    Our party of 5 had the private, "500" dining room as we celebrated my cousin's birthday. Gary and his team took excellent care of us, and made sure our experience was perfect and memorable! As usual the food was outstanding, and prepared perfectly! Prices are not inexpensive, but for the most part, you get what you pay for! Ruth's Chris/Pasadena remains one of our top "destination" steakhouses, and we'll be back time and again!

    The dishes here are absolutely delicious. Service is usually really good. This particular night we got a new server that wasn’t as familiar with the menu as should have been prior to being of service to customers. At this price point all servers should have a healthy understanding of the food being served and off recommendations when asked. Otherwise, very good experience and will definitely come back again

    Enjoyed my experience! There was a slight lull in service and the busser did spill soy sauce on our table and left a few kitchen items behind, but everyone was very nice. We’re all human, I’d definitely come back.

    Beautiful restaurant and ambiance. Service was perhaps best we have ever experienced. This really is a steakhouse so be aware that other entrees are limited. I ordered the cod and it was very good. Another in our party ordered a steak and she said it was perfectly done. Location is very good next to the beautiful Pasadena city hall. There is ample underground parking with some validation by the restaurant. I definitely recommend this restaurant for those that want red meat.
