    We had a wonderful dinner this evening! The food was top notch as always and the ambiance was very pleasant and relaxing. On top of that out we had a great server named Danny. He has a very professional and friendly attitude. Checked in with us enough but not too much. Gave us good recommendation about the cocktail drinks. He made our dinner date very pleasant and my husband and I both enjoyed it very much.

    Our server Chip was amazing, very attentive and made great recommendations. All of the food, sides and appetizers were delicious with the exception of the lobster Mac, its was bland and unseasoned. The rib eye, filet mignon, salmon with shrimp and especially the garlic crusted sea bass were impeccable. I can’t say enough about the sea bass. We also ordered the calamari and bbq shrimp appetizers. The bbq shrimp is a small portion but delicious and the calamari was enough for 3-4 people and was also delicious.

    Ruth’s Chris is always good! From atmosphere to Food to Service. Since we go there often, my comments are in light of those visits which is about once a month. Tonight’s wait on a reservation for 7:30pm was actually 8:10pm by the time we were seated. We noticed there was a new wine list. We tried the Riesling, which first came out as a Pinot Grigio, but then got corrected. However the Riesling was tart, almost bitter, not the expected semi-sec finish of a German wine.,We had the Porterhouse for two. This is a usual GoTo for us. The cut was good, but there was gristle on the tenderloin side and marbled gristle throughout the New York side. A bit disappointing for that kind of steak cut. The sides of Augustine potato’s and Mushrooms were great as always, but we noticed that they were not the usual hot temp. The dinner plates that usually come sizzling did not, and although warm to the touch were not the usual hot plate! The cheese cake was the usual to-die-for which capped off the meal. This could have been the Friday night rush, but it was not an experience on par with former visits. Still one of the best steak houses that regular people can visit!

    This place never disappoints! We were seated promptly, great service! Julius, our waiter could not have been better. The food arrived smoking hot, delicious, and in a very relaxed atmosphere. We cannot wait to go back. Well done.
