Ruth's Chris Steak House

Took my wife for her birthday. The staff was amazing. They made her day extra special with the decorations on the table. I scheduled using the reservation on google or open table one or the other. But they called me to confirm which was great. I did not get a steak that i heard so many people talk about but our shrimp and salmon was cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes and baked potatoe was not good. Mashed potatoes was watery an my baked potatoe was wet on the inside. But this did not stop us from having a good time. The meal for two people cost about $250. So if your cheap dont visit this resturant. Its very laid back and chill. They needed a band or someone playing the piano to really set the mood. 4 out 5 stars and i am happy I went.

Going to Ruth’s Chris for Christmas was one of my gifts from my husband. I love a good steakhouse, and after my experience at Marcel’s in Atlanta, my expectations were understandably high. Reservation The waiting area assigned for guests was small and extremely noisy, largely due to the hostess staff gathering and having unrelated conversations. Making a reservation felt pointless, as we were not seated until nearly an hour after our scheduled time. Dining Experience Once seated, we were told the bread had just gone into the oven and that we would receive some once it was ready. However, we watched multiple surrounding tables receive bread while we did not. Our waiter, Chris, went missing, and we eventually had to ask another waiter for bread. When it finally arrived, it was underbaked—pale and doughy in the center—and clearly needed another 3–5 minutes in the oven. We then experienced a lengthy wait for our entrées. When the food arrived, the presentation was extremely off-putting. One server explained that butter had splattered onto the rim of my plate and stated that it “wasn’t her fault.” Unfortunately, my $72 T-bone looked as though it had been served on a dirty plate. Simply wiping the rim before serving would have taken seconds and made a significant difference. Additionally, my husband’s waiter promised to refill his drink but again went missing. When the manager came to our table, he offered a very dry apology and essentially excused the poor plating as normal. Ruth’s Chris markets itself as an upscale dining experience. When guests pay premium prices, they expect premium service. Instead, we received less—less courtesy, less attentiveness, less quality, and no attempt at meaningful compensation. We are typically very generous tippers, especially during the holidays, often tipping 40%. However, the only tip I could leave after this experience is this: better business practices are what keep customers coming back. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

I was really looking forward to dinner at Ruth Chris, especially since I chose to stay at the Hilton just to be close by. The experience ended up being disappointing. The bar area was extremely loud, so I moved to the dining room. Even there, I was seated right by the door, and the noise was still overwhelming. The food missed the mark. The lobster mac tasted like sliced cheese, and the crab cakes had almost no flavor. The one bright spot was my server, Ally. She was kind, quick, and took great care of me. She deserves a full five out of five. Unfortunately the overall experience was not worth the visit, and I will not be staying here again or returning to the restaurant.

Went here for my birthday and it was an amazing experience. Before we even sat the hostess made it special by putting some birthday confetti on the table. Our server Ronnie did an amazing job on top of it getting refills for me and my mother. The food was so good 5 stars hands down

Went to Ruth’s Chris to celebrate my birthday. Ally was great and really attentive! There was a small mix-up with my birthday dessert plate, which was a little disappointing, but that wasn’t her fault. Another waiter brought it out before she finished preparing it 😞 Overall, the food was great and the service from my waitress was excellent.

Our waitress was great, I can’t remember her name, think it started with an S. She was very helpful tonight with accommodations and questions. The food however, wasn’t worth the price at all. Some of our sides came out cold, and the lamb was not the best. Great customer service though! My cousin did enjoy her birthday cheesecake though.

Had excellent service and such a nice time celebrating my mom’s birthday. Each and every one of the staff (from the hostess, server assistant, waiter, and the manager) were so personable and welcoming. Everyone did an incredible job making my mom feel so special for her birthday. The manager Thomas even came by the table to wish my mom a happy birthday. I’m so appreciative of the staff making today so special. As far as the food, I had the sea bass and lobster Mac and cheese (very very good). I also had brussel sprouts but i didn’t like them so I sent it back. My mom had the ribeye and mash potatoes which she really enjoyed. Our awesome server Kai even surprised my mom with a tasty birthday treat. Service was def a 10/10. Manager=Thomas Server name= Kai Server assistant= Trevon

I went to Ruth’s Chris last night before the Carolina women’s basketball game and had to write a review about the EXCELLENT service. From the pleasant hostess that helped us find our party, to the cheesecake that topped off the evening, our experience was top notch. A special acknowledgment for Anthony and Kam - we had a large party and there was a full bar, but they were incredibly professional, made great (and consistent) drinks, and were attentive all evening. Thanks again!

