    We arrived at the Ruth's Chris Steak House in Wailea, parking was easy, we arrived at 6:00 PM and our table was ready for us. We were promptly greeted and taken to our table. We were seated and then greeted by our server Matt, who was excellent. Matt greeted us and thanked me for choosing Ruth's Chris Steak House, to celebrate my birthday. At that time, Matt took our beverage orders and promptly brought them to our table. We placed our orders, and he brought our appetizers, and they were delicious. In a timely manner our main course arrived at the table. The steaks were exactly as we ordered, and everyone was completely satisfied with our dinner. Matt checked back several times and provided expert service and conversation. I will be returning back to Ruth's Chris Steak House, in the near future for another fantastic meal, before I leave the beautiful island of Maui.

    D.J. was OUTSTANDING in his Customer Service ‼️So accommodating and kind. Very knowledgeable about the menu and what is offered. We will be back because of his aloha spirit and sweet attitude towards us Tutu’s❣️Also, Shea is terrific too‼️ PLEASE go back to offering the Squash Ravioli the new one is not at all flavorful and doesn’t NOT compare and the Pot Stickers are okay but not as good as the ones before. The Deviled Eggs, New Shrimp 🍤 Appetizer, Fish n Chips, Lamb, etc…are wonderful! If you could make a Day After Pork Belly Ramen as you do at your other Merriman Restaurant that would be great‼️ Mahalo Nui Loa for an enjoyable mealtime and beautiful music 🎶. Suszi🌺
