Everything about the food was excellent including the oysters, the lobster bisque, the Caesar salad and especially the fish and chips. Our drinks were well made and worth the money. The view is amazing and the service is great. Don't miss this experience when you are in San Diego.

We had a great experience celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary last night. Our server Ron is the best. He made us feel special and he was very attentive. RC gave us a complimentary crème brûlée (which I picked) for dessert with a Happy Anniversary writing. One of the best crème brûlée I have tried! Reason why Ruth's Chris is one of our fave restaurants to dine in.🥂🥰

We had a lovely new years brunch (though I do wish they actually served brunch fare). Everything was very delicious! The service, while very friendly and accommodating, got a little slow toward the end as it got busier, which is understandable. It would’ve been okay except we were in a booth that was one of two they have for parties of six but maybe six short, slim people? Pretty uncomfortable, especially in that corner spot, I spent the whole meal with my arms up over the back of the booth. I’m chubby but the rest of my party were regular sized men and one slim woman and we all felt squashed. But otherwise, a beautiful meal on a lovely day.
