The PPP Loan Application Deadline Is Here, $130 Billion Is Unspent | Eater

"Accepted a multi-million-dollar PPP loan in the program’s initial wave, drawing backlash for taking large relief intended for small businesses; the loan to this high-profile steakhouse was frequently cited as an example of how the program’s early rollout favored established chains over smaller, often underserved restaurants that faced greater barriers to accessing aid." - Elazar Sontag

What Reopening Looks Like Around the World | Eater

"A high-profile steakhouse group that was singled out for accepting Paycheck Protection Program funds early in the pandemic; amid criticism that big restaurant groups were taking loans ahead of smaller businesses, the company returned its loan (reported in the $7–20 million range) after public pressure." - Amanda Kludt

How Shake Shack and Sweetgreen Ended Up With Small-Business Loans | Eater

"A large national steakhouse chain faced heavy public criticism for accepting millions in Paycheck Protection Program funds intended for small businesses; its eligibility stemmed from a CARES Act provision that assessed restaurants by employees “per physical location” (500 or fewer), a change advocated by the Independent Restaurant Coalition rather than the chains themselves." - Caleb Pershan

Incredible deal on the $55 5 course special. Steak was cooked for perfection. Best crab cakes. Bear cheesecake I've ever had, and I don't even like cheesecake. They had an issue with our older gift card, but were able to come to a good compromise. Bar staff was good.

Went there to celebrate a birthday with our neighbors and it was my first time. The valet was $15, but my mom is 89 so it was worth it to just pop out right in front. The host saw ee had made reservations and brought us to our table. The menu was clear and easy to pick. We all got the three-part dinner. Steak, mashed potatoes, a vegetable, and dessert. Very delicious filets and tender and juicy. Mom and I got virgin Chi Chis to drink. Everyone else got sodas or water. They have a large wine selection too. After we had the bread and butter and our meals we were treated to free cake for all due to my birthday. I also ordered crème brûlée and it was delicious!! All in all a great night and perfect meal!

We had an outstanding experience at Ruth’s Chris last night. The staff was exceptionally accommodating from, and the level of service exceeded expectations from the moment we arrived. Even though we were seated in the bar area, the manager made a point to check in on us personally, which added a thoughtful and genuinely welcoming touch. The attention to detail and the overall hospitality made the evening great even being on a business trip.

The service is phenomenal. Spicy shrimp is to die for. Lobster had great taste. We upgraded our steaks to filet mignon and even though we order medium-rare, it was tough and my steak had sinew running right through the entire steak. For a place that is supposed to be famous for steak, it wouldn't even hit my top ten steaks list. Maybe the other cuts are better, but we were disappointed.

I can always count on Ruth Chris for an excellent dinner! They did not disappoint. I met a friend for dinner and bonus they have a three-course meal for $55. It was so delicious and very filling! We will definitely go back soon!

They have a three course menu for $55. Good value if you can just have that but when you add a glass of wine $15-$20 and upgrade your steak to petit filet or 16oz New York ($20) and upgrade cheesecake to carrot cake ($5) plus 20% tip and 10% tax you will get to $100+ per person very easily. Every item was delicious including the side dishes. Atmosphere not as nice as Flemings

Always a pleasure and treat to dine here at Ruth Chris. I hadnt been to Ruth Chris in a few years until last night to celebrate my 18th birthday and forgot how much I missed it. The atmosphere and customer service was so lovely and truly boujee. Both my menu and my free cheesecake dessert were specialized and said Happy 18th Birthday Angelynn on it. The table was also covered with birthday sequins all over! We brought an extra cake from Portos as well for me and my parents to share for the celebration and they were able to store it in their fridge during dinner and put a candle on it when desert came out! Now onto the food: The filet steak is definitely a must get; I got the petite filet medium and it was SO tender, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and literally melted in my mouth. The calamari had a unique twist to it and tasted of sweet/sour sauce. Of course the bread, baked potato, and au gratin were classics and delicious.Thank you Ruth Chris for making my birthday so special and elegant! I will be coming back again in the future!

