Ate here with a friend for a shared birthday dinner this past weekend and it was a very pleasant experience. The service was top notch, and the food was extremely tasty. I ordered Ceasar Salad for the appetizer and the Filet Mignon medium rare with string fries. We shared a bottle of an Australian Chardonnay. Delicious! The waitress was kind enough to bring us both slices of Banana Cake upon finding out it was our birthdays, nice touch. read more

Service was spectacular and they sure do know how to cook a good steak to your liking. Beyond the streak, the side dishes were nothing special. The Brussel sprouts were rock hard and woody. The garlic mashed potatoes were nothing special. The menu is completely à la cart , meaning you pay $20 for a 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes and $19 for 5 Brussel sprouts and $50 for a 6oz steak. I expected better quality food for the price. Dinner for 2 without drinks will cost you $200. read more

Our first night in Toronto, our hotel had a steakhouse on site. Very convenient. We made reservations and were promptly seated on arrival. Our party of three, for starters, shared calamari, crunchy, lightly battered with a sweet & spicy chili sauce. ​One French Onion Soup with a thick coat of melted cheese was said to be very good. For the main course, we shared Petite Filet & Shrimp (two 4 oz medallions with six. Grilled shrimp)perfect portions for the two of us. NY Strip was the other meat selected. The meats came to the desired doneness-medium. The filete was tender The side dishes-Sweet Potato Casserole, Fire-Roasted Corn, were hits. The potato has a crusted pecan, so good. I loved the corn too. Pinot Noir, Malbec, Zero Coke for drinks. The dessert was a sinful, extremely rich Chocolate Fudge Cake that was shared. Service impeccable, ambiance quite sophisticated. We had a great meal. read more

The competition for steakhouses in Toronto is fierce, so it's taken me a long time to try the often forgotten Ruth Chris. Well, they provide a specific experience and they do it well - the service is thoughtful and detailed. The food itself is like many other steakhouses in Toronto, good but not going to blow your socks off. That's not the point. They serve the steaks on steaming hot plates and then give you your own plate covered with butter and 500° hot. Let me be clear - this is genius. When you put a slice of steak on your plate, it immediately sizzles and soaks up that herby butter. That alone makes for a hell of a bite. Give Ruth Chris a try! read more

It was a great privilege to sample their renowned cuisine. The crab cakes were undoubtedly the highlight of the trip. Packed with fresh crab meat, the seasoning and ingredients were perfectly balanced. The texture was flawless, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If you're a crab cake lover, these truly live up to their reputation.The steaks were equally impressive. I ordered a filet mignon, cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and incredibly tender meat. The steak was exceptionally juicy, and the simple seasoning perfectly complemented its natural flavor. Clearly, they put a lot of care into their steak preparation.While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the food and the service are absolutely worth it. The restaurant has an elegant ambiance, making it ideal for special occasions or dining out. In short, Ruth's Chris provided a superb dining experience, especially the crab cakes and the perfectly cooked steaks, which were truly impressive. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch steakhouse experience. read more

Mike was very hospitable, friendly, efficient, yet not intrusive. He gave us extra chocolate. What more need I say?

The steak was good but they only serve US beef??????? Why don't they support Canadian farmers like the Keg? read more

While in town for business, I had the pleasure of dining at this RCSH several times. From the Manager Brian, to my server Kimberly, and then Angie the outstanding bartender/server, the customer service was over the top excellent! Their personal attention to detail, friendly interactions, attentiveness, and helpful suggestions made each visit amazing and very enjoyable. The kitchen should be commended as well of course, because the food was fantastic every time. I will definitely seek out this RCSH the next time I'm in Toronto for any reason. A+++, more than 5 stars! read more

The special combo meal was perfect. Great salad, steak and dessert. Service was excellent

Meet is amazing. But you'll have to pay the PRICE!!!! It's so expensive. Service is good. But again you get what you pay for.

