Crème Brûlée
Shilisa D.

Ruth's Chris used to be the place for fine dining but it has gone down hill. The service is mediocre and slow. The food quality has diminished significantly. The servers try to do their best with what they have to work with, most of them provide good service. The salad has too many stems in it. The sweet potato casserole has too much breading, and the spinach is stringy. The crème brûlée taste like pudding. The filet size has gotten smaller and the filet lack the flavor it used to have. I hope it gets better because I use to enjoy dining here but for the price they need to do better.

I attended my birthday dinner at Ruth's Chris. We made a reservation online which was pretty simple. When we arrived we were able to get a nice table in a more private room. The restaurant was festive with nice Christmas decor and a dimly lit ambiance!! The room we were in only had 4 tables, so we appreciated the privacy. Our main waiters were Tony, Andy, and Jonathan (his name wasn't what was on his name tag, I forgot his correct name). Tony started off telling us his recommendations and we ordered a bottle and some glasses of wine. There was a $138 special for the bottle. I don't drink but I did sip the Shea Pinot Noir, it was a very dry wine. It probably would have been better paired with something. My daughter's boyfriend really enjoyed it though, with his steak. The Rosa Regale wine was very smooth and sweet. It was actually good. If I drank I'd prefer this. We started off with bread and butter, and calamari. The calamari was really good. I enjoyed it. I'd definitely ask for it to be fried hard next time. But it was seasoned well and the lemon made it even better. We ordered the stuffed chicken Oscar style, pork chop, tomahawk steak, steak and shrimp, au gratin potatoes, mashed potatoes, asparagus, brussel sprouts, and etc. The stuffed chicken was good, it went well with the au gratin potatoes. It was topped with a small crab cake and bernaise sauce, which wasn't bad. It just wasn't my favorite. I wish the chicken had a cranberry sauce or something to go with it. That would have really elevated it for me. The brussel sprouts were tasty also, they had bacon in them. The pork chop came with apples on top , which were pretty tasty as well. The tomahawk steak was $175, it was the most expensive steak I've ever had. But you could definitely tell it was better quality. It was tender and it paired well with the side of mushrooms. My daughters stuffed shrimp were appetizing. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We had plenty of leftovers afterwards. The sides are shareable, so maybe discussing it prior to ordering would make more sense to cut down on the cost. We didn't do that. Lol. Afterwards Tony put some confetti on the table for my birthday, which I think was a nice touch. We ordered chocolate ganache cakes, cheesecake, raspberry sorbet, and coffee for dessert. The presentation was very nice. The cakes were a big portion, so I'd definitely recommend sharing the desserts. They're a good size. My daughter enjoyed the sorbet. It was tangy and fruity! The raspberry sauce for the cheesecake is normally really good, but it was slightly sour on this day for some reason. Our server Tony was very attentive. Him, Andy and the other servers kept our drinks full. Tony was very nice and funny the whole night. I really enjoyed all of them. Afterwards when our food was boxed up, there were a few mix ups. Once Brian the GM found out some of us had each others food when we got home, he was very accommodating and fixed the issue with no problems. They remade the mixed up items and allowed me to pick them up on a different day of my choice. Which I appreciated. Brian was very professional and friendly!! There were several people boxing the food up, so I understand how the mixup happened. We were happy with the resolution. All in all it was a nice dinner and a real vibe. Although everyone was nice Tony really was great!! I'd definitely recommend them for a celebratory dinner. The food is a bit pricey, but we enjoyed ourselves. Our final bill with tip was $1075. The service we received kept me from crying about the cost. Lol. Check them out!!

Food was delicious 10/10! Everything tastes amazing and was served so beautifully! The service was also great very courteous friendly and it was quick at the beginning. For our dessert sadly it looks like they took it to the wrong table and we ended up waiting about 15-20 minutes for the dessert but the wait was worth it because that classic cheesecake was to die for! The restaurant was also very elegant and perfectly lit for a romantic dinner!

