    Excellent Mashed Potato!
    Robert B.

    Great interior and ambiance! It is an old school steakhouse vibe. Service was Professional and attentive. Steaks were good. I appreciated VERY Much they let my friend and I share a steak, and sliced it for us. Classy place, but expect to spend some. Recommend!

    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!

    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.

    Caesars salad

    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.

    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.

    New York Strip and lobster Mac and cheese

    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. We ordered the 16oz New York strip which we shared between two of us. We also got the lobster Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes on the side which were very healthy portions

    THE original Ruth Chris. RIP Madame Chris, our taste buds thank you.

    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.

    BEST steakhouse
    Jonas R.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Kids love the word "aura" these days, and when my dad asked me what it means I told him "think Soho…read moreHouse 2010-2014." That confused him more but I like messing with my dad. Forreal though, the run Soho House had can only be rivaled by 2011-2015 Whole Foods. You really had to be there... but like any other prime, Father Time always catches up. I was set to do a full rise and fall piece on the Soho House right here on Yelp but in my research, I stumbled upon an article by Lydia Moynihan in the NY Post and she nailed it. I really didn't have much to add so go over and read that if you have a sec. Shoutout to Lydia. Instead, I'll just recap our experience here like any other boring Yelp Review. We came to this Toronto location before the Taylor Swift concert, and I was pleasantly surprised. It felt like prime Soho House. A beautiful, discrete brick building with an old school interior. Whoever designed this one needs a raise. I'm so tired of the cookie cutter half-assed modern architecture. The ones in LA and NY now feel like it is just a bunch of dorks trying to be seen by God knows who. There is no soul in those locations. We grabbed a drink in the lobby and went upstairs for our 5pm dinner. I domed a couple of negronis and we split a margherita pizza and a bottle of pinot noir before our mains arrived. I got the rigatoni, per the waitresses recommendation because she had a thick Italian accent. Big truss. She wasn't lying either, that rigatoni went crazy. I took like 30 pictures before a staff member came over and said no pictures, as I didn't know that was still a rule here... please don't beat me up. We closed dinner with a couple espresso martinis before setting off on foot to go see Big Tay put on a show. She really did her thing. Thank you Soho House Toronto, for giving me a taste of what the Soho House used to be in the states. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

Truly designed for today's busy d-bag to allow them to half listen to their guest over cocktails while they scan the room to see if someone more important has walked in. The food is meh and it feels like this place simply exists for indie film and local television producers to feel like they are a part of some scene. There are 200 better places to eat a short walk from here.

They decorate the lobby, bar area, and the whole main floor with Christmas decorations during the holiday season, including the giant Christmas tree in the lobby (complete with its own lighting ceremony and live music performance). Good selection of drinks and great customer service. Fun facts: The Royal York Hotel opened in 1929. It hosted royalty, heads of state, and golden-age Hollywood legends like Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock when they were in town filming or staying upstairs in the hotel. Stepping inside is like time-traveling back decades, with velvet seating, brass accents, and dark, moody lighting. As soon as you walk into the Library Bar, the real centerpiece that grabs your attention is the massive oil portrait above the fireplace. That dignified gentleman watching you sip your drink is George Locke, the very first chief librarian of the Toronto Public Library. I love that a librarian is the patron saint of this bar! The drinks here aren't just cocktails; they're chapters in a story. The current menu, titled "Ink & Alchemy," is actually inspired by Michael Ondaatje's famous novel In the Skin of a Lion. Created by their award-winning mixologist James Grant, the menu is a tribute to the people who built this city: the immigrants, bridge-builders, thieves, and dreamers. You aren't just sipping a martini; you're drinking a liquid homage to Toronto's history.

The gnocchi could have been softer but the sauce and shaved truffle was perfect. I also got a side steak which was grilled to perfection and had a wonderful herb crust and deep flavor. It came with some nice light micro greens. We also got the one burger with their signature logo on the bun. It came out piping hot with fresh crunchy veggies and crispy well seasoned fries.

    Food/Drinks: This was our first time in Toronto, and this restaurant was located directly inside of…read morethe hotel that we were staying in. The drinks and the food were very average, not too strong at all when it came to the drinks, and the food wasn't out of this world but good. The presentation for both the food and the drinks was pretty nice. Location: The location was directly within the entrance of the hotel, which made it very convenient for us to grab something to eat, especially the first night since we got here a little late. You can lounge in this location, and some people are dressed up, but some people are casual who are also within this hotel. I'm not sure about parking on the regular since we did parking through the hotel as well. Service: The biggest reason as to why I gave it a three-star is because one of the bartenders was very unfriendly, and to be honest, it could have been because it was nighttime, but it really threw us off because you hear how nice Canadians are, and to be honest, the majority of the places that we went to afterward were exactly what people say and how nice they were except for this location. One of the bartenders was a guy, and he was just very straightforward, did not smile at us, and honestly, when I asked certain questions about the menu, he responded with comments as if I should know what the menu means. I just didn't like his attitude at all, and it really threw me off, but because we had a voucher through the hotel, it's the only reason why we gave it a go for the first night and didn't end up going back the remainder of the time that we were there.

    I came here for weekend brunch this afternoon and ordered the steak and eggs. The steak was just…read moreokay -- it was fairly tender but lacked flavour and didn't have a nice crust, which was a bit disappointing. On the positive side, the hash browns were excellent: perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I also tried the lychee and cactus pear juice, but unfortunately it tasted quite artificial and wasn't to my liking. The restaurant itself is modern, clean, and nicely designed with comfortable seating. Service was a highlight -- our server was very attentive and friendly throughout the meal. Overall, the experience was good thanks to the atmosphere and service, but the food didn't really stand out for me, so I don't think I'd return specifically for the brunch.

    I really wanted to try out this restaurant because of how hyped it is on online and the food looked…read moregood but i knew it wasn't going to be amazing. I got to the special steak cut of the day which was a bone in rib eye. It was 32oz and good to share with 1-2 people. I also got the truffle butter with it and would skip on that as well. I would just skip the steak as there was nothing special, i mean it's not a steakhouse but i'm a little sad. The sides were good. and the pizza was good too. Service was just meh, my server wasn't that very attentive but maybe he was having a hard day. This restaurant is only worth it if you're going for the ambiance, appetizers and drinks.

    We go here whenever we don't want to cook. The food, service, and ambiance is super consistent. The…read morefood is tasty and good happy hour out of most happy hours in the area! Great for lunches, especially during patio season when the third floor roof is open. At night, it's moody and dark, lit by candles on the table and the tvs at every corner with sports playing or generic videos. Dishes that I always get are the creole blackened chicken, avocado kale salad and truffle fries. The sunset soda is also a great, cheap and low calorie drink. Honorable food mentions are their featured (at the time) crab dip and the salmon aburi sushi.

    This was not our first time at a Cactus Club but this was the first time at this one. As expected…read moreit did not disappoint. It was a Sunday night , the day after Valentine's Day and it was packed. Good thing we had reservations. Despite how busy it was we were seated right away and our server Sarah was an absolute gem. Our drinks came out quickly and well made. They have a great wine list and we took advantage of it. So, ambience - check. Service - check. But it was the food that blew us away I started with the Wagyu carpaccio that emma's to die for. Just perfect with the crostinis. The my wife had the avocado bowl with salmon and I had the mushroom striploin. Both meals just freaking delicious- these folks have it down to a science and the food was off the charts. Some people may disagree because it's a chain restaurant but when they hit on all cylinders, which they have every time we've been there, it's awesome. Cactus Club - highly highly recommended. Ask for Sarah - she is amazing.