The "new" prime steak with $55 prix-fixe item was amazingly the best steak I have EVER hat at Ruth's. Five stars all around. Thanks to Claudia, Valentino and Mar for a great anniversary dinner for us.

My son surprised us with a date night at Ruth's Chris Steak House, and it was truly unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect from the warm welcome to the attentive service. I had been here before for Mother's Day, but it was my husband's first time, and he absolutely loved it. We enjoyed the filet mignon, mashed potatoes, and asparagus everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. For dessert, we shared a decadent chocolate cake, the sweetest ending to a wonderful evening. A glass of red wine, great food, and the cozy, elegant atmosphere made it the perfect date night. We left with full hearts and smiles thank you, Ruth's Chris, for making our night so special. We'll definitely be back!

My friend surprised me with a birthday dinner here and Ruth's was so thoughtful in having a menu with my name on it. As well as confetti on the table to make it fun. The steaks were so good and perfect with the red wine. The veggies were good. Everything was so good. Including the cheesecake at the end for my birthday. As well we're leaving the restaurant, the front staff even said happy birthday one last time addressing me by my name. I was so surprised and impressed by their level of thoughtfulness. Thank you Ruth's for going above and beyond for making this day even more special and memorable.

Yesterday, we had dinner at Ruth's Chris, and I noticed that the quality of the food has declined. We've dined here before and experienced great food, but this time it was mediocre at best--nothing special at all. If you're spending $80 to $100 per person, the experience should be worth it more importantly the food. The quality! I would recommend Steak 48 to anyone who truly appreciates good quality meat and food. In my opinion, this place deserves only 3 stars at best. It makes sense that when a chain restaurant expands too much, the quality decreases, and that's definitely the case with Ruth's Chris in Pasadena. Enjoy wasting your money here.

The service at Ruth's Chris is always great! From valet to hosts, to our very attentive server Victor. I had a delicious lemon drop martini. As far as food, we ordered the spicy shrimp which was 10/10. I ordered the ribeye and my husband got a filet + lobster. We both enjoyed this component of our meal. For sides, we picked the au gratin, garlic mash, and Brussels sprouts. Although the garlic mash was great, the other two sides were not. The Brussels were so dry and under seasoned. Very underwhelming. The au gratin was also bland. As far as ambience goes, we were seated in an awkwardly lit area that felt like

Came in for an early dinner on Saturday. We arrived about 20 minutes early and waited at the bar until our table was ready. Service was great, and the food was delicious. Valet was only $15--there was plenty of parking available, but valet was definitely convenient. We've been to several locations, and this one is easily one of the best.

I've always considered Ruth's Chris a place for a nice, upscale dining experience, but my recent visit left me disappointed. The restaurant was extremely loud, and the overall atmosphere felt chaotic -- nothing like the refined, relaxing environment I've come to expect. The food was good, and the staff did their best, but it's hard to enjoy your meal when you can barely hear the person across the table. For the price, I expected a more comfortable and polished experience. Sadly, it no longer feels like the special night out it used to be.

I enjoyed my time at Ruth Chris as all the sides was good. The crab cakes were delicious. I also got a blueberry mojito which was refreshing. I like my meat medium rare (which we asked for) but the steak came out very rare, they have the plates come out extremely hot so it cooks the meat but I wasn't a fan because I had to cut it all to slices and lay it on the plate to 'cook' before I can eat which I wasn't a fan of bc i usually like to just as I cut as I eat. The service was awesome and our server was very knowledgeable.

Ruth's Chris never disappoints. Not even with their Dine LA menu. I thought the portions would be smaller but they are not. They are exactly the same as if you would order them a la carte. The service is just as wonderful - our server Wally was attentive as he was hilarious. He made sure our water glasses were always full and was nearby in case we needed anything else. He made us feel so cared for and we appreciated him so much for that especially because I had a hard week. Ruth's Chris is perfect for any occasion. We go when we want to celebrate something big or mundane because no matter what, the dining experience is consistently fantastic. We always get so much value - we never leave without doggy bags of leftovers.

