GARLIC MASHED POTATOES
Earl A.

I visited last night with another couple for dinner. It is located in the Galleria area and they offer valet parking for $5 which is better than msot valet options in Houston. I read on previous reviews that there is free parking toward the back or next door but with the weather in the 30's by the tme we left that wasnt an option for us. We had a reservation for 7:30 pm and we arrived @ 7:15 pm. We checked in and waited and waited, finally after 35 minutes we were seated. Now granted the restaurant was busy but if we arrived 35 minutes after our reservation time, I'm sure there would have been a problem for us but.... that was the only negative. We both placed orders for a variety of menu items. First they brought out bread with butter which was excellent and we ordered several more times. My wife and I both had the Steak salad, the 6 oz. Filet & Shrimp and she had creamed spinach and I garlic mashed potatoes and we both had the cheesecake for dessert. Our guest both had the Caesar salad, Salmon & shrimp, creamed spinach and cheesecake for dessert. The food was excellent for us and our guest. Stefan was our waiter and he did a very good job. We all left full and with to go bags. This was a special until 2/8 for $60 per person. If you are interested to go, please get reservations, I think it would be extremely difficult to walk in.

Really solid steak house! Went with a couple of friends to Ruth's Chris Steak House in Houston and was not disappointed. The restaurant itself is very spacious, we were seated almost immediately, which as nice. I ordered the mashed potatoes and a medium-rare steak w/ truffle. The mashed potatoes weren't as flavorful as I hoped for, but the steak was perfect. It was juicy and tender, while the truffle offered an amazing earthy, salty, savory profile. Our waiter was really knowledgable about the menu and kept our waters full.

New Dress Code Enforced
April B.

We recently dined at Ruth's Chris and had a solid overall experience. The atmosphere is very mature and upscale, and they do enforce a dress code, which adds to the elevated dining feel. Our server, Jalen, was excellent--pleasant, attentive, and very on point throughout the meal. His service definitely stood out and made the experience smoother. We ordered the 3 for $60 meal, which was a good value. The salad and steak were both well-prepared and flavorful, and the brussels sprouts were also a highlight, definitely worth trying. Valet parking was convenient at $5, which was reasonable for the location. Overall, while the food and service were good, it didn't quite reach a full 5-star experience for us but still a nice spot for a more refined night out.

The service was amazing and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the sweet potato casserole!!

3 for 60: Caesar Salad
Leah W.

This was my first visit to Ruth's Chris and I had an okay experience. I came on a Saturday and my first mistake was not making a reservation prior to. I arrived at around 6 pm and was told by the host that there wouldn't be any tables till around 9 pm so I decided to sit at the bar. As a solo diner I never like to opt for the bar because of the social scene and towards the end of the night people were standing around me for drinks and it was starting to be overcrowded. I can say I had a great bartender who took care of me throughout the night. As for the food, I ordered the 3 for 60 and I got a caesar salad, salmon and shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes and a chocolate cheesecake. The caesar salad was perfect. Fresh, crispy lettuce, perfect amount of dressing and lots of cheese. I wish I had some more of those delicious croutons on the salad. It was a generous portion of salad although the picture isn't doing it justice. As for the salmon and shrimp it was just okay. I wasn't asked how I wanted my salmon cooked and they cooked it well done. It wasn't extremely dry or anything, I just would've preferred medium well and for the salmon to be seasoned a little more. The shrimp were cooked nice and seasoned. What amplified the meal was the New Orleans barbecue butter. It gave the salmon and spinach a great flavor once poured on top. The garlic mashed potatoes were good, not great. They just tasted like your average mashed potatoes with butter. I honestly couldn't taste any garlic in them. As for the chocolate cheesecake, I took mine home and it was good. Overall, i'm not super impressed with Ruth's Chris but if I do dine again i'd try their famous stuffed chicken! Also for parking, I used the valet service at the front and it's only $5 cash!

We came to celebrate a birthday party and had 7 people in our party. We came to Ruth's for a great dining experience and great food. For a Friday evening there wasn't much in guest in the restaurant. Upon sitting down we ordered drinks for the table. One of our guest got her drink, after some time has passed, we did not get our drinks about 35minutes after. Food was great and sides were portioned very nicely. Service was not great, sides were missing and we had to ask for multiple things that we had ordered. It felt like the waiter was waiting to get cut out and we were his last table.... Definitely didn't mind paying the hearty bill but service and food go hand and hand.

MAC & CHEESE
Ediri N.

