We had dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steak House and overall had a really nice experience. The food was well-prepared and flavorful — the steak was cooked perfectly and very tender, and the shrimp cocktail was fresh and nicely presented. The sides were generous, especially the mashed potatoes and baked potato, though the bread was a bit underwhelming. The atmosphere was elegant and calm, perfect for a relaxed evening, and the lighting added a cozy touch. Service was attentive and professional, though it felt slightly rushed at times. Prices are definitely on the higher end, but you can tell it’s meant to be a fine dining experience. Overall, it’s a great spot for a special occasion or a nice night out — quality food and a classic steakhouse vibe.

I loved the sizzling plate. I wish all the other steakhouses did that. My steak was hot throughout my entire meal. The creamed spinach was really good as well. The only downside was the price and also the parking situation close to the restaurant. But I loved my meal and hopefully I will go back whenever I can afford it.
