Ruth's Chris Steak House

This was our first time ever going to a Ruth's Chris, and we definitely weren't disappointed. The service was top notch. There was always someone checking in on us, we were celebrating our anniversary and every staff member wished us a happy anniversary, and the manager came over especially to congratulate us. This was one of the better steaks I've ever had. And the sides were delicious. We will definitely come back. The atmosphere is a beautiful old school dining room, the upholstery feels a little dated, but otherwise it was a really great place to celebrate.

We had a fantastic experience at Ruth’s Chris. Started with the shrimp cocktail and a well-crafted mocktail for Dry January. I ordered the lamb chops cooked medium with garlic mashed potatoes — absolutely perfect. My wife had the scallops with risotto, which were cooked beautifully. Even better, our kids shared a kids’ meal that was prepared perfectly for them, which we really appreciated. Dessert was the molten chocolate lava cake, and it was rich enough to comfortably share between four people. Huge shoutout to our server, Sean, who provided outstanding service from start to finish. Attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel special. We’ll definitely be back.

First visit to this brand and it did not disappoint. Extremely high service level, didn't have to ask for anything. This fine dining experience was 5 stars on every level. The Ahi Tuna appetizer was next level awesome. The main course of steak and lobster again was next level awesome with the Augratin Potatoes being the best i have ever had. My wife had the same and hers was just a good a mine. We went here for our one week anniversary before returning to work and they made us a special on the house dessert. The atmosphere was perfect. Having the manager come introduce himself and check on us was extremely professional as was every staff member we encountered. I feel like we received a better then we payed for experience. I cannot wait to go back.

The Crab cakes were Phenomenal! Mark greeted my table to check on my dining experience. Marco was my server and very kind and punctual. The vallet attendant Namiti was very kind and took a few pictures for me! Overall wonderful experience and atmosphere. Also the music was decent with an eclectic variety! The hosts were kind, professional and sincere. Excellent service!!!

This Ruth's Chris location is challenging. We arrived on a rainy day and the entire parking lot was coned off for valet parking which isn't needed at 4:00 in the afternoon. The hostess kept us waiting since the restaurant didn't open on time. Food was okay. Lobster was way overcooked, everything else was acceptable. This restaurant is dark and outdated. Service was wonderful - we lucked out with a friendly server. Overall, not my favorite for the price.

“I had a wonderful experience at this location. My server, Carna, was outstanding—she truly made my visit special and elevated the entire dinner. The Ruth’s Classic is a fantastic choice, offering a delicious three‑course meal at a great value. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!” ✨

The food and service were great! Our waitress was friendly and gave amazing recommendations. My personal favorites were the calamari, lobster mac and cheese, sweet potato casserole, and creme brulee. My husband enjoyed all of the above but hus steak was a high contender as well.

Wonderful Ceremony & Exceptional Dining Experience I was invited to the Lantower Apartments ceremony as part of the team from Tutoga Bay Apartments in Waterford, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The event was hosted at Ruth’s Chris Steak House, and the restaurant was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was elegant and welcoming, the staff were professional and attentive, and everything was organized beautifully. The food was exceptional—the steak was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and served sizzling hot. The sides and appetizers were fresh and delicious, and the service was top-quality the entire time. Overall, the ceremony and the restaurant both exceeded my expectations. It was truly an honor to attend, and I left with a wonderful impression of both Lantower and Ruth’s Chris Steak House. A memorable and highly enjoyable experience

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Tampa has an upscale, romantic atmosphere and excellent service, making it a good choice for special occasions or business dinners! The primary claim to fame for Ruth's Chris is its method for preparing and serving its steaks! Steaks are broiled at 1,800° and brought to the table on ceramic plates heated to 500°, finished with butter and freshly chopped parsley, which keeps the steak hot and sizzling throughout the meal. The restaurant serves only the finest USDA Prime beef available, which is custom-aged and highly marbled for exceptional flavor and tenderness. The restaurant's decor prominently features rich dark woods, which contribute to a warm and inviting atmosphere. The lighting is dim and there are booths available for comfy seating.

If you're craving an upscale spot for a steak and near Westshore area of Tampa, definitely try Ruth's Chris Steak House!