Visited this place after 6 years of passing by: Located in downtown Toronto, you have a good spot beside the Hilton hotel. Therefore accessible parking and also close to TTC. The staff are really kind and polite, helpful as well! The complimentary bread was very good. Perfect seasoning and it would melt in my mouth. However this was only for one of them. The other two weren't as fresh. The ahi tuna was good, i dont say it was the best i've had because the crust and the seasoning could be more interesting. The new york strip: THE BEST ive ever had (till July 2022). Seasoned, cooked, and presented beautifully in a SIZZLING dish. MAKE SURE YOU TRY THE NY STRIP STRAK! The Au Gratin was very good too! I loved the consistency and the seasoning. The cheesecake was creative and fresh. The berries could be presented a bit better but everything else was amazing about it! read more

I was visiting from New York; I wanted to the visit the Toronto Sign at the Nathan Phillips Square, that's around the corner from here. I got lost trying to find this place-- partially since I'm an out of towner and it's semi-hidden. However, it's right next to the Hilton Hotel. Decided to venture here 25 minutes or so, before the kitchen closed. I expected a rude, moody server, but didn't receive anything close to that. The place wasn't very crowded, as I just mentioned it was near closing time. I wasn't in the mood for steak (I know, why come to a steakhouse) instead I went with Salmon. I've been to Ruth Chris prior, I know the steaks come out piping hot, but I did appreciate the server alerting us that everything is coming out piping hot, including the Salmon. The food was good, the service was good, I do feel the decor needs an improvement. Feels very dated and old school, but not in a good way. I think that's just the feel the company goes for because of their locations I've been to, all looked similar. read more

We have been to Ruth's Chris steak houses around the United States, but this was our first visit to a Canadian establishment. They have kept up the tradition, and in fact, when it comes to the Wait staff, exceeded our expectations. Very attentive and accommodating, exceeding most US standards and more reminiscent of the luxurious European tradition. From the warm bread served with rich butter before you even order, to the nice wine selection, this place piqued our interest. Once the food arrived, we were treated to culinary delights and we are certain we will be back. Steaks prepared bloody rare like I love them, and so few places are willing to accommodate, Fish cooked perfectly, do try the brussels sprouts, which had a hint of horseradish although that's not on the menu, mushrooms, soaked in sherry, I think, and cooked perfectly, we really have nothing negative to say. This Toronto location is more than worthy of the Ruth's Chris name. read more

We went to Ruth's Chris Steak House for their Summerlicious meal. I been to Ruth's Chris Steak House and was always surprised at the high prices. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the service is always professional. The service was good, but they gave us the regular menus when we want the Summerlicious menus. I ordered the Caesar salad while my friend ordered the kale soup. My Caesar salad was pretty sad because the lettuce was sort of wilted. My friend did not like her kale soup. We ordered the fillet steak as our main. We got two small fillets on sizzling hot plates. The fillets were good, but the portions were small. We had the cheesecake for desert and they were good. Would we go back? I doubted because when I got back home, I had to prepare more food for myself. The prices are so high at this restaurant, but the portions are so small. read more

I have reviewed a lot of restaurants and rarely give 5 stars, but this evening was special. First, the steaks were excellent...tender and cooked to perfection. The sides were tasty too. Second, the venue is pleasant, relaxing and not too loud...so you can carry on a conversation. Third, the service was over the top. Our waitress, Kimberly, went out of her way to make certain everything was perfect. She was one of a kind. The cost can perhaps limit visits to very special occasions. However, it was worth every penny and we will be back. read more

This was my second visit to Ruth's Chris downtown. My friend and I decided to spoil ourselves with a great steak dinner this weekend. We had picked up some gift cards at Costco for 20% off, ($80 for $100 value) but since the restaurant limits you to using only one card per person, the discount is quite minimal at the end of the meal. Still, $20 off is better than a kick in the pants. We ordered a nice bottle of Italian Chianti, which is my friend's favourite type of wine right now. I usually prefer a Cabernet Sauvignon with my steak, but the Chianti was quite nice. For dinner, we started out with a Caesar salad each, followed by the 8 oz. petite filet. For sides, we had the mashed potatoes and the Brussels sprouts and for dessert we had crème brûlée with a cup of coffee. I do love how the plates come out sizzling hot. It's nice being able to enjoy your food without it getting cold too quickly. My steak was a perfect medium rare, and the texture of the filet was incredible (see photo). Far superior to the steak I had at Barberian's not too long ago. Service here is top notch, as well. Although, the first time I dined here, I felt the waiter was a bit cold. He was an older gentleman and was too serious and stuffy for my taste. Perhaps it's a generational thing. Our server this time was much more friendly and relaxed, while still being very professional. It is an expensive restaurant, but if you're looking for a great steak dinner and have some cash to spare, I highly recommend Ruth's Chris. They also offer a 3-course dinner for $59.95 each, but your options are limited to 3 or 4 choices. Still, a great value if you like the options offered, and I believe they do change from time to time. read more

