Everything we ate was amazing. The fried mozzarella and the arancini were so delicious and a great way to start off the meal. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the chicken had such amazing flavor. Service was fast and impeccable. The restaurant had a very comfortable and homey Italian feel, and it was very reasonably priced. 10/10, will be dining again.

Our waiter Hassan and the staff treated us So wonderfully. We were celebrating my parents 55th wedding anniversary and they had decorated our table with a card and confetti. We felt very cared about and taken care of, and tended to. The food was chef’s kiss times three! absolutely spectacular and delicious. Best steak (ribeye) I’ve ever had in my life. Wow! Thank you, Ruth’s Chris for such a wonderful experience. Can’t wait to come back! Top notch team you have there from the moment you pulled up, to the moment you left.

This is a nice restaurant; however, service was not particularly attentive, one of us didn't get the meal they ordered, and almost everything in every dish had WAY TOO MUCH pepper in it to be truly enjoyable. A true shame because the overall quality of the food, otherwise, was quite good. Generous portions for each of the 4 dishes we ordered. Nice presentation. Just too much pepper.