Skyler was my bartender and she was absolutely amazing some of the best service I've ever had at any bar five star or otherwise I strongly suggest if you come to this establishment you should come on a night that she's bartending

Meh. I remember a time when Ruth Chris was the staple for steakhouses and fine dining. It has since become an after thought. We came here for lunch while waiting for our hotel room to be ready. One of three tables there and service was very slow, drinks were ok and the food subpar. We each ordered the lunch prime burger, not much flavor and for the price not worth it. We also came here for breakfast the next day and it was disorganized. The only plus is my diamond membership for Hilton covered breakfast. We won't be back.

This was my first time patronizing Ruth's Chris, and it left a lot to be desired, unfortunately. Pros for this establishment are definitely the convenient downtown location and ample parking options. The decor and ambiance are also outstanding. Our server was Lynda (I believe this was the correct spelling), and she was a large part of this being a negative first experience for me. She seemed irritated when people asked questions or wanted to add something to their order, and had a condescending tone. When someone asked if the air could be turned up due to it being warm, she corrected by saying "you want the air to be COOLER." Our party had also brought in a cake for a birthday. When someone asked for a dessert menu, she replied with "you already have a cake that was brought." As a former server, I've never turned down someone wanting to order MORE food. Now, onto the food. We had several appetizers at our table and the spicy shrimp was the fan favorite. I would potentially come back and sit at the bar to enjoy this with a cocktail, especially if the bar service is better. My partner and I both had the pre-fixe meal with the filet and shrimp. Filet was fantastic! Sides were not good - steamed broccoli with no flavor and mashed potatoes that were cold, under salted, and tasted like a step above instant. Others at our table also said the mac and cheese dishes (both original and lobster) were flavorless. For the price, flavor, and service, I'm not sure that Ruth's Chris has earned a return visit from me.

If you're looking to have a great steak that is juicy, tender and cooked to perfection, then you need to make Ruth's Chris a must. Not only was the steak seasoned extremely well, the sides were sharable and delicious also. Our servers were very attentive and friendly coming around often to make sure we had what we needed. The restaurant is located inside the Hilton and there is a parking garage around the corner from the main entrance and you can park on the 2nd level and walk directly into the Hotel. They have very spacious seating where you can enjoy your meal and not feel like you're sitting on top of other people. The food, comfort and service is totally worth it!

This restaurant is located perfectly downtown Columbia. Great for entertainment or date night. Valet parking is available. We were greeted and seated upon arrival. The dining area is very spacious, clean, and inviting. Our waiter was super knowledgeable and provided suggestions from the menu. He answered every question to ensure we had a pleasant dining experience. The food was not the star of the show. Our dishes lacked flavor and did not meet my expectations. The macaroni was flavorless, we initially received the incorrect steak and the creamed spinach was disappointing. The Caesar salad and cocktail held this meal together. Not sure if I would visit again.

My girls and I were attending a dance competition and the restaurant is in the hotel we stayed in. I decided for us to do lunch here while waiting on our room to be ready. We also used the same restaurant for room service for the duration of our stay. For lunch, two of us ordered filets and they were perfectly seasoned and cooked as we ordered. The crab cakes were absolutely amazing!! My baby girl had a salad and burger which was delicious as well. Not only was the food amazing, the service was fantastic. The host sincerely explained that they were short staffed and asked if we could have patience before we sat down. I thought that was nice for him to explain things and not have me guessing what's going on. I honestly didn't have any issues with our food coming in a timely manner or our drinks being filled. They did an amazing job even if several people were out. I would most definitely stay here next year for our dance competition or if I need to visit the area beforehand.

The service (Ethan) was fine. I had a long day and just wanted to have a good meal and then go upstairs and crash. Ethan did a good job of checking in with me without being a bother. The food was horrible. I got the Filet & Shimp Price Fixe that came with a salad and mashed potates. I ordered the Filet Med Rare and it was medium... no big deal... still edible. The salad was fine. The mashed potatoes where just horrible. It was so bad that I took a picture where I picked up half of the potates with my fork. They are not supposed to do that. Why would someone serve that to anyone? I didn't complain because, like I said, it was a long day and I didn't have the emotional energy for the drama. This is also not a great restaurant if you are looking for quiet. I was doing things on my phone with my bluetooth in. I could hardly hear with the volume turned all the way up. So, if you don't mind loud, it will be great for you, as long as you want your masked potatoes in a hard lump.

