    Last minute dinner decision for my husband birthday. The view was lovely, the clam chowder delicious, the Ahi Poke was delicious. The drinks were perfect and Miho was very knowledgeable on what to eat. Had a great time. We were impressed.

    Bali Polynesian Restaurant is a hidden gem that transports diners to a tropical paradise. Recently, we had the pleasure of dining there when our son, who is currently serving in the Navy, came to town. The moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped by the vibrant ambiance—exotic decor, soft island music, and the warm smiles of the staff set the perfect tone for our evening. The menu was a delightful exploration of Polynesian cuisine, featuring fresh seafood and aromatic spices. We started with the coconut shrimp, which was perfectly crisp and paired with a sweet dipping sauce. For the main course, we savored the teriyaki salmon, which was grilled to perfection and served with a side of fragrant jasmine rice and seasonal vegetables. Each bite was a burst of flavor, making it a truly memorable meal. The combination of outstanding food and the relaxing atmosphere made our family gathering all the more special. It was a wonderful way to reconnect and celebrate our son’s visit. We can’t wait to return!

    I celebrated my birthday with my husband, son, and our son's fiance. We started with and shared two appetizers, the artichokes and burrata caprese. The artichokes were lemony and beyond delicious, and the burrata cheese for the caprese was fresh and creamy! Our entrees were the special-of-the-day spinach ravioli, mushroom/beef risotto, sausage gnocchi, and margherita wood-fired pizza. We all thoroughly enjoyed each item that we ordered! My son's fiancee and I each enjoyed a glass of chianti that was as smooth as velvet! Our dinner tab came to $200, which was amazing for all the food, drink and enjoyment we experienced!

    Amazing experience and delicious food! This was our first time at Ruth’s Chris and the ribeye we ordered was one of the best ribeyes we’ve ever had. Ordered medium rare and it came out sizzling hot on a 500* plate. Incredibly tender and buttery. Surprisingly, our steaks were pretty warm till the last bite, likely due to the hot plate. We complimented our steaks with two sides: fries and creamy spinach. So good. Keep in mind the sides are shareable. They come in huge portions. Our server Brandon was exceptional as was his co-worker Oscar. They were on top of it. Being first timers, Brandon happily went over the WHOLE menu with us and offered recommendations as well. Thank you Ruth’s Chris till next time.