Who is down for a pricy steakhouse? Okay so sometimes you just have to!! I stay at the Hilton where Ruth's is located. Im so exhausted and don't even want to think about where to eat. I go down around 5pm while it's still quiet and sit at the bar The steak was super tender, could have had a bit more flavor. I ordered 1/2 order of fries and a glass of wine. It was nice and peaceful and I don't see how you can go wrong with this place for a nice dinner. My bartender was super friendly and nice. I have eaten here a few times every time I'm in town for business and will probably be back again. read more

Had a wonderful time here. Food was amazing and the service was even better. Our waiter Mike was very personable and made our dinner experience great.

It's insanely expensive. It's good. I'd go so far as to say it's very good. Heck, I'd even go so far as to say it leans towards excellent but that's where it ends. $100 for a steak with no sides? Who am I? Bobby Darrin? Who can afford this? read more

Ruth Chris is where we go if we want to spoil ourselves with a top quality steak: custom-aged USDA Prime Midwestern beef, to be exact. AMBIANCE: We were greeted at the front desk where we checked in our coats, oriented to the location of the washrooms then introduced to our waiter by name. Dining room is decorated in lots of dark wood, white linen, and low lighting. Our booth was comfy cozy; we sat back and enjoyed listening to a mix of music from the big band era to lively jazz. SERVICE: There were well dressed waiters in white shirts, vests and bow ties. Our waiter addressed us as Mr & Mrs Brandon and seemed genuinely interested in making sure our needs were fully met. Well versed on the menu, he gave us recommendations according to our tastes. Throughout dinner our waiter was pleasant and accommodated all our requests with a smile; later, management made rounds to each table to check on everyone. On the way out the coat check girl offered us a mint, then actually helped us put on our coats. FOOD: - Warm complimentary bread was nice and crusty on the outside but soft on the inside, so good! - Steaks were heralded by the sound of sizzling meat on a hot plate surrounded by melted butter (you can choose to omit the butter). Tender meat was seasoned with just salt and pepper, no need to mask it's taste with sauces or heavy spicing. Seared to perfection and allowed to properly rest: we didn't get a river of blood when we cut into it. Our steaks were tender, juicy and flavourful. - You can't go wrong with either their creamed spinach or their creamy (garlic) mashed potatoes; portions are large enough to share. Their Caesar salad was just ok. - Don't forget to mention if you're celebrating a special occasion. You'll be rewarded with their complimentary, rich and decadent, Chocolate Sin Cake. It had the taste and texture of a chocolate truffle, a perfect pairing with their refillable dark roast coffee. With top notch service, delicious food and wonderful ambiance, it's definitely a place to go to to impress your date or celebrate a special occasion. read more

This is probably the BEST steakhouse i have ever been to. I have seen a lot of good reviews about Ruth's Chris, and when i heard we having dinner there i was pretty excited. When we got there for our 8pm reservation, we were promptly shown to our table. The restaurant has an intimate and old school feel to it. Felt like i was a in a Godfather movie lol. But joking aside the service was exceptional, our server was knowledgable and accomadating. We felt very welcomed. We started of with a couple of cocktails and blue crab cakes which were divine. Then for our main we got the porterhouse steak for two and scalloped potatoes for our side. And for dessert we had creme brulee and cappucino. Old fashioned cocktail: very good cocktail, well rounded with perfect amount of good quality alcohol Blue crab cakes: best crab cakes, you can actually taste the crab meat and not bread crumbs or other fillers that other places use. Porterhouse steak: the BEST steak ive ever had. Big piece of steak, it couldve have served atleast three ppl. Grilled perfect, medium rare, just melted in my mouth (i can still remember that moment as im writting this review). Good marbling and flavourful, each bite was just a like piece of heaven. Scallped potatoes: good side, flavourful, good size portion. Creme Brulee: perfect crust on top, velvety smooth custard. A perfect end to a marvelous night. I cant say how much i loved dining at Ruth's Chris steakhouse. Even though the night was a very expensive event, the experience and food was well worth it. Service was on point and the food just devine. read more

