We got lucky and got a table for our party of seven in the first come, first served bar dining area. We were originally planning our party's dinner in a nearby restaurant until my mom suddenly saw Ruth's Chris and said she wanted Ruth's Chris for dinner and asked me to check if they had a table by chance. When I saw they had two empty tables, Benjamin R, who turned out to be our outstanding sever, quickly helped us to put two tables together for our party! Our server was on top of it, so much that certain things like getting our dessert choices down and bringing us to-go containers before we even asked. It was a busy evening, but Benjamin kept checking on us and making sure we were taken care of! As usual, the $60 Ruth's Chris three course meal is a winner! I ordered the filet mignon with shrimp for just a little extra charge, which is always worth it to me, especially with how juicy and delicious this surf and turf type dish is. Our cheesecake was perfection, as it was extremely decadent and had less crust, more cheesecake, which is how our party likes it! My 7-year-old Goddaughter ordered fries and mac 'n cheese and said to my mom, "Good choice choosing this restaurant! I think this is my fav mac 'n cheese!" I can't argue with my Goddaughter because she was absolutely right! Thank you and good choice mom! Ruth's Chris remains as our fav steak house!! read more

Ruth's is a great standard on what fine dining should be. Elegant ambience, excellent customer service, and delicious food. I have been to a couple of Ruth's around California and they all have the same incredible experience. Would definitely recommend this perfect place for a special evening. Definitely give their drinks a try, can't go wrong with most of their appetizers, and they have mouth watering deals that are definitely worth the price you pay. read more

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Ruth's Chris Steak House in Sacramento, and let me tell you, it was an incredible dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance is elegant and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a special evening. To kick off our meal, we decided to indulge in some cocktails. We decided to share a fantastic Caesar salad, which was fresh and well-seasoned, offering just the right balance of flavors to complement our dishes. For dinner, we couldn't resist trying their steaks. My wife and I had the done in ribeye steak, paired perfectly with a loaded potato that was both indulgent and delicious. I chose the mash potato's an excellent accompaniment to the meal. I had to catch myself from sucking on the bone it was so flavorful. The portions were generous, and the overall quality was still impressive, reinforcing Ruth's Chris's reputation for outstanding steaks. Overall, our dining experience was quite enjoyable. The service was attentive without being intrusive, allowing us to relax and savor our meal. If you're in Sacramento and looking for a top-tier steakhouse, I highly recommend Ruth's Chris. It truly exceeded our expectations and provided us with a memorable evening! read more

I had such high hopes for Ruth Chris Steakhouse. The food was good. For the price range, I expected a true fine dining experience. I've been to other Ruth Chris locations and my opinion stays the same. While Ruth Chris is renowned for their steaks, I felt that their menu was basic. I guess that's to be expected because they're a chain. However, we were here for a holiday dinner and my fellow diners don't go to upscale restaurants often so this was a treat. We started off with the with the Seafood Tower, which was a sight to behold, even for me. It consisted of lobster, crab, prawns and poke. While the presentation was impressive and serving sizes were great, the taste was ok. The sauces served with the seafood were classic cocktail sauce and zesty aioli. My personal favorite was the poke. For my salad, I had their classic Caesar which I've had before and it was everything a true Ceasar should be: garlicky, tart, salty in a creamy sauce. My main entree was the 16 oz ribeye. Our sides included the lobster mac n cheese, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, Brussel sprouts and cremini mushrooms. The advantage of a large party is being able to try lots of dishes. The group fave was the sweet potato casserole. The lobster mac n cheese was too rich and you can only eat a little bit. For dessert, we got everything: carrot cake, chocolate lava cake, cheesecake, creme brule and bread pudding. Group fave was the carrot cake. The service was attentive especially since we bought several rounds of cocktails. Our bill was pretty hefty. The dinner was good, but the offerings were pretty basic. There wasn't anything unique or innovative on their menu. Did I enjoy my meal? I did. For the amount of money spent, I would have preferred a locally owned restaurant featuring dishes inspired by the bounty of ingredients in our area. read more

