Krystal made our visit a delight and the food was amazing. The steak was cooked to perfection and was tender and delightful. It's a beautiful location too. Very nice evening out with a dear friend.

Always a pleasure. One of my favorite places to eat. Pro tip- you will be too full for dessert so get a piece of carrot cake to take home. The portions on it are gigantic.

Have been to this restaurant twice now. The first time we enjoyed the experience. Excellent server, good food (although my steak was undercooked), nice table. Second time was disappointing. Food was good, but service was not good. Refills were very slow to come and the table we got was not in a spot we appreciated (first one away the entrance). For the price, we expected better.

Ruth’s Chris is a great restaurant. But, our food was delivered to a different table & after 55-mins, our server informed us of the error. When our food finally came out, they delivered to another table again. After a few minutes they realized the mistake & brought it to our table. My wife’s stake was under-cooked so back to the kitchen. Our sweet potato casserole was cold but I did not complain. The manager graciously offered us a free desert. Coffee followed dinner & it was cold. Our server was fantastic but the overall experience was not. We could have complained to the manager but did not want to appear to be whining & cheap customers. Ruth’s Chris is still much better than Prime & Providence.

Thank you for your feedback. While I’m glad to hear your server was fantastic, I sincerely apologize for the mix-ups and inconsistencies during your visit. This is not the level of service we strive for, and we truly appreciate your patience. Please know we are addressing these issues to prevent future missteps. We value your support and hope to provide the seamless experience you deserve on your next visit.

We had the Tomahawks and Ribeye with loaded potato and loaded hashbrowns everything was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. Our reservation was early for dinner so it was mostly quiet as more people filled the room the nose levels stayed at a comfortable level. We had an amazing experience and plan to go again soon

Was able to make a last minute reservation here on Valentine’s night. Opentable makes reservation so convenient. Made the reservation, drove five minutes to get there, and were seated in ten minutes. The place was very busy. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was on par with a five star restaurant. I have eaten at a Ruth’s Chris in St. Louis and was not as impressed as I was with this location. Definitely worth a visit.

It's great to know that our reservation system made it easy for you to get here and that you found our staff friendly and accommodating. We're also glad that you enjoyed the food and found it on par with a five-star restaurant. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back soon!
