The steaks were perfectly cooked and deliciously juicy. We each got our own hot plates with butter on it to place our cut steaks. The sides of creamy spinach and mashed potatoes paired perfectly with the meats. Their cocktails are also delicious. Service was amazing! David took really good care of us and was so kind. The desserts were also amazing! I would greatly recommend this place!

Came here for my dad's birthday, the service was amazing and they were very accommodating. The food all melted in my mouth and I'd definitely go back for the food, I loved the spinach and artichoke dip especially. Great first impression. I think my one note was we ordered a glass of wine and got the whole bottle but we just rolled with it, more wine doesn't hurt anything...except the wallet.

LOBSTER MAC & CHEESE

Excellent Food and Customer Service! What can I say! Our recent experience with Ruth's Chris at this location was an 11/10! We booked a private room for our son's 16th birthday a few months ago and the special day was Friday. Scott, the assistant general manager, was more than accommodating and very pleasant to work with from the time we arrived early to setup decorations til dinner time. He personally appeared twice to make sure things were ok. Our servers, Mason and (can't remember her name, but she was African American) were on top of it. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we will be back for sure. Oh, and of course, the food was on par per usual and most guests ordered their $55 special which really cut down on a bill for 14 people!

Lemon drop & old fashioned

This review is for their happy hour at the bar. Small menu offered for happy hour but I think they were curated nicely. We ordered the cheeseburger, steak burger, old fashioned drink and lemon drop drink. All items from the happy hour menu. The cheeseburger came with hand cut fries and was the highlight for me. The beef patty was cooked to perfection. The steak sandwich also came with hand cut fries. The added touch of garlic bread for the bun was very good as well. Drinks were strong and had great flavor. Service was friendly and fast. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. Love Ruth Chris for happy hour and can't wait to come back!

Let me preface that I really wanted to like Ruth's Chris. Nothing excites me more than trying a restaurant for the first time, so I've decided to dine in for happy hour on a Tuesday before watching a film at Fairfax Corner. It was exciting to try something new since I've eaten everywhere else in Fairfax Corner and have yet to visit Ruth's Chris until tonight. We started with hand-crafted cocktails and a seared ahi-tuna appetizer to share along with Ruth's cheeseburger (sub fries for salad) and steak sandwich (sub fries for zucchini fries). The seared ahi-tuna was good along with a side of pickled vegetables, however, the main entrees took about an hour to come out. Unfortunately, as soon as the entrees arrived, we only had time to take a few bites of our meal and had to put the rest in a to-go box. Again, I really wanted to go to Ruth's Chris and entertained the idea that maybe I could start becoming a "regular" since it's close to work. Would I go out of my way to go there? No, and in fact, my dinner guest suggested that we could eat a quick dinner at Chipotle before I suggested Ruth's Chris. My weakness is excellent food at upscale/classy restaurants (paired with great service) and I had the impression that Ruth's Chris Steak House fit the mold. I'm disappointed with tonight's service since I had high expectations since I believed that the quality of Ruth's Chris brand was stellar though regrettably, we should have went to Chipotle instead.

Celebrating my birthday, my wife, daughter, and I reserved a table on a quiet Monday evening. The staff thoughtfully decorated our table with birthday confetti and a signed card. Our server greeted us and explained the menu and their 500°F plates. We ordered a 2015 Rioja off their extensive wine list. A little north of $100 a bottle, it was pretty good and held up well with our steaks. We started with the seared ahi tuna appetizers. My wife didn't like the mustard sauce, but I found it enjoyable. The portion was generous, and I liked the cucumber garnish that accompanied it. My daughter and I went big and ordered the 40oz tomahawk steak to share. This huge steak comes with a Fred Flintstone-sized bone sticking out about a foot in length. The on-duty manager comes by, explains the different areas of the steak, and cuts it up for you. My wife went with a petite filet and lobster tail. The meat from the tail is removed and placed on the shell for easy eating. For sides, we got creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. Our medium rare steaks came out much too rare for our liking, and we had them sent back to be "brought up." The staff were very pleasant about this and had them back to us in five minutes cooked as we liked. We could only finish half of the tomahawk and took half home, along with the bone for our neighbor's dog. We couldn't even finish the yummy sides and took them home. Service was attentive and fine but not memorable. It can be hit or miss with servers, and this was a bit of a miss. It didn't put a damper on our evening, and we still enjoyed our meal.