Nothing like a good plate of steak and potatoes and this place has it! The filet was very tender and seasoned perfectly. Mash potatoes had a hint of garlic. Asparagus with hollandaise was cooked impeccably. My only complain was the lobster tail that came with my surf and turf. For $67 I was given what couldn't have been anymore bigger than 3 of my fingers put together. Normally steakhouses you pay a ton but get a ton of food. Enough for a doggy bag at least. This place gave just the right amount of food for 1 sitting. I guess that's great but if that's the case don't charge $67! Total bill for 2 people (2 entrees and 2 sides, no wine or soda $170 with tip) I definitely wouldn't return. For that much money you have to blow me away. They were doing great until I saw that lobster tail however. read more

Ruth's Chris Steak House - My pitiful lobster tail. Couldn't have been larger than 3 fingers together. Steak was awesome. - Steakhouses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Ruth's Chris is located below the ground level at the south east corner of Adelaide W and University Ave at the Hilton Hotel. I like Ruth's. The last time I was at a Ruth's was the newly opened location near the airport exactly 3 months ago to the day we went to visit the Ruth's downtown. Last fall Yelp had an Elite event at this particular Ruth's and this was my first return back to this location where I was introduced to the establishment. During that event we were given the history of Ruth's Chris and Ruth Fertel and as I had mentioned in my review of the airport location, the story is actually pretty fascinating because Ruth did things well ahead of her time. Back to this location however, the downtown Hilton version of Ruth's is far more of a classic and formal decor as opposed to the location at the airport. The airport although more contemporary was in my opinion a bit "nouveau" while the downtown location just feels more like how a good steak house and restaurant should be. Even if you take the decor and ambiance out of the picture the food is still the food. The check in offers a coat check while we were escorted to our table where our one of our party was already waiting. The service is very attentive here and the experience seems to be basically that everybody is there to help and please. I ran into Mike who had been running the show during the Yelp event and he was happy I was back for a visit. Our waiter, Paul knew the menu inside out and was checking in to make sure everything met our expectations. We were 4 so we each ordered our own main and had a few a la carte sides to share. The mushrooms are just so amazing I had to get them again. I don't think I can come to Ruth's and not get the cremini mushrooms to share. Our other side we ended up getting the potatoes au gratin which I hadn't tried before. We also had fries to share as well. While my wife went with the small filet medallions and shrimp this time I decided I'd go off board and go with the T-Bone instead of my standard which is typically one of the types of ribeye. The T-Bone is also a big cut, 22 ounces so basically almost a pound and a half which I ordered medium. I prefer medium or medium rare mostly. There's something about when the plates come out, even if it's not yours and a nearby table's order which is that smell of sizzling butter on those 500 degree hot plates and that sound and smell is just so wow. The T-Bone which was just great through and through from start to finish is a very consistent cut. The round portion while a bit more tender is generally the smaller side of the steak but overall the meat consistency is more solid hearty than the more marbled ribeye. I liked the T-Bone but overall I think I still prefer the ribeye. I had accumulated over 160 points which I had to use soon because the loyalty program points are only good for 90 days and most of those points were from the Black Friday special they had basically offering 50% points back on gift card purchases. I really like Ruth's but it's a special occasion place for me I'd have to say. Generally I think it's the type of place I'd go to maybe once or twice a year instead of say going more often. While I can't say I go out for a steak dinner often, I would much prefer to go do Ruth's than go to the other chains like the Keg, Canyon Creek, Chop, etc. Paul was a great for taking care of us and this place just feels overwhelmingly special overall. The airport location may be just minutes away from home but I prefer the downtown location because I like the atmosphere better. read more

Celebrated wife's birthday here last night, for a quick dinner before catching a show downtown. I've been to Ruth's Chris steak house in the states, but never visited this location in Toronto. Reservation was easy, called on my way and our table was ready when we arrived after 30/45 minutes. Parking is a little challenging, just like anywhere in Downtown, but there are several underground structures that connects through the building. Ruth Chris's is a high-end steakhouse, great for business meetings, dates, special occasions and casual dinners. The steak is one of the best in the city, I can't remember any other steakhouse that beats this quality. The steaks were ordered Medium-Rare, and it couldn't be done any better! Rich in flavour, sizzling in garlic butter sauce, it makes you crave for more! Service is on point & professional, while the place was very busy, servers kept everything under control and everything arrived on a timely manner. As a birthday gift, the restaurant brought us a nice piece of Chocolate moose cake labeled 'Happy Birthday'! this would be a favourite new spot whenever i'm in the city. read more