1-Star Review: Deeply Disappointed by the Service at Ruth's Chris (1700 N Westshore) My party and I had an extremely disappointing experience at the Ruth's Chris Steak House located at 1700 N Westshore last night. What was meant to be a special evening turned into a frustrating and uncomfortable ordeal marked by poor communication, long waits, and an overall lack of care or professionalism. Our original reservation was for 6:15 PM, but the restaurant called and pushed our time back by two hours at the last minute. I accepted the change because it was short notice and finding another reservation would have been difficult. We arrived at 8:10 PM and were thankfully seated right away. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. After being seated, the host assured us that someone would be with us shortly, but "shortly" turned into a full hour. We were talking among ourselves and didn't initially realize how much time had passed. Once we did, one member of our group tried to get the attention of a staff member, but no one acknowledged us. Seventeen more minutes went by before a server finally approached our table. What shocked us most was the complete lack of apology or explanation. The server simply proceeded to take our order as if nothing was wrong. After that, we waited another hour for our food to arrive. At this point, we had been in the restaurant over two hours with nothing but water. To make matters worse, the restaurant closed while we were still inside. While I appreciate that we weren't rushed out, no one communicated anything to us. There was an unspoken sense that we were being ignored or overlooked altogether. As a group of four young women, it genuinely felt like we were being judged or dismissed from the moment we sat down. Overall, this was an incredibly disheartening experience. For a restaurant with Ruth's Chris's reputation, and price point, the lack of service, communication, and basic hospitality was unacceptable. I truly hope the management takes steps to address these issues so that future guests aren't made to feel as undervalued as we were.

I went to Ruth Chris for an event and had their shrimp and steak with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The shrimp was a little bland, but the steak was pretty good along with the sides. Service was excellent and it was very clean inside. I will go back again at some point.

Very beautiful atmosphere, detailed wood work, modern luxurious booths, and very elegant overall. Julian our server was attentive, friendly, and helpful...Milton his helper was also so nice! And last but definitely not least, the food was wonderful. Wedge salad was ice cold and flavorful. Steaks literally sizzling on the plates as they came out, perfectly cooked and just mouth watering DELICIOUS. Highly recommend! PS the bread pudding is YUMMY!

Our Waiter Sean and his colleagues made our visit today an exceptional experience. The Porterhouse for 2 is a must.

I visited this Ruth Chris for my birthday dinner. I ve been to many Ruth Chris locations this food was similar which I like. It was good my steak was cooked perfectly. The sung happy birthday to me and even decorated my table. We did make reservations a couple of days ahead so they could accommodate us. I heard the location gets busy so I didn't want to chance not getting a table. Our cocktails were strong but still tasted good.

First time here and I will be back. I sat in the bar area and was greeted promptly. I ordered stuffed chicken, Mac n cheese and sweet potato casserole. The mac n cheese was creamy and delicious. The sweet potato casserole was so good, but SWEET. I enjoyed it, but if you don't like it really sweet, then order another side. The stuffed chicken was good but next time I will order a steak.

DAD AND ELDEST KID BIRTHDAY FANCY NIGHT OUT ADVENTURE!!! Just to headline this. While we were at this dinner we discussed it. We have now started putting aside 20$ a month each and picking an upscale place to try once we have enough funding to support the place we have chosen to go. We do our research, menu research that is, lol. Look for those additional reviews every 3-6 months!!! For this Birthday Adventure it was my Eldest Kids treat!!! They took me out and paid the bill for my BIRTHDAY!!! So proud they could do this for me!!! Because it was my BIRTHDAY we chose a place I have been wanting to go for a very long time. We chose Ruth's Chris Steak House!!! We knew what we were getting and how much it would cost with an upscale tip of course!!! This is what actually sparked our FUFA = Fund Upscale Food Adventures idea mentioned at the start of this review!!! The Service:, There were 3 waiters that served us a drink waiter, a head waiter and an assistant waiter. The drink waiter was very nice and professional she was a delight and answered all our questions and kept our drinks filled. They even leave the bottle of water at the table on ice, but return and remove the water to refill your glasses if you do not or before you were going to. She was on point!!! The Head waiter only stopped at our table twice and was very short. He was honestly concerned with an 8 top rather than our 2 top. The assistant waiter is who shined for us. He was very attentive, very professional. Brought birthday confetti for our table and spread it around the table for decoration. Nice touch!!! I guess that's what he's there for l. To pick up any slack. Well he did expertly!!! All in all the service was impeccable!!! The decor was what you would hope for at an upscale establishment. It was eye appealing!!! Other than a little loudness from the bar patrons. It was an enjoyable experience. We were in a side room, but the doors were facing the bar so the sound carried in. It made it a little challenging to have a nice conversation while we ate. The wall paper was so nice and had a flow that made us happy!!! For the meal!!! We started with some Pellegrino water and they also brought us a very nice bread and butter. The bread was very yummy and soft. We started with 2 apps. The Lobster Bisque and the Fried Calamari. Both apps were very very good!!! We would definitely order them again. We ordered the Porterhouse for 2 as our main dish. We requested medium temp and when it came out it was a nice big cut of meat. They even cut it into pieces at the table for you on a cutting board. Then they place 500 degree plates in front of you so you can keep your steak warm as you eat. The waiter starts by asking you what side you would like and cuts a slice off to show you how to move the steak to warm it/cook it more. Then you take over. They will even bring you a second plate if you request one as I did. The 4 star, instead of 5 is because the steak was definitely Medium Rare. I cooked steak many times in my 15 years working in a kitchen. I know steak temps. This was way too on the rare side for a requested medium. Hence the reason for the second hot plate and the 4 !!! The filet side was cooked a bit better than the strip side. We were able to cook both sides up a bit more before eating it with the hot plate. My daughter only had some of the filet side and I ate most of the strip. I also finished what she couldn't cook enough for her to eat from the filet side. Great for me, but wish she could've had more. The steak was still very flavorful and we enjoyed it so much!!! The closer!!! For our closer we chose the Crème Brûlée!!! It was such a wonderful end to our meal. Next time we get two!!! AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

