    First, our server was very nice and explained the menu and answered our questions. She was very attentive all night. The bone in filet was awesome as was the creamed spinach side. Wine by the glass price and pour were good.

    We visited Ruth Chris for our Thanksgiving dinner, and we enjoyed the food and the professional, friendly service. The Thanksgiving dinner with sides and dessert was excellent! The restaurant has a dress code, which we also appreciated, and all of the customers were dressed nicely and there were no hats at the table. It was so relaxing and it seemed that everyone having dinner was enjoying their experience.