I cannot say enough about the food here. If you want a really good steak, this is my go to. The cowboy ribeye (medium rare) is mouth watering delicious. The steak comes out sizzling on a hot plate, so I recommend going on step down in temperature than your usual because it's still cooking when it gets to the table. I dream about that sweet potato casserole. The server was very kind and recommended excellent wines. It's a very dimly lit white table cloth restaurant. It always does it for me!

I just attended a private gathering at Ruth Chris. Of course the service was impeccable. I was excited to attend because I have my favorite dishes. I was initially sad to not see some of my favorites not listed on the personalized menu. Just when I decided I would order the items a la carte, I tasted what was on the special menu and now I have new favorites. I just love that no matter which Ruth Chris I visit, each one is consistently delicious.

I took my wife out for her birthday yesterday and we went to Ruth's Chris. We were greeted promptly with smiles and without a reservation were immediately escorted to out table. I made a point to excuse myself for a minute to let staff know it was her birthday. The table was decorated with glittery cakes and spirals adding to the ambiance of the room. Our server, Justin was very gracious and attentive to all our needs throughout dinner and wished my wife a Happy Birthday with a sincere tone and mannerisms. We ordered a glass of wine, crab cakes, loaded baked potato, Asparagus and 2 filets. The food was amazing and cooked perfectly. We drove for an hour to reach this location but would gladly drive farther if necessary to have the experience that we had. Please accept our sincere gratitude for a wonderful evening out! We will return!!

Beautiful ambiance table settings, The service was top notch flawlessness. . We had the most perfect tomahawk steak seasoned with only salt and pepper, nicely charred and prepared medium rare. My highest compliments to the owner, chefs, hostess and waitress and waiters. Sorry, I didn't take any pictures, I was to busy eating!

The hostess surprised us with setting our table with decorations for our anniversary! Then our waitress, Renee was AWESOME!! The food was delicious and the service was great!! The whole experience will be a wonderful memory for us!! The tomahawk steak was perfection!! Thanks to everyone for giving us a wonderful anniversary!!

Seven of our lunch group went here today for a Christmas luncheon. We had five orders of the Prime Hamburger and two Orders of the Chicken Sandwich. We ordered sides of French fries, Onion Rings and Broccoli. The burgers were cooked perfectly and very large. Onion Rings were really good and everyone liked their food. Atmosphere, Service and ambience is what was to be expected of a Ruths Chris. I would say the burger was great but could've used a little salt. Not the best burger in town, but very good. We were served fresh loaves of hot bread and butter on the table. I'd go back just for the bread! So good.

To people's surprise, I have never been to Ruth's Chris before so I decided that would be the choice to treat my bf for his birthday weekend. When I was making a reservation, I was honestly surprised they had any open for last minute. We made ours for 5:30 pm when was actually perfect timing. So just like any other steakhouse, they have a dress code but when you go in there's tons of ppl who are in sneakers, jeans, etc. and usually the bar area is extremely loud and gives off pub vibes a little. But once they take you back to the dining area, it's quieter and little more "elegant ". As soon as we sat down, they brought water and bread with a tablet that showed wine and spirits. They explained how everything works regarding the plates and services before we ordered. For appetizers e got calamari and mushrooms stuffed with crabmeat, and we got lamb chops, garlic crusted sea bass, and creamed spinach. The calamari was so good and came with like a Thai chili type sauce but I would have preferred it on the side because it did make the calamari a little soggy. I don't necessarily like mushrooms but those we had with the stuffed crabmeat was delectable. The mushrooms were cooked perfectly and added a nice texture to the crabmeat which added flavor. On to the stars! The lamb chops were cooked medium just how we like it, tender and seasoned just right. It wasn't too salty and had a lot of flavor. The sea bass was cooked beautifully and it was so tender, it was easy to get piece by piece with the fork. The panko garlic crust on top added a nice salty crunch to the fish and both meats paired so well with the spinach. It was so creamy and just added another layer of flavor. We also got some drinks, an old fashioned and a hibiscus lemon drop. They were really strong but good. My lemon drop was tart and had a hint of hibiscus which gave it a floral taste which was a nice palette cleanser. I can never leave without dessert so I got a crème brûlée. I normally never eat the fruit with the custard but their strawberries and blueberries were so fresh and sweet, it was amazing with the perfectly sugar crusted custard. One of the best ones I've had. Our bill was about $229 which wasn't bad at all. The food was amazing and we had a great date night experience.

