    New Year's Eve meal ! Yelp 2026 !!!!
    Joseph B.

    Of course Ruth Chris speaks for itself as far as a reputable establishment. With that said, I definitely still want to highlight their service and delicious food options. The stuff chicken always amazes me at how consistently good it is.... And this time, I was extremely impressed with their lobster Mac & cheese !! And shoutout to the bartender who made sure the drinks had a nice kick to it !!! And as always the environment was festive and tastefully decorated!!

    The food was excellent. The staff excellent. The seating excellent. But the prices way too high. Come on people. Make it affordable

    Steak well done

    Went after concert. The hostess was pleasant and informative. We had 2 waiters one was in training we had Carlos & Sam both gentlemen were very attentive and polite. They assisted us with our drinking options. It was after 7pm the restaurant was clean not to pack the lighting was low but you could read the menu. Our food was delicious and seasoned served in a timely manner.

    CLASSIC CHEESECAKE

    The stuffed chicken breast is my all time favorite!!!!!! It's so flavorful and juicy! I always make reservations on OpenTable. The views of the area / airport from this location are so amazing! I loved the Ruth's Classic convo with the steak and lobster.

    My dining experience was just okay. My little group of 3 came in to celebrate 2 birthdays. They were really nice to put out some confetti on our table. Our server was sweet, but they were quite busy. With how busy they were, our server took some time to check in on us, but it was understandable. They have a few large dining rooms with tables and chairs equipped to accommodate different group sizes. The view at night over the city was pretty, but not quite that intriguing for me to come in and eat at the restaurant. For the price range, the food could've been better. We ordered stuffed chicken breast, sizzling crab cakes, au gratin potatoes, lobster mac and cheese and sweet potato casserole. We also ordered blueberry mojitos for drinks. The lobster mac and cheese was meant to be the main for one of us that has food allergies. It came out very soupy and bland rather than creamy and cheesy. The dish was sent back twice, but our friend finally gave up after. They offered to remove it from the bill, which our friend accepted. The sizzling crab cakes were your regular crab cakes. The stuffed chicken breast was actually quite a large portion, and my friend said it was pretty good. The au gratin potatoes and the sweet potato casserole were actually quite delicious. Overall, I think the food was average. I think the experience was okay. For the prices of the dishes, I had higher expectations.

    You're paying for the view...

    I'm solidly on the fence about this place. The Good: The view is fantastic, and the service (at least from Rudy) matched it. Rudy was attentive without being intrusive--checking in regularly, topping off drinks, and asking about dessert. After dinner, on what was clearly a slow night, we let him know we planned to sit and chat for a bit. He flashed a big grin and encouraged us to take our time. That kind of attitude made us feel welcome and unrushed. The manager also checked in, making the rounds with just the right balance of professionalism and personality. He even threw in a quick joke and wished us a happy holiday season, which was a nice touch. The Bad: The food was average--especially for the price. The sides were fine, but the steak (a bone-in ribeye at over $80) was just okay. It wasn't packed with flavor, wasn't cooked to perfection--just... okay. At that price point, it should've been amazing. The hostess stand was a letdown. No one was on the phone or visibly busy, yet we were made to feel like we were an inconvenience. Dismissive and impersonal, their attitude left a bad first--and last--impression. Honestly, it set the wrong tone for the evening. Overall: The view made dinner worth it, and Rudy's service helped salvage the experience. This was a small family gathering--brothers breaking bread--while still feeling the loss of our fourth. That said, between the overpriced food and the lackluster welcome, we're not sure we'd come back. Next time, we may go elsewhere, save a few bucks, and enjoy food that matches the price tag.

    This is hands down my favorite Ruth's Chris--not just for the stunning view, but because the people here truly make the experience special. I didn't have a reservation when I arrived around 8:30 PM, so I was told the next available table would be at 9:15 PM. Instead of waiting, I grabbed a seat at the bar, and I'm so glad I did. My date arrived about 10 minutes later, and we were taken care of right away. Eric, the bartender, made the best Casamigos Reposado margarita it was perfectly balanced and smooth. I ordered the New York Strip (medium well), and my date got the same (medium). We shared the seafood mac & cheese, the sweet potato casserole (which honestly tasted like dessert--it's that good), and the crab cakes appetizer. I forgot to snap a pic of the crab cakes, but they were incredible--crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside. I'm not even usually a steak person, but the steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Every bite was amazing. The sides were rich, comforting, and the perfect complement to the meal. And as a germaphobe, I've got to say--they passed the test! I was able to wash my hands and exit the bathroom without having to touch a single surface. That attention to cleanliness is a major win in my book and just another reason I love this location. Next time, I'll definitely plan ahead to get a table by the window. I can't wait to come back!

    Had a great dinner here. We ordered ribeyes, scallops, potato au gratin and mushrooms. All delicious! Steaks were perfectly cooked. Our server/bartender Jose was nice and helpful.

    Burnt French onion soup with a view
    Eileen C.

    The main thing I enjoyed was the service and view. We came early before 6pm and the main dining room only had 2 other tables when we were seated. Servers were attentive and the manager came to check on us during our meal, he was very friendly and helpful. The food- I was very disappointed that the French onion soup came out burnt- not just mine but the table of 4 nearby all had burnt bowls. The fact the chef thought it was ok to serve that disgusting bowl disappointed me. I love a good soup. I had to inform the manager and I didn't remember until now that I had a pic of said soup Ordered prefix and steak was ordered medium but overdone. Extra side Mac and cheese was more liquid than cheese. I understand some kitchens have to get in their rhythm but this was disappointing considering we were early and it's a steakhouse the quality and prep should be spot on each time even for a franchise. Maybe next time come for happy hour and enjoy the view but dinner itself was ok. Service and manager was great which brings my review to a 3.8

    Dessert
    Travis N.