Ruth's Chris Steak House is located in the Town Center area of Virginia Beach. There is limited street parking, but there are parking garages here and the Green Parking Garage is the closest one to the business. My visit here was on October 31, 2025. I've been to Town Center numerous times, but have never been to Ruth's Chris. My mom and I both came here on this visit based on an ad for hearing about a program available, so the cost was covered by the company sponsoring this event. This review is centered on the aspects of the visit regarding the staff, food and so forth. The entrance to the restaurant is on the second floor. There is an escalator that you can use to get up there. There is also an elevator to get up there as well. This restaurant is more upscale, so business casual to elegant attire is required, which is noted next to the entrance doors. When we came in, we looked around a bit as we weren't sure where to go. A few moments later, someone came by and they helped us get to the room we wanted to get to. At the tables, there was a set menu of items you could choose from. The first course was the Steak House Salad. For the entree, you had three options to choose from. The sides were Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Fresh Broccoli. The dessert would be the Classic Cheesecake. The first part was to get an overview of the presentation that day. After 15 minutes or so, servers came around asking what our choice would be for the main course. I chose the Garlic-Herb Cheese Stuffed Chicken and my mom chose the Classic Petite Filet. They brought out their bread to the tables. Around 11:30 am, the Steak House Salads came out to the tables. It looked really good, and when I had it, it was great, even though I don't normally do salad dressings. Shortly after finishing the salad, the sides came out to the tables, followed by the main course chosen. The Garlic-Herb Cheese Stuffed Chicken was amazing. There was plenty of flavor to it and really hit the spot. My mom noted the same thing with her Classic Petite Filet. After having those parts of the lunch, the next hour or so was the presentation that brought us here in the first place. Once that part was completed, the final course came around, which was the Classic Cheesecake. The cheesecake was really good, and is something I don't normally have. Overall, Ruth's Chris Steak House was really good. I know it would be pretty pricey on a regular basis, which is why I hadn't been here before until this. I may consider coming here for a personal special event reason in the future though. The food and service were awesome. If you are looking for a more upscale place to have a meal, this place is worth checking out.

My wife and I went here for a happy hour and had a great experience. Caleb is a great server who made sure that my water was regularly filled and that my order was done correctly, to the T! I ordered the burger and fries cooked medium-rare with half the slice of Swiss cheese on the burger and the other half on the side which I then boxed to-go. I really appreciated my server and cook's attentiveness to my order as I'm trying to be mindful of my salt and saturated fat intake. As a dietitian I frequently encourage my patients to advocate for themselves when eating out and ask for Heart Healthy requests (i.e cheese and dressings in the side, no salt on fries, etc.). Caleb made it easy to ask for what I needed. Also, the burger was cooked to order tasted excellent! My half slice of Swiss cheese melted great and was plenty to cover my burger. I'll definitely be back!

Happy Hour Menu

We had a quiet dinner tonight at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in the Town Center of Virginia Beach. We arrived at 5pm and we were fortunate enough to grab a couple of seats at the bar. Brendan the bartender was very pleasant and helpful with menu questions and suggestions. We started out with Seared Ahi Tuna on the Happy Hour Menu for $15. This was a generous portion and it was beautifully plated, and lightly seared, just the way I like it. My Wife had the Spicy Shrimp, also on the Happy Hour Menu for $16. They were incredibly delicious, served piping hot and she enjoyed them very much. For Dinner, she had the Chilean Sea Bass served with spinach. It was beautifully plated with so good! The crust on top was a nice touch where they use a Parmesan blended with some spices to make this incredible flavor. I had a 6oz Filet Mignon served with 3 grilled shrimp. I enjoyed it very much as well. You know what you are getting when you visit Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, quality steaks, seafood and more coupled with outstanding service.

My first time going to a Ruth's Chris Steak House. We received excellent service while we were there. They were very attentive but not overbearing. We got the petite 8 ounce steak and also the chef special 16 ounce ribeye with the crab on top and mushrooms, mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole for the side. If you like sweet, the sweet potato casserole is amazing, and if you don't mind, mushrooms, the roasted mushrooms are so damn good! The mashed potatoes are just okay. The wine was great though. One of my coworkers mentioned that they received very poor service while it was really busy so your mileage may vary. Because we got there early in the evening, they open at 4 PM, we had a 4:45 reservation and it was only about a quarter full. But the food was amazing. The service was really good while we were there. Ambience was nice but in my opinion everything was a little bit overpriced. We paid roughly $300 for the bill. I think if you're willing to spend that kind of money then this is a great place to go for the food and experience but if you just want some good steaks, there are many other cheaper options that can deliver as well.

