I did feel bad about going on Christmas day, but they were open anyway. We sat at the upstairs bar and the service was amazing! The food was very good as always. I really do not know way the front desk people all ways tell you to wait!? I just walked by them and went upstairs. Food was awesome.

The food and the service was outstanding. I did give it 3 stars on ambience only because, when I made the reservation I didn’t get to choose the main dining room or the upstairs bar area. I have been to Ruth’s 3 times but never upstairs. While my guest and I were enjoying a nice dinner, I see three individuals wearing ball caps, and another individual wearing sweatpants/sweatshirt. This set me back for a minute as I thought Ruth’s was a fine dining restaurant. I did find out that the upstairs is a bit more casual. This is my opinion and mine only. If I go to a fine dining restaurant and get dressed up for the evening, I do not except to see people in ball caps, sweatpants, leggings, etc. I do understand that restaurants do not want to turn away guests, but you do have the right to appeal to the dress code. Or at least ask the quest who made the restaurant if they would like the dining room or casual area. This was my friends first time at Ruth’s and I was kinda disappointed. But again, my opinion only. Everyone has a right to choose for themselves. Thank you

Disappointing experience. Steak was just ok. Definitely not worth the price. Sides came lukewarm warm. Maybe cause food was sitting in kitchen as our salads came before our appetizer. Had to ask for our appetizer when we finally got the waitress flagged down. She said it was given to an incorrect table. And she had to put a new order in. She did her best but I think they were understaffed. Definitely not the experience I expected for a special Christmas dinner with family.

It was very loud, steak over cooked, shoestring potatoes cold. My husband never got his salad. Not what you expect for the price.

Food as always was exceptional, Our server Brandon only visited table 3x once take orders, once to drop bread/salads, once to refill drinks. We were a table of 4 adults and were there 2 hours and 1 of maybe 4 tables. My daughters sprite was flat, he said he would get it fixed. Once he brought salads, we had to ask if they had that sprite fixed. It was literally a hour later.