3 courses for $55, need I say more! The experience and food overall was worth this price. When you walk in it's a dimly lighted and elegant, the dining room was spacious and well maintained. As an appetizer I started with the Caesar salad- this was one of the next Caesar salads I have had in awhile, particularly because of the in house dressing they toss the salad in (10/10). For an entree I got the 6 oz petit filet with shrimp cooked medium- unfortunately my steak did come out overcooked and my friend's came out undercooked. We believe our plates may have gotten mixed up and I ended up taking her steak, not the most appropriate or ideal situation but I didn't minds the shrimp was delicious and the steak was seasoned well (8/10). Our server was very attentive about the matter and we appreciated him switch out my friends steak. For dessert it was a cheesecake with fresh berries, it was ok I felt the crust of the cheesecake could have been better and kept at a colder temperature, the fresh berries and raspberry sauce was delicious (6/10). For drinks: I had the lemon drop martini (8/10) and a French 75 (9/10). Overall solid experience and worth trying the 3 course special.

The service was stellar, James was attentive but not intrusive... he worked really hard to give us a memorable exclusive! We ordered a lot of food, but took no photos, unfortunately... but here goes! We ordered crab cakes and a shrimp cocktail for appetizers... crab cakes were very, very good! Big lumps of crab, very flavorful with not very much bread crumb filling- nice crunch on the outside. The shrimp cocktail was pretty typical of expectation, large shrimp on ice with cocktail sauce... not especially noteworthy The stuffed chicken breast was spectacular, the seasoning was the best I've tasted... not your average stuffed chicken breast! A must try for chicken lovers The steaks were cooked perfectly to order, filet mignon came medium rare and very tender, the strip was cooked to perfection at medium and had a beautiful char... they didn't have a standout seasoning profile.. you tasted steak! The baked potatoes are enormous and served with a display of toppings if requested... enough for a meal in itself! Some at our table ordered the Ruth's Classic prix fixe menu which came with sides and seafood... The lobster tail was a nice size, but came a little over cooked. It was served with real drawn butter. Our shrimp was cooked a little too much as well and wasn't seasoned in a stand out way... there were 3 shrimp atop the filets. We ordered French onion soup which was tasty, came with a generous amount of cheese broiled on top and was enjoyed. The Caesar salads were very large (definitely enough to share) and were as expected, there was a generous amount of shaved parmesan cheese on top which was notable and delicious! We also ordered garlic mashed potatoes which were good, but not wow- fantastic. The lobster mac and cheese was a dish to share with the table. It had nice cavatappi pasta, that was cooked al dente. The cheese sauce was flavorful but very runny and sat on the bottom, it had to be restirred each time a serving was wanted. It was not baked mac and cheese. The lobster was placed on top of the pasta and cheese, there were some bread crumbs... it was ok, but for the prices here, it should be fantastic, so I don't recommend it... The desserts we ordered were Creme Brulee, which was the best a table-mate says they've had, a very rich chocolate flourless cake served with vanilla bean ice cream that was decadent and cheesecake with fresh berries that was creamy and light... fresh whipped cream was served upon request and generously provided... This is definitely a high price restaurant and everything should be perfect, so that's why I didn't give 5 stars... I think it's a 3.5 star restaurant for the food and 4.5 for the service

