    Steak and Shrimp. Steak
    John K.

    I've eaten at many steakhouses across the country and this is my first time at a Ruth Chris Steakhouse. we were passing through and did not have a reservation, but was quickly greeted by staff and seated. Our server was Santiago, what a great young man. Very good at what he does. Accommodating, prompt, polite, made our anniversary wonderful, what else can you ask for. If there were more stars that could be given he would get double. Anyway, I ordered the fillet and shrimp and it was absolutely scrumptious. I consider myself a crème brûlée expert. And I'm not kidding you. This is it. If you just stop by to have the crème brûlée as a dessert, you would be blissfully delighted. kudos to the whole staff for a job. Well done! The decor was on point, wine wall and a wonderful mirror of the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari. SEE PHOTOS

    I decided to try Ruth Chris for my birthday. It had been many years since I have been to Ruth Chris and forgot what the experience was like to be honest. So I decided to give it another shot to see if we can add it to our regular weekend routine. First of all they set up such a beautiful birthday setup on the table and they sang happy birthday for me which was really nice! I had the ribeye steak which, for a non wagyu steak was pretty good! It had flavor, was tender and some parts of it had a melt in your mouth experience. Compared to other non wagyu steaks I give this a 10/10. The cheesecake I had... oh my god!!! This was a free dessert for my birthday but it was I kid you not, maybe the best cheesecake I've had my entire life! The Mac and cheese came cold the first time around, the lobster was also a little raw in the middle, they sent it back and had it re made. What they ended up bringing back was a lobster Mac and cheese! I ended up getting more lobster back than what I sent back and the new dish was nice and hot. The Brussels sprouts were not too hot either and didn't have that least crunch I was hoping for but they were still pretty good, especially when I reheated them later at home. I just didn't wanna constantly complain so I didn't mention that. I raved about the cheesecake to the manager and him being such a nice guy brought us two free ones at the end. What a kind gesture! I was so excited it really made my day! Again, the kitchen messed something up because when we opened it up, it was a different cheesecake, this new one was chocolate , of which I'm not a big fan . The wait staff service was excellent, the manager was awesome, so was our server. The kitchen staff definitely had a few kinks they needed to work out. The ambiance was really classy, like a big city fancy restaurant should look, and the service was on par with what you would expect in q big city too. All in all I would go back and try it again.

    Pomegranate martini

    So I know I posted in my last review, that I probably wouldn't be back to this restaurant but here we are again (lol) and I'm so glad we did. We went on a Friday night, and the place was packed. Our server was super friendly and personable. My husband and I decided to share everything. We started with drinks -- an old-fashioned and a pomegranate cocktail. Both were delicious, and my husband said it was the best old-fashioned he's ever had! For dinner, I ordered the house steak salad without onions and with the dressing on the side. Unfortunately, it came with both, and the balsamic vinaigrette was really thick and heavy. There was so much dressing that I couldn't really enjoy the salad, so I skipped it. I did not tell the server because she was really busy and I didn't want to make a big deal of it. We also ordered the T-bone steak (medium) and garlic mashed potatoes. The steak was perfectly cooked and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth amazing. The mashed potatoes were good too. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back for another great steak!

    Vesper Martini
    Joe P.

    Came with mí familia to celebrate a birthday. Nice touch when we sat down the Maitre Di sprinkled birthday glitter on the table and placed a Happy Birthday card. Had a Vesper Martini while others enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc wine. Calamari was the appetizer of choice and it was delicious. Some had the House Salad and the Lobster Bisque, both excellent choices. Two went with the Ruth's Classic Filet and Lobster Tail, creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes. One went with a Lobster Tail and Oscar Medley consisting of a Crab Cake with Bernaise sauce over asparagus. I went with the 11 ounce Filet and Scalloped Potatoes. Bam all our dishes were cooked as requested and were excellent. We closed out with the Cheesecake desserts and they too finished the meal well. Albuquerque has another great restaurant serving up top quality food. Bravo Ruth's Bravo

    Lobster that was added to steak

    So this was my first time here and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised at how good it was. We are traveling so hot there right as it opened at 4 on the day after Christmas. They were booked but we sat at the bar. Lucky for us it was happy house. The martinis were great. We had impeccable service and it was nice and quiet since I think we missed the dinner rush. The prices are what you expect from a steak house but it really was great.

    Crab stuffed mushrooms and seared ahi

    We came to a seminar here and the food and service were fabulous. We were led upstairs to the banquet room and were given choices of sodas or tea (which were included). Appetizers (ahi tuna and crab stuffed mushrooms) were served family style, as well as the sides of broccoli and the garlic mashed potatoes. I got the filet and shrimp medium well. The plate was hot and buttery and the steak was the perfect flavor and easy to cut. Dessert was the chocolate sin cake, which was more like a mousse. For a weekday night, it wasn't terribly crowded. Perfect for special occasions. 2024 #16

    This was our 1st visit to this particular Ruth's Chris location, but I'm pleased to report that the quality of their food and service is consistent with my previous experience with these restaurants - this location did NOT disappoint! For our entrees, we opted for the stuffed chicken and the bone-in ribeye. The steak was beautifully marbled, seasoned to perfection, and prepared medium-rare (exactly as requested). The chicken was wonderfully flavorful - like a little bit of Heaven in my mouth :-) Even though the were obviously training new staff that evening, service was totally on-point. Our glasses never even approached empty, and the pacing of the meal was exactly what it should have been. To sum it up, the food was delicious, the service was wonderful, and the ambiance was a great combination of welcoming and fancy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience, and I look forward to returning!

