The steak was delicious, I was here for the Tomahawk, especially with that buttery sauce they use on it. It was cooked to my specifications and that 500 degree plate that comes with it, it was awesome to hear it sizzle. And who knew that lobster Mac and Cheese was the best side dish for a steak? Definitely a go-to. Our server, Leo, was everywhere making sure we were taken care of, I swear there was 3 of them. Amazing service. Beautiful restaurant on the second floor, nice views. Great experience overall.

Did a girls night here for dinner and the staff was very accommodating to our situation. We had a lot more girls than expected but they were able to reset the table to accommodate all 11. The food was amazing! Bread&Butter 10/10. Salad & Ranch 10/10. Steak & Mashed Potatoes 10/10. Margaritas 5/10..Crab cakes 5/10. I personally like the service but a few of the girls did hear a lot of under the breath talk from the waiters.

Emiliano ! Wow thank you for an amazing experience at Ruth Chris . You have made our birthdays so special , we now will be there annually to celebrate our special occasions . Your service was excellent from your warm greetings, wishing us both happy birthday to carefully explaining the history of the restaurant and what makes Ruth Chris so unique. The food was melt in your mouth , fresh and so appetizing , when I eat my entire plate including desert you know it’s delicious as I am a very picky eater. I told my husband the plates when they come to your table or nearby table smell like heaven . I joked and said I should have brought a jar to capture that aroma . We started with stuffed mushrooms with crab so good and fresh . My husband had the Ruth classic with shrimp , mashed garlic potatoes and house salad . I had the lobster tail along with the asparagus. Now if you know the sides are family size well I ate all but 3 asparagus (hubby had the lonely 3). As for desert because of our celebrations we each got a personal cheesecake with berries and since hubbys meal came with desert he was able to upgrade to any desert on the menu . I’ll say my cheesecake was just like the NY style I am used to . He chose the apple crumble which was huge and so delicious . As I said before the food was delicious but overall our service really made the night . Emiliano was attentive , friendly and had great conversations. We felt very special and was a night to remember.

**These are some of the dumber, most ignorant negative reviews I have seen. If you are mad about PPP money, be mad at the government. Haha. So stupid. Ruth’s is the freaking best for a reason!** Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Scottsdale, AZ, delivers an exceptional dining experience that lives up to its world-class reputation. From the moment you walk in, the elegant atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable evening.

His professionalism, friendliness, and attentiveness elevated the experience, ensuring every detail was perfect. He anticipated our needs, provided thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel genuinely valued as guests. Service like this is why Ruth’s Chris remains a favorite for so many. As always, the food was phenomenal. The filet, cooked to a perfect medium rare, was the star of the meal. Ruth’s Chris is known for their buttery, sizzling steaks, and the filet did not disappoint. It was tender, flavorful, and melted in your mouth with every bite. The signature preparation on a 500-degree plate keeps the steak warm throughout the meal and enhances the already incredible flavor. If you’re a steak lover, the filet is a must-try—it’s simply perfection. The sides were equally impressive. Whether it’s the creamy mashed potatoes, the rich lobster mac and cheese, or the perfectly seasoned asparagus, every dish complements the steak beautifully. And, of course, the desserts are worth saving room for—try the classic crème brûlée or bread pudding for a sweet finish to your meal. The staff at Ruth’s Chris in Scottsdale are consistently outstanding. If anything isn’t to your liking, they handle it immediately and with genuine care, ensuring every guest leaves happy. Their commitment to excellence in every aspect of the dining experience keeps me coming back time and again.

From the amazing filets to the impeccable service provided by Amiliano and the entire team, this location continues to set the bar high for fine dining. Highly recommended! If you haven’t been, and it seems to pricey, SAVE YOUR MONEY and go at least once!

Chris the “trainer” took our reservation earlier in the day, we asked for a specific table we like to sit. The camelback room we had requested happen to be closed during the week so we were seated else where. When we arrived he sought us out to see if our table was to our liking and said if we needed anything to let him know. He had paid attention to our previously added notes from past visits and mentioned that the precious requested server had recently moved. We chatted with him a bit and found him charming and fun. We love visiting the Ruth Chris in Scottsdale and enjoy their staff immensely. Edwardo was our server, he was very attentive and checked on us to ensure everything was to our liking. Efren was the bartender, the after dinner Espresso Martinis are highly recommended and delicious!!

The dining room is elegant but beyond that disappointing. When these waiter tells you “I will be taking care of you” 🤢 It sounds pathetic! The entree was on a small appetizer plate and my wife’s entree plate was so hot from the heat lamp it heated up her fork so she couldn't use it. The mashed potatoes tasted like it was out of a packet. Steak was not medium rare…under the damned heat lamp too long?? The wait staff had a problem clearing used plates and twice I had to request they clear the table. Lastly, the Caesar salad looked like it had been in the fridge too long, the salad dressing tasted like to was out of a bottle and they just shaved some cheese on top. NOT a first class restaurant like we expected, more like a Keg dinner at twice the price!

We celebrated our anniversary at Ruth's Chris, and it was fantastic. We were taken very care of from arrival to departure! The table was decorated for the special occasion and even had an anniversary message in the menu. Our server was amazing and made the evening feel very special as well. The 3 course set we chose was the perfect portion, and each item was so delicious. Whether a special occasion or just dinner, we highly recommend this spot!
