The Spicy Kitty was superb and the Korean Chicken is always a fave. Chef Robin’s chocolate cake with kulolo is officially a new favorite as well. I hope it stays on the menu!

We continue to return to Ruth’s Chris for their excellent service and wonderful food. We have never had a bad experience or meal. The manager, David, is very friendly and ensures that you have the best experience possible. Definitely worth the price and we highly recommend them.

Excellent service. The food was exactly how we ordered it. Oysters were fresh and beautifully presented. A must is the Wolfgang salad - juicy tomatoes, sweet onions, roasted red bell peppers, bite sized shrimp, hearty blocks of bacon, all nestled on a bed of iceberg lettuce. The ribeye was tender and juicy. We enjoyed our dinning experience. Parking is validated.