First time at Ruth's Chris and the steak definitely lived up to the hype--cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Definitely the best part of the meal. The lobster was just okay, a bit overcooked. Sides were underwhelming: mashed potatoes were basic, broccoli was mostly yellow and bland, and the goat cheese artichoke dip was tasty but went to waste since you're only given a couple pieces of bread to share. Seems like they easily could've done better there. How much could a couple more pieces of bread cost you? Salad was fresh but the balsamic dressing was overwhelmingly globbed on, way too tangy for that much dressing. Service was what you'd expect at an upscale steakhouse--professional, attentive, and paced well to allow for the presentation. I was here for a sponsored pharma dinner of ~30 and the private room worked well for the event. Projector setup from the ceiling had me craning my neck up the whole time. Attire was business casual or nicer. Valet available, but parking garage across the street isn't validated. Overall: great free steak, meh everything else. Would I come back and pay full price? Maybe--for the steak alone. Still gave 4 stars since I have been craving a correctly cooked steak and they hit it on mark with that.

Twelve years ago, I came to Ruth's Chris for the first time and it completely changed everything I thought I knew about steak. It was a game-changer. Coming back more than a decade later, I was nervous I had built it up too much in my head, worried it wouldn't live up to the memory. Alas, it was every bit as incredible as the first time. My wife and I chose to celebrate our anniversary here, and from the moment we arrived, the experience felt special. The table was decorated with hearts, and the menu was personalized with our names, a thoughtful and unexpected touch. Our server, "Stone Cold Steve" Patrick (he'll get it if he sees this), was outstanding. Friendly, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable, he went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. We started with the warm, complimentary bread and butter, followed by the French Onion soup (soup of the day), which was the ideal start to a cozy dinner on a cold, rainy night. For appetizers, we had the Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. Both are fantastic. The Brussels sprouts are roasted, served with crispy bacon and a touch of honey butter that adds just the right amount of sweetness. And the garlic mashed potatoes are exactly what you want next to a great steak: creamy, flavorful, and comforting. For our main course, we shared the Porterhouse for Two, ordered medium. It arrived slightly more on the medium-rare side (still delicious) but the staff insisted on correcting it and returned it perfectly cooked. To make up for the mix-up, they also gave us a complimentary sweet potato casserole, which turned out to be an unexpected highlight. I normally wouldn't think to order it, but it tasted like Thanksgiving. It's warm, spiced, and topped with a crisp pecan crust. As for the steak: it was simply phenomenal. The Porterhouse for Two is Ruth's Chris' signature cut, combining the best of both worlds - a flavorful New York Strip on one side and a tender Filet Mignon on the other, served sizzling on a 500-degree plate to keep every bite hot and juicy (watch the video I posted to hear that beautiful sound). It reminded me exactly why I fell in love with this place in the first place. We paired it with a glass of red wine, expertly recommended by Patrick, and it brought everything together beautifully. To top off the night, they brought us a complimentary cheesecake dessert with two glasses of champagne to celebrate our anniversary, yet another thoughtful gesture that really made the evening feel special. All in all, it was a flawless experience: warm service, incredible food, and the perfect setting for a memorable date night. I definitely won't be waiting another 12 years to come back.

Beautiful and classy restaurant in Pasadena, so parking can be difficult depending on time of day. We came in during dinner on a weekday and we were able to find street parking only a block away. Service here is excellent. Servers are attentive to your requests and do a wonderful job serving our table. We came here for a financial seminar so the meal was complimentary, but I've been here previously as a paying customer, and the quality of their service and food is top notch. Everyone has their preference on steak flavor/seasoning. Ruth Chris is known for the buttery steaks and I love it. Each steak is served on a HOT cask iron plate with sizzling butter - delish! Their sides are also very good - we had the cream spinach and garlic mash potatoes. These aren't diet dishes, their splurge and indulgent dishes - so enjoy. They also have a pretty decent happy hour in the bar area.

Came for a work event for a presentation. The service was a little slower than usual but we were a party of like 40 people. The filet mignon was seared to perfection with the right amount of seasoning. The star was the starter with goat cheese and artichoke dip with roasted garlic pita bread. Yummy!!

