    Rich was the best waiter we have ever had. Ordered steak medium rare and it was under for both of us. We didn’t say anything bc it was still tasty but I expect better from RC

    I’ll keep it short. For a place that has the word STEAK in its name, you would think it would get the most important part of their menu right…..it was a failure. After ordering almost $900 worth of food and drinks to celebrate my Mother’s 85th birthday, my 8oz filet was over cooked and very tough (ordered medium). The lobster tail was good but room temp at best. The replacement filet took 20 min (everyone was done eating) and was covered with some garlic bread crumb mixture that I didn’t order and frankly ruined the steak. It was also brought to the table so sizzling hot that it was evident that the steak did not rest and IMO was too dangerous to serve. The wait staff did their best to cover and everyone else apparently had no complaints. I work in the hospitality industry and when our chefs make HUGH mistakes, a recovery is required, but in this case, it failed miserably as well.

    First time at the Del Mar location and we were not disappointed. Steaks perfectly cooked. Sides all tasty. Been to Ruth's Chris many times and locations but had the French fries for the first time and they did not disappoint. Service always superior. We'll be back.

    The filet minion was amazing as usual. It took a while to take our desert order, and quite a while after that for it to arrive, even after we said we’re were tight one time.

    David, our server was amazing. He made us feel very comfortable and kept us up-to-date on our meal because it was a very busy evening.
