Wonderful location for anyone staying in the downtown area. This restaurant is a wee bit pricey, but well worth the $$$! Best steak I've ever eaten! Service was good, location good, food awesome!

This place is great if you like steak. Their filet comes out in a dish with boiling butter, I have never seen this any where else. It tastes great. It is one of my favorite steak places. My favorite side is the sweet potatoes and they taste like candy.

I was at this very expensive restaurant in late January, and have simmered over the horrible meal. We were a party of 8 people and told the waiter up front that we needed separate checks, and were assured that this was no problem. Service was horrible. He didn't seem to care about what or when we needed anything. Water glasses... More

This is why I go to Ruth's Chris. Steaks are the highest quality as well as other dishes. Petite Filet was well cooked though the Bone-In Filet was a little under done but still very good. Service was friendly even though our server was working a large party at another table. Cocktails could use some work as the pour in... More

Every Ruth Chris I have ever eaten at has always had consistent quality and taste! I have eaten at Ruth Chris Singapore, Fresno, CA and San Diego, CA. All were exceptional with steak beyond compare to any other steak house.

Great service, amazing quality food and nice ambience. I've been to a few Ruth's and the consistency throughout the locations is what makes this franchise so amazing. No matter which city I go, it is nice to find a Ruth's. we had a group of 10 and reservations were a breeze even though it was a short notice. They had... More

Ruth's Chris in Del Mar is by far one of my favorite restaurants. The food and service is excellent. The steaks are always cooked to perfection and the creme brulee is to die for!
