    I went later in the night before heading to a nightclub. The upstairs floor had great views, but the cold evening was apparent when sitting next to the windows. The food and drinks were top shelf. If I ever need another pre-game before heading to the nearby nightclub, this is the spot.

    We recently visited Ruth’s Chris Steak House and had a fantastic experience. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with a warm that set the perfect tone for a hearty meal. The steaks / seafood were cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The sides were also a highlight, especially the garlic mashed potatoes, creamed spinach and sweet potato casserole. Rachel and team provided excellent and attentive service. Overall, a great spot for anyone looking for a top-notch steak in a relaxed setting. Highly recommend!
