Everything about Ruth’s Chris is amazing! I have been here on many occasions and never have been disappointed! Our waitress was fantastic! The food was delicious hot and very tasty! I had the stuffed chicken and sweet potatoes casserole, my wife had the 8 oz filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes! The drinks were amazing too! To top it off the Manger stopped by and we had a very nice encounter! Definitely my favorite place in Walnut Creek!

This family owned restaurant delivers on all fronts. The service is always friendly (shout out to Gabriel and Angel) and welcoming. The food is excellent (mussels, interesting tacos, guacamole, flan…etc. ). The patio ambiance is so pleasant. Nitpicking the only negatives: the high noise level is frustrating for my old ears, and I would like for them to expand the dinner menu so I have even more delicious choices. Oh there’s a full bar for the drinkers.

The server was so great! She was quick and friendly and made great suggestions for food choices. The food was so-so. The french fries were cold when delivered and the brussel sprouts were tasteless. That was so disappointing. My husband liked his chicken pot pie a lot
