   First of all - we haven’t been to Ruth’s for over 12 years. We were promptly seated and requested the sommelier open our 1995 Bordeaux we had brought with us. Our server was brilliant, attentive and personable. She got the sommelier over and he expertly opened and decanted our wine. Champagne round on the house, we ordered cocktails and our steaks. Drinks were great - they were happy to have us sit a while as our wine decanted before taking our steak orders. Steak and sides arrive - super hot played, hot steaks, porterhouse for 2 was perfectly cooked, sides were good although I recall the gratin being a lot better then the chopped potatoes and cheese we were served. Regardless the food was superb and we finished off with complementary desserts. Fabulous service, fabulous food, fabulous drinks. We won’t be waiting 12 years for our next visit!

   We were celebrating our 47th anniversary. We had a lovely server. Enjoyed our outstanding, awesome dinner and received a complementary cheesecake dessert that was yummy. Also a champagne toast when we first came in. We’ll be back for the next celebration.

   Great experience! Great service from our server Juan! I usually only get to experience Ruth’s when I’m in Anaheim. This was equally as enjoyable!

   We have been to many Ruth Chris restaurants prior to this visit, and it’s unfortunate that this one was the nail in the coffin. Honestly this experience has ruined any future visits for our families to Ruth chris. To start, there were very rowdy crowds of birthday parties in very minimal clothing. Seemed to not be a dress code policy. The service was poor, our waiter did not seem interested in serving nor was friendly in any way. All of our steaks were cooked to the wrong temperature from rare to well done. Just an overall very poor experience. Would not recommend unless you are wanting to pay expensive prices for a sizzler quality dining experience.

   The steaks were very good, cooked perfectly. My wife's filet was particularly good. The sides and apps were all nicely done as well and chocolate cake dessert was outstanding. Service was also very good-almost too good, if you know what I mean. A lot of check-ins...but we never had to ask for anything, were never rushed and everything was paced perfectly so I'll take that anytime! Also, an excellent wine list. We found a great bottle that paired well with the steaks (make mine with the Bleu cheese and garlic topping, yum!) and the dessert. Good spot for a special occasion, they took good care of us. Special shout out to whoever programmed the excellent New Orleans music played at an enjoyable, tasteful level.

   I have to say the food was amazing as always and service was top notch . However the clientele has changed. We saw a young lady in see through dress w a thong on, ppl wearing not appropriate attire. Not trying to be snooty but it was kind of trashy
