    French onion
    Chelsea A.

    GIRL DINNERRRRRRR! So guys this place has like $60 dinners. So it includes an app, an entree a side and a dessert! Like what an amazing deal! I got the French onion soup, some steak and some lava soup! One thing I love about this deal is that the substitutions are like $5! And we love to see it! Our sever was named Milan and she was super knowledgeable! (Make sure if you order food to go they make sure they make it before the kitchen closes- we ordered food to go and by the time end when we was ready for it kitchen was closed even though we had ordered it over an hour before that but the server told us come back and she will make up for that so I hope yall see this bc we didn't cause a fuss!) It was my homegirl bday so I love how they decorated the table, brought a candle in dessert! All that! Enough parking in the area as well and the bathroom was super well lit! So cute with a full body mirror and we know I love that! 10/10 experience and we love to see it!

    GARLIC MASHED STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST
    Domonique G.

    I visited on a Monday evening after work for a "pick me up." I sat at the bar and enjoyed a pomegranate martini. I ended up ordering a meal, the stuffed chicken and mashed potatoes. This was my first time at the DC location. It wasn't that many people in there, given it was the Monday after Thanksgiving holiday, but it was something about the stillness that I enjoyed. It was a nice way to unwind after a long day at work. I'm still thinking about the martini. It was perfect.

    I go to this Ruth Chris often with business associates and I've even had a meeting there before in the private room with a circular table. For this review, I am only going to review the drink which is the espresso martini

    Fruit cheesecake

    It was my first time here and it was great! I thought it was overhyped but it actually tasted very good. The steak was cooked well to my preference (medium) and the sides were great. Service was good and it gives a dark ambiance like other steak houses.

    CAESAR SALAD, Calamari, and GOAT CHEESE & ARTICHOKE DIP
    Sean M.

    Tried this restaurant for the first time on New Year's Eve at about 9:45pm. The decor and the vibe was solid for the overall price point. The appetizers were alright. The Caesar Salad is as expected. The Calamari was interesting since it was wet (but not soggy) rather than the traditional crunchy - still enjoyable. The Artichoke Dip was probably the best appetizer - hearty, filling, and flavorful. I ordered the Ruth's Classic, which came with the French Onion Soup to start. This was much more greasy and oily than expected, with a pungent flavor. The Filet was beyond lovely though. A thorough buttery texture with each bite satisfying. The topped shrimp were pretty ordinary and non-interesting. The sides paired well and were just as great. The unfortunate negative review is due to service. I realize it was a busy time, but people cleared out of the restaurant 30 minutes after arrival - as mentioned by the server. However the lack of attention and competence was still felt through the end of the meal. It took 10 minutes to be given water, an additional 10 minutes to be given my Old Fashioned. (The servers actually ran around with it in the dining hall to find who ordered it.) By the time I received it, the smoke flourish had long dissipated. A Sprite was also ordered and we were served Club Soda three times after informing the server and sending the drink back. They eventually stopped trying and were served Coke. When we were asked for a refill on the Coke, we said yes, but it didn't come. We checked in on getting the refill, but didn't get one for the next 30 minutes we were seated. We wanted to pay part of the bill with a gift card and the rest with Apple Pay. I went up to the POS with them and found that they couldn't apply it without manager approval, and the manager-on-duty couldn't be found for another 5-10 minutes. For this price point, I'd expect the service to be a bit more buttoned-up. The meat was some of the best I've had, but the service did sour the overall feeling of the night.

    Lobster Mac n cheese

    I came here with my family for my sister's graduation lunch. This location was light and airy and aesthetically pleasing. The modern design was picturesque. The service was good and the waitress was attentive to our needs for the most part. I did feel like the service was a bit slow at times for an empty restaurant. I ordered the Caesar salad, lobster mac n cheese, and pomegranate martini. The Caesar salad was fresh- 10/10 Lobster Mac & cheese- 9/10 Pomegranate martini-9.5/10 Definitely enjoyed this location and will bookmark it as a preferred location.

    Food is always great at Ruth's Chris. It was brought to my attention I never check in or post meals from here, to be fair this is one of my go to spots so perhaps I've neglected Ruth's Chris! Good drinks. Good food. Like literally everything is Fire! Great servers! Classy and intimate dining area! We never spend less than $300-400 coming here! This is the place where you simply indulge and enjoy! My secret stomping ground!

    230pm was the perfect time to visit! It was pretty empty and the energy of the staff was high! Becuase of the time of day we were seated in the bar area which was ok. Lunch menu is offered for the holiday season. For $40. you get an appetizer (choice of 2 salads or soup of the day-today was French onion), entree and a side. It was all perfectly portioned. Unfortunately, my medium filet was prepared well-done and the lobster Mac and cheese was SUPER WATERY! The star of the meal was the calamari!! GET IT! Our server China was great and she makes great drinks!! Bread pudding was average. Happy I didn't pay full price for half decent food!

    Celebrated my cousin's birthday here recently. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Huge shout out to Will! He went above and beyond, and I want him to be recognized! Food was tasty and filling. Most of our party opted for the "Ruth's Classic," which included a salad, entree and dessert. Totally worth it! It was my first time at this location, but it certainly won't be my last. Before dinner I hung out at the bar. Excellent Service there! The drinks were great. Being that it was a Sunday, parking wasn't too difficult!

