Based on my previous two Ruth's Chris experiences, the dinner was in line with their standards. My goal is to order something I have had before. In regards to the noise level rating I gave, I wore my usual noise cancellation earplugs. There was three inches of snow in the city, yet it was well plowed away from the entrance of Ruth's Chris. I dined there yesterday.

Service was outstanding. Lisa was our server. Food was delish. The gentleman assisting was helpful and professional. We ordered the large seafood tower, Caesar salads, shared a filet and ordered a ribeye and filet to go. All very good.

Loes was great, and the server recommended a Burbon, which was excellent. The food was very good; I had the Walleye, and my wife had the maui maui, which she enjoyed. Our original table was toward the rear of the dining room, and we asked if a table near the window was available, and they moved us. Excellent service.
