My favorite thing about Ruth’s Chris is consistency. They nail the ribeye every single time, to perfection. On top of that, their wait staff always makes me feel at home. Very pleasant experience all around.

Simply the BEST! There is a reason our dear friend requested her birthday celebration be at The Prime Rib. The delicious cocktails are prepared just to our specifications. The food is always excellent (prime rib, medium rare, done perfectly!); the service is sublime; and the ambiance is beautiful, along with the melodious sounds of the piano close by. We had a remarkable time, lost in the beauty of dining in a scene reminiscent of a long-ago and far away steak house. The Christmas decorations added to the magic. Thank you for an amazing dining experience.

Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. From the scallops wrapped in bacon, filet mignon and lobster to the sides and of course the bread. I definitely would recommend this place.

A wonderful Christmas dinner here. Food was plentiful and well prepared. Starter and dessert served by waiter. The main course and sides were buffet. Choice of turkey, salmon, lamb, and/or ham. Dozen side dishes. Something for all tastes. Loved the warm rolls. Plenty of street parking on Christmas but not regular work days.. Our second Christmas here. Plan to return next Christmas. Also I have eaten here on other occasions and food is uniformly good.