I finally had a chance to check out Ruth Chris which I had heard so much about about. I came here for a dinner on a Friday night. I used valet for parking (I don't think they had any other parking option) and it was only $5. We had a reservation and waited less than 5 minutes for them to get the table ready. This was for my wife's birthday so it was nice they gave us a prime window view and placed birthday decor on the table. It didn't seem too busy when we arrived, but many more people came after us. It took a slight bit of time before our waiter attended to us, but it was nothing to get upset about. To start we had their bread (complimentary) and spicy shrimp. I was impressed the bread was soft and also free (I'm used to harder bread that's not free at other fine dining places) so that was a plus. The shrimp was great, maybe the best item we ate all night. Before my entree I had a side caesar salad which was decent. For drinks, I went with a blackberry sidecar and that was really good! I'll also note their water tastes refreshing and filtered so no need to get sparkling. For my entree I went with the 11 ounce filet medium well and they cooked it to perfection! Alongside the filet was Mac and cheese (without lobster) which was great as well and then creamed spinach which was easily the most disappointing item of the night. Their creamed spinach is one of their "highlighted" items on their menu and I have read reviews that it was good, but it just wasn't tasty at all and maybe even a little bitter. I was really looking forward to it so I definitely have to knock some points off due to that. However, all in all, this was a very pleasant experience. They even offered a free bread pudding for my wife for her birthday. Prices are what you'd expect for a fine dining steakhouse, but not anything absurd. Not my number one steakhouse in Houston, but I wouldn't mind going back.

I ate here one evening while traveling for work. I was in a mood for steak so why not have it on a plate with boiling butter? I arrived to a mostly empty restaurant without a reservation and was promptly seated. I was greeted by Gabby who was also the bartender. I was served some bread and whipped butter while reviewing the menu. I decided on the prime ribeye with the bleu cheese topping with a lobster tail, au gratin potatoes and creamed spinach. I could hear the food coming with that boiling butter. The presentation looked great. The lobster tail was great, the au gratin potatoes and creamed spinach were OK and the steak was a disappointment. That ribeye was the toughest that I had eaten in a few years. It is supposed to be prime steak so I'm not sure why is was so tough to cut through and chew. It had the right shape but was tough like a sirloin. I also had the bread pudding for dessert which I forgot to take a photo of. The location was good, the service provided by Gabby was great, polite staff, good food presentation but that steak was subpar and didn't complain about it. I ended up getting sick the next day for reasons unknown. Three stars!

Tania M.

What a great dining experience. Maurice served great smiles and food suggestions! The ambiance was so calm and welcoming. After a crazy Thursday at work it was very much appreciated. And for me a steak lover that can no longer eat beef... the stars were the lamb chops that were cooked to perfection! Didn't miss the steak at all! The drinks were so refreshing. I am looking forward to many visits to come!

Steak, lobster, chicken breast, garlic mashed potatoes, baked potato, pomegranate martini, beer
Manuel O.

Our server, Omid, was terrific. He explained the featured items of the evening and was very knowledgeable of the ingredients/ form of cooking of all the items we showed interest in. I usually have a steak, but this evening I decided to try the chicken breast. BEST CHICKEN I HAVE HAD IN YEARS! My wife was very happy with the filet and lobster tails. OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE OVERALL! We will be back soon...

SEARED AHI TUNA
Helene S.

Great service and menu for a meeting. Have been here several times for meetings. Love that you walk through a maze of hallways to get to a fairly secluded private dining space. The room is perfect and quiet with a large screen TV. No microphone, but still easy to hear a speaker clearly. Dinners have been consistently delicious. The seared ahi tuna with ginger, cucumbers, peppers and red oinions served family style is the perfect starter. The tuna is so good. The Parmesan croutons on the steakhouse salad are a bit addictive. The king salmon fillet served on sautéed spinach is predictably tasty. Served with sides of mashed potatoes and broccoli, it is a great choice for a meeting. My colleagues enjoyed their surf and turf. A 11 ounce fillet with a lobster tail. No one left this meal hungry. The entire meeting took their chocolate sin cake to go! Parking is available by valet for $5 or in a nearby lot. Location near the Galleria is very convenient. Love the Blue Dog paintings by George Rodrigue from New Orleans. The Big Texan Sky Blue Dog is so cute! Look for specials for Mother's Day and Father's Day. A great place for a meeting or a special family dinner.

Dining area

Came here for an early dinner during the week. We arrive around 6 the dining area was practically empty the way I prefer. Our server was Dragon who was excellent. For starters we're ordered the crab cakes and spicy shrimp. My mom likes the crab cake I am not a fan. The spicy shrimp were delicious. For entrees, I got the salad wedge salad. My mom ordered the special they had for a steak and lobster for $70. My son ordered the petit filet. For sides we split creamed spinach and mashed potato. All dishes were delicious! We were stuffed by the end. To conclude the evening, I ordered the chocolate cake and espresso. The manager even came over to ensure of meal was great.

Kristin J.