Came here to celebrate my birthday! We were welcomed with some nice confetti on the table and a personalized menu. Nice touches! Our server was Destiny, she was so sweet and took her time to explain the menu and chat with us. Super friendly, would return just for her! My husband ordered the ribeye, medium rare. He liked it, but said it was a bit greasy as there was a bunch of oil on his plate. I ordered the petite fillet with scallops, which was on the seasonal menu. Both were well seasoned. The garlic mashed potatoes did not have enough garlic, it was just like normal mashed potatoes. The mushrooms were good but a bit salty. All the dishes were good but nothing extraordinary. We received a complimentary cheesecake for my birthday. This was the perfect end to our dinner :)

We came here to celebrate our 40th anniversary. We had a complimentary appetizer, and shared a great tasting Tomahawk Ribeye steak, we also shared the Chilean Seabass, it was all SUPERB!!! Our waiter was excellent, made sure it all was to our satisfaction. And I must say we were very impressed with Dylan Lewis, the Manager. He kept coming around and checking to make sure we were happy with all our choices and that our steak and Seabass was cooked to perfection, and so it was. Never had such great service. Thank you all!!

You can't go wrong. Always delicious always best temperature of food and taste till the last bite. My son's favorite spot always ! Everything is delicious and the kitchen has always done an excellent job. Service is good and drinks are great! This place knows what they are doing. I prefer this location over Anaheim. Pasadena you are always doing a superb job. Thank you for the quality and good memories!

Celebrated a birthday dinner here and food was really good. Both our first times and they printed our menu with each of our names on it for keepsakes! Ribeye steak was very juicy and tender which was seasoned perfectly. Lobster mac n cheese had a good amount of meat on top and wasn't overwhelmingly cheesy.

We came here to celebrate a wedding anniversary. When my husband called to make a reservation they took note of what we're celebrating and even customized our menus to wish both of us a happy anniversary by name. This was the best calamari I've ever had, and I order calamari at every restaurant that has calamari on their menu. It's served with more of a sweet chili sauce than a traditional marinara. I could have ordered a second plate. And the red bell peppers were a yummy pairing. Everytime we eat at Ruth's Chris we always order the lobster Mac and cheese. My shrimp and salmon were cooked to perfection. And the table bread was so yummy!

Came here for a date night with the hubs. We ordered the filet mignon with shrimp and the sea bass. The filet mignon was delicious and cooked to perfection. The cesar salad however was pretty bad - it was super salty and drenched in dressing. The customer service was outstanding - the manager came over to check on us and our waiter was extremely attentive and polite. Parking was valet but you can also park across the street in the public parking covered garage. I recommend Ruth's for date night but overall I think I like other steakhouses more - so I honestly probably won't be back even though the food was great (except cesar salad!).

Loved the effort they put in for celebrating my partners birthday, but a few things I didnt like... they sat us next to a private booth near the entrance of it so I sat directly next to where the server would packaged up the foods which took away from the high quality of the place when all I could use is utensils clacking real loud. Another thing I saw a serve sneeze while he was refilling all the water pitchers and didn't bother to sneeze away from the location. Although I do like the personalized birthday, I didn't like how every staff that helped us just kept asking are we celebrating our anniversary or a birthday, which seem unorganized. The food was good.

Loved this meal 16 oz sirloin steak and salmon. Sides consisted of creamed spinach and mashed potatoes (no pic) and their salad was a nice portion. Their bread loaf (no pic) was very warm and whipped butter was easily spreadable! Located off Colorado Nlvd & Los Robles in beautiful Pasadens.

What isn't amazing about this place?! Came here for me and my mom's birthdays, both our names were written on our menus! The service here is always top notch, better than many other high end steak houses in LA. The prices are similar to any high end place, but the steaks here are always cooked so well. The service was exceptional, from the time we entered til we left. The appetizers were delish, we had the tuna and calamari. My wife had lamb chops cooked medium, which were perfect. I got the ribeye medium rare and oscar, it was also cooked to perfection. The cheesecake was a nice end to the night, so good! People knock RC because it's a chain, but don't let that fool you. Everything about this place is top notch and will make you feel full and happy.