    Food was good. Got the steak and shrimp prix fixed menu. Steak was a 16oz ribeye. Good seasoning and was able to eat the whole piece. Swapped out their cheesecake dessert with Chocolate Sin cake with a glass of milk. Very good. Manager stopped by and had a few minute chat with me. Nice guy. It did get busy after I came in at 6:30 pm so some things did slow down. Waiter was Issa. Nice guy. Better experience than last year. Hopefully when I am back next year this stays the same.

    Airport view
    Ali M.

    Had a wonderful birthday enjoying their bar menu. Wonderful service- polite, fun, efficient and professional. The petite filet pairing was excellent- cooked perfectly and the cab sav was a great compliment to the dish. I added the blue cheese crust and highly recommend. Pomegranate martini, martini with blue cheese olives, Manhattan, steak sandwiches, saucy shrimp and burger were all delicious. Everything is very clean and the view of the airport makes it interesting. The location in an office building is a bit odd, but you quickly forget where you are.

    Table wasn't cleared for over an hour....they came because we kept asking.
    Kiesha N.

    Horrible service. Waited way to long to even get water. We came in at 5pm no service until 540pm. The restaurant wasn't even busy.....I am disappointed by having our group here for a professional mingle.

    PETITE FILET & SHRIMP*
    Brian S.

    My experience at Ruth Chris wasn't unusual, but it was outstanding. There were other families there celebrating a birthday. The waiter did his best to help mark the occasion. We couldn't get enough of the view of DC at night, watching the planes come and go sitting high above national airport. There is a nice spot for group photos as you enter the restaurant. It was a little unusual coming off the elevator on the 11th floor to an office space but we found it by listening to the music and letting it lead us there. I ordered steak and shrimp with mash potatoes and a desert if cheesecake. Everything was impressive and in good moderation. My tastebuds were happy. If there was one thing they could improve it would be offering sparkling water free like the still water. I don't think they make it clear that it is an additional charge,

Reservations were easy to make, we were seated very quickly, the chairs were comfortable, and the ambiance was beautiful. It is hard to beat a rotating restaurant and the views it offers. The food was excellent. We tried the prix fixe Cherry Blossom special, which included a choice of short ribs or salmon, and both were very good. The specialty drinks for the occasion were excellent, the desserts were very good, and the overall experience was memorable. My only concern was the service. I am not sure whether it was because it was late in the evening, but our waiter seemed very disengaged. For a restaurant that presents itself this well, I would expect the service staff to be much more attentive and invested in the guest experience. We would return, but I would prefer not to be served by him again.

MARGHERITA SLICE - 5.50 The slice was on the smaller side, but I wasn't going to argue since I wasn't too hungry to begin with. But after tax, it was 6.05, which is kind of pricy for just a slice. The margherita slice didn't really look like a margherita slice. It looked more like cheese pizza with a few shriveled pieces of basil and a random slice of tomato, which I have yet to see on any margherita pizza. The flavor was fine, but I also accepted that it's just a cheese slice with a single tomato slice. Maybe I need to try a different pizza if I return in the future. It's just a bit expensive, but that's Water Park for ya!

Theater 1 isn't clearly labeled and you just have to know it's the large main room. The ordering system also takes some getting used to.

In a very dark theater that's not practical, and there's no confirmation that the button was actually pressed. Service was inconsistent. We ordered bottomless popcorn and M&Ms. The M&Ms arrived after about 15 minutes but I had to remind them about the popcorn, which didn't come until nearly 45 minutes into the movie. We skipped ordering real food because we weren't confident it would arrive in time to enjoy during the film. That said, the chairs are comfortable, the staff is friendly, and the pricing is noticeably better than other dine-in theaters in the DMV. It has real potential.

Unfortunately, service started off on the wrong foot. There was a very large party already on the patio, and I was seated behind them. I waited about 12-15 minutes before the rest of my group arrived, but no server ever came by. We decided to head inside to get re‑seated, but couldn't find a hostess anywhere. We eventually flagged down a random server in the bar area and asked if a four‑top could be cleared so we could sit there instead. Thankfully, once we moved inside, everything improved dramatically. Service from that point on was attentive and friendly. The "Peoples Hour" menu was a highlight--great pricing without feeling "cheap." Appetizers were $6-10, cocktails $6-8, wines $6, and beers $6.50. The Down & Dirty (a vodka martini variation without vermouth) was solid, and the Out of the Office...Forever rum punch was decent. For food, we tried several items: - Makers Mini Nachos with steak -- Generous toppings but the chips got soggy quickly under all the queso, sour cream, and guac, which is not necessarily a bad thing. - Taco-bout Fish -- Crispy cod with a lemon aioli; one of the better bites of the night. - Drop It Like It's Hot -- Really good chicken tenders with a spicy Comeback sauce. - Lil B sliders -- Nicely cooked and not overdone; the Comeback sauce added a nice kick. The space has an upscale sports‑bar vibe with TVs above and around the bar. Seating can feel tight when it's busy, and the noise level definitely climbs, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a quieter meal. Despite the rocky start, the rest of the evening was enjoyable. Good food, great happy hour pricing, and solid service once we were settled inside. I'd return--just probably not to the patio during a big party.