We had a wonderful time at the Ruth's Chris bar in the Hilton DT Columbia. We had 3 appetizers for a group of 6: Tuna- cooked perfectly Shrimp-had a light spicy coating, sweet Calamari-tempura fried, excellent All 5 stars and were filling.

We had reservations and were not seated until 30 minutes after our reservation time. The salad and bread were good but not great We waited 40 minutes on our entree's and my husband's $68 ribeye was Luke warm and my $58 shrimp was inedible and served on a plate that appeared to have been smeared with steak juice. NOT the experience that you expect from a FINE dining establishment. Thumbs down

The food was great. This is my second time at this restaurant and the second time was a win! Our waiter Ethan was amazing and attentive.

Seven of our lunch group met here today for lunch. Five of us ordered the Prime Hamburger and two ordered the Chicken Sandwich. Sides were Onion Rings, Fries and Broccoli. As usual, the waitress was very prompt, service great and so was the atmosphere. We had great fresh hot bread with butter at the table while we waited for our orders. The burgers were quite large and done as each of us had ordered them. The chicken sandwiches were also good. This was a special dinner for us just to celebrate the year end of our trying out restaurants in the local area. I think all gave it a rating of five stars. I must say the hamburger was excellent...I thought it may need a bit of salt, but it was very good.

Well honey this experience was more than epic. Let's see how my 1st experience was. Let's get started, when you first walked in we are greeted by a hostess. I had to ask to repeat herself because she kept mumbling. About the third try, she spoke louder so I understood, she asked if we wanted a cocktail and wine menu. The restaurant is very clean and in order, that WOWed me. From the silverware to the napkin placement was what was expected and they hit the mark. This wins my first star. Our waiter Kai, had great energy. Based off his demeanor, i knew he was going to be awesome. He gave amazing drink choices and great food options. Kai definitely wins my 2nd star. Our 3rd star goes to the drinks. Ruth Chris Bartender did not slack on the alcohol in the drinks. We ordered the Strawberry rosemary cosmo (changed from the Raspberry Rosemary cosmo) and the hibiscus lemon drop martini. Both were made perfect mixed with the right amount of alcohol and flavor. Food time! The food was more than I expected. It was made to perfection from the moist lamb chops to the perfectly seasoned steak the chef did not leave any crumbs. The lobster mac and cheese added a great touch to the meal. The garlic mash potatoes, let's just say I had better. It wasn't what I thought it would be. That was the only thing that I was disappointed with. The portion size of each of the sides is a lot. You can definitely share with the table. Definitely gave the food our 4th star. The highlight of the night was the dessert. Kai personalized the dessert and I was well worth it. If you are in the columbia area, make sure you stop by Ruth Chris and check out their establishment. And don't forget to ask for Kai he will def make you come back!!

My son graduated this week from Army BCT, so we flew out to see the graduation and stayed at the Hilton. Decided to go here for celebration dinner, as it's in the hotel. Very glad we did! The food of course was great, but the service was next level! Our server and her team were awesome! My son felt like a rockstar with how she treated him. His girlfriend had the salmon and loved it, cooked to perfection. He had the lobster and is still talking about how good it was, lol! I had the ribeye and loved it! Thank you guys for the extras as well and making my son feel so special, you rock!

Early libation and a nice "HappyHour" menu...before Dawn Staley and Lady Cocks Rock...RC is well known regional steakhouse chain...bar (small) was tightly packed; however service was excellent, Titos martini and appetizer's to choose. We went with lettuce wraps with servings of filet....UmmmmSoTasty. Thanks to nephew for LCocks ticket; Coach Dawn has a very elite team....GO COCKS....

Seated 45 mins late for reservation. Main part of meal served, mostly cold, approximately 45 minutes after salad No explanation. Billed for unordered/ not received itemAfter horrible service they added automatic gratuity of 20% - small party of 5. Odd. Won't be back.

Anthony was phenomenal, helped me out with great recommendations! Food hit the spot after a long day.

Great food Excellent service Better than any other steakhouse Wedge salad with Blue Cheese is very tasty Cream spinach is a specialty but not to my liking Other sides won't disappoint RUTH'S offers a great meal

Mickey is the best. Great service and very engaging. Always stop in there when in town. Highly recommend!!