Went to Ruth Chris for 80 th Birthday. Overall the service and food was good. Everything except for a few items is a-la-carte. It is relatively expensive. My complaint is that they charged $78 for 3 9 oz. Benton Lane pinot wine pours. The menus states they are $17 each. Which is $51. Looks like a $27 over charge on our bill. Hard to see when you are there at close out. So be careful on the wine bill. In some cases it may be better to charge by the bottle. Seems like we could have gotten a full bottle for the $79 charge. Nice place and fairly good food. It is busy on the weekends. A once in a long time event.

Ruth Chris Tampa you were such a disappointment. I've had good experiences out of town but the Tampa location was just not good. The service was terrible. We were offered dessert before we ordered our dinner. The steak was good but the rest of the sides were cold. Our table was a mess because none of the plates or cocktail glasses were cleared. We even had to request steak knives to cut our food. There are so many great steakhouse options in Tampa please do not waste your money here.

I have been to Ruth's Chris twice. The first time was 13+ years ago, for lunch. I had a Caesar salad with chicken and I remember thinking that it was the best Caesar salad I'd ever had. Just recently came back to meet someone for drinks. I had (2) dirty martini and the petite fillet. Both were excellent. The steak was one the best steaks I've ever had. Dimitri at the bar is very attentive and makes an excellent martini. The bar area is very warm and comfortable. It definitely won't take me another 13+ years to get back in here. I've been dreaming about that steak!

I went here for a family Thanksgiving Day dinner and it was great! The service is always top notch and the ambiance was nice! The food is always good!

Ruth Chris is one of my top three steakhouses IMO. It's been a minute since I've gone but let me tell you it did not disappoint! We started with their sizzling crab cakes. Absolute perfection. For my entree, i got the filet which was outstanding. Cooked exactly how I wanted it... medium. The sides: 1. Creamed spinach is my absolute favorite. Love it! 2. Sweet potato casserole is pure deliciousness. 3. Lobster Mac & Cheese is a must. Cheesy goodness. Overall RC has never lost its touch over the years. Always a good choice. A++

Words can't say it all. Ambiance, Service and Food over the top. If you're in Tampa don't miss dinner here.

I went here for a work dinner, and I feel like it was the perfect place for the occasion. We were able to make a reservation easily for 4 people. The ambiance was nice and upscale, but also quiet enough to have conversations without having to strain your voice. I really liked how they had a bundle option where you could get several courses all together. I feel like that is sometimes not a given at steakhouses. I got some white wine and the filet with shrimp on top. It was delicious. I've heard they have a good happy hour as well, but we were not able to check it out. Maybe next time! Our waitress was kind and accurate. I know this is a chain so it doesn't always get the most respect, but I would definitely check it out. Next up, I want to go to the one in St. Pete.

I've dined here several times and the experience is consistently exceptional. The service is attentive, the food is always top tier, and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. You truly get what you pay for and I highly recommend it.

Not my favorite steak house. We arrived a wee bit early, dressed nicely (our server even commented on it). We were escorted to a brightly lit room off the bar, presumably where the misfits are supposed to be segregated from the hoi polloi. For example, a couple in jeans with a screaming infant and a family of five in shorts after a soccer game were in our room. I did see other parts of the restaurant had a totally different vibe, but I wasn't given that experience so here we are. For a starter we had the Barbeque shrimp and it was very good. For entree we shared the ribeye, mushrooms and creamed spinach. The ribeye was good, nothing to write home about. The mushrooms were very good and the spinach was not pleasant at all. I had heard the cheesecake was very tasty, but I hated it. It was all crust, and the filling was bland. So overall, the food rates a 'fine'. Ambiance was bad. I'm sure if we had been seated in the grown ups area it would have been a much better experience.

Worst experience at a Ruth's Chris ever and I've been to many. The service was good up until a point , then we were forgotten about. Totally ruined our birthday dinner. The so called manager on duty and the waitress Linda were rude and unprofessional, I was shocked since Ruth's Chris is usually on top of their game. This one is not! I will never go back. The bar overcharged, then we were told drinks weren't discounted at happy hour"duh" . False advertising. This place "Sucks " I wouldn't recommend to anyone . It was a shock when I ordered an $8.00 drink and it costs us $19.00. Stay Away ! I've never in 30+ years had such a bad experience at Ruth's Chris...

