Service was exactly what we needed. Can’t wait for our next dinner date at Gather. The Brussel Sprouts are a must. The pork chop never disappoints.

Ruth's Chris is a chain, but one which strives on the local level to provide a top tier experience from beginning to end. the wait staff was completely attentive, and the food was superb. What I like about Ruth's is that the experience is predicable and repeatable.
