Food was good but extremely overpriced. Wait staff was very attentive. Tables were tucked in very tight so not much privacy. I really like this steakhouse and have been numerous times before. Perhaps it was just extremely crowded with the holiday and the environment felt different but for some reason I felt a little abused at paying $600 to feed 5 people…no drinks involved.

Super nice experience for our anniversary. The steaks were amazing, service was great and staff was friendly. My only wish is that the sides weren’t family style. They feed 2-3 people but it was hard when we wanted different sides than each other.

Enjoyed another dinner at Ruthie’s. Excellent service and food. Beautiful setting. Have to appreciate a restaurant that creates an environment allowing for communication; ceiling, carpet, upholstered chairs, tablecloths. The only place in town where the decibels are acceptable. Elegant and enjoyable.

We have eaten here many times. No longer living in the area but make it a point to come here when we are in town. Service and atmosphere were great. Food was great. Ribeye was perfectly cooked and the Sea Bass, mmmm. Price for the area is in the mid to upper end where it belongs. Definitely recommend and we will be back.
