    While looking for a restaurant in the area to dine with a friend, came across an offer for a 3-course menu for $55. I thought that would be a great deal and it turned out to be rightly so! The restaurant is right off the highway with plenty of free parking available. Valet parking is also an option. I made a reservation and mentioned that it was for a birthday celebration and we were greeted with a happy birthday and some confetti was sprinkled on our table. I thought it was a discreet and yet very special greeting. We started with the bread that was absolutely warm and delicious. Our house salad had a fantastic dressing and it was really good. As for the steak, I went for medium with mashed potatoes and perfect! My friend likes her steaks well done and she said it was one the best cooked steaks she had ever had and despite being well done that it was still tender inside. For dessert they provided a small cheesecake that it was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. There are a few separate dining rooms in the restaurant so you never feel crowded. It was a busy night yet service did not offer. We had Shawn checked-in on us and provided overall good service. There is some soft background music playing in the background that does not distract conversation.

    I was staying very close to this restaurant. Since I already had food plans I came here for some drinks. I walk in the place is very nice like most Ruth Chris steakhouses are! I hit the bar and order a pomegranate martini. It was very delicious. The drink was $17 and very reasonable. I watched some Celtics play and was there for about an hour. I wish I was there longer. No complaints at all! I will definitely be back.

    My steak was great. Sides were tasty. Service was solid enough. Ambiance was very Americana core. No complaints.

    Great steak cooked to perfection

    OK, so the only downside to this place is parking, but once inside, the traditional Ruth's Chris quality kicks in. Unlike many steak houses I have visited, this one has draft beer on tap. I started with a Wormtown IPA as I waited for my guest. They have a full bar and a good sized wine menu with a nice list of wine-by-the-glass options. The dining room is large, and I was pleased to be seated at a boot toward the back of the restaurant. The service was great: both attentive but not so annoying you can't have a good business dinner. I had the bone-in ribeye and it was cooked to perfection, tasty and tender. The sides of spinach (sautéed and steamed) were tasty and generous in size. Would definitely return here in the future.

    Had dinner at Ruth Chris in Waltham and I got the petite filet and scallop entree. The steak and scallops were tasty and cooked well. They had a little spice to it. I sat in the bar area and there's not much of an ambiance to it, as it has older steakhouse feel to it. The food was good but it is really expensive as this meal was $71 so I would recommend for special occasions or if you don't enjoy a good steak.

    Always an enjoyable meal at any Ruth Chris. Outstanding service, fresh food prepared perfectly in a beautiful atmosphere. What we ate: House salad Petite filet oscar Bread pudding My rating rationale +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

    16oz prime ribeye + lobster tail from "classic combo" with potato side option, note also the sea-bass a la carte entree.

    As I type this, the third entry along my "Eat the Distance!" project, the necessary incumberance of apologizing for such an unlikely rating impresses itself upon me with not a little urgency. Would that I might submit an evaluation of the form 4.75/5, or like such as, I would. But alas, 4/5 is a mere +80%, and though I am evidently philosophically opposed to admitting complete certainty about any one proposition etc., Ruth's Chris deserves more something akin to +95%*. Excellent everything**, ambience unexpected and refined, vittles excellently prepared and presented: each uncooked steak is subject to a sear at over 1000°F, then laid to rest on a plate heated to 500°F which is then itself tabled. Will return at some later date, a date beyond the "Distance!", to sample missed menu items. ---------------- *4.75/5, for restaurants in its class. **A few minor points could be made regarding service, in particular concerning pre-arival preparations. Additionally, there really ought to be a dry sparkling white by the glass, a simple cava brut or so, to elevate and further gild. Also music...do address.

    I was surprised to see how low of ratings this place is. I have the best experience/food when I was here last week. I didn't make a reservation in advance, but when checking in with the host and my bf said it's my bday, the host was so nice and sprinkled birthday decors on my table. Zachary was our server, and he did a fantastic job in explaining the menu, he shows us visually the different size of wine glass. We ordered the steak for 2 combo and red wine to pair with. The rib eyes were a little more pink than medium, but it tasted so juicy and full of flavor. The night ended with a complimentary dessert from the restaurant, and I had to say their cheese cake and chocolate mouse are to do for! The texture and sweetness level are just perfect. This is definitely the level of fine dine that I m willing to spend money on. From the atmosphere to the service, everything was elegant.