My visit to Ruth's Chris Steak House was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment I walked in, I could tell the place was clean, well-kept, and really cared for. The floors were spotless, the tables were set just right, and the lighting gave it a fancy but comfortable feel. It didn't feel stuffy or too quiet either. Even though it's a fine dining place, it had a nice energy to it. Everything around me looked five star, from the silverware to the way they folded the napkins. This is one of those spots where you can sit down and feel like you're being taken care of right away. I ordered two burgers, french fries, the mac and cheese, the bread they bring out before your meal, and cheesecake for dessert. Every single thing I tried was really good. The burgers were juicy and cooked just the way I asked. They didn't taste like frozen patties either. They tasted like they were made fresh and with care. The french fries were crispy on the outside but still soft inside, just how I like them. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, not too salty, and the cheese sauce had the perfect thickness to it. Even the bread was soft and warm with a buttery crust. When it came time for dessert, the cheesecake was just right. It had a thick texture and a smooth flavor that wasn't too sweet or too heavy. The crust was buttery and firm, not dry or crumbly. It was a great way to end the meal. We were seated near the bar, which gave us a nice view of the room and the staff working. Even though it was a busy night, the service was excellent. We didn't wait long for anything, and the staff checked in just enough to make sure we had everything we needed. The servers were polite and quick but didn't rush us at all. This is a place I'd come back to for sure. Whether it's for a special occasion or just a nice night out, Ruth's Chris makes you feel welcome and well-fed. You don't feel like you're just another customer. You feel like they want you there. Everything was clean, the service was smooth, and the food hit every time. I had no complaints and left full and happy. It's a real five star experience from start to finish.

Food excellent, service impeccable and knowledgeable, and the ambiance perfect. Great for a date or any special occasion.

We've been going to Ruth Chris for years. It's been a family favorite. Unfortunately, the food and service has been hit or miss for the past few years. When your favorite restaurant has a few off times with service or food quality, it's fine to give them other chances.. However, after tonight, we are finished. Yes it was busy but not as busy as usual. My server ignored us. Water boy ignored us. Food was lukewarm, spinach burned, waited for 45 min for bread. Soup and salad came out an hour before our terrible dried out cold food. Our waiter could never be found. I had to recruit other servers just for water. Huge delay between dessert and coffee. Server just walked by us. People who came after us were leaving with their bags before our food was served. I blame this all on our server " Chris". Food isn't dried out and cold when it's served promptly. We will not be returning unfortunately. This was Thanksgiving dinner for us.

This was my first time trying Ruth's Chris, and unfortunately, it will be my last. The experience was disappointing from the very beginning. We waited over 10 minutes before our server even came to greet us and take our drink order. When we asked about the crab cakes, we were told they were mostly made of lump crab meat -- this was completely wrong. Our steaks came out burned on the sides yet undercooked inside. When we sent them back, we completely lost our appetite and just wanted to leave. What made things worse was that no manager ever came by to acknowledge the situation or apologize. For a restaurant with Ruth's Chris' reputation and prices, this level of service and food quality is unacceptable. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

The worst Thanksgiving dinner ever. Ran out of mashed potatos, macaroni and cheese , and best of all dressing. An upscale restaurant that advertises a great Thanksgiving dinner, and they serve turkey with cold gravy and no dressing. It gets better. They tried to throw 4 bread cubes in a small bowl with a tablespoon of cold gravy to give us dressing. Will never go again.

This was a special occasion for my son's birthday. They had birthday confetti on the table when we were seated, nice touch. We had drinks at the bar before dinner. Pricey. Overall the food was well prepared but we did wait a very long time for salads to come out. Waiter said system went down ? Waiter also kind of abandoned us and my daughter waited a long time for her drink order at the table. Four people plus bar tab, $800 with tip. I don't think it was worth it.

Outstanding services. We always eat at the bar. Just the 2 of us. Patrick behind the bar was spot on. All the food was perfectly prepared and arrived at the appropriate time. Can hardly wait to return next month.