This was my first Ruth Chris experience and it was a poor one to say the least. First of when I got to the restaurant I was waiting for almost 20 minutes before I was given a table even after making reservations. The server we had was decent, but barely came around to ask how the food was or how everything was going. The food itself was probably the worst part of the meal. I ordered the New York steak with sweet potatoes and peacan as my side. The steak itself was over cooked and came medium well when I ordered medium rare. Not a huge deal for me, but my mashed sweet potatoes and peacans had bits of plastic wrap stuck inside the potatoes. I decided to complain about it and the server simply took it back to the kitchen and had it removed and brought it back. No substitute or even another side was brought out! They did give a slice of cake at the end of the meal, but I was a bit turned off the food at that point. To be honest I've had better meals at the Keg, Montana's or even a Hungry Man Meal better than what this was. Needless to say I was disappointed for a meal that was at this particular price point. read more

Winterlicious & VDay = Ruth's Chris Best choice ever to celebrate an early vday with the boyfriend. It was one of the best experiences we've had in a while. The atmosphere was really elegant and beautiful. For my starter, I had the Lobster Bisque, there was little bites of lobster floating around, however I was not a fan of the flavor. My 6oz medium rare steak filet was on a sizzling hot plate with butter. The steak juts melted in my mouth and it hands down the best tasting steak I have ever had. Cheesecake is by far my favorite dessert ever and the crust was sooooo good. It definitely cured my craving for sweets. Overall this was the best experience I've had in a really long time. I would definitely recommend coming here. read more

The restaurant is located in the basement of the building, you'd have to click R in the elevator to get to the floor. The service was amazing, our waiter was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the valentine's day special, which was a set course of 3 items. I ordered the ahi tuna as the appetizer, the 11 oz rib eye for main and the set dessert option. The ahi tuna was okay, a bit dry and soaked in wasabi infused dip. The Rib eye tasted amazing, however, it was completely lacking on the presentation side. It was served over a sizzling hot plate of oil/butter, but when you put hot food over oil/butter, it just splatters everywhere. Basically my plate was a mosaic of butter and oil stains over a white plate. Overall, I think the steak itself was great, however, would i pay that kind of pricing for that presentation? Maybe not. read more

I had ordered the stuffed chicken breast and it was phenomenal. This meal was probably one of my favorite. The chicken was tender and the cheese just melted in my mouth. I would give this meal a 5/5. The reason why I'm giving this place a 4/5 is because the steaks were very average. I wasn't impressed with it at all. The steaks were too chewy to me. I wouldn't spend that much on average steak. But, I would definitely recommend the stuffed chicken breast. read more

Any place with it's own elevator should definitely be visited by all! I mean who doesn't want to take a private elevator down to the restaurant? We came here for Winterlicious 15 and I'm so very glad we did! I enjoyed this place very much and the flavours and smells will make your tastebuds dance for joy. The caesar salad was very flavourful for a caesar salad. Now, the entree dishes come out sizzling and trust me this is not just a form of expression. They legit sizzle at your table. So don't touch the plate! Sadly, I accidentally did later on in the dinner and boy did I regret that! I ordered the stuffed chicken breast and it was pretty good! I would prefer more stuffing of the herb garlic cream cheese. My fiancee had the Filet and it was mouth watering delicious! So tender and it just melted in your mouth. The desert was very good. I kept hearing about the chocolate sin cake, so I ordered that! However, it was way to chocolatey (is that even a word?) Thankfully, our waiter Glenn was amazing and allowed me to switch out to the cheesecake. So yummy! Final verdict? Love this place! It's a must try! read more

