    I just wanted a good night out with family …. And a good steak. RC did not disappoint. Our server was outstanding. The meals were all just great-tasting. The calamari was amazing! The sides were packed with flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed my peppercorn encrusted filet. My wife’s filet was overcooked. They quickly resolved the issue, promptly presenting her with a new filet. The manager also stopped by our table, expressed his concern about the overcooked steak. Overall, it was a wonderful dinner experience. Sitting by the fire on a winter day also added to it. There are several Steak places around, but a few with this atmosphere. Definitely, worthy of future dinners.

    Ruth's Chris Steak House has the most amazing food. While it is pricey, the food is well worth it! The wait staff is seasoned and personable. Management came to the table to ensure that we enjoyed our meal and the environment during the evening. There is not much that I would change about this experience and highly recommend this dining experience to anyone!

    For a fine dinning restaurant I was a little shocked by the service, and the food tase/quality. I waited a shockingly long time at the bar before I was greeted and served. And again when we are sat at the table. The food was good but disappointing for the price. Although, the server has worked there for a long time she lacked connection energy, and explanation.

    This was the most poorly run Ruth Chris restaurants I've been to. Head waiters were running around. Assistant staff standing around talking not attending to customers. Hostess looking at her cell phone. An hour wait between appetizer and main course. I lost my appetite. The waiter was apologetic and said the manager will come by. Never saw him/her.

    The food was very good across the board, but the beef tended to the rare side across four different cuts. If you want medium-rare, order medium. Not a great value. Dinner for four, with multiple rounds of drinks, wine, appetizers, and desserts came to $757 with a 20% tip. There’s a LOT of other places you can go and get same/similar food and service for way less.

    Service by Honey and her team was a wonderfull addition to the suberb food. The classic fixed price choice(s) remains a great value for the quality of the meal. It was nice that Lee, the manager, dropped by to ensure everthing was perfect. Which is was!

    2 of the steaks ordered at our table had to be sent back for further cooking. we ordered medium and steaks were presented as rare to medium rare at best. a minor point but bread/butter not delivered to the table until a few minutes before mains arrived. Steaks were very good but it took 10 minutes for them to be brought to medium in which other items such veggies and potato's were cooled.

    The restaurant was very busy. We were sat 15 min after our reservation. The server took our drink order but we didn’t order our food for another 30 minutes. Everyone was starving. Dinner was good, but the desserts were not. The Apple Tart - the apples weren’t even close to being cooked. The plain cheese cake was soupy. For the amount of money spent, we will certainly think twice before coming here again.

    I have been to a number of Ruth Chris’s steakhouse, but this was my first time at this location, and I doubt that we will go back. We came to celebrate my grandson’s birthday, and were very disappointed. The service and ambience were excellent but the food left so much to be desired. The veal osso bucco ravioli was tasty but only moderately warm. The batter and sauce on the calamari was good, although it could have easily been mistaken for kung pao chicken. It was not warm, and there was very little calamari in it. The lobster bisque was just OK.  Main course: The fillet was very good and tender, although not warm. I did order it medium rare, and it was prepared to perfection although it still could’ve been warm on the outside. The shrimp was very good. My grandson ordered the 16 ounce ribeye, a little bit more cooked then “Blue”. He was very pleased with the way it was prepared, and said the flavor was good, but once he got not quite halfway through his steak, it was so tough he could not finish the rest. The much touted hashbrowns, was a giant order—but cold. And my grandson told me that the mashed potatoes were delicious. The small cheesecake at the end of the meal was also delicious. It was excellent service, and beautiful ambience. If we had had only dessert and a cocktail, it would have been a wonderful evening.  Maybe the kitchen was having an off night, but it is far too costly to take another chance on it.

    First, Our waitress, Young, was great! It was our anniversary, and she took several pictures of us at our table – her idea. Loved that. We tried the artichoke and sun-dried tomato with goat cheese dip, which came with crostini toast. It was very delicious! We each had a very good cocktail, poured at our table by our waitress from shakers. I tried one of the specials, the six ounce filet with three grilled shrimp and mashed potatoes, all included. The steak was cooked to perfection, the shrimp was good, and the mashed potatoes were good, but nothing spectacular. My husband tried the bone in, New York strip, which came à la cart. Oh, the steak again, was cooked perfectly as ordered. He had a baked potato, which he said was the best one he’s ever had, and a bowl of the lobster bisque. The lobster bisque was good, but nothing spectacular. They served us complimentary mini cheesecakes with fresh fruit and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. On the plate. “ happy anniversary.” who was written with some dark chocolate. All in all, it was a great dining experience, and I would highly recommend for any special occasion . Our bill totaled $224.72 before tip.
