I came here tonight to celebrate a special occasion
We are regulars and I was very disappointed in the quality of steak that my husband received. It had a vein in it and was not a $60 piece of meat by any stretch.

It is beautiful to sit outside . The patio is such a nice way to have a social distant dinner in a inviting atmosphere.

Due to the pandemic, seating was only on the patio. Beautiful setting, sunset over the lagoon. Firewall and patio heaters kept temperature comfortable.

70th birthday dinner. Food and service spectacular, as always.
Birthday dessert was delicious and festive.

Happy we were able to keep our yearly tradition even with the pandemic. Plenty of heaters to keep you warm (especially by the "fire wall"). Service and the food was great as always even if the menu was lightened up a little, they did keep the goodies (filet, crême brulée). The staff were just soooo nice. Thank you.

Fui con mi hijo y comimos muy bien

I love Ruth’s Chris 🙋🏽‍♀️

Food was excellent as usual. Jon gave us above and beyond service.

Salads, steaks, cocktails, wine, service - virtually everything was outstanding as usual EXCEPT for the fries. In the first place, their amazing shoestring potatoes have not been on the menu since outdoor only dining began. Why? Absolutely no idea why such a classic steakhouse item is not available, yet mediocre french fries are offered. Definitely not up to what we have come to expect at Ruth's Chris. In an effort to replicate what we enjoy most about the shoestring potatoes, we requested that the fries be 'well done'. Well, they were certainly brown, but not crispy in the least. Very disappointed, but hoping to see the return of the shoestring potatoes to round out what is otherwise a virtually perfect dining experience!

The entire experience was very nice!

Valentines

One steak had to go back because it was over cooked, the potatoes were a little too greasy. The soup wasn’t hot when we got it. The service was great and our server got our new steak promptly! They brought us fresh potatoes but then didn’t give them to us in our leftover box! I’d say the service was better than the food, but still delicious!

We went on Valentine’s Day. We always enjoy our meals at Ruth’s Chris,

Rich is by far our favorite server. We’re alittle disappointed when he’s not but that’s been on rare occasion.

He is always very welcoming, friendly, attentive. He remembers our drinks, wraps the bones for our dogs, and this time sent us home with a dessert on him.

Great food, exceptional service!!!

We’ll be back

The food and service never disappoints, the waiter was very attentive and steaks were delish. Unfortunately only outdoor dining was available so I was nervous it was going to be too cold at 8pm but they had so many heaters I didn't even need to wear a jacket!

It was a great dining experience, very tasty and hot food. Great service! Would definitely recommend and be back.

Ruth's is always great and this locationI visited for the first time while traveling. I will be back!

Attentive server

great food and service-a little noisy traffic from freeway

Food was perfect as always and service was great. Heaters on the patio were warm.

Excellent service. Plenty of heaters even with outdoor dining on a cold night. Food excellent!!

My friend loved her petite filet. I did not like my shrimp
on top of mashed potatoes-weird combo and shrimp were smallish and seemed like frozen shrimp. Not good. Salads were ok. Prices though are very high for quality. Also usually high priced restaurants do not bring checks before they’re asked for-it happened here. For their prices the restaurant should learn to be more upscale.

Initially we were seated in a cold area and asked to be moved. The request was accommodated, which was great. Our order was taken after five minutes and out salad came out five minutes later which was fine. Then we proceeded to wait another 50 Minutes for our main course (our waiter never checked on us during that time). When the steaks were delivered by the waiter they were not on the signature sizzling steaks and sides were cold (not from resting the meat). The manager came over and obtained new plates and sides. That said, the quality of the meat was average at best.
Manager was great. Server was very sub-par and so was the food. Frankly, a waste of $200 and an evening out.

Birthday night for my girlfriend and I plus her first experience there. Could not have been better. Rich our waiter was amazing. Food was off the blazin chain great and managers were on top of everything and friendly. Looking forward to returning. A+++!!!

First time dining outdoor at Ruth’s Chris. Set up is very nice. Good space around tables, outside fire and plenty of heat. Amazing service. Dinner was great.

This Ruths Chris location is always excellent!! The Management, staff, atmosphere, food, drinks, all top notch. The staff goes above and beyond for every expectation. Our server was Julius. He was friendly and professional and we never had to ask for a drink refill, etc. He was on top of it the entire meal. The steak and lobster were cooked to perfection! I look forward to our next visit!

Wonderful evening with our server-Chris! Food was prepared
with perfections!

They sat us at the end of the fire wall. Only half the table was covered by the heat and it was minimal. We asked for an additional heater and they said they did not have one to provide. We were left extremely cold and so was our food before we could finish the meal.

Make sure you know where you are going to sit or expect it to be too cold to enjoy.

Fantastic!

Great food, service, and ambiance. Will come back

Warm and welcoming from the door in to saying goodbye. Very nice seating. Great food. Staff and atmosphere outstanding.

Great service, food and atmosphere! I loved the outdoor seating. Lots of room and lots of outdoor heating. Perfection!!!

What a great opportunity to eat a fabulous meal out on their new patio. The firepits were awesome and it felt great to have a 5 star meal even during a pandemic. Great Job Ruth Chris!

Amazing food and service!

Great server! We were seated outside and it was very comfortable.

RC Del Mar has done a fantastic job with their outdoor dining area.

Great service, great food, great ambience.

Love this place.

Always fantastic. Not much to add to that. Paying $60 for a steak is always a bit to swallow but everything else makes up for it.

It was our anniversary so we thought we have a family date. With our son we came here and the food was amazing! The service was amazing. My son and husband loved their cracked pepper fillets. They enjoyed the piping hot plates that continued to cook their medium rare meat. Our server, Scott, was so nice, so were all the other servers. They were also very accommodating to my vegetarian diet. They were sure to congratulate us on our special occasion too. When we ordered desert they brought them out with “Happy Anniversary” written on our plates in chocolate! It was so sweet! Overall it was a wonderful night with great food and amazing service.

First time dining and everything was great - will be back for the next special occasion in our family.

Tony was short with us, rude... and lied to us about having the simplest things such as berries and ice cream so when the next waiter walked by (sweet as ever) we asked him the same question and low and behold out came the ice cream and berries. Total jerk. We eat here quite a bit... by far the WORST SERVICE ever at Carmel Valley Ruth Chris!! Sad....

It’s always very good. Great service and great food!!!
Thank you

The portions were very small for the price. The service and atmosphere were good.