Ruth Chris provided great glad and great service. The live piano music set a lovely intimate tone. During a celebration, my husband fell ill and had to leave early. Nicholas (our waiter) quickly packed us up and even brought out a cup of ginger ale to help. The calamari was the best I have ever tasted. Perfectly fried and flavored, I would go back just to order more! I also had the panko crusted sea bass, it was soft, flaky and delicious. My mother in law raved over the blackberry margarita and my husband said the steak was one of the best he ever had when he ate it the next day! I also had the panko

We started with drinks which were delicious. I had the filet and it was cooked perfectly and medium rare as requested. The sides were pretty average. The brussel sprouts were the table favorite. The garlic mashed were tasty and rich as they should be. The au gratin potatoes were just okay. I likely wouldn't order them again but wanted to give them a try. The garlic mashed are better in my opinion. The Mac and cheese was rich and tasty. It typically comes with lobster which I'm sure would have been tasty, however we had a shellfish allergy at the table which the restaurant was more than willing to accommodate. The others at the table ordered filet and Chilean sea bass which was very very tasty. The server was friendly and attentive. My only recommendation would be not to dim the lights as much as they had. Maybe it was an off night but we're all women in our early/mid 30's and had to pull out our cell phones to utilize the flashlight feature to read the menu. It gave us a good chuckle. This was a great experience to end our girls trip in Tampa.

Our server while dining was Jan who took care of all the details and timed our courses perfectly . Excellent experience. Ruth's Chris never disappoints !

Came here before the Bucs playoff game on Monday night. Pretty busy. Servers were attentive and good. The food overall was great and quite delicious. We order the porterhouse with a side of Cesar salad and au gratin potatoes. Steak was perfect; bread was awesome; salad well done, au gratin potatoes however were undercooked and they did grab a replacement dish. Overall good experience!

Three stars because of the comparison to this one versus the new one in Lakewood Ranch, Florida. I typically I'm not a big fan of Ruth's Chris steakhouse because I think they're overcharged their steaks too much and they're 5,000,000° oven this time the steak was cooked well but it was tough for a ribeye. It was unusually tough the baked potato was half cooked, so it was not tender at all. Service was OK, but they were not on their game at all. I doubt that I would return to this Ruth Chris steakhouse but I absolutely look forward to a return visit to the Lakewood Ranch Ruth's Chris steakhouse

My Daughter brought me here for my birthday dinner and I truly have to say it was one of the best meals I've had recently. We had reservations and once we arrived we were seated with no wait. The restaurant was packed and the ambiance was inviting. I like that every party was spaced out throughout the restaurant to avoid crowding and keeping the noise level to a minimum. We started with drinks, I had a Prosecco and my daughter had the pomegranate martini both were delicious. For dinner I had the New York strip and my daughter had Ruth classic which was shrimp and steak. My son in law had the cowboy steak and we shared garlic mash, Brussel sprouts and lobster mac & cheese. Every single thing was delicious. The Brussel sprouts were probably the only thing I didn't care for, would've preferred if they were crispier. Our waiter was great and very attentive. All his recommendations were delicious.

Made a reservation but ended up seated at a table in the bar area. Lesson learned, request a reservation in the dining area. Service was outstanding but the food itself didn't live up to the reputation. The bill with tip for two was $284.

We were a party of 7 that includes one todler. It was my daughters UT graduation for her PA degree. Two of party have never been here. They were boasting and will definetly eperience the dinning again. The place is top notch. We ordered two of the 20oz bison - OMG! can't explain the flavor to do it justice. It melted in your mouth like no other meat we have experienced. Ruth's Chris tops every place we have had any steak, hands down. We also had two portter house steaks and those were both beyond words. The sides also amazing. We have not been here for many years and wanted to get the experience before they move to the new location just up the street. We will most likely go one more time before the change. Can not say enough about the staff. Everyone so pleasent and knowledgable on the menue. The place is always so clean and fresh. There is not a bad seat in the house and nicely spaces so you don't feel like your eating with the table next to you. I can't imagine the atmosphere, the food and feel of the new place would be any less. Thank you to the staff and Ruth's Chris for making our experience memorable. AMM

It's been 2 years since I came back to this Ruth Chris Steakhouse on Westshore blvd., and the food was spot on! Service was A+ and the ambiance was perfect!

Great Happy Hour food & drink prices. Select food dishes, drinks, beers and wines have unbeatable prices for great quality. The crab cake appetizer was fully of crab and had little or no filler. I Will definitely order this again. The calamari appetizer was balanced perfectly with its sauce, not at all greasy. We ordered the porterhouse and filet steaks. Both were cooked to perfection! The sweet potato casserole was superior. The only drawback is the lighting on the liquor shelves looks like someone's dimly lit basement bar instead of an upscale restaurant's bar which negatively impacts the ambiance.

