    We recently celebrated our anniversary at Ruth's Chris Steak House and it was an incredible experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for our special night. We requested a booth where we could sit side by side and the staff was more than accommodating, making us feel truly special. Our waiter was fantastic, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly while the hostesses were equally lovely, contributing to the overall welcoming vibe of the restaurant. Now let’s talk about the food; everything we ordered was exceptional. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy and bursting with flavor, and I must say the wedge salad was the best I have ever had, fresh, crisp, and dressed just right. Plus we found it to be a great value for such a high-quality dining experience. It was the perfect setting to celebrate our special day and we left with full hearts and satisfied palates. Thank you Ruth's Chris for making our anniversary truly memorable; we can’t wait to return for our next celebration!

    Been going to this Ruth’s Chris regularly for 30 years. Disappointed to learn Lobster Bisque is no longer offered as a regular menu item, but rather now an occasional soup of the day. Was a classic and staple that I looked forward to, the soup of the day when I visited was French onion which seems too rich/heavy for a for rack of lamb. Requested my rack of lamb to be medium-rare but came out medium-well. This is second occasion since Ruth’s Chris was acquired that quality and consistency seemed to be slipping. Prior to the acquisition I never had to worry about consistency and that’s one reason I kept coming back. I hope things consistency improves.

    We had reservations to celebrate our anniversary there on a Saturday night. When the hostess greeted us she congratulated us on our anniversary and led us promptly to our table with a view. She also sprinkled some red heart shaped confetti on our table! Our server was the AMAZING Gil, he had been our waiter before. Gil is the most attentive, polite, knowledgeable server we have ever had at ANY restaurant. My filet was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. The sweet potato side dish is amazing. The cheesecake dessert was delicious! Gil made sure we had everything we needed and it was a perfect meal! Thank you!

    Ribeye was supposed to be medium rare. But it was overcooked and tough to cut. Sides, service and everything else was excellent.

    I asked for privacy and a booth and was sat at a table in front of a coughing sick man and his partner in a very busy area when more private options existed. Dinner was very uncomfortable. Hostess needs to do a much better job at taking requests into account. The patron near me was very sick and my dinner experience was ruined.

    It was my husband’s birthday and our first time being at Ruth’ Chris. The staff was outstanding and took the time to explain everything. The food was fantastic. It is now our go to place for special events. Everyone who came to our table, wished my husband a quiet happy birthday. No big singing thing, just a respectful acknowledgment.
