    This Ruth Chris location did not disappoint. I had the best food and wonderful service. We arrived 45 minutes early and sat at the bar. The bartender was extra nice as we discussed the goat cheese and artichoke dip and toast as opposed to spinach and artichoke dip. We were quickly seated. Our waiter Aaron was very attentive and pleasant. Arthur came by our table a few times to keep our table tidy and was very friendly as well. The Manager stopped by to check on us and our dining experience. We had the barbecue shrimp as an appetizer. We also had the Porterhouse Steak, Sweet Potato Casserole and Brussel sprouts and the food was very delicious. Definitely a 10 out of 10.

    Very romantic place to be. The overall atmosphere, food, and service was great. The price of the food and the atmosphere were not justified, because the restaurant doesn’t have a formal dress code. They need to have a formal code because everything else is top notch and then you have people in formal attire and those other people that come in wearing Walmart PJs.