First time visitor to this restaurant chain. We dined in the bar, but ordered from the dinner menu. Service was A+++. Give Demetri a raise and extra day off a week! He took excellent care of my party. Let's start at the end. The creme brûlée was some of the best I've ever had. The vanilla flavor, the texture, cooked to perfection. Simply delicious! I ordered the shrimp and steak prix fix. My well done steak was the juiciest well done steak I've ever had. Not dry. Tender as all get out. Flavorful. I paired my entree with sautéed spinach (a little too much butter for me and could have used more seasoning) and a ceasar salad (next time I'll get dressing on the side). The rest of my party had steak and lobster with mashed potatoes (creamy and buttery) and bread pudding. We arrived around 5pm on Thursday. The dinner crowd was rolling in. Noise level was a little loud. At some point a pianist started playing tunes which added to the noise level, but in a good way. I'd def return. No complaints from my party. Not one.

I never thought I would be rushed at a high dollar steakhouse. It seems to be a place to relax and dine not be hustled along. I'll go elsewhere from now on on. Food was good.

This Ruths Chris is one of my favorites. Throughout the years I've gone numerous times and have never complained about a meal.

The quality of food here is not the same as it used to be... or maybe My memory of it was better and it was never updated through the years. The menu has been the same for as long as I can remember but the sides are just not good. The mashed potatoes were bland and watered down, the creamed spinach was also watered down and lacked flavor, and the potatoes au gratin tasted like nothing but nutmeg. The steaks were good, but do not stand out above other local steakhouses. The shrimp were ridiculously over cooked - chewy and flavorless. The Caesar salad was just OK but the steakhouse salad was good. The calamari in the appetizer was too chewy, although the sauce on it was delicious. But- they put jarred red peppers on top! Not even fresh. That was offensive for an upscale restaurant. At least the women's bathroom toilet seat was fixed since last visit. But- the bathroom reeked of marijuana. This restaurant needs seriously updating. And is not worth the price you pay for the food. BUT- I will say the staff are the shining star. Everyone was super friendly and attentive and our server Carl was very funny and entertaining.

Everything. Good great family loves Mac and lobster .steak top notch. Service the best

This had become one of my mom's favorite restaurants. And I have to say I was pleasantly surprised for a chain. The veal osso bucco ravioli is a very nice and different appetizer. The calamari was very tender and flavorful. Service for us was very good! The ambience gives you the feel of the old style steakhouse with the dark colors and carpet and woods. The twin filet mignon topped with shrimp was very good! The spicy crab top fillet was very tasty, but I need more crab lol. Of course, it was a special on a holiday. All in all I would not have gone here on my own, but I must say, I was very pleased when we left. Very satisfied with the meal and the service, the staff hustles and really seems to care. We even made it back a second time, and I'm happy to say it was still consistently good.

3.6 out of 5 stars??! No chance LOL. Please try the Filet Mignon (medium), with Caesar salad, mashed potatoes, and sweet potato casserole and get back to me. I truly don't have the words at the moment because I believe this location is a 10/10. WAYYYY better than Berns in my personal opinion but I don't know maybe people have a different set of taste buds than me. I've been to each over 5 times and Ruth Chris blows other Steakhouses out of the water... Don't worry Ruth Chris's Tampa Bay, you'll always have a special place in my heart.

This is one of our main finer dining restaurants. The food is always delicious. The ambiance is casual yet not too casual. The service is on point. I'd recommend the dining area over the high top bar area for a more intimate setting.

Know what you want, ask for it and don't settle for less. When they are good, they are very very good!

We are visiting from Chicago and have never been to one of these restaurants but decided to check off our bucket list. Boy, this was simply amazing. I had the filet medium rare and husband had the ahi. Just perfectly prepared and outstanding. I never knew beef could be so decadent. And we've been to many Chicago steak houses. Diego was a most gracious server and made very good recommendations. Crème brûlée and cheese cakes were over the top. We will be back!

Made reservations and happened to be celebrating my husbands birthday last minute. Service was what I'd expected from a 3.6 rating on yelp. Food was cooked as we had asked for. Only reason for no 5 stars was we were told we were getting a dessert complimentary for our celebration only to pay for it after a $550 bill