We came here to celebrate my birthday. We were a bit early to the reservation so some of our party went to the bar area for a drink and an appetizer, and the server there was kind and attentive. Once seated for dinner, Tionelle was our server - super sweet and friendly. Loved her voice, like it was just so soothing. I love how they put birthday confetti on the table. It's a small but thoughtful gesture. She checked on us often which I appreciated, and was observant that I was low on my soft drink and promptly brought me another. I love when the staff anticipates your needs because I was going to ask for another. I usually get the ribeye but opted for the filet and was cooked to perfection. I did get a lobster tail accompaniment and it was a bit on the salty side from the seasoning on top. I absolutely love salt but in this case I think the kitchen was a little heavy handed there, but once dipped in butter, it was better. The lobster mac n cheese was missing flavor IMO, definitely lacked salt and seasoning here :( The complimentary birthday dessert was cute and always love when they write Happy Birthday. We had birthday cake waiting for us at home so we skipped ordering desserts but everyone in our group ended their meal with a coffee beverage. If you order an espresso, it comes with a rock sugar stick! Overall, we've loved coming to this location for almost 10 years. The service is always fantastic and a nice place to celebrate a special occassion or dinner just because. Make sure to ask for Tionelle! read more

Had a great dining experience overall. My husband and I were seated in what felt like a private room off to the side of the restaurant, with a nice picture window. We had the entire section to ourselves, which made the experience feel really exclusive and relaxed. Julian was our server and he was attentive and provided excellent service. My husband and I usually order the three-course meal, but we were pressed for time and let Julian know we needed to be out within an hour. We ordered the crab cake entrée and two salads, and he made sure everything came out quickly so we could comfortably stay within our timeframe. I always order the Caesar salad whenever I come to RC, and it's consistently good every time. Unfortunately, it was our first, and definitely our last, time ordering the crab cakes. The texture was very mushy and the flavor was really lacking. We actually ended up using the Caesar dressing as a makeshift remoulade because the crab cakes were so bland. I'll definitely be sticking to my usual favorites next time. read more

My husband and I have been to this location 3 times. Both times are when they had the 3 course for $65 deal. Our first time, was great. The first time was great. Food was great and excellent service. Second time, food was great also. We love the caesar salad! The third time, the food was ok. My steak was more on the well done side instead of medium well. Also, I think we were over charged. It was our fault for not double checking our receipt, but at the same time for being a high end restaurant, our waitress should've made sure received the correct bill. We didn't bring the receipt home so it's too late to dispute it now. It's worth it to try when there are the 3 course meal deals. read more

Service was top notch Andrea is phenomenal! Attentive without intruding. Ambiance was perfect! They put fresh red rose petals on the table for our anniversary! There was a special decorated menu for anniversaries too! Same menu just decorated. Also, they provided a beautiful complimentary anniversary cheesecake dessert! I posted a photo of it so make sure to check it out! Food was delicious, fresh and tasty. Andrea checked back after we cut into our steaks to ensure they were cooked to our specifications and they were! This is the perfect place to enjoy a romantic anniversary dinner! We also had drinks and appetizers in the bar before going to our dinner table reservation in the dining room. I posted photos of the happy hour pricing, remember you need to eat/drink in bar area to get happy hour prices. Bar area is first come first served and fills up fast so get there a few minutes before they open to ensure your spot in the bar area. Thank you Andrea for making our experience so amazing! read more

It's bee while since I have been here. They are always pretty good before. We came here for one of my Daughter's Birthdays. I mad reservations. We arrived and were seated right away. The place was more or less empty. I think there were two tables with customers. They put us all the way in the back of the dining room at a round table since there were five of us. They brought us water and the server introduced herself and took our drink orders. She came back and we all gave our orders and then she left. It was sometime before she returned and I was out of water and my iced tea. I had to ask one of the guy who brought my daughters soup to get another one. The server came back with both the water and tea and left us a pitcher of water so we wouldn't runout. Our food came and the steaks were sizzling as always. The ribeye was much better tasting than my T-bone. I still enjoyed it. The French onion soup had a large crouton in the middle of it. My daughter wished there was more onions in it. They brought out a Birthday dessert for my daughter which was really nice. All was just ok . Not the usual as like I remember . Still good but I think the quality had gone down a little. Nothing really special. read more

I've been here a few times for work dinners. Most recently had the 16oz rib eye with grilled shrimp. The grilled shrimp were amazing-gigantic, succulent, and delicious-they were actually my favorite part of the meal! The ribeye was cooked well too-especially with the mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. The goat cheese and artichoke dip was also tasty-rich and hearty, perfect by itself or with the accompanying toasted bread. Great place for a special event-just at times parking can be difficult. read more