The service was genuinely five-star. Attentive without being intrusive, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. The drinks were inventive and beautifully balanced, creative without trying too hard, and the wine selection was outstanding. The sommelier's guidance made the experience even better; every recommendation paired perfectly with our meal. And the food? Superb. Outstanding. We ended up trying almost everything because we simply couldn't decide -- and not a single dish disappointed. Each plate felt intentional, refined, and deeply flavorful. Maison is the kind of place you go for a special night and leave already planning your return. An absolute gem.

We got a bunch of things to share. I ate the butter like it was frosting. It may be cultured, but I'm not!! Had the carrots, escargot, the deviled eggs, and the pasta. Also had the octopus pepper gilda thing. Our server, think his name was Hunter, said that was the most popular main. It was very delicious, rich but not overly so. The martini was nice and came with a side car. Great presentation. When my friend saw the martini she said this makes me feel like i know how to live. They have a good wine list, you can get good stuff without breaking the bank. Their espresso is nice. I don't think they have decaf though.

    History of Present Indulgence 32 yo M presents with spouse…read moreand friend for pre-comedy show dinner at Italian establishment on 18th Street in Adams Morgan. No reservation and sat comfortably at the bar. Physical Examination Food - This place was absolutely delicious. We started with Arancini and Prosciutto e Polenta. The arancini was fried perfectly - crispy outside, warm risotto inside, and sitting in this savory-sweet tomato sauce that I could've honestly just eaten with a spoon (and basically did using the focaccia they give with your meal - which itself was delicious too). The arancini also has ground beef in the center, which adds to the flavor and depth of what is usually just fried risotto. The polenta fries with paprika aioli were fantastic too. My only complaint is that I wish there were more of the fries because there were only 3 to go along with the large plate of sliced prosciutto. The prosciutto itself was fine. Just standard quality prosciutto. For mains, we went family-style and shared three entrees: the pork ossobuco from the secondi menu, the tagliarini with shredded duck, and the cavatelli with rabbit and fava beans. The ossobuco was cooked well, though I wish the braise flavor went deeper into the pork. The truffle mushroom risotto underneath was incredible. Rich, creamy, and the fresh lemon and parsley gremolata on top cut through all that richness perfectly. The tagliarini was delicious, but my wife and I agreed that the duck flavor was a little lost in the rich marinara sauce. It didn't feel like I was eating duck, to be honest. You could've told me that was shredded short rib, and I might've believed you. The cavatelli was probably my favorite dish - those shell-shaped pasta pieces with rabbit and fava beans in a white wine sauce that had this unique flavor I haven't tasted anywhere else. There's a mild gaminess from the rabbit, but it was very subtle. Each time I had a fava bean, it was a fun change of pace in texture and taste as I was spooning this plate down my throat. It was so so good. Portions were generous too, which made the prices feel totally worth it. We left full and satisfied. My wife had a lambrusco spritz that was deliciously refreshing, and we shared some good wine throughout the meal. No complaints. Service - The bartender was really kind and attentive. Even though we weren't at a table, we didn't feel like we were getting second-tier service or anything. They checked on us regularly, made good recommendations, and kept everything moving smoothly. I also love a service that offers more table bread without needing to be asked. And their table bread was this fragrant focaccia, so I could've eaten all of whatever they brought. Ambiance - haven't been to a ton of Italian restaurants in DC, but I loved the vibe here. Intimate, cozy, dim lighting. The wine selection was great too - enough variety to be interesting without being one of those overwhelming 50-page wine lists. I think this would be a perfect date night spot. Assessment A high-quality Italian restaurant with creative takes on traditional dishes, generous portions, and an intimate atmosphere. A strong contender for the Adams Morgan dining scene, where restaurants are lined up right next to each other, and making a choice can be a bit difficult. Plan - Add to recommended restaurant list for DC visitors - Consider for future date nights or a solo wine and appetizer moment - Return to try more pasta dishes or enjoy a happy hour

We told one of the servers and he said noted, then never came back and it was never addressed. The ossobucco with the risotto rice was extremely undercooked, where we could see the white middles of each grain of rice. The ossobucco itself was delicious though! I reached out on their website to share that we were a bit disappointed as we were there with friends who claim this is one of their favorite Italian restaurants in the DMV, and having multiple bones in a dish is not acceptable. Not coming back and saying something is also unacceptable. No one reaching back out after I emailed them, is equally very unacceptable.

Our server Yannik was exceptional. Warm, attentive, knowledgeable, the kind of server who makes a special occasion actually feel special. The moment you walk in, the space wraps around you. Warm wood, soft lighting, an atmosphere that feels intimate without being cramped, the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and stay a while. The team went above and beyond when they learned I don't drink: they gifted us a non-alcoholic wine, a complimentary appetizer, and dessert. That kind of hospitality isn't scripted... it's felt. Now, the food. The housemade sourdough with eucalyptus honey butter is dangerous, I could have stopped there and been happy. The roasted carrot salad with hazelnut dukkah and garlic toum was one of those dishes that makes you rethink a vegetable entirely. The garlic knots had no business being that good... crispy, layered, almost croissant-like, deeply garlicky in the best way. For pasta we had the pappardelle with spicy roasted pork ragù and fennel breadcrumbs, and the canastra cheese ravioli with wild garlic pesto and brazil nut pangrattato, that stunning deep green dish topped with chive blossoms looked like art and tasted even better. Both pastas were perfect. Then the Brazilian budino with coconut caramel and toasted coconut came out with a little candle tucked in. I nearly cried. This is a restaurant that treats every table like it matters. We will absolutely be back.
