Ruth's Chris is a chain, but they never disappoint. I enjoy the classic steakhouse experience. The food is expertly prepared. The steaks are delicious. Service was outstanding. It's pricey but probably on par with other high-end steakhouses.

They should let you know BEFORE HAND if they're not participating in restaurant week! I've been there to celebrate my anniversary for the past several years and this is the first time they weren't participating. Fortunately, price wasn't an issue. Also, if you want a booth, be sure to specify that in your reservation. And finally, if you want Heineken, they no longer serve it. The saving grace is that the food is still excellent.

I had a business lunch. The restaurant was surprisingly not occupied. I think we were the only table for lunch and the music blared in an almost empty restaurant. The starters did not come out in order so we had to wait while one appetizer came out and then the other two quite some time later. For a business lunch, this is awkward. The bartender was our waiter as we were sat in the front. He was attentive and provided solid service. Our entrees were solid, but expected to be. 3.5 overall.

Service at Ruth’s Chris has gone down hill! It has always been our go-to restaurant but it no longer will be. It took way too long for one of my guests to hear back from the waiter that the bartender didn’t know what Canadian club whiskey was and couldn’t make him a 7&7. When he reordered a gin and tonic, it also took way too long again. The place was not crowded, just poor service. The fish dish I ordered was swimming in butter, I could not eat the dish, it was bland and terrible. Lastly, my husband was given a spoon with which to eat a shrimp cocktail and not a shrimp fork….poor training! We were given lunch menus and seated at a table for our 4 people with only 3 place settings and 3 chairs—we had to point this out to the young man that was seating us—again, poorly trained!

The highlight of dining at Ruth Chris is undoubtedly their delicious steaks. Cooked to perfection, the steaks are always tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Whether you prefer a filet mignon, ribeye, or New York strip, you can expect top-notch quality and excellent preparation. Their appetizers such as the spicy shrimp or barbecue for shrimp are amazing and their sides such as creamed spinach and sweet potato casserole , perfectly complement the main course and are also worth trying. In terms of service, Ruth Chris Steakhouse excels in providing exceptional customer service. The staff is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu providing recommendations and ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Moreover, the waitstaff is well-trained and efficient, delivering food promptly and always making guests feel welcome, especially the staff that was in the bar area on 08/05/2023 around 5 p.m.

The steaks were excellent as were the typical steak house sides. Our waiter was new but very good and professional. The problem was they are extremely short staffed and he was handling way too many tables in this large Steak house. The manager came over after handling a complaint from the table behind us and saw we needed a cocktail. The first old fashioned we ordered was perfect, so we ordered a 2nd. We don't know who made the 2nd but it clearly wasn't the bartender as it was terrible. We couldn't get anyone's attention for quite some time to complain so eventually just drank them. We were celebrating a birthday and the waiter came over at the end with a candle and sang - he truly did his best at this terribly run restaurant.

I love eating at Ruth's Chris, but this was the most expensive EVER! $69 for a 16 oz steak? There were 4 of us, we only drank water, one person ate a kid's meal, and 2 of us split the steak. We only ordered 1 side for 3 people (it was plenty), no desserts, no appetizers. Before the tip - $189!!! Now... I will say, the food was wonderful, the service perfect, and the atmosphere just like I like. Valet parking was a little slow since they only one guy. Not sure if I can ever afford to eat here again.

From the time me and my guest walked through the doors, every encounter was amazing. We were greeted with a pleasure and warm smile from the host and Omar was a fantastic server. He was very patient and attentive to our needs and we were also greeted by the assistance manager and she too was very pleasant and made herself available to ensure our experience was to perfection. I have been to many of Ruth Chris locations and this one is on my top 3 for outstanding service and ambience.