So about 5 years ago I had to go to Canada to sort something out at the local US embassy. It was February and it was super cold! My phone doesn't work abroad so I checked food options nearby in the hotel when I had WiFi and set off to Ruth's Chris. After wandering the frozen tundra for 15 minutes I arrived but it was closed lol. So when I returned to Toronto over this past weekend I felt like I had to go back and dragged my fiancé with me. I *really* wanted to like it because of the funny story 5 years ago. So the main letdown has nothing to do with the steakhouse but some Canadian law about hamburgers having to be cooked to DEATH beyond any CPR despite cheese or mayo toppings. (Strangely serving beef tartare is OK, Canada?) My fiancé said though that this was beyond medium well. It was tough like a hockey puck - for 25 dollars. I could barely chew it. As other people mentioned - the location underground, no windows etc. is a little bit dark. But what really makes me write this review is the service. My fiancé and I were seated at the bar. The bar tender working Friday night was very rude and condescending, Caucasian lady with long brown hair in a pony tail. We were there for an hour or so and she took our order and that was IT. She never came back to ask us if we wanted another round of drinks or ask if we were enjoying our food. She was avoiding us on purpose. Even when we tried to make eye contact she pretended not to see it. At some point my fiancé went to the restroom and told me to get him another scotch while he was gone but as you can guess - she ignored my attempts at placing another drink order. I don't know why she treated us like that while towards the end of our stay she was chatting with two men at the other end of the bar but her behavior was very passive-aggressive and rude. When in Toronto - find some airy space with a nice view and nice service. Especially in this price range I do not tolerate being treated like this. read more

My wife and I have been loyal Ruth patrons since we first visited the Honolulu location. Having always enjoyed exceptional food and service in Honolulu, we were expecting nothing less than the same quality in Toronto. Sadly, that was not the case; we were sorely disappointed by Toronto's Ruth's Chris (Hilton location). We made a reservation for our anniversary expecting a lovely evening, but from beginning to end the restaurant staff ruined the experience. First, management would not allow us to switch from a table to a booth. The table we were seated at had both a wobbly chair and table. The manager was very abrupt and rude in declining our request to move and simply accommodated a new chair expecting that this would solve the problem. It did not. The table still wobbled. Secondly, our server Malcolm did not live up to expectations. By this I mean, gratuity was prefixed by the set Valentine's week menu. We felt Malcolm did not even want to make any efforts to service us. He did not offer us a single refill until after we had already finished our entire meal by which point the refill was uselessly sitting on the table. Even worse is how he waited until after we were finished eating dessert to ask us if we wanted coffee with our dessert. This did not even make sense to ask us. Moreover, Malcolm neglected to read our notes from our reservation indicating our anniversary. Luckily the bus boy Henry was more than happy to pass along the message (although Henry disappointed us as well because he did not even ask if we wanted to take our leftover creamed spinach home - he threw out our entire dish without asking first). While Henry was busy refilling our water glass several times throughout the night, Malcolm barely attended our table at all. Instead, we seen Malcolm appeared busy and making more efforts attending to other 4 party tables - who we could clearly see did not order the prefixed gratuity menu option. It was apparent by that fact alone why he was not even concerned about servicing us. Finally, the food itself was a problem because we had to send it back to the kitchen. While this is not the waiter's fault, it is a problem with the chefs. We ordered medium tomahawk and half the steak came out rare! This should never happen at a reputable steakhouse. Overall, we were shocked that Ruth's Chris Toronto could let us down like this. read more

Yes, it's a chain. Yes, I can get it in the US. Doesn't matter. This Ruth's Chris was what we needed after a few days in Toronto. Fantastic service. Delicious cocktails. Amazing food. I have nothing bad or "constructive" to say about Ruth's Chris. This place is simply amazing and what I love is that no matter where I eat at one be it New Orleans, St. Louis, Toronto, Chicago it's always the most impeccable service. You always feel special at a Ruth's Chris, it doesn't matter how many other large parties are being housed at the time. You are always special here. And that's a rarity in these times. This Toronto location was even a step above the others in terms of service. We weren't dressed like we belonged, but that didn't stop the excellent service and wonderful recommendations for places in the area to visit. read more

