    We have two private dining rooms that are the perfect place to host any event, from an intimate family gathering to a large company party. The Essex room is for more moderately sized parties, and can easily accommodate groups of up to 25 guests. The Miller room is for more substantially sized parties, and is able to accommodate groups of up to 40 guests. If neither room is sufficiently sized to hold your event on its own, the collapsible wall that separates them can be stowed away, and this extended space will accommodate up to 65 guests. The 80 inch HD TVs located behind sliding walls in each room are ideal for any presentation needs you may have. Call or visit https://www.ruthschris.com/private-events/ to inquire about availability.

    Wonderful experience as soon as we walked in the door. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Our server John was friendly and knowledgeable! He made my first experience at Ruth Chris a memorable one! The food was fabulous and the steak was cooked to perfection.

    Excellent service. We had calamari, chopped salad, salmon w/shrimp, filet, Brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes, lobster Mac & cheese and cheesecake. The salmon was just ok, but everything else was wonderful.

    Great service, great food. A little disappointed with the amount of crab on the filet mignon I ordered tonight. It was to be a crab and turf dish but the crab was a minuscule part of the whole dish. The filet was delicious as expected. The crab cake entree was delicious.

    Not a great experience and will not go back. Service was horrible, food was mediocre for the price. I never even was able to get another water or iced tea as they only came over when we had to “wave them” down. I guess it’s to be expected for a mall restaurant but going to the Cheesecake Factory in the mall is better than this.

    The food was exceptional! I love the hot plates they serve the food on, it really adds to the experience and keeps the food warm as you’re eating so it always feels fresh. The drinks were to die for and fairly strong! I loved the quiet ambiance of the restaurant! Would definitely go back
