First timer: I HAD A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY DINNER! Our server, Tina, and her assistant, Jorge, were magical! She went above and beyond to make my night feel special and that I had all the information necessary for me to choose what I had for dinner. Great service, great food recommendations, and overall amazing personality! Thank you so much Tina/team for the experience last night, will be coming back in future!
We had a delightful evening at Ruth’s Chris Steak House — definitely one for the books. We kicked off the night with a glass of red wine for everyone in the family. I can’t remember which one I ordered, but it paired well with the meal and helped set the tone for a relaxed, elegant dinner. For the appetizer, we shared the fried calamari — served with a sweet chili sauce, which definitely isn’t your typical take. My family wasn’t the biggest fan of the sweet twist, but I personally enjoyed it. It was different in a good way, giving the calamari a light, crispy kick with a sweet heat that stood out. For the main course, we split two bone-in porterhouse steaks, which are a signature at Ruth’s Chris — each one comes with both the tenderloin (filet) and the New York strip on either side of the bone. Perfect for sharing, especially when you want the best of both worlds. The steak was incredibly tender, juicy, and you could really taste the depth of the beef flavor. That said, I did feel it needed just a little salt — not a big issue since they let you season to taste, but worth noting. On the side, we went classic steakhouse with lobster mac & cheese, creamed spinach, and mashed potatoes. The lobster mac was rich, creamy, and had a good amount of lobster throughout — definitely a favorite. The mashed potatoes were buttery and smooth, absolutely delicious. The creamed spinach was fine, not really my thing, but it balanced the richness of the other sides well. Service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance made it feel like a special occasion without being over-the-top. All in all, a very good meal — great food, solid service, and a cozy yet upscale vibe. Would absolutely return, especially for a family dinner or celebration.
Sister date at Ruth Chris’s! The service from the time we walked in until we left three hours later was nothing short of exceptional! Kevin Jones gave us service with a smile! He made sure we had everything we needed! Olivia greeted us with a smile! Yavanna was so funny! She gave us great suggestions of menu options! That Cowboy ribeye was EVERYTHING! The managers, Jenny and Sarah, checked on us to make sure everything was good at our table, which it absolutely was! Yes, we made best friends with the staff that provided us great service! We had a great dining experience....and will definitely be back soon! THANK YOU!
Food was wonderful. Steak just melts in your mouth. The mac and cheese was the best! Server was very good and kept our drinks fresh. Would eat here again!
If you’re fortunate enough to be there when Sam is on shift. Ask your his signature espresso martini. He makes them the best! And he’s such a beautiful soul. Everyone there is so kind but he has a little extra flavor and I just love him!
I went there for my birthday two weeks ago. Our server was very knowledgeable. Before we order, he described how the steak will be cooked and recommended us what to order on the side. We ordered T-bone steak and New York style steak. Though both my wife and I couldn’t finish the food because the portions were huge but we are very happy with the atmosphere of the restaurant and service we received that night. I will always recommend Ruth’s steak house to celebrate your special day. A five star .....
It is our fifteen year anniversary. My Husband told me 'don't do anything I'm going to plan everything. I know exactly what to do' and he did just that. First he took me shopping to find something to wear and then we proceeded to Ruth's Chris Steak House in Walnut Creek CA. The whole dining experience was welcoming. We were seated timely. Toni came over immediately with Sara & Jenny. They were all smiles and held nice pleasant conversations. We had a to-die-for 'coffee martini' that was delectable. Crab cakes. Lamb chops. Steak. Red lobster macaroni and cheese. Calamari. Everything was seasoned well and warm. I just want to be there right now. Excellent human kind service to Ruth's Chris
I recently dined at Ruth’s Chris for a sister reunion/dinner and had the best time! Kevin was our host/support server and was outstanding with service, smile, professionalism, wealth of knowledge of the menu and much more! In addition Managment also went above and beyond to also ensure our dining experience wasn’t anything short of the best! We will be back! Highly recommend for small or large groups. Food was outstanding, wait time was perfect, and we even had a chef suggested dish which was also outstanding! Food was of excellent quality both presentation and taste!
