    The Wilmington location of Ruth’s Chris is always outstanding and our latest visit was no exception. The porterhouse for two was simply amazing and it was the perfect lunch spot for Father’s Day.

    The restaurant in Wilmington NC is designed a little odd. While there after getting views of the river, one is forced to go up an elevator to access the restaurant and unless I missed that they have two dining rooms…It’s smaller than most steakhouses…. Food is prepared well and kept warm throughout your meal as the chef heats the plates up well in advance. One of the very few white tablecloth restaurants in Wilmington. Certainly worth a visit. Don’t mind me I’m a bit of a steakhouse snob being spoiled by big city steakhouses in the past.

    We had a party of 14 for my son and his best friend’s High School Graduation. Our server Connor did a phenomenal job taking care of all of us and tending to everybody’s needs. The food came out perfectly and was delicious. They even added rose petals to the table and brought the graduates a complimentary dessert. We are very impressed with the service and food for having such a large party. Highly recommend!

    Ruth’s Chris Steak House always does a wonderful job. The food is delicious, quiet reserved atmosphere, and the attentive service was extraordinary.  Our server, Shelly insured our food came out at the proper time, followed up occasionally to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and didn’t disturb us to ensure this wonderful meal. Shelly really sets the bar how table service should be. Very enjoyable evening!
