Great food—appreciate the updated menu. Nice to see new items added. Food quality is always excellent—fresh and delicious. Nice presentation too. Service was very good and waitress handled an allergy request very well (to ensure our guest with a seafood allergy did not order food fried in the same oil as the calamari.). Thank you! Staff seems a bit stretched so ensure you have time.

I Had a friend’s dinner for a 60th Birthday celebration of my dear long time friend and Ruth Chris delivered. Frank the waiter was amazing and charming. Most importantly the food was “Outstanding’. The steaks cooked as ordered and everything was delicious. Thank you for providing a wonderful experience and memorable evening for The Birthday Girl and her guests.

I’ve heard such great things about this place and their steaks. So my friend and I went. I have to say I was really disappointed in the food. It was a Saturday at 5 pm, an early dinner for us, and we were the only ones in there. So it wasn’t like the kitchen was slammed. We both got the 7oz filet mignon. Mine looked good although her cut looked terrible almost like a steak patty where mine was nice a plump. The mashed potatoes were cold and again we were the only ones there. So a big disappointment and not a place I can recommend or want to go back to unfortunately
