    I love the place service is great … manu changes a lot but they still can make you your old favorites like the beefsteak tomatoes salad. I was shocked about the calorie amount it’s cool the drizzle but maybe they should have another option. Crazy calories even in the salmon. Other suggestions might be the air conditioner to high. But this are my suggestions. Nice neighborhood restaurant…

    Usually the steak is absolutely exceptional. Yesterday it was really tough, hard to cut and hard to chew. We understand sometimes a cut of steak can be better than others, but this particular steak was really not good at all. We were not in the right mood to ask for them to cook us another. We did mention that we were not super happy with it and they offered us free dessert. It’s one of our go-to spots so we’ll be back soon and hopefully have a better experience.

    We came very excited to celebrate Father’s Day at one of our go to steak houses. We had a reservation for 8 and we were still made to wait. I ordered a fillet medium which was confirmed to me pink in the inside. Unfortunately was rare. Sent it back, which waiter acknowledged wasn’t medium. Worst thing in a steak place to sit on an empty plate. Then got it back, still not medium. At that point I gave it to my sons who eat medium rare. Manager noticed my steak went back. No apology though. May never go back

    we went for Father’s Day service was great however, the French onion soup was horrible. The cheese was hard, and the soup was cold. The mac & cheese was very, very salty and the lamb chops as well too much salt. The staff did compensate and take the items off the bill. just was disappointed since we’ve never had a bad meal or experience at Ruth Chris before.

    Ruth's Chris Steak House is located in an airy office building-like setting. It's modern, contemporary and beautifully decorated. The food is delicious as always and the service is impeccable. Sit back and enjoy a fabulous meal with left-over to enjoy the next day!

    We had a wonderful Father's Day lunch at Ruth's Chris Del Mar. We were fortunate enough to once again have Anthony as our bartender/server. Drinks were perfect, food was great and service was excellent. Thank you.

    The bar area is very dark and there is a limited number of seats. The dining area was much more pleasant and the service was very good. The steak was perfectly cooked and the sides were too.

    We decided to come here to celebrate my dual citizenship and presidents club at work. Reservation made for 10:30 as we were seeing a comedy show in downtown which we moved up to 9:45 bc things ended earlier than we thought. It felt like they were already closed lol very quiet I’ve never been here like this but hey I finally got a booth we almost never get so a win but it was a bit disappointing. Service was confused we order pelligrino and it never comes get ice tap instead. No big deal it eventually comes and we get squared away. Waiter brings limes sliced on a paper napkin puts it on the table. Did they run out of plates at 9:30 sharp? Weird Bread came out once we were done with our osso bucco ravioli. I needed bread to mop up sauce. Then it came and we enjoyed the cold albeit delicious sauce with very hot bread and had to hurry bc our mains were coming. Just felt rushed, not the service we have gotten used to. Felt disorganized. Should reservations be available this late if the staff isn’t ready for it?
