    The only thing that was bad was that my girl and I wanted the cowboy ribeye. The tomahawk, cowboy, and porterhouse steak were gone because of Valentine's weekend. We ended up getting the t-bone steak. The food was delicious!! Leah was our server. She did a phenomenal job making sure we were catered to, and her service was second to none. Overall, a fantastic evening!!

    This was our second visit to the new location, across the street from the original one in the hotel. The ambiance is so much nicer. Everyone working there was wonderful, from the hostesses, to waitstaff, and management just checking to be sure we were well taken care of. Our waitress, Shelly, was helpful, thoughtful, and attentive. Our food was excellent. We ordered off the pre fixed menu. It’s the first time I chose not to get a beef entree (the petite filet is my usual choice). I must say, the pork chop was tender, delicious, and enormous! We will definitely be returning!

    Went for Valentine's Day and of course the food was great. The service was attentive and accommodating even though the restaurant was understandably busy. Definitely a great spot for a date night. Ruth's Chris always provides a great dining experience.

    Been to Ruth's Chris several times. This time makes me not want to go back. I generally go for the tender steaks and well made sides. Everything was mediocre. Steak was not tender, sides were not flavorful. Everything tasted rushed due to the big Valentine's Day crowd. I got an appetizer with only 4 shrimp total that was not as delicious as before. It was not a good experience. Servers were fantastic!