Food was excellent. Service was over the moon. We had Ken as our waiter and he took good care of us. We had the BBQ shrimp, Chilean sea bass, and TBone steak. Our sides were creamed spinach and sweet potato soufflé. The soufflé was so good! We had cheesecake for dessert, which came with ice cream. We had reservations and were seated immediately. The dining room was not too crowded. The ambiance was relaxing and elegant. This place is pricey, but I would say is worth it.

Service was abysmal. Manager was rude and inconsiderate. This venue puts the Ruth's Chris name to shame. I would avoid this establishment at all costs. Overpriced is one thing, but to be treated with such rude individuals is disgraceful.

Service was horrible. If you like to pay top dollar for service that was slow and delivered with an attitude of not caring this is the place for you. Even when the server realized there were problems he did nothing to fix the situation. I would highly recommend any of the other restaurants in Columbia, do not go here

I ordered to have my food delivered. I ordered the large fillet. That and the house salad cost me over $100. Door dash was fine with the delivery, but even though I had requested utensils since I was staying in a hotel, none were provided. So I was able to get some utensils at the hotel and was excited to eat my steak. It was the worst steak I have ever had. It was 80% gristle. How do you screw up a fillet? I called, but couldn't reach anyone. I left multiple messages through their online service and never received a response back. I used to love Ruth's Chris steakhouse. What an incredible disappointment all around. I literally threw away all my money except for my $17 house salad. I will never go there again.

This was my second time at Ruth Chris and I enjoyed my time again. I went for a birthday dinner. It was about eight of us. We started with a glass of wine, which was nice. The starter bread that you get is really good. The butter is so smooth & tasty! I ordered the stuffed chicken (9/10) and calamari (9/10). Both were delicious! The service was pretty good from the bar to the table. We sat at the bar while we waited on more guest to come. The restaurant is set up and nice and is very convenient if you are staying in the hotel attached to it. The bar area is super cozy and good to watch a game at!

Came here to celebrate a birthday party because having a juicy steak on your birthday is the only appropriate way to celebrate! Lol! Since this wasn't my birthday, I ordered the lamb chops and I was slightly disappointed :( I ordered them medium rare but the lamb chops were tough! I opted not to send it back for an adjustment because I didn't want to be one of those people and it took forever to get the food and I was starved. Had tolerated as much of the bread that I could tolerate. But tough lamb was Such a disappointment. Everyone who ordered a steak at the table gave great reviews so if I return, I will try a steak. Our service was great. Made a reservation on resy and arrived about 10 to 15 mins before seating time and was seated promptly at 7:30. Took about 2 hours here and overall the experience was enjoyable.

It's always great to celebrate life celebration. The ambiance was great as well as the decor. We were celebrating a birthday so they put out mini birthday confetti on the table. Service was a little slow but there were several large parties seated next to us so that could have been the issue that night. For the food. I ordered the 3 course meal with Caesar salad, 6oz steak with shrimp & loaded mashed potatoes and I had the house dessert. The food was good. I enjoyed the salad, the steak was tender, I gave my dessert away (allergy) My kids ordered the cheeseburger kids meal with fries. Their review was that the burger was juicy and tender. Overall we enjoyed our visit. I will say I wasn't wowed for the price tag but for the occasion, it was nice.

Love the food and Lynda was the best. She made us feel as if we were family ! The steaks never disappoint . We came at the perfect time during the week not too busy but busy enough.

Food has declined & so had service. It used to be that you couldn't walk in RC dressed in tank tops & tennis shoes. Not the case anymore. Casual as ever & low class. Prices are the same but service is slow at best. Kayla was good but slow to intro & afterwards. I think this locale is used to not getting tips & service reflects. Soon as it was realized that we weren't the norm, service picked up. It's the locale that brings a bad taste to RC. I wont be back.

The food and service was amazing. Mickey served up the coldest martinis! Highly recommend sitting at the bar for dinner!

Hello! This was our first time dining at Ruth Chris in Columbia, and it WILL NOT be the last. First, we made reservation for 2 at 515pm and when we arrived at 500pm we were seated at at 515pm to me that was a plus. Secondly, our server came over immediately asked how are we doing and was this special occasion, our server was bubbly and very attentive. We placed our order and our dinner arrived within 25 minutes and I must say the plates were very pleasing to our eyes, and to put the icing on the cake the quality and taste of the meal was excellent. We will be returning soon. Keep up the awesome hospitality..