Always heard of Ruth's but never actually been until now. We got there before the lunch rush so it wasn't too busy. The service was amazing and super attentive. They really made sure everything was running smoothly. We ordered a lot, but the standout for me was the seabass with the honey soy flavor. So good. I love veggies, and it came with mushrooms and onions which I enjoyed. The mac and cheese was great, and the sweet potato crumble was also really good. We got a few appetizers too. The calamari was really tasty, especially with the sauce it comes with, which was basically a sweet and sour vibe. The garlic bread with goat cheese was also delicious. More of a bread and dip situation, but I'm never mad about cheese. They also brought champagne glasses to the table, and they have bar drinks too. I'm sure they have other alcoholic options, but we definitely enjoyed a few beverages. read more

My husband and I usually end up sitting at the bar for a quick meal since we're always short on time. The last few times, we placed to go orders online and paid through Apple Pay. When we arrived to pick up the food, they still asked to see the physical card and an ID for security reasons. The challenge is that with Apple Pay you never actually use or carry the physical card, so it makes the whole process a bit inconvenient. It would be great if they updated their verification process for mobile payments so guests aren't digging through accounts or explaining why they don't have a card they didn't use. It feels like a lot of extra steps just to pick up two steak sandwiches. Overall, we're still fans of Ruth's Chris and will definitely continue coming back. A small update to the to go payment process would make the experience even smoother. read more

Ruth's Chris Steak House - Steakhouses Near Me - Sacramento, California

Ruth's Chris Steak House delivers pure elegance and power from the moment you walk in. Every detail feels intentional--the golden lighting, the low hum of jazz, and that unmistakable sizzle from a 500-degree plate. Knowing the story behind it--that Ruth Fertel, a single mom, mortgaged her home in 1965 to buy a small New Orleans steakhouse--makes each bite feel like part of a legacy built on courage and perfection. The filet arrives seared to its edge and melts like butter, while the lobster mac and cheese and creamed spinach bring a comforting richness that never feels heavy. The service moves with quiet confidence, attentive without hovering, and each course lands right on cue. You can sense a culture that still carries Ruth's original hospitality--warm, proud, and precise. This isn't just dinner; it's a master class in timeless dining. The kind of place you celebrate milestones, sip a perfect Old Fashioned, and remember that some traditions are worth savoring forever. read more

Every single time I've dined at Ruth Chris at the Pavillions I've enjoyed a five star experience. Everything from the restaurant ambiance, the service and of course the food. Perfection. Christine and Shalaya were absolutely the best! Friendly, fun and engaging. read more

Im very conflicted with this review. Be patient I'm going to tell you why guy haha. First off great ambiance, classy, clean, gentle lighting inside inspiring a romantic setting, white cloth tables, the whole works. Great for date night with someone special or an anniversary. Way too expensive for a first date unless you got it like that haha. I personally would only want to spend these high prices on someone I truly care about. Ok so I'm conflicted because the prices are crazy high. $46 just for three small lamb chops, nothing else. You heard me, nothing else. No salad, no side, no nothing. Im sorry but to me that's crazy expensive. You can order family style sides made to share or salad but everything is extra and in my opinion crazy expensive for what you get. Now I'm conflicted because I think it's way way way over priced but it was the best most succulent moist lamb chops I've ever had in my life. So that's why I'm conflicted, so that's why I gave it 4 stars. The bread was excellent and I love bread. We was never offered more I dont know if they give you more than one. Pro tip: make reservation because they hardly accept walk ins. They have a bar area I believe you can walk in and seat yourself incase you didnt make reservations. read more

Ruth's Chris is one of those places that continues to deliver a consistently good experience every time we visit. The steaks are always solid. They may not be exceptional or cutting edge but they are reliably well prepared and satisfying, which honestly counts for a lot. We usually order the New York strip and the filet and both are consistently cooked properly and full of flavor. The service is another strong point. It is attentive professional and polished without feeling stiff. You are well taken care of from start to finish and the pacing of the meal is handled well. You can relax knowing the basics will be executed correctly. Overall you will have a good meal here with attentive service and a comfortable familiar atmosphere. In many ways the steaks here end up being better than some of the more expensive local options that try to do too much and miss the mark. For a chain restaurant Ruth's Chris continues to perform well and remains a dependable choice when you want a solid steak dinner done right. read more