    Sides: Cream spinach, sweet potato casserole, any gratin potato. The spinach and au gratin was soupy.

    I'm glad I was able to experience Ruth's Chris Steakhouse before it was purchased by Darden Restaurants, the parent company behind Olive Garden and many other well known chain restaurants. I sensed it would decline a bit after the purchase but I had no idea it would be worse. My wife and I went there for her birthday and it was very disappointing. The quality of the food and service was nowhere close to what it was before it was sold. The good: easy to get a table/reservation received an extra lobster tail to make up for a wrong order. I received a well done steak when I ordered medium rare. They were very nice about that. However, the new steak was cooked to order but the surface of the steak was grey in color. No sear at all. The bad: food quality. was subpar for the price. I ordered a filet mignon medium rare but received it well done. side items were very small and not tasty service . The server barely came by our table. Water wasn't filled up until we were ready to leave. Also, the table was a mess. Plates weren't cleared in a timely matter. We didn't see anyone use that little comb thing that fancy steakhouses use to clear crumbs from tables. price. Our total bill was $425 for two including the tip. Honestly, we would have had better food and service at Longhorns, another one of the restaurants that the Darden group owns. Sadly, this will be the last time we go to Ruth's Chris.

    Very lovely atmosphere. Our Server, Mike was phenomenal. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We got the tomahawk steak and it was cooked to absolute perfection. Gustavo came over and boxed up our leftovers and the staff was all very lovely. 5 stars for Mike!

    Ruth Chris never disappoints. I don't go often but when I do it is excellent. Bottles of wine going around the table, appetizers to share, the meal, and dessert. The restaurant itself was very nice. Table were not on top of each other which I believe is important. The stuffed mushroom and spicy shrimp - consensus was that they were both amazing. A few had the sea bass and the rest had the filet. Everything was ala carte. There wasn't a choice that was less than amazing. I ordered the sweet potato casserole. It was really good, but not excellent as there was such a strong butter taste it took away from the sweet potato. Same with the filet - if you don't like a strong butter taste, be sure to ask for no butter. My filet came out with a puddle of butter so most tasted like the butter, not a true essence of the meat. There were tons of laughs and good times. It's nice to be out and not talk about work. I am happy to be a part of this team. Lastly, the service was very good. The waiter was attentive throughout the evening. Thank you Ruth Chris.

    Oh the ways I love this restaurant! It's the best spot to have a good cocktail with a colleague and not worry about seeing other coworkers. The appetizers are large enough to share or be a side to a steak If you're extra hungry, then you can order sides too. It's your world On each occasion Ruth's Chris nails the perfect medium rare temperature - which in my experience can be challenging, especially in the "fancier" joints. The bread pudding with the Jack Daniel's cream sauce is my MUST have for dessert!! From entry to departure the service is excellent. My only wish is for self parking nearer to the restaurant. There is parking on-site (lot or garage), plan for a decent walk. Valet is also available.

We were very surprised by the design when we walked in - the frontage is very unassuming. I have been to many areas of Italy - some casual and some very upscale. This restaurant is a little in between. But it's charming and beautiful. We sat at the counter bar and it was a really cool place to be. It's right in front of the kitchen but also very quiet and easy to have a conversation. It's clear that the family that owns the restaurant has spent a lot of time traveling through Italy, the menu is very reflective of many of the regions. The menu was beautiful and certainly has something for everyone. We split a couple entrees but started with the prosciutto which was fantastic - I'm a bit picky about this app because sometimes it's the standard presentation that to me is boring. This dish had a perfect combination of accompaniments - it was light and is a very good starter. For entrees we had the eggplant - the tomato ragu on it was super flavorful. We also ordered the Pork Tenderloin Milanese - this dish is no less than amazing!!!! Highly recommend. The wine we chose was Ceretto Barolo- a perfect match for the entrees. We finished with the desert special - an elegant warm pear tart ... yum ! The service was excellent- we were fortunate to get one of the family members who was charming and gave us a little bit of the family history and great explanations of the dishes before we ordered. This is an excellent restaurant and a fortunate gem we stumbled upon - it's a must if you're in the area!
