    Our experience was excellent, the food was wonderful, the portions were generous. The wine was delicious and service was great. Only recommendation would be to stop your hostess from chewing gum while on duty, not a good look for this type of restaurant. Will recommend this place to friends when staying in town.

    This may be one of the best RC s in the US. We had a slight problem with one of our orders, but the staff jumped on the issue right off. Other than that this place is always impeccable.

    The filet was not as tender as we have had at other Ruth's Chris steakhouses. The crab cakes were good as were our salads, ceasar and chopped. The sweet potato casserole was overly sweet and more like a dessert than a side. We were disappointed they did not offer the Ruth's classic with an all inclusive dinner like our Ruth's Chris does in Minneapolis and many other Ruth's Chris also. The experience was not as special as we are used to from this restaurant.

    Quality of service was excellent as always. However the food quality is down. There was nothing special about the Chef's special Grouper with lump crab. My sirloin, asked for med rare received well done. Prices have dramatically risen over the last year.

    The food was great. They brought us pretty much straight in and got us seated. This ain’t a complaint but we thought it was a little more formal that ot was. Lot of folks with hats and shorts. But overall it was a good experience.

    One of the significant things about Ruth’s Chris, Steak House, is that the steak arrives immediately at the table and is sizzling! Last night was the first time that we did not experience that sizzle. The server left the plates on the tray far too long and seemed disorganized and confused. It was a disappointment to say the least.

    The food and service was absolutely wonderful! The table that was seated beside us, with 2 small ruined the ambiance. We didn't enjoy the noise and children screaming beside us while we had dinner.

    Hadn't been here in a few years. Have to say I was disappointed with the steak. Had a rib-eye that was a little tough, and very fatty. Just wasn't what I expected. I've had a better piece of meat in local steak houses.

    We dine at Ruth Chris at least once a year, usually at least for our wedding anniversary. We were surprised to have cold spots in our mashed potatoes, and mushrooms were not very hot either. The steaks were great as always, but the whole experience was a little underwhelming this time.