I had high expectations for Ruth's Chris Steak House, but this was a very disappointing experience from start to finish. We both ordered the 3-course meal, and it immediately went downhill. I ordered my filet medium rare, but it came out well done--completely overcooked and unacceptable for a steakhouse of this caliber. That alone was frustrating, but it didn't stop there. I also ordered the French onion soup, and it came out cold. We sent it back, and when it returned, it was obvious they had just microwaved it instead of remaking it properly. For a restaurant charging premium prices, that's just not okay. Overall, the quality and attention to detail were far below expectations. For the price you pay here, you expect precision and professionalism, but this felt careless and rushed. Very disappointed, and I wouldn't return. read more

We came to Ruth's Chris to celebrate a special life milestone and decided to sit in the lounge for happy hour. Even though it was absolutely packed, our server was so kind and incredibly attentive. I wish I remembered her name because she truly made the experience feel celebratory. We ordered the zucchini fries, seared ahi tuna, chicken sandwich, and the steak sandwich. Honestly? Not a single miss. The ahi tuna stood out the most with its perfectly seasoned crust and that punchy mustard sauce. It was balanced, flavorful, and beautifully done. And I have to admit, I'm someone who doesn't like steak... like, ever. But I tried a bite of my partner's steak sandwich and it may have changed my mind. Tender, juicy, and layered with flavor. One small disappointment was the Old Fashioned. As any Old Fashioned lover will tell you: cubed ice and two cocktail straws just aren't it. That said, they totally redeemed themselves with the blackberry sidecar. It was bright, smooth, and a delicious surprise I'd absolutely order again. Would come back in a heartbeat. Especially for that tuna and the cozy, lively lounge vibe. But highly recommend coming at the beginning of happy hour as it does get pretty packed! read more

Came here for the second time giving it another try....and it was a fail --- food part. The service was great of course. However, food was not so great. Everything was served in a small plate. I've fine done before, but this...what the! Starters were french onion soup -- (salty) & steak house salad-- drench in vinaigrette dressing and sooo sour. Was not able to finish it. The Brussels Sprouts were also salty. The steak we had was alright. Only thing i enjoyed was the shrimp cocktail. For what people spend here...it need to do better! Everyone has their own opinion and taste bud on food. That day was just not it for me. And definitely will never return! read more

I chose this restaurant for my wife's birthday for a surprise, we had a reservation at 6 o'clock, and when we got to the door, they were very friendly and sat us down right away.

The food took a long time to come out overall it wasn't what I expected to be. I'm disappointed. read more

We went on Mother's Day, so understandably, it was busy--but the wait time between being seated, ordering, getting drinks and salad, and then finally our entrées was definitely long. We were there for nearly 2.5 hours for just two people. We did notice a few large parties ahead of us, and once they were served and left, the pace picked up and food started coming out much quicker. Now, on to the food--worth the wait! The lamb chops were amazing, and my mom absolutely loved her filet. She's super picky about how her steak is cooked, and it was done perfectly. We shared a baked potato, which they thoughtfully cut before serving--it was delicious! We also split the chopped salad to start, and it was the perfect way to kick off the meal. Our main waitress was nice, but the standout was her support waiter--he was fantastic. He made sure our water and bread were always full, had a great attitude, and was genuinely friendly the entire time. All in all, despite the long wait, we had a great meal and really appreciated the service. Would definitely come back on a less busy night! read more

Hubby took me here for my birthday meal. We had a reservation but due to the ongoing construction on Hwy 50 we were late but only had to wait another 10 minutes which was nice for a busy Saturday. Ruth Chris here at the Pavilions has a nice upscale vibe, good music, good service. For the price I do feel like the food was not the best I've had and definitely not as good as the last time I had Ruth Chris but that was in Vegas. I'm a bit of a filet mignon expert since it's been my fav since I was 8 years old. That being said the filet and mushrooms were about 3.5/4 star meaning okay but not the best filet I've had lacking flavor and tenderness. I make a better one at home. The mash potatoes and lobster Mac were a bit disappointing too and lacking flavor as well. The mash potatoes actually didn't seem like homemade. I enjoyed the service and ambiance but the food here needs some improvement. Also, the water had some weird nasty aftertaste like it was from the tap. I did really enjoy the bread pudding and Brussel sprouts. Would I go back? Probably not. That's how I gauge if it was good. All in all I loved the atmosphere and service but the quality of the food seems to have gone down since my last Ruth Chris visit. read more