I was feeling a little excited since it has been a while my boyfriend took me out for a fancy dinner. I was honestly a bit disappointed that their entrance was so hidden; it's a red door tucked away in the corner of the hotel lobby. Once we went inside, lots of staff greeted us (good sign) but my smile quickly dropped when they brought us to a tiny booth. I asked if there was coat check, unfortunately there was none. I barely had any room to place my purse and jacket, and to top it off, there was constant wind coming out of some ventilation gate at the top. I'm not going to deduct points out of the infrastructure, but they are definitely not getting 5 stars for this. Our waitress was quite nice, greeted us quickly and served us warm bread. It took a while for her to return and grab our orders but that's cool with us. I ordered the $60 dinner menu that included an appetizer, entree (steak and shrimp), and dessert - I think that was fairly priced. My boyfriend got a steak and I topped everything off with a cocktail. Their cocktails are a little on the pricey side, but it's not going to break your bank (you are all spending $200+). The salad was a big letdown. I have no idea why they plated the salad with 3 grape tomatoes by the bottom edge. It's like a misunderstood art piece. There was nothing special about the salad except that I like how they served it with cheese at the top. Really mediocre salad that could easily be mistaken as an appetizer served by Pizza Hut. Like many others have noted, my boyfriend and I appreciated the fact that our steaks came in sizzling hot plates. Once again, I don't know what their chefs were thinking but the plating was totally off. I'm not comparing them to chefs from Final Plate (my recent obsession on Netflix), but dude wipe the edges so it looks neat. Why are the shrimps placed like lazy decorations on the plate? It's so ugly. I think it's fair to say that we have a standard set of expectations when we are paying such a high price for steak. The steak itself was awesome. While I had ordered a medium rare, I felt it was more on the rare side. Sadly, only 85% of the steak was yummy because the other side was cooked a tad too much. I believe they had made a booboo there, you can see in my photos. I forgot to mention that the bread was delicious and you should order seconds lols. As for the dessert, it was honestly a bite-sized cheesecake. It was too sweet for my own preference, but I would say it's okay. They topped it off with a generous amount of whipped cream, and it wasn't a sloppy dessert that was tasteless. The ice cream to the side was a nice addition. read more

Ruth's Chris Steak House - Steakhouses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Saturday night was a night for celebrations and wanted to do something different and a bit classy for my special occasion. I decided to give one of Toronto's top steakhouses a try (seeing as I've never been before). Located just off of the lobby of the Toronto Hilton (at Richmond and University Ave) you enter into Ruth's world after a very short ride down their special elevator. The moment the doors open you're thrust into a steak house from yester-years. The wood trim, the elegant tapestries, the table set ups, everything was the best of the best and very impressive. Once seated we opened the menu to explore the treasures that awaited us inside - what a menu! Steaks, lobster, chicken, appetizers, fish, anything you want was here, this would be a night to throw calorie counts and healthy eating out the window, it was time to get decadent. While looking through the menu we ordered a couple of cocktails. I went for the Mint Julep and my date ordered a strawberry-basil smash of sorts. My mint julep wasn't quite up to par with some of the best I'd had, I felt the mint hadn't been properly muddled to release its flavours, also the ice used was incorrect so the result ended up being a bourbon heavy, watered down cocktail. That said the strawberry-basil drink was fantastic all the way through. For dinner we decided to share a starter and went with the BBQ Shrimp appetizer. It came with 6-7 shrimp served in a row. The shrimp were perfectly cooked (so they popped when you first bit into them) and coated in a delicious bright tasting sauce. Then came the best part of the meal - the sizzle. Yes, the ads for Ruth's Chris Steakhouse are true, from the moment you walk in all you can hear is the sizzle. The sizzle of steaks, fish filet and chicken, being served on 500 degree plates sitting in a little butter. Each time a plate comes out, you know someone is about to have a great night because of the sizzle. My date had the aforementioned salmon filet and the portion was easily more than either of us could have eaten - my date did anyway. But my meal is what I was the most excited about, the gorgeous, marbled, juicy ribeye. Amazing. That's all I can say. To share we split sides of potato au gratin and asparagus (served with a proper sized bowl of hollandaise sauce on the side). Both of these dishes were incredible, I'm still salivating while thinking about the three cheese sauce blend the potatoes were cooked in. As we were wrapping up our meal, our server surprised us with a complimentary slice of cake which had "Happy 1st Anniversary" written in chocolate on the plate - so incredible! I believe this was the chocolate sin cake. Our server was top notch, incredibly knowledgeable and the perfect balance between attentive and giving us our space. Top shelf from top to bottom - I cannot wait to return. Thank you Ruth's Chris for making our night extra special (and extra delicious). Eatcrest Out! read more

The various 'Licious meals is always a hit and miss in terms of quality and service, but Ruth Chris delivers on both! The restaurant is on the second floor, so there is a elevator on the main level entrance to take you up to the right level. The atmosphere is a throw back to old school dining, with attentive waiters, full linen and little touches of elegance. Their specialty is steak and they have mastered it. Our steaks were made perfectly to our request and served on a hot plate to ensure a warm peice of meat throughout the dining experience. Definitely worth the visit if you want steak done the right way. read more