We were seated a few minutes early, appreciated that. Our co-server got us situated, and then disappeared. We ordered immediately with our main server, $55 3 course special. The couple next to us was seated 10 minutes after us, and ordered similarly about 10 minutes after they were seated. Their food arrived 20 minutes prior to ours. When my 8 oz Prime thick cut strip arrived, it was ordered mid-rare. It was blue, uncooked through 80% of it. It had the most sinus and fat I've ever had at a steakhouse. My first bit was 100% fat and since. Amusingly, my waiter included that piece I'd pulled from my mouth, and included it in our take home. For upscale, Morton's or Flemming's is far better. Texas Roadhouse trims their steaks far better than this Pasadena location.

If you're looking for a dinning experience that seamlessly blends warm hospitality delectable cuisines, and stunning ambiance, look no further than Ruth Chris. We came for Friday night dinner to celebrate my wife's and dear friend's birthdays and weren't disappointed. The restaurant made this celebration extra special with happy birthday menus, confetti on the table, and complimentary desserts. From the moment we walked into the restaurant we were greeted by a warm and accommodating hostess staff that set the tone for a memorial evening. Our Lead Server Jorge was amazing, he walked us through the menu and made certain excellent recommendations. Now let's talk about the heart and soul of Ruth Chris, the food. The menu boasts an array American steakhouse cuisine that transported our tastebuds to various levels. Each dish we ordered was a culinary masterpiece with a perfect blend of flavors and textures that showcased management's commitment to quality and authenticity. In conclusion, Ruth Chris is an iconic gem that goes beyond just being a restaurant but an experience. It succeeded our expectations not only by satisfying our palates but created a long lasting impression of an amazing dinning experience. The spot is definitely a Chef driven culinary destination that has encouraged return visits, we'll definitely be back!

Came here for my 15th year anniversary, on the section for special requests, I asked for "Happy 15th Anniversary Emily & Jeff" to be typed out. They missed the detail of the 15th... but oh wells. When we got there, you have the option of paying for valet, or also parking across the street. We were seated promptly at a table with some decorations on it and our personalized menu. We got started on some warm yummy bread and butter and appetizers of crab cakes and lobster bisque. The crab cakes were the best I've ever haddd! The lobster bisque tasted a bit too much like wine, so I would pass on that. As for the lobster mac and cheese and garlic mashed potatoes, they were also okay, the steaks were good and cooked to perfection, my lobster tasted a bit overcooked for my preference. Overall, this was not a bad experience, I'd come back, especially for the crab cakes!

It started horribly wrong but it ended in great satisfaction. They literally forgot about our table for the first 30min, but it was a simple human error, they were busy. Since this was our anniversary, we were not happy about the initial experience. After notifying the staff, they really made it up. Exceptional service! The place was busy but good vibe. The food was great, however, they do use a LOT of butter. I love butter, but i figured it may not be the same for everyone's liking. I highly recommend this place, the waiters are attentive and I really appreciate the great experience, they understood their mistakes and made up 100x more than what I expected.

Food and service are great here. The ambiance is ok. The inside is not as cool as STK but Ruth Chris's is still better food wise. We crushed a tomahawk, lobster Mac and cheese, sweet potato casserole, mushrooms, creamed spinach, side lobster tail, and a Caesar salad. The food was delicious. The tomahawk in my opinion ranks third best in this city compared to only #2 Strand in Manhattan Beach and number 1 is Gardel's on Melrose. Great job on that. The lobster mac was tasty. The sweet potato was the show stopper here and I highly recommend it. All in all this was a fantastic experience. Best of all this lovely place made a birthday menu for the homie.

My partner and I went to Ruth's Chris steak house to celebrate our 3 year anniversary last night. We had and amazing time. From the beginning of us checking in Antonio really went out of his way to be hospitable. To our server Destiny who was amazing! She was very professional and attentive. Everyone from the staff that we interacted with were very hospitable and kind. We had the porterhouse for two, the steak was phenomenal! The filet mignon side of the steak melted in our mouth's like butter. The steak house bought us an appetizer we chose the crab cakes. They were delicious! I also had the Greygoose dirty martini with delicious blue cheese stuffed olives. We sat at a booth, the dim lighting throughout the restaurant made the ambience feel very private and romantic. Ruth's Chris steakhouse staff really went out of their way to make our anniversary magical! We will definitely be back to celebrate more special occasions here. Thank you!

