    I must say this was a very disappointing experience. I felt terrible for our waitress Jess who was great and the manager Paul who did his best. Sad that a "steak" house, cannot cook a steak the way it was ordered. Now, was not busy, 1st ones through the door. 2 steaks, ordered cooked differently and both not even close. One was sent back, only to return not long after. Filet mignon ordered medium, was medium rare to rare even after it was sent back. The other steak I didn't even bother with after that. I wanted my bil exactly for what we had and informed Paul I would not be happy otherwise. He did remove an appetizer. I did not slight Jess the waitress for the kitchens ineptitude and made sure she was tipped very well. Upon leaving, Paul offered us a gift card, I refuse and thanked him. So sad for a steak house of their magnitude.

    My first cut onto my petite filet revealed a lot of fat. Not what I expected from a filet (supposedly a center cut). Lobster tail was over cooked. Ambience was basically non existent. Very basic. The manager did take the filet off the bill but will never be going back. Better value, quality of food and ambience at 1928 on Beacon Hill.

    We had a great NYE dinner sitting in the vault room, Jonathan & Georgia were very attentive and super friendly. The food was absolutely incredible, we loved the osso bucco ravioli, sweet potato casserole and all of the steaks were cooked perfectly.

    I had the lamb chops and my wife had Ruth's classic. 3 large chops cooked to perfection. The classic comes with salad, 6oz filet w/ 3 shrimp, vegetable and dessert.If you are looking for a special night out Ruth's Chris in Boston is an excellent choice.

    Food is always great. Service was ideal. The only thing I didn’t care for was be seated in the basement during the holidays.
