I took my girlfriend to Rue for their Valentine’s Day tasting menu, and the experience was great. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was very cozy and comfortable.

I booked the Valentine’s dinner for my best friend and myself. We both did the Ruth’s pairing. Not pictured were our Caesar and Steakhouse salads bc we truly demolished them before remembering to take any pictures LOL The steak & shrimp were impeccable. The mashed potatoes were a little unseasoned but that is an easy fix. My French 75 was delicious! The view was amazing & we both received a complementary red rose after our dinner. I also need to give a special shout out to Corey! I had a wardrobe malfunction and he went completely out of his way to ensure that I had the help I needed to continue my day. So thank you so so much to Corey!

Every dish on this menu deserves a chef's kiss! The service is consistently top-notch, and the ambiance strikes the perfect balance between trendy and upscale. Whether you're here for a special occasion or just a night out, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss!

Our anniversary dinner was unmatched—from entry to departure. I can’t speak highly enough of the “extra touches” & attention to detail that make dining here an above-par experience. Their florist even reincarnated my wife’s wedding bouquet which was sitting on our table upon arrival. It was literally a spitting image and it brought (happy) tears to my wife’s eyes. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Matthews remains our go-to for all special occasions.

We dine here about once a month and it is always good. We always make reservations which I highly recommend. My wife loves the salad bar I like the Caesar salad. It is highly recommended mend you dine here.