Food was great, the filets we ordered were very juicy, drinks were good, the desserts were amazing and our server was attentive, I think her name was Cindy. They should place to go bags on the table and not behind our heads, we did forget to grab it, but I'll say that's on us for forgetting to grab them. Now the reason why I gave three stars. First of all it started rocky when the brunette hostess at the front desk with braces called my name wrong (George) and I corrected her by saying "It's Jorge". That's all I said to her and she just gave me a nasty look, like as if I had just insulted her. Idk what her problem is but from reading the other reviews, some of the hostess have attitude problems. The second big issue was that the person who brought our filet plates over did not inform us that the plates were extremely hot, I'm not sure if they have the plates in the oven before placing the filets on top. I burned my finger and after this happened, they casually say, "oh, use a napkin. The plates are very hot". Too late for that. End of the night we exited and none of the 3-4 hostess say "have a good night, thank you for coming". Instead I get a dirty look from the same brunette with braces as we pass by, as if I did her very wrong. I cannot be making this up, its wild. read more

My wife and I came here to celebrate our 4th anniversary. I had little expectations but started off surprised with rose petals on our table for our anniversary dinner. Nice touch and made us feel good about our choice for dinner. Brandon took care of us (not me lol), he was how I always feel someone in this industry should be. Friendly , helpful and made us feel welcomed and happy. I haven't had a Shirley temple in a decade, but he made a pretty damn good one, thanks Brandon lol. All of the other servers were great as well and friendly when helping us with food. Julius helped us pack out leftovers and took our plates away but a smile and a happy demeanor goes a long way so we appreciate his help as well. This is a great crew, it's been a really long time that we had an experience that wasn't just putting food in our bellies. read more

My husband and I decided to come here to celebrate completing our taxes on 3/25. There was a short line of people waiting outside since they don't open until 4pm. We decided to sit in the bar area in a half booth for Happy Hour. Bailey came by and took our drink and appetizer order. I got a Blueberry Mojito $12hh which wasn't as good as I recall before. It was a bit tangy and didn't have any mint muddled into the drink, only a sprig for garnish. They didn't have very many choices of beer on tap which seemed odd, so my hubby had to settle for a Stella Artois $8hh which was just ok. We both got a Ruth's Chop salad $19ea which we always love. We also decided to try their Goat Cheese Artichoke Dip $15hh which was good. I tried a Lemon Drop drink next $12hh but I just happened to see the waitress pour the drink into the glass at the bar and part of it poured out the opposite side of the glass, so of course it wasn't even full when she brought it to our table. For main courses my husband got the Filet $71 and added the Blue Cheese crust $8 which he enjoyed. I had the Crab Stuffed Mushrooms $25 which were yummy! We got 3 yummy sides: Sweet Potato Casserole $17, Garlic Mashed Potatoes $16, and the Lobster Mac n Cheese $34 which was rather pricey, but it was a larger size, and tasted good. The half booth in the bar ended up being way to close to other tables, which made it hard getting in/out. The older couple right next to us were quite annoying, and the large party in the big round booth were quite loud. It was hard to hear each other talk it was so loud in the bar. Happy hour does offer great prices, but we might have to rethink this next time. As I walked to the restroom I happened to notice there was only 1-2 tables of people eating in the main dining area. The women's restroom still had loose toilet seats just like it did several years ago. read more

Overall? This was a great experience from start to finish. The evening felt cohesive with quality food, attentive service, and an ambiance that leaned upscale yet minimalist, with clean edges and low lighting. Compared to Morton's, the food quality edged higher and the overall experience was more seamless without the hassle of downtown parking or valet. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and while not every dish was a showstopper, the execution was consistently strong with no missteps Parking? Lot We had: Ruth's Chopped Salad (4/5): Presented as a striking tower, layered with smoky bacon, egg, briny olives, hearts of palm, earthy mushrooms, bleu cheese crumbles, and crisp house-made croutons all pulled together by a creamy lemon basil dressing. Crispy onions finished it off with texture. Balanced and flavorful, though it leaned more toward a polished classic than a true standout Cowboy Ribeye (4.5/5): A solid cut, juicy, well marbled, and cooked with precision. The richness was exactly what you'd expect, with enough char to satisfy. A very good steak, though it didn't quite cross into unforgettable territory. Not the best I've had, but definitely a quality piece worth ordering Creamed Spinach (5/5): Rich, velvety, and perfectly seasoned, letting the spinach shine through the cream. Comforting yet refined, it delivered exactly what you want from a classic side, elevated just enough to stand out read more