Everything was to perfection! From the service, to the food. The ambiance is always nice there. We had the cowboy ribeye which is shareable, along with with asparagus, garlic mash and mushrooms.

We were celebrating my husbands mothers heavenly birthday and she ended our night with a special treat which made it even more special.

We attended a group event in a private room. The menu choices were good and we ordered a rib eye steak and the veggie broccoli steak. We shared sides which consisted of a cheesy veggie dip, mash potatoes, spinach dip, and warm fresh bread. My steak was big and came out exactly as expected and the sides were really good, not the best but really good.

Well, this is my first review in the new Yelp "box". Let's see if they got the spell and grammer check fixed. I'm all thumbs when it comes to texting on my phone. And why does it tell me I'm not connected to the internet every time? Am I the only one? Lol Moving along, sorry... Ah yes! Alberto's! That was the name of our waiter and he did an exceptional job with one exception! The exception? He brought us some old fashioneds that looked like they were made at the Olive Garden bar, not one at a Prime Steakhouse: no boss block of ice, no luxardo cherry and watered down. No bueno. Alberto got us back on track, and a few old fashioneds later, dinner was amazing. The atmosphere was lively with several celebrations and dinner parties. We got an awesome booth facing out to the dining room and Colorado Boulevard. It was the best table in the house. My compliments to the host for coming through with my request. For the meal, we startes with an okay wedge salad. The saving grace of this meal and dinner, besides Alberto, was the porterhouse for 2 cooked to perfection- tender, beefy and melt in your mouth bliss- and the sides. The always delicious sweet potato casserole cruated with candied pecans, wowzers! Lobstah mac n cheese that actually has lobstah in it (sorry Fleming's... step your game up)! Delicious, Delicious, Delicious. Would have been a 5 Star meal had the old fashioneds from the bar looked like old fashioneds from the start, and add some more bacon to the wedge, please. This is a steakhouse, after all.

The cowboy ribeye was the best steak I have had in quite a while! The meat was very fragrant, tender, juicy and had just the right amount of fattiness. The tomahawk ribeye was a bit more lean, but still had a very rich flavour. We ordered medium rare and the steaks came perfectly cooked. The hot plates also helped the steak to stay warm during the entire dinner. However, the side of mushrooms was too salty for our liking. The restaurant was clean, spacious and elegantly decorated. Service was excellent.

Need a classy steak house for high end, fine dining? Ruth's Chris should be at the top of everybody's LA list. I am not a steak guy but I can't resist their buttery cut along with all the sides. It is THE birthday/anniversary spot. But, have you considered having an event there? Robbie B is here to say don't sleep on the idea. I hosted my office holiday party (for 50) at the Pasadena location and it was a hit! And, an affordable hit at that. Parking is hopeless, but there's a office lot up the street (corner of Euclid and Union) that costs $5 -- totally worth it as the parking ticket meter vendor in Pasadena is ruthless. They must get paid per ticket written. Just the worst! For events, the Pasadena location has two totally private rooms -- Ruth's Room (for about 10-25 or so) and the West Wing room (for about 50 or so). We had the West Wing for lunch and they give you three hours. The set up was amazing -- totally decorated with extra tables set up for gifts and our White Elephant exchange nonsense. I had five tables of eight plus some fancy banquettes. Each guest gets a menu (which they print for you with your own text at the top) and we had some special with a freebie champagne toast. There were three entree choices (one steak, one fish, one vegetarian) with sides (I chose them in advance) served family style. Plus cheesecake for dessert. Prices change, so check their web site, but I could not have done it cheaper. And, it's so private and fancy. We felt like we had the restaurant to ourselves. Service is over the top. Somehow they served 50 people all at once. Ten stars.

