   Blake was amazing! One of the best servers we have ever had at RC! Food was delicious as always. One of our steaks was slightly overcooked but the other 2 were perfect! They hit the mark every time making RC our go to for celebrating!

   We went to Ruth's Chris for our 14th wedding anniversary. They do a fantastic job of celebrating special occasions. Meg was our server and did an amazing job of taking care of us. Very personable and friendly. I had the stuffed double-breasted chicken, and my wife had the 8oz filet. Both came out on plates that were HOT! We also had creamed spinach and au gratin potatoes as sides. Both were amazing! I've never seen a restaurant with so many male servers, so we were lucky to get Meg. We arrived a bit early but were seated quickly. It can get fairly loud when they are busy, but you can still carry on a conversation. Everyone there, from the hostess to the servers, they were all very friendly and made you feel welcome. I highly recommend this restaurant. Be aware the parking can be a bit dicey. They had valet parking, but I really don't like letting other people drive my car.

   This was the busiest I've ever seen this location and learned for the first time that they had private rooms downstairs that could facilitate larger parties. Apparently, the staff was over-extended because there were at least two people ahead of us that were either skipped but on the list for seating or had similar names ("Sam" was waiting but "Samantha" was seated in his place). Steven, our waiter was excellent and we have no issues with him, but I ordered a steak to be cooked "Medium Well" and it came to the table overly well-done with too much char and not nearly enough pink to be Medium Well. We didn't complain or send anything back but just know that busy can mean there will be imperfections and at $120 for a Porterhouse steak, that isn't something you want. This was also the first time visiting a Ruth's Chris where a dessert was not complimentary for a birthday visit. We've been visiting Ruth's Chris in San Diego and Knoxville for a very long time always for my wife's birthday and/or Valentines Day and have always gotten a little treat on that special occasion until this visit. Not huge, but it was a nice touch and when your bill is $400 for four people, the thought that you scored a Creme Brulee on Ruth takes some of the sting out.

   Great food, lovely atmosphere. Only reason the food was a 4 instead of a 5 was they had to bring one of the steaks back into the kitchen as the cook was under what was requested. But they were able to get it fixed swiftly and everything was perfect! Would definitely come back.

   We both enjoyed filets. I got the bone in. The steaks were prepared as ordered and the sides were wonderful. The desert was the cherry on top. Great evening.

   Service was subpar at best- server did not pay attention to our requests - drinks stayed empty (both alcohol and water) were there to celebrate a birthday and took 3 tries to get the check right since he wouldn't listen to our requests - has def gone downhill since my previous visits - very disappointing - don't waste your money - go to Flemings or Connor's
