    We had rsvp but it wasn’t ready for us even though we got there 5 mins before rsvp. We waited over 20 mins before being seated.

    Dirty martini wasn’t dirty, bread was delicious, Ruth’s Chop salad was good, t-bone steak came out really rare when I order medium rare+, colossal crab on top was not good because the crab meet was hard, not soft, and drenched in garlic butter. Great cheesecake and berries and cream desserts. Service was slow- my iced tea didn’t get refilled a few times unless I sought the waiter out and asked for refills or to remove empty plates.

    Absolutely one of our best visits to Ruth’s. Everything was just perfect. First the gals at the front desk were just so attentive and welcoming. Everything about the food was above and beyond as was the impeccable service from Greg. We are very anxious to do it all again!!! We did miss seeing the wonderful Victoria.
