    We recently celebrated our anniversary at Ruth's Chris Steak House and it was an incredible experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for our special night. We requested a booth where we could sit side by side and the staff was more than accommodating, making us feel truly special. Our waiter was fantastic, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly while the hostesses were equally lovely, contributing to the overall welcoming vibe of the restaurant. Now let’s talk about the food; everything we ordered was exceptional. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy and bursting with flavor, and I must say the wedge salad was the best I have ever had, fresh, crisp, and dressed just right. Plus we found it to be a great value for such a high-quality dining experience. It was the perfect setting to celebrate our special day and we left with full hearts and satisfied palates. Thank you Ruth's Chris for making our anniversary truly memorable; we can’t wait to return for our next celebration!

    The service here was impeccable! My boyfriend and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here and I’m glad we did. We arrived to our table with heart confetti and a card waiting for us. Our waiter, Victor, was very informed and recommended great dishes and wine. Towards the end of our meal we were surprised to receive champagne to toast and were sent home with a box of chocolate truffles! We are so glad we chose to come here to celebrate! Thank you!

    Great food. Bacon wrapped scallops were succulent. Love the brussels sprouts. And don't miss the wedge salad with chunks of real Roquefort.