This steak was amazing! One of the best I have had. Also, the ahi tuna was incredible and service is top notch. I would say this is up on my list for one of the top three steak places in Houston in my opinion. Looking forward to going back again soon.

Howdy y'all and welcome!!!

I had the great pleasure of dining here for my birthday and it was an excellent experience. The…read morefirst thing that impressed me was the service which was outstanding. Within the first ten minutes of entering, we had met not only a wonderful host but our server and one of the managers. Their casual check-ins were appropriate and appreciated, never feeling fake. Their restaurant is an upscale casual and simply decorated with an impressive bar and food menu. The meal was a combination of individual and shared dishes. I ordered the Ensalada Mixta 5/5 was great but perhaps not large enough to share, so get your own. Sharing the large plate of Paella Mariscos 4/5 was delicious but the hanger steak 5/5 is absolutely amazing. The wine selection is great offering something for everyone with flights available. The overall experience made for a fantastic birthday celebration and I'm ready for my encore visit to relive that great vibe. I'm betting the staff will ensure it's a special treat.

Oh dear Lord, the food!! It was all sooooo terrific. Love the high energy, loud atmosphere…read more Friendly, helpful staff. Apologies in advance for my half-eaten food pics! The food was so good we started devouring each dish as they put a new item on the table. ‍ Food ratings: Focaccia bread- 5/5. Warm. Buttery slightly crusty too with soft insight. Yum. Roasted cauliflower - 4.5/5. In a Wonderful sauce. Touch of lemon flavor. Little crunchy. Good! Ensalata Mixta- 5/5. Salad dressing vinegarette was wonderful. Vinegarette dressing is terrific. Slightly spicy. Olives are soooo fresh. I didn't recognize some of the olives. They were super tasty. Beware they have pits. Hangar steak - 4.5/5. Flavor is great. Tender. Ordered it med rare (MR). Not even sure if it came out MR but it was just tasty. Spicy Beef Empanadas- 5/5. A touch of spiciness pepper that lingers in your mouth. Just right. Flavorful. Flaky bread. Really good. Seafood paella - 4/5. The seafood was cooked just right and flavors were good with the rice. Staff: The staff was great. Our server was attentive & gave menu recommendations. Several managers checked on us. The general manager, Andrew stopped by the table to ensure all was well. Zac, the drink manager, also was super helpful helping pick my wine. He let me sample 2 choices prior to making my selection. I decided to get a flight so I told him what I liked & he selected & brought me a sparkling, white & red per my description of preferences. Also, I saw where they gave a birthday sangria where you order sangria & they pour it down your throat. I wasn't close enough to snap a pic/video but it was quite a thing at one of the celebrating tables. It was my husband's birthday but that was not an option for him.Lol. The atmosphere is elevated casual. It's lively. It was a very enjoyable date night, birthday celebration night. I absolutely recommend it & will absolutely return!

The food was FIRE. Seriously, everything we had was amazing! The Caesar salad, lamb pappardelle,…read moremussel toast!!!, pork chop... every single dish was sooo good. Easily some of the best bites we've had in a while. Super knowledgeable and friendly staff. The wine selection is great too, and the space is super cute, intimate, and cozy with such a nice neighborhood feel. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back. Such a little gem!

The Library is truly a gem in my neighborhood. I'm always excited to bring friends who are visiting…read moreHouston or don't live nearby. The décor, wine list, menu, comfortable seating, and cozy atmosphere make it such a special spot. They offer wines for every taste and budget, and the staff is knowledgeable when asked for recommendations. That's why this is difficult for me to write. Despite visiting frequently, I've consistently found the customer service to be unwelcoming. The service has a strange tone, and it isn't limited to one employee they all seem to share the same indifferent, slightly annoyed demeanor. The experience feels less like genuine hospitality and more like, "You're here what can I get you?" On my most recent visit, others in my group noticed and commented on the same thing without any prompting from me. Since they had never been before, it confirmed that it wasn't just my perception. One small interaction captured the overall tone. We asked whether they happened to have a birthday candle, and an employee responded in an annoyed tone by pointing to the candle on our table which, realistically, no one would put on a birthday dessert. We completely understood that they might not have one; it wasn't an unreasonable expectation or request. A simple, friendly response like, "Unfortunately, we don't, but we do have some delicious desserts," would have been perfectly fine. It wasn't the answer that bothered us. it was the way we were made to feel for asking. It may seem like a small interaction, but great hospitality is built on small moments. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and inviting, but unfortunately, the service doesn't reflect that same feeling. People return to places where they feel welcomed and appreciated, especially in a city like Houston with so many wonderful food and wine options. I genuinely want The Library to thrive because it has everything else it needs to remain a true neighborhood favorite.
