    The ambiance at Ruth's Chris Steak House was both elegant and inviting, setting the perfect time for a great dining experience. But what truly made our visit exceptional was our server Hilary. Hilary's attentiveness and warm demeanor made us feel right at home. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and helped us navigate through a range of great options. Her recommendations were spot-on, from the perfectly cooked steaks to the great sides. Every dish was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Hilary's service was impeccable throughout the evening. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and was alway there with a smile. Her professionalism and genuine passion for her work truly elevated out dining experience. If you're looking for a top-notch dining experience, Ruth's Chris Steak House is the place to be, and if you're lucky enough to be served by Hilary, you're in for a memorable evening. Thank you Ruth's Chris, and a special shout-out to Hilary for making our night one to remember.

    The food was so delicious and well-prepared. The service was impeccable; the entire staff was attentive, friendly, efficient, respectful and very kind. It was our anniversary and while we had indicated that on our Open Table reservation, we had not mentioned it when we were there. When they brought our dessert the words ‘Happy Anniversary’ were piped in chocolate on the plate along with a lit candle on the plate for us. Many other places we have gone to have via Open Table overlooked those details. Can’t wait to go again!
