Special note: they are strict about their business casual dress code. One of us was wearing a cap (bad hair day) and they specifically asked him to take off his hat when seating us. Good/Great: The night started with the host sprinkling birthday decor on our table, which was such a cute addition to our birthday celebration. Then an introduction to the restaurant by our server, Devon. He explained to us the history of the restaurant and of the original proprietor. Devon continued to provide us a lot of information regarding wine, meal ingredients, meal preparation, etc. He was so friendly and pleasant. Whoever planned the seating was smart because Devon had plenty of time to speak with us and socialize and make us feel so welcomed. He also had wonderful suggestions and honestly everything he suggested was perfect. He suggested getting the steaks “Texas” style which is with a rich sauce. He also recommended the potatoes au gratin which I could’ve had as a meal all by itself. The sweet potato casserole with ice cream isn’t technically a dessert option but he recommended it as his favorite “dessert.” Bad but honestly not that bad: the jumbo lump crab cake could’ve tasted better. It wasn’t bad but the flavor wasn’t as complex as the other foods. The portioning of the crab in the cakes though was amazing. The creamed spinach was meh. I think we took one bite of it and left it alone. Overall an incredible birthday experience. Special shout out to Devon. I highly recommend asking for him.

Dined here around 4:30 on 2/15 and the service and food was awesome. Our server brought us a ipad with pictures and full ingredient list of the menu items. I had the Garlic Crusted Sea Bass and the Spicy Shrimp as an appetizer. Bother were delicious and I would order again. Overall a great experience and will definitely return in the future.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ruth Christ, and I must say, the highlight of my experience was the exceptional service provided by Jordan. From the moment we were seated, Jordan made us feel genuinely welcome with a warm smile and friendly demeanor. Jordan’s attention to detail was impeccable. They were knowledgeable about the menu, offering insightful recommendations tailored to our tastes. Not only did they check in at the perfect moments—never intrusive but always attentive—but they also ensured our drinks were always refilled and our meals arrived promptly. What truly set Jordan apart was their ability to make the dining experience feel personal. They remembered small details from our conversation, making us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. Their professionalism, efficiency, and positive attitude made the entire evening even more enjoyable. If you’re dining at Ruth Christ, I highly recommend requesting Jordan as your server. They turn a good meal into an unforgettable experience. Jordan is a true asset to the team, and I will definitely be returning, thanks to their outstanding service!

I don’t know why I’ve never eaten here before, but this was the day! My lovely wife brought me here for my birthday. Alysea was absolutely the best server! Her attentiveness, genuinely friendliness and information knowledge made this dining experience wonderful. Her food descriptions definitely sold me on the cowboy ribeye, and it was delicious. The sweet potato casserole was just amazing. And thank you for that amazing chocolate mousse cheesecake!

My husband and I went this past Saturday for our anniversary. We had the pleasure of having Alysea as our server and she was absolutely amazing! Neither of us had ever been to this steak house so she made recommendations and we had no disappointments! Everything was so delicious and she was so patient with us and checked on us throughout making sure we liked everything. She also took the time to write "Happy anniversary" on our dessert which was so thoughtful! We will definitely be back! P.S. If anyone is doubting if they should get the Oscar as a topping on their steak, do it! My husband got it and I wish I did the same