The Bar

Drove 1 1/2 hours to eat here with a party of six and was turned away. Went to Ruth's Chris instead and were welcomed with open arms. Andrea was an amazing server and made our experience great. Unfortunately, this changed my opinion of this restaurant.

Finally made it to Ruth Chris. It was cool to see what it was all about, but not our cup of tea. Was it nice inside with tasty food...yes! Was it worth the money? I don't feel it was, especially if you have decent cooking skills of your own. I am not trying to knock it, but I would (and did just a week prior) prefer to buy a good-quality steak or salmon and make it myself. We just felt it wasn't anything special for what you were paying for. Now I will say, the sides are what stole the show for us. They were delicious and a good portion of it. This restaurant seems to be great for a business write-off or to have that "dining experience." However, a one-and-done is probably what this would be for us. It was nice to have the experience and say we've been to "Ruth Chris" though.

First time at this location I've been to other locations. They are definitely a chain restaurant and the standards are across-the-board are the same. Went for a mid week lunch there was some sort of special that they were offering so I decided to give this location a try. The restaurant was not too busy. They were plenty of servers for the amount of people that were in the restaurant. The server was very attentive. He came right over and shared with us the specials, and even explain to us the different dishes that they offer. I of course had to order the filet mignon because of course it is Ruth Chris you know you have to get a fillet. The steak was cooked to perfection. It was very flavorful. The fries were nice and crispy. They also had good flavor. The salad was a side salad a Caesar salad. It was your typical salad nothing fancy. All in all the meal was great and I'm sure I will be back again.

This was our first visit, but it certainly won't be our last. We were fortunate to grab two seats at the bar--our favorite place to dine--and from the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller, which arrived piping hot. The oysters were large, flavorful, and perfectly prepared--a wonderful way to begin the evening. Our Caesar salads followed shortly thereafter. Crisp romaine, fresh ingredients, and a well-balanced dressing made for another excellent course. For our entrées, we both chose the steak and lobster tail. My wife paired hers with the grilled asparagus, while I opted for the loaded mashed potatoes. Every component of the meal was cooked exactly as ordered, seasoned beautifully, and absolutely delicious. To top off the evening, the staff surprised my wife with a complimentary slice of cake garnished with fresh strawberries and mixed berries to help celebrate her birthday. It was a thoughtful gesture that made an already memorable evening feel even more special. Prime 757 delivered exceptional food, outstanding service, and a warm atmosphere that made my wife's birthday celebration one we'll remember for a long time.

This go round, Steinhilber's came to mind because I hadn't been in over 10 years, when I attended a tasting event here. Steinhilber's has been around since 1939, and it's easy to see how they've stood the test of time. The restaurant sits in a gorgeous waterfront area in Virginia Beach, not too far from Town Center. The setting alone makes it feel like you're going somewhere special for dinner. We went on a Sunday, and there was a bit of a wait for an inside table. However, for our group of four, there was no wait at all to sit outside. The weather was beautiful, there was a nice breeze coming off the waterfront, and they have umbrellas that provide plenty of shade. Honestly, sitting outside ended up being a great choice. The staff here is also incredibly polite. You can tell they've been trained in fine dining etiquette, and everyone we interacted with was professional and attentive. They were very accommodating with every inquiry and request my family and I had throughout the evening. Now for the food! The thing I remembered most from my visit over 10 years ago was how delicious their fried shrimp were, so of course I had to order them again. I'm happy to report that they were just as delicious as I remembered! Crispy, flavorful, and even better paired with their signature "Steiny's Sauce." The twice baked potato was also delicious, and I added a side of creamed spinach, which was pretty good as well. All in all, Steinhilber's is a great restaurant with good food, gorgeous ambiance, and excellent customer service. There's a reason they've stood the test of time. My family and I really enjoyed our meals here, and I'm glad I finally made my way back after all these years!