The hubby and I, are remodeling our home. Too tired to cook. Hopped in the car, to eat out at this place, we'd never tried. Granted, we were in sweats and t-shirts, but with a COMPLETELY EMPTY room of 30 or so tables, two young women at the entrance told us we'd have to wait at least 30 minutes to be seated. There was no one there. It was 4pm. They looked at us like we'd just crawled out of the nearby sewer (sweats and t-shirt yes, but clean). Evidently, they thought we weren't "dressed up" enough for the place. If that's how they greet paying patrons, I can just imagine the rest. Naturally, we will never go there again. read more

It must've been a busy night because the parking was pretty full. Once we entered, we checked in and they required at least 80% of our party to be there before we were Sat. Once seated, we were greeted by two servers who introduced themselves and let us know to be cautious with the " hot plates". We ordered several appetizers for the table, including the crabcakes, spicy shrimp, and calamari. I highly recommend ordering the calamari and the spicy shrimp. They brought a complementary bread which was so fresh and warm and addicting with the butter. If ordering wine, I recommend ordering the 9 ounce pour because it'll last you throughout dinner. I tried the espresso martini, and it was a perfect balance between the liquor and the espresso. I ordered the ribeye, medium well. I was expecting it to have a little more juicy fat in it but had good flavor. It was a good sized cut of meat. I added a lobster to it, which I thought was a bit too salty. I will say the sides are really good. I highly recommend the mushrooms, mac & cheese, and potatoes. I've had the cream spinach, but I didn't get to taste at this time. The brussels sprouts were pretty good. I tried the yams and they were super creamy and sweet, which were better than expected. For dessert, I had the crème brûlée and it's the best. The bread pudding was super soft and sweet. Everyone loved it. The service was great. The servers were attentive and checked on us frequently. Overall, a great experience, it was just the main entree that could have been better. read more

We love RC and come to the Pavilions location often. We celebrated Valentines Day there had a great meal. The service was ok. Our server seemed new or rushed, he kept forgetting things. For example, our dessert was included in our meal but he brought us a dessert menu & then came back & said we could only order the chocolate sin cake. Then forgot my rose & when he came he said to my husband, was going to give it to her but I see she's not here so I'll let you take credit for it.". Then he said, enjoy your birthday I mean Valentines Day. Also the waiter that brought our food went to three different tables before coming to our table with our food. Said he forgot his contacts? I also noticed the manager going to every table to see how peoples meals were. He never came to our table. read more

Ruth's Chris is a solid 4 out of 5 for me. It is a well known steakhouse chain, and overall, it delivers a good, consistent experience. The steaks are high quality and cooked properly, and that sizzling butter finish they are known for definitely adds to the flavor. The sides are solid too, and you can put together a really satisfying, classic steakhouse meal. Nothing feels out of place, and everything is executed the way you would expect. The ambiance is more on the traditional side. Dim lighting, a little formal, but still comfortable. It works well for date nights, business dinners, or any kind of occasion. Service is strong. Attentive, professional, and polished, which is what you want at a place like this. That said, I do think Morton's is better overall. It just feels a bit more refined and consistent to me. Ruth's Chris is not bad at all, it just does not quite hit that same level. Also, like most steakhouses in this tier, it can get expensive quickly, especially once you start adding sides and extras. Overall, a dependable steakhouse that does a lot of things right. Not my top choice, but definitely a good option if you are in the mood for a classic steakhouse experience. read more

Came and had brunch with my fiance on Father's Day. The service was great. The food was delicious. They made the steaks medium rare although we asked for medium, but it was still good. The music was also great. I danced in my seat the entire time I ate. Will be back. read more

My party enjoyed the crab stuffed mushrooms, butter shrimp, artichoke and sun-dried tomatoes dip as appetizers. We had the stuffed chicken, and petite filets with truffle crust and lobster macaroni and cheese, Brussels sprouts, au gratin potatoes accoutrements. Bottle of DAUO Cab Sauvignon, a classic old fashion, and an espresso martini. Everything was absolutely delicious and prepared with perfection. Our server, Brandon, was a delight and made us feel at home on Thanksgiving Day! The dining room is warm and inviting with a dim light ambiance. read more

If you're looking to enjoy a great happy hour, Ruth's Chris is definitely worth checking out. The fries and drinks are good, great flavor and presentation. The shrimp is good, though I do think it could be a little more reasonably priced for happy hour. Dinner time is when I enjoy it most. My favorite picks are the Brussels sprouts and a few of the sides & lobster Mac is so good flavorful and satisfying every time. Overall, it's a great way to enjoy a premium experience without the full dinner price. One of my favorite spots to wind down after a long day! read more