SPICY SHRIMP
J H.

Well, I made reservations to celebrate a promotion which I documented on my reservation. We arrived a little early, 4:45 for a 5:00 reservation, on a Thursday to find only one other table seated. We were seated quickly to our choice of table. I was sad to NOT see the little celebratory card and well wishes on the table for the promotion as other reserved tables had for other events, but, it's okay. Our server, Bahdi, was great and attentive, almost too attentive. The Flower Pino Noir wine was his recommendation and it was on point. The pomegranate martini?? Very nice!!! Bartender was killing it! The bread? Delicious!!! Soft inside with a very pleasant, crispy crust. The spicy shrimp appetizer was truly appreciated, well cooked with nice sized shrimp, served with a fresh vegetable garnish, with a fresh marinade. The sides are built for two. The salad was fresh, crisp, and tasty. The sweet potato casserole was very good with a crunchy topping and the brussell sprouts were seasoned well and cooked crispy. The Filets!!!! One medium well with a nice pink color, tender, seasoned....Noice!!!! The other butterflied and cooked well done!! Not scorched!! Did I say well done and not scorched about a steak?!?! Yes, yes I did!! Thank you!! The service was great! The food was great! The bill was great! But somehow, I didn't mind paying for it as we were served a superb meal! The restrooms were immaculate by the way! The chocolate sin cake was taken to go and not enjoyed until the next day... Decadent... Yes, save your pennies and treat yourself to FINE dining here at Ruth's Christ. (I have a few picks but again, I got so excited for my steak, there's a bite missing from the pic!!)

steak house salad & part of loaf of bread

We decided to come to this Ruth's Chris to celebrate our anniversary. When we made our reservation we let them know in the "special request" section that it was our anniversary. We arrived 15 minutes early and the staff at the host station were able to seat us immediately. As we walked in the dining room, it looked like we were going to be seated in an area where few tables were occupied. My first thought, as we were heading there was "Oh great. They'll seat us then forget about us." Well...I couldn't have been more wrong. We were lead to a booth that had a card that said "happy anniversary" that was signed by the staff. Plus there were rose petals on the table as well as some confetti in the form of hearts, lips and pieces that said "happy anniversary". Not only was I surprised but I was truly touched. We've never had a restaurant do that in the past when it was our anniversary. Our server was prompt getting to us and wishing us "happy anniversary". Service from start to finish was impeccable. We started with drinks. I had a blueberry mojito---and it was awesome with great blueberry flavor enhanced by the muddled ones in the glass. My husband had a glass of Malbec which he said was of good quality. For the first course, I had lobster bisque. Sadly, it was a disappointment. It was very thin with not much lobster in it plus it was bitter. There wasn't even a hint of sherry. Having had this in the past at other Ruth's Chris, I knew it should have been better. Ironically, they usually are heavy handed with the sherry. My husband had a "steak salad" which he enjoyed and it was attractively presented. Our server let us know of some items that weren't on the menu but were available that night. We ordered one of the items as a side dish, "hash brown" potatoes. While, for the most part, save a very small section that got overdone, we mostly liked it even though it lacked any salt. I put my portion on my dinner plate and used the steak juice to give seasoning to the potatoes. The second side we had was grilled asparagus with Hollandaise sauce. The Hollandaise, although thicker than average, was well prepared---same for the asparagus. We both got the "petit filet", which was 8 oz., for our main course. Both of us ordered it medium rare. Although each steak had some sections that were more rare, we didn't mind. It was an excellent cut of meat that was tender and flavorful. Due to it being our anniversary, dessert was on the house which amounted to one dessert item of our choice. We chose creme brulee which was perfectly done. Underneath the caramelized crust was a thick and creamy custard flavored with vanilla. It went so well with the pieces of fresh fruit that accompanied it. My husband had an espresso that he really enjoyed. I would say the service alone was 5 star worthy. If the lobster bisque and the hash browns were prepared better, I would have given them 5 stars. And, yes we would come back here again for future celebration.

