    From The moment we walked in the staff made us feel very welcome. We had a nice table tucked in a corner, served by our favourite, Jeff. He is amazing, attentive without being intrusive. He helped us get advice on Portuguese wine, and surprised us with a yummy dessert! We require gluten free options, Sabor handles that without skipping a beat. We love Sabor, we will be back as soon as we can

    Once again, Ruth’s Chris delivered an incredible dining experience. My wife, two daughters, and I came in for a Valentine’s date, and it was no surprise to find the restaurant fully booked—good thing I made our reservations back in January! As always, we were promptly seated, and this time, we had the pleasure of having Emilio as our server. While every visit has been fantastic, Emilio truly took the experience to another level. His exceptional service, attention to detail, and spot-on recommendations made the night even more memorable. The food, of course, was outstanding. My wife’s petite filet was cooked to perfection, my 16oz ribeye was full of flavor, and the kids' menu offered fantastic options like steak and salmon—something our daughters absolutely loved. While the food at Ruth’s Chris is always a highlight, what keeps us coming back is the overall experience and top-tier service. Tonight was no exception, with Emilio and his team making it a truly special evening. Looking forward to our next visit!

    That place was insanely good. I had one of the best meals ever there. I cannot believe how GOOD that bacon is. Did the feed me option sharing 8 different dishes with my GF, 5-6 glasses of wine and it only came out to 240$ with 25% tip! Cannot get that value anywhere else. The staff is extremely friendly and the chef is GODLIKE. Every single dish was a smashing hit and I will definitely be going back with friends. Thank you Tzin for a great experience, you guys are the best for a reason!
