    The steaks were not the quality of meat you would expect for this high end restaurant. They were slightly overdone as well, but our server Keanu was a delight and added to our enjoyment. We will not be back to this location.

    Our waitress never mentioned our anniversary. (Although the person that sat us did.) And she took very long checking back with us several times, especially to take our main order. Crab and corn chowder is not up to par. Disappointed overall.

    This is my first time to this location and I would say it was overall pretty good. The service was probably the best part Jon was great and attentive. The steak was cooked to perfection also served on a plate that was 500° which was even better. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have a quality steak in the area.

    Ruth Chris delivered on our expectations. Service was outstanding from start to finish. Attentive. Helpful. Steaks were cooked to absolute perfection. Filet Mignon was tender and juicy. Asparagus. A bit woody and lacked flavor. Nobody goes to Ruth Chris for the vegetables though. Just avoid the asparagus. Nice wine list. Pricey but not overpriced for the selection. Great steak. Great service. Excellent wine. Large tab. Everything we expected. No regrets.
