Amazing is an understatement! First, our serve Joey made our entire night. He was the funniest and most personable waiter we have ever had. It was my husband’s birthday and they truly went out of their way to make him feel special. From the table decor to all of the staff stopping by to tell him best wishes. Joey’s service was excellent and we will always request him moving forward! Second, the food was great. All came out so quickly and made perfectly. 5-stars all the way!!

Ken was amazing . His attention to detail and his explanation on the menu and what to expect. Our experience was wonderful for our first time, we had multiple mangers come up to our booth and say happy anniversary it felt nice. We had a complementary dessert with “happy 5 year anniversary “ written on the plate. This was definitely worth every penny. Ken we will be back.

Never disappointed when we have dinner at Ruth’s Chris. Started with a delicious Pomegranate Martini then indulged in a few appetizers; calamari, bbq shrimp, goat cheese artichoke dip, all very yummy. For dinner we enjoyed perfectly cooked filet mignon, crab cakes, and sea bass, with asparagus, garlic mashed potatoes, and of course the sweet potato casserole. Our server, Ken, was terrific! Already looking forward to our return.

My husband took me to dinner to celebrate completing my doctorate degree. Our server Danielle made the evening all the more special. She made excellent recommendations on food choices (we had the blue cheese wedge salad, sweet potato casserole, and cowboy ribeye) and helped customize our drinks (highly recommend the blueberry mojito, a little extra sweet). Not only was Danielle attentive and personable, but she acknowledged the celebration with a sweet gesture of surprise dessert. We would return just to sit in her section and enjoy her fine quality service!

I enjoyed my visit with Family. The waitress was amazing. I can't recall her name at the moment, but she was. The staff doesn't do a lot of smiling, but they are polite. The food was delicious. My partner and I both ordered the ribeye, which mine tasted burned yet still good, but my Partners was delicious as it held so much flavor that mine lacked. Both were cooked medium well and it was perfect. My sister and neice ordered the stuffed chicken, which was also very good. And my Nephew ordered the lamb chops, and he said they were very good. The mashed potatoes are amazing, and lobster mac was ok. If you like lobster, then it's ok, I didn't like the taste of the lobster in ours. The Mac n cheese was pretty good, tho. Can't wait to go back. The portions are large, so the sides were shared around the table.