STEAK HOUSE SALAD

The service at this location is absolutely stunning. The steaks are basic and there is nothing wrong with that. The right amount of salt and pepper, with generous amounts of butter, and cooked medium rare with the red center, makes the best steak. I've been here several times for private events. Service and food was on point each time. This time my friend ordered her filet medium rare. We were at a private event and sadly, the filet arrived well done. They took it back with no problems, as they should, but also gave her another lobster tail on the house. The steak arrived on a sizzling hot plate, as it should be, and it tasted just amazing. Steaks done right. Exceptional service. This place is a gem in Fairfax.

A couple we've befriended told us they lived in Fairfax for several years. They are big fans of Dolce Vita. We were told that a reservation is necessary as the place is popular. We decided to finally try Dolce Vita this past Saturday and reserved a table for an early dinner. When we got there, the place was practically empty. We were seated at a four-top table and were told that they had hosted a large party earlier in the day. They were still rearranging the dining room when we arrived. The staff was friendly and efficient. During our meal, the manager checked on us more than once. Alas, there is no sign in the dining room indicating where the restrooms are, so we asked the server for their location. Sadly, we weren't impressed with the food. We started with a bruschetta appetizer and also ordered some garlic bread. When the bruschetta arrived, it was very attractively presented. It consists of: "roasted garlic, tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella". The bread was tough and chewy, with little garlic flavor. We've had bruschetta before, and it was made with fresh tomatoes. I picked up a piece, bit into it, only to have half of the toppings fall on the table. The fresh mozzarella was basically 4 thin, small slices that one adds to their serving rather than a sizable ball of mozzarella. There was also a small pile of microgreens that were meant to be added to the bruschetta, an unusual addition. I ended up cutting up the bread, which wasn't easy. Nothing like having to fight with one's food. For my main course, I chose "chicken piccata," which consists of "pan-seared chicken and broccolini in a lemon, caper, and white wine sauce". The chicken breast was well prepared, moist, and tender. The sauce was fine, although I wished it had more capers. As for the broccolini, it was barely cooked at all, not even tender crisp. Again, I had to fight with a menu item. My husband chose to have "baked ziti bolognese al forno" which consists of "ricotta, tomato sauce, beef bolognese and mozzarella." He found part of a bay leaf in the dish. The dish was very cheese-forward, and the cow had walked through it, leaving very little of itself behind. In conclusion, we don't plan to return as it was rather disappointing.

Server Kelly M. took our order for a Caesar Salad, Margarita Pizza and a glass of red wine (light meal). A different person delivered the salad and pizza to us, and the food was good. However, we never saw Kelly from the time she took our order until we finished eating. She then showed up with an empty wine glass, said the wine order did not get put in, and asked if I still wanted it. I said "no" since we were done with our meal. At that time, I requested the Cheesecake w/cherries for my complimentary dessert, a small box for pizza, and the check. More than 20 minutes later, Kelly brought a box and the check, but no dessert. She then asked if I "had decided" on a dessert. I repeated that I would like Cheesecake with cherries. After nearly 30 minutes there was no sign of our waitress and no dessert. We were not happy at this point, left cash payment on the table, and walked out. We have eaten at Reston 60 Vines multiple times. No complaints about previous visits; food and service were very good. However, due to the long waits, inattention, and mistakes by our server on this visit, we were very disappointed. We felt management should be aware of this so they can correct the problem. I'm sure you expect better from your employees. We will have to think twice about dining on your patio this summer. Linda
