Restaurants near Camp Dodge Station Historical

We had a very pleasant waitress. Her name was Abbie W. She came back numerous times to be sure we were happy with everything. Excellent job!!!!

The food and the service was outstanding. I did give it 3 stars on ambience only because, when I made the reservation I didn’t get to choose the main dining room or the upstairs bar area. I have been to Ruth’s 3 times but never upstairs. While my guest and I were enjoying a nice dinner, I see three individuals wearing ball caps, and another individual wearing sweatpants/sweatshirt. This set me back for a minute as I thought Ruth’s was a fine dining restaurant. I did find out that the upstairs is a bit more casual. This is my opinion and mine only. If I go to a fine dining restaurant and get dressed up for the evening, I do not except to see people in ball caps, sweatpants, leggings, etc. I do understand that restaurants do not want to turn away guests, but you do have the right to appeal to the dress code. Or at least ask the quest who made the restaurant if they would like the dining room or casual area. This was my friends first time at Ruth’s and I was kinda disappointed. But again, my opinion only. Everyone has a right to choose for themselves. Thank you

10/10 recommend Brussel Sprout appetizer is a must have! Great Sangrias & Martinis! From steak, to pasta, to salmon & burgers, not one person in our group was disappointed with their meal!

Food was excellent. Appreciated that we were offered smaller portions (at a reduced price). Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Made every effort to assure us a pleasant dining experience. Definitely recommend for a special night out.

We chose a 4m reservation, because weather was blowing in. That left us to chose from either the happy hour menu of small plates, or the main menu. We have eaten here before, so we knew what to expect. There is a well-curated menu of enough variety that we always have options. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable about ingredients, and always ready to make recommendations, if asked. The food is delightfully plated, not overwhelming, in size or seasoning. He had the Alfredo and I had the Scottish salmon with rice. There was enough left from my plate to take a taste home for the dogs, but his was gone. We did get a slice of cheesecake to split for dessert…soft, tender, and not too sweet. Perfect size. As we left, we marveled at how calm we were and how well fed. No pressure, great escape for food and relaxing conversation. But..make a reservation. You might feel silly about it, making a 4pm reservation, but last week we tried to walk in at 5, and ended up going elsewhere. And they have recently changed their hours to make lunches extend to happy hour.
