    I have been to many Texas de Brazils over the years. Hartford/West Farms was one of if not the best. Although it’s smaller in size than most it made up for being cramped with the exceptional service and foods. This was the first location that ever swapped out dinner plate with clean plates and encouraged to continue eating. Kudos

    We had an enjoyable date night at Ruth Chris. Everything was cooked to perfection and the drinks were amazing! The service was top notch, and they spaced out the timing of everything just right. I highly recommend Ruth Chris. Premium food and premium service all around. They are attentive to providing an above and beyond dining experience.

    Wonderful food and wonderful service. We had a reservation right when they opened and arrived a few minutes early but it was freezing and they welcomed us right in. My son had the salmon and said it was awesome (he’s very picky). Highlight had to be the baked Alaska for dessert!

    The food was fabulous! Homemade pasta in all of the pasta dishes. The shrimp was fresh and perfectly cooked. They match flavors so perfectly and every bite was delicious! We ordered the vanilla ice cream for dessert and to our surprise, it was vanilla gelato, again homemade! Needless to say, we did not leave any in the bowl. Definitely a place to go again and again!
