    This was my first time going to Ruth’s Chris steakhouse. We were there to celebrate my boyfriend‘s birthday. The hostess staff was super nice. Our waiter was nice but seemed to be in a hurry the whole time we were there. The food was delicious. And although expensive, it’s totally worth it for a special occasion or holiday dinner.

    Table of 6. Old friends celebrating Christmas. There for three hours by our choice. Visiting and enjoying each other’s company. Food delicious and hot. Timing perfect as we ordered appetizers and visited then order meals visited then ordered desert. Service was attentive, friendly, professional and prompt. Removed dishes after each course, brought clean silverware and plates for each course and refilled beverages constantly without being asked. PERFECT

    I love Zola but it is so loud and people packed into the space. Wish they would fix both of those annoyances but then again others may like the energy.
