    We had a great experience. Appreciated the good table, service, etc. All was very good. It was very busy so it took time for our meals to be served but i did feel that was due to how busy it was. Thank you for the lovely evening.

    First visit and won’t be the last. We were celebrating several milestones and the folks at Ruth Chris did not disappoint. Our server, Tyrone, was outstanding. Attentive and friendly, he never rushed us and seemed to know just when to check in. Our steaks—strip and petit filet—were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The salads and sides were good but not as good as the mains. We felt well cared for and valued as diners. Worth a visit.

    Last minute booking on a Monday night, friend in town who I haven't seen since before the pandemic. Our waiter Kristen was very patient with us as we were talking a lot and not paying much attention to the menu! We ordered some appetizers, entrees, dessert - everything was delicious. It was a little noisy but it was a surprisingly full house for a Monday night. Only real complaint was it was very warm in the restaurant.