Valet parking helped for my elderly mom. Walked in and they were ready for us as we had reservations and they were very nice and seated us immediately. The waiter came right away and got our drink orders. Mom and I got virgin chi chis, and our neighbors all got sodas or water. We then ordered right away and most of us got their three part meal as its a good deal. Filet steak with mashed potatoes and a vegetable or in my case I got their delicious French onion soup with cheese on top. So good!!! The steaks were delicious and tender and juicy. Some of our party got lobster and I think shrimp. (SEE MY PHOTOS). We were treated to free cake as one of us had a birthday. Very good cake. And I also ordered creme brulee. Delicious !!! When we were done we left and walked right out to our car and it was all and all, a great meal. The interior was very posh and they had a lot of wine to choose from and fancy inside. Classy place for sure.

I want to give a huge shoutout to our waitress, Jessica, at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Pasadena. From start to finish, she provided stellar service and made sure we had a truly memorable dining experience. Jessica was very attentive, friendly, and professional. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout the evening. Also, to Scott, the former manager who is no longer at the Pasadena location -- you are truly missed.

This was my first visit here at this location. The service was perfection, as expected, and the food was, too! I'm thankful for the staff that made my boyfriend's birthday extra special with the menu, confetti, it was truly wonderful.

I love Ruth's Chris. My aunt took me and my mom out for an early Mother's Day dinner. We dined in the bar area for happy hour and had a great time. I have not been to this location for happy hour since COVID. The ambiance, food, and service were superb. The food was tasty as usual and filled with love. I Highly recommend this location for happy hour and dinner. Note: Their pomegranate and lemon martinis are delicious and filled with a nice amount of alcohol

I recently returned back to Ruth's Chris for a Mother's Day dinner celebration and it was just as good if not better than what I remembered! The service is wonderful and attentive. The food was delicious. The lobster mac and cheese is some of the best I've had from a steakhouse and they serve you a lot. The filet steak was tender and very flavorful. My husband tried the truffle crust this time on his ribeye and it added a whole other yummy dimension. The only new thing I tried and did not care for was the creamed spinach. Otherwise, everything was amazing. The ambiance is much quieter than other steakhouses. I love the ease of valet parking right in front of the restaurant but there is a parking garage across the street as well.

Went to celebrate Mom's birthday. I had a Tomahawk and ate off that thing for over a week; had the best waiter; Big Wally, LOL. He was sooo nice & professional. We were in the private room & he ( even though his ethnicity differs) he was our brother from another mother. Honestly, we adopted him b cuz he would bring our food & not leave. He'd stand, talk & laugh w/us as if he was part of the fam. LOL. I will be requesting him from now on b cuz our old waitress left and took a position at Chop House or summn' like that up the street.

Let's talk about a steakhouse experience done RIGHT. I was out in Pasadena and made a last-minute reservation at Ruth's Chris. It had been years since my last visit, and honestly, I have no idea why I ever stopped coming. First things first--our waiter understood the mission. I ordered a dirty martini and made it very clear: I wanted it stinkin' dirty. And let me tell you, that martini was so perfectly filthy it should've come with a PG-13 warning. A+ execution. Then came the food. That signature sizzle of a steak arriving on a heated plate, swimming in butter? Music to my ears. My filet was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and the only thing I regret was the asparagus was a bit tough. The service? Top-notch. The atmosphere? Classic and cozy. The butter? Flowing freely like a beautiful, golden river of happiness. Moral of the story: I won't be waiting years to come back

Overall good experience! Went here for happy hour, just a few drinks and some food. Food was good and drinks were great! We got the lychee martini and pomegranate martini! Loved both. Service was very good and the vibe was nice. It wasnt busy which was nice. For food, we got the meatballs, crab cake, burger, onion rings and chicken sandwich. The burger was a little dry but still good. The onion rings looked like they'd be nice and crunchy, but it was more soggy. I did like this place tho, so I'd probably return.

Made reservations for four with friends. 1700 hours. We were sat down at a very nice table overlooking Colorado Blvd. Patrick was our waiter. He was excellent, professional and jovial with us. We ordered drinks and main courses. Drinks were superb. My wife and I ordered sea bass, omg, it melted in our mouths. My friends orders steak and salmon with shrimp, sides were garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus, Brussels sprouts and sweet potato casserole. Everything was A-1. Definitely will be back. Thank you to Patrick and rest of staff for making this a very enjoyable evening. Jeff Downey