    GARLIC MASHED

    A very good experience!!! We visited on a Thursday evening and were given a really nice corner booth. We called for a reservation 30 minutes before we wanted to arrive and they had a seat available in perfect time. The food was on point - very good and exactly as expected. My eating companion and I enjoyed: complementary bread, rose wine, stuffed chicken, ribeye, mashed potatoes, and mushrooms. For dessert we took the bread pudding to go. Ruth's Chris is pricey but totally worth it!!!

    Thanksgiving meal
    Heidi A.

    We came here for thanksgiving because it's just the two of us and we weren't going to go see family this time. The food was very good. The wait was long for the main meal, but the server kept us updated so we weren't upset. I enjoyed the generous amount of lobster tail and the filet was a perfect size since I ordered the course meal. Very high-end, sophisticated interior. Celebratory occasional meal it is. :) They also sent us home with two to go box worth of thanksgiving meal, on top of what we ate. We might do this again for thanksgiving if we decided not to cook.

    See all

    Is there a dress code?

    A very loose one. Supposably no gym wear, swimwear, tanks, offensive signage. Last time we were there, there were people in sweats.

    Can I buy a gift card for Ruth's Chris?

    I think so

    My friend and I only drink water, don't care for very expensive steaks, and are satisfied with a simple salad and a few shrimp. Would $50 or so be enough to cover the majority of our meal?

    I would say no. The cheapest steak is about 40 something dollars. Sides/salad are not included since they are sold a la carte. Salads run about $10 and to add shrimp about $15/6 shrimp. The "Ruth Classics" are generally a better option. The cheaper… Read more

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a really cool art-gallery vibe throughout the space. It's the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time sipping wine and browsing the local artwork. The wine selection was impressive--lots of unique New Mexico wines to choose from, and the tasting flights are a great way to try several different varieties. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, offering recommendations based on what we liked and explaining the wines without making it feel intimidating. We also tried a cheese board which paired perfectly with the wine and made the whole experience feel a little extra special. Whether you're a serious wine enthusiast or just looking for a fun stop while exploring Old Town, this place is definitely worth checking out. Great wine, great vibe, and great service. I'll absolutely be back next time I'm in the area.

    Review for D.H. Lescombes Winery & Bistro…read more We came here to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary and overall had a great experience. We were seated immediately and the service was phenomenal from start to finish. We started with the meatball appetizer with pesto sauce. While it tasted good, the meatballs seemed like frozen/pre-made rather than scratch-made, which was a little disappointing considering the price point. That said, we were brought bread and butter beforehand which was a nice touch. For entrées, my husband ordered the New Mexico pasta and he enjoyed it. I ordered the ribeye with a loaded baked potato and a salad with bleu cheese vinaigrette. My steak was initially overcooked, but they handled it perfectly -- they boxed up the original steak to take home AND cooked me a brand new one to medium rare (absolute perfection). That level of service really stood out. The wine tasting was phenomenal -- we tried a sweet rosé that was absolutely delicious (I wish I remembered the name!). We also ordered dessert and tried the chocolate torte, which was just okay -- not bad, but nothing memorable. Our server went above and beyond, checking on us frequently and even discounting our ticket for our anniversary, which made the night feel extra special. The ambiance inside was quiet, romantic, and business-casual, with beautiful warm décor. The restaurant was very clean and well kept. We would definitely return and recommend this spot for date nights, anniversaries, and wine lovers. Great service, solid food, and an inviting atmosphere.

We had a reservation for 11:30am and arrived on time, but ended up waiting outside for about 10 minutes with no staff in sight. We called multiple times for assistance before anyone came out. To make matters worse, the friend who made the reservation was never informed that brunch is held in the private club and not the e restaurant, which caused unnecessary confusion right from the start. Once a waiter finally found us, we were taken to the private club where we were told they only had three brunch menu items available that day. We ordered immediately, along with waters and mimosas. Keep in mind, there were only two tables total--our group of three and another group of seven--so it wasn't busy. Despite that, service was extremely slow. It took 20 minutes just to get our mimosas, and our waters were forgotten and didn't come out until another 10 minutes later. Our food took about 40 minutes, which felt excessive given how few people were there. Even more frustrating, my friends' meals came out about 10 minutes before mine. There's really no reason meals at the same table shouldn't be served together. The food itself was just okay. The only standout was the French toast, which was actually really good--and honestly the only reason this review isn't one star. I also ordered coffee and was told they don't carry creamer, which is surprising for a place offering brunch. Our waitress rarely checked on us throughout the meal, which added to the overall lack of service. Between the confusion, long wait times, and lack of attention, this experience didn't meet expectations. I won't be returning.

Our reservation was on time and people were quite attentive, assuring us it would be (we got there early). The ambiance was relaxed and quiet, but it got noisier as the night crowd joined. Service was attentive and also slow at times. I am unsure if the slow service was as we were enjoying our company or if this is the norm. As friendly as the service was, there were some significant mistakes. One order was not put with the others, delaying the dish even more. Having a party of six, I would expect the server to ask how to split the check before giving it. That delayed things even more at the end. To correct this mistake, he offered a drink on the house. And the last one, they charged me for drinks we didn't drink. We found this after we left. In terms of drinks, they were fantastic and long-named! My bartender's choice was absolutely in point. Even though the dishes came late, we were excited when they arrived. Visually, they were pretty. I can only describe our dishes and not that of our friends, as we didn't try them. For appetizers, we got the crudo. This was quite refreshing and bright ahi tuna with lots of citrus helped by pieces of creamy avocado. The hubs got the steak frites.

The vegetables and balsamic sauce were the heroes, while the duck breast was small and a third was just fat.
