Restaurants near Cal Expo

My wife and I first experience at Ruth Chris was on August of 2024 to celebrate her birthday where we met out server Kim who made our experience wonderful. We decided to return the day after VDay (2025) for a late celebration and luckily she was our server once again, And even after 6 months had passed she not only remembered us but remembered our entire order. Kim’s energy, personality and customer service is wonderful it’s hard to find people with such positive welcoming qualities. We will definitely continue to make the 1hour 30minute drive not only for the food but for Kim. Thank you Kim for being so kind and making our experiences so amazing.

Had a party of five for Valentine’s evening. Restaurant was busy but service was outstanding. Ordered the empanadas & trio dip to start. All were delicious and had that homemade taste- not over-seasoned/ salted like many other restaurants do. Entree portions were generous & easily split without feeling like you didn’t get enough to eat. The center cut filet came out a bit undercooked to preference but our server promptly took it back & brought the plate out with properly cooked steak with new sides also. We appreciated the attentiveness of the wait staff. Cocktails were great and the butter cake was a yummy dessert to share. Highly recommended this place & look forward to trying more of their menu items on a return visit!

The experience was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, the staff was attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. We kicked off our culinary adventure with the tantalizing Tuna Tartare, bursting with flavor. The lobster bisque was out of this world, rich and creamy—every spoonful a delight! For the main course, my husband savored the juicy pork chops, while I indulged in the exquisite sea scallops that danced on my palate. Each dish was a masterpiece, leaving us both raving about the incredible meal we just enjoyed!

I proposed to my girlfriend this evening at this very tremendous place. The environment was romantic, atmosphere was friendly, employees were coordinated. Everything was just perfect.

Plenty of parking!! The service was great and the food came out fast