As a military spouse, I knew my time in the 757 was for a good time, not a long time. One place that kept coming up was Steinhilber's. After checking out the menu (and the price point), I learned that Steinhilber's makes a great special-occasion dinner. Steinhilber's is Virginia Beach's oldest continuously operating restaurant; Robert Steinhilber opened it in 1939. His daughter, Jeanne, and his grandson, Brady, still own it. So last week, for our wedding anniversary, we made reservations and were pleasantly surprised by the valet, a nice feature given that most of the parking lot is gravel and the wet weather made the ground quite muddy. The ambiance was elegant; the waitstaff wore white coats. We were seated with a view of the water. Here is what we ordered: * Apps: Famous fantail fried shrimp with signature dipping sauce - three ($13) and She Crab Soup - $15 * Drinks: Maple Old Fashioned and Ginger Ale * Entrees: Lobster Ravioli prepared from scratch with a light seafood fumé $42 and duck breast with roasted veggies and leek $37 * Sides: Creamed Spinach - $10 and Twice Baked Potato - $7 * Desserts: Creme Brulee $17 and Chambord Truffle Lava Cake served with vanilla ice cream - $13 The fried shrimp tasted great with the signature dipping sauce. The She Crab Soup was creamy and thick, with lumps of crab. I enjoyed the lobster ravioli and creamed spinach. The twice-baked potato was quite plain. Hubby was a big fan of the maple Old Fashioned; he wished he hadn't ordered the duck medium, since it was a bit chewy. The crème brûlée's creaminess and the lava cake's richness made a perfect end to the evening. As we wrapped up our meal, we overheard that the couple next to us was celebrating the same anniversary as us: 40 years for them and three years for us. They mentioned that they come to Steinhilber's for many anniversaries, and now that I have visited... I can see why.

It was challenging to find parking but thankfully, we were able to find a spot right in the front. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and were seated right away. With it being lunch time, we assumed we would be able to grab some lunch but to our surprise, they were serving brunch and we were only able to order off the brunch menu. We were slightly confused and definitely didn't have taste for breakfast items so we had to choose from a small selection of non-breakfast items. We started with Palomas. The drink menu only included the drink prices for Happy Hour, and it definitely wasn't Happy Hour, so we weren't sure how much the drinks were. The server mentioned one price, then came back and told us another price but either way, all that would've been eliminated if the prices were on the menu. After looking over the brunch menu, my friend didn't see anything appetizing so she asked if they could make a BLT Sandwich, which wasn't on the menu, and they agreed. I decided on the Crab Cake Sandwich. The food was served in decent time. My friend had an end piece of tomato on her sandwich, which was disappointing. Our server took her sweet time checking on us so and we literally had to flag down another server just to get ketchup. My sandwich didn't even come with remoulade sauce that was supposed to be added. I did enjoy my sandwich though, it was very tasty. I also ordered the Bourbon Glaze Wings 'to-go' and they were delicious. From not being able to order from a lunch menu, to our server not being attentive at all, our experience wasn't that great. We also had to battle flies the entire time we were there, and we were sitting inside so that was a bit frustrating. The restaurant is located right by the Marina and it has great views but the service left a lot to be desired. I may return for dinner in hopes of a better experience but it probably won't be any time soon.

Overall, this was a great experience. If I'm back in Virginia Beach, I'll definitely be stopping by again to try some of the other items on the menu. This is a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for good seafood and good people.

The lobster roll is the star of the show--tender, juicy, buttery perfection piled into a soft roll like it knows exactly how important it is. I will say, the amount of lobster seems to have slimmed down a little over the years...maybe an ounce or so? And yes, I noticed. I have photographic evidence! I've been sending pictures of these glorious lobster rolls to my sister for years purely to rub this delicacy in her face, so I basically have my own unofficial lobster-roll archive. The crinkle-cut fries are another must, especially with a little Old Bay sprinkled on top. That tiny dusting takes them from "good fries" to "hand me another basket immediately." And don't sleep on the fried shrimp platter. The shrimp are plentiful, nicely seasoned, and consistently one of my favorites when I somehow manage to order something besides lobster. I've had the whoopie pies. I've had the Snap Dogs. They're perfectly fine, I'm sure. But this body was not built on "perfectly fine." This body was built on the REALLY good stuff. LOBSTER.