Renee H was awesome again. Even with several other tables, she tool great care of us with that always warm smile. Great experience all the way around.

Husband and I were celebrating our anniversary. I had always wanted to go to Ruth Chris Steak House but I was very very disappointed. When a restaurant charge this much money for food they should be on the top of their game. The food was just ok! My wedge salad was good. Our steaks were just ok. Bbq shrimp...not a fan at all. Bake potatoes was a monster and the way they put the loaded on it was not nice looking at all. Lobster, Brussels sprouts were average. Service was ok. Server needs to pay more attention to customer table and details. Server never ask if we want another drink, if everything was ok, did we need anything. Dessert was good. It was way over priced to get just an ok meal and service. I can not recommend Ruth Chris.

Server Marcus excellent service wonderful experience will be back for more and more thanksgreat food

My wife and I enjoyed an impromptu dinner in the bar lounge section of Ruth's Chris. The pouring rain outside kept us at the Hilton and we decided to eat in. We were quickly greeted by the bar team of Rachel & James. Their teamwork and service made for an outstanding meal! We highly recommend you ask for the Rachel & James team when in Columbia S.C.!

This was our first trip to Ruth's Chris in Columbia-- but not nearly the first trip to Ruth's Chris. It was the worst experience I can remember. The service was terrible. We didn't complain because there was only one seemingly pleasant and interested person on the premises, and she was scarce. The food was average (fine, but not what we've experienced previously by far). The service was TERRIBLE from the greeting at the host stand through the end. The meal took over 2 hours and we had to ask for attention more than once. To spend an average of $100 per person for dinner and to leave disappointed is inexcusable. Looking back, it's clear now why so few people were in the dining room. The hotel environment didn't help because it certainly didn't elevate the experience. We won't be back.

S/O to Will the manager at Ruth Chris... We ran point on a previous issue with a past visit but that's besides the point. I think the waiter was named Steven (Deep Voice) we were given great service from start to finish and it was my wife's and I anniversary. Even though the lamb chops were sold out Will and Steven made up for the inconvenience. I'll checc bacc another day for my lamb... Will hope you get that promotion you deserve and thank you for going the extra mile

not worth the money. not even close. ordered medium rare filet, but the plates are sooooo hot that it was well done by the time it came out to the table. plates are put in a salamander and the plate is scalding and look dirty with splatter. $216 for 2 with tip. won't be going back. poor ambiance and service isn't that great.

as others have said, don't come here in jeans and a t-shirt. definitely dress up, plus it's worth it to have a fun occasion to do that for. service here is 10/10, our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable. he even told us the backstory behind the wine we had. the bread and butter came first. it is so good, warm and delicious. our appetizer was a shrimp dish, amazing! the siracha combination sauce was so good i had to ask what sauce it was. the lobster mac and cheese is to die for. order some, the side is big enough for 4 people to share. same goes for the other sides we got: creamed spinach, broccoli, and fries. the steak and shrimp dish i ordered was amazing! cooked very well, i ordered it medium. the desserts we had were great: i believe it was a chocolate mouse cheesecake and an apple pie or something similar. it was all good. 10/10, definitely worth every dime.

Great steak, yummy crispy fries and delicious shrimp but their version of a crab cake is absolutely appalling. I feel like most great steak places who serve crab cakes make them with jumbo lump crab. The ones we tried were a little larger than golf balls and tasted like they were made with a substantial amount of bread crumbs. If you're not going to make them correctly, leave them off the menu. Again, mostly great food, nice hosts and server but the crab cakes - no.

Took my wife out for dinner at Ruth Chris. Food amazing. Kalief was a greater server. If you go ask for Kalief.

This was my first experience at this Ruth's Chris and I usually leave good reviews for restaurants. But this first time experience was literally disappointing. Our waiter Thomas L. #409 was NOT attentive to our table at all. We waited over 2 hours for our order to arrive at our table. My wife had to ask 4 times just for a cup of ice.. There was SO MUCH wrong that I refuse to waste more time written it out. Don't believe I will be back to this location at 924 Senate Street Columbia, SC

I was served by James a few nights back and was very pleased with his service. Although it took quite a while for my food to be made and brought out, over an hour, James kept checking on my table and making sure I was okay. If I ever go back I will definitely ask for James again!

Had a wonderful time! We were greeted and seated fairly quick. Food was cooked perfectly. My server, James, was amazing!! He was extremely personable!
