Me and my wife come to the area every year between Christmas and the New Year and every year it never fails to impress. The service is always amazing, both the server themselves as well as the assistants. The ambience is always relaxing and calm yet you get an incredible feeling that this is the place to be. Absolutely 5/5 and will continue to come to this Ruth’s Chris for many years to come!
