One of our party received an overdone filet and sent it back. Rohr's more than made it right by bringing him an appetizer to enjoy while waiting for the new filet, which was just right when it arrived. Several in our party ordered the prix-fixe Thanksgiving turkey dinner which was delicious and sumptuous. Would 100% go back again!

Went to Ruth's Chris for Thanksgiving lunch. The only thing available was in the bar which is fine. A bit noisy but not bad. Being Thanksgiving it was very busy and the food was excellent as usual. Our server, Shay, was fantastic!! She was very attentive and very friendly! I hope to have her again soon. Thank You Shay and Ruth's Chris for a great meal!!
