I'm a girl who loooooves her steak and Ruth Chris' has never let me down. I had a friend's birthday coming up and knew we had to go somewhere special -- where else but Ruth Chris? We had excellent wine including some from their ample selection of pinot noir as well as shiraz. They complimented our meal excellently and left... More

We started out going to Ruth's Chris and did the circuit of other steak houses. Their DC location was phenominal. The steak was perfect. Not burnt on the top but seared nicely. Service impeccable..constant water fill up. Philadelphia location also superb. More

Food was okay but the atmosphere sucks really bad. Not somewhere to go if you are looking for a festive or lively atmosphere. Decor needs major overhaul. More

Arrived on a reasonable busy Friday night, having just flown in from the UK. The bar is poor, with a surly bartender who took a long time to notice us, even though the bar was not busy when we arrived. The crab cake starters were delicious; the problem started when our main course did not arrive. We waited for about... More

“There are better steakhouses”

The ribeye was fine, but for 43$ and no sides it should have been excellent. The service was courteous and the restaurant was nice enough, it may need a facelift, but that's more of a comment about my personal tastes. My problem was with the food and the value of the food. Ruth Chris steakhouses are fairly predictable, so its... More

I had never been to this steak house before. My husband made sure I went on this trip to DC. We went on Halloween night. We had reservations and were seated immediately. Service is wonderful. We ordered the petit filet, and the lamb chops. Accompanied by one fully loaded baked potato, and a salad with blue cheese. The lamb chops... More

While visiting the US I always make a point of eating at Ruth's Chris Steak House. This trip we got to eat at this DC branch and the NYC one (51th Ave). The steaks my wife and I ordered were excellent as usual but the 'icing on the cake' for me are their shoelace fries. A total pleasure! Service is... More
