    First time there - will be back. I ordered the Mix Grill so I could try a few different things. The filet, crab cake and stuffed chicken breast were all wonderful.

    Celebrated my wife’s 70th Birthday and the whole experience was outstanding. From the starting before dinner to the deserts to go at the end, everything was perfect! The Ruth Chris’s pairing dinner was an exceptional value and the portions were generous. The staff were very, professional, friendly and helpful with our order.. At the end of our meal, we order deserts to go and found an extra birthday desert had been included, this was a surprise that made my wife’s dinner even more special.

    The birthday experience is non existent anymore. No table decor, no happy birthday on the dessert plate just the hostess, server, and manager tell you happy birthday. This is my first time I’ve experienced this.

    My husband and I had the petite fillet and shrimp as our main course. We had crab crakes as an appetizer. All the food was excellent. We went out to dinner for our anniversary. They made it special by placing rose petals on our table and the staff and manager wished us a Happy Anniversary. This place is spectacular!!!!
