    We have two private dining rooms that are the perfect place to host any event, from an intimate family gathering to a large company party. The Essex room is for more moderately sized parties, and can easily accommodate groups of up to 25 guests. The Miller room is for more substantially sized parties, and is able to accommodate groups of up to 40 guests. If neither room is sufficiently sized to hold your event on its own, the collapsible wall that separates them can be stowed away, and this extended space will accommodate up to 65 guests. The 80 inch HD TVs located behind sliding walls in each room are ideal for any presentation needs you may have. Call or visit https://www.ruthschris.com/private-events/ to inquire about availability.

    Our waiter Owen was lovely as was the bus boy. Food was fantastic. I do find steakhouses to be ridiculously expensive in general but RC is on par with others so it is what it is. Side dishes can be a bit larger. Otherwise, we had a fantastic meal

    Disappointing Dining Experience My recent visit to this restaurant was thoroughly underwhelming. The hostess who seated us was not only unhelpful when asked about the bathroom’s location but acted as if she owned the place, too fancy to answer such a simple question. This set a negative tone from the start. We had reserved a standard table, but were led to a high-top instead, which didn’t match our expectations. The atmosphere felt mismatched—like expecting a fine-dining experience but getting a casual chain restaurant vibe. The spicy shrimp dish was a letdown compared to other locations.

    Excellent service. Friendly host, helpful server. Only blight was calamari appetizer was greasy and heavily breaded. Steak tender, sides of spinach and masked both excellent. Fruit/cheesecake dessert very good. Value for a nice steakhouse was fair. Would return.

    Wait time was good - seated quickly. The food and drinks weren’t that great. Service was slow. Probably won’t be returning.
