- DDocSt. Louis •3 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe had a lot of comp credits to use and invited two friends. The waitress was extremely competent, professional and courteous. She explained everything we required about and had several helpful suggestions. The food is very upscale, similar to Mary's and the Flame. It is very pricey because it is in a casino, where many patrons use comps to purchase food. Many of the clientele were not dress appropriately for a fine dining restaurant. Tank tops, hats on backwards and shorts are not casual business attire. We were told that we could not get earlier reservations but our friends arrived 45 minutes early and were seated immediately. We were on the casino floor at the time and arrived at the scheduled reservation time. In the future, we will always arrive early.More infoRuthie's Steak & Seafood at Walker's Bluff Casino ResortPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Cambria•4.8
