Yates was our waiter, and I have to say he was so good. When asked what he recommended, he told us he loves the Chicken dish. We ordered it and it was to die for, so delicious. This was our first experience at a Ruth Chris and we will definitely go again. Our drinks was equally delicious. Old Fashion and Lemon 🍋 drop. Yates had a great personality was very friendly and super nice. He is what you want in a waiter, when you have never been before, to be told what is favorite dishes to try is a great thing 😊.

The service provided by our server Lyneka was superb. I could give more than a 5 star review I would. She recommended the veal ravioli and it was the very best appetizer I’ve had at Ruth Chris in years. Ruth Chris is always a solid choice for dinner but the service provided this evening just elevated the entire experience.

I want there for my birthday with my best friend and the experience was amazing! From the food to the customer service 10/10 would recommend. Tamia was an amazing waitress she got me some cheesecake and sang happy birthday to me I was very grateful. I’m definitely going back because of her!! Weselin was also very amazing!

Venise was delightful, warm and very personable. She was attentive and gave us time to chat during each course and knew just hiw much to engage our party. Selwyn the General Manager also provided top notch service and extraordinary hospitality. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing! There are no words to describe how well they made us feel yesterday. First: the gral manager opened the door and let me check the menu hours in advance for a reservation I had. Server: China was beyond extraordinary. Thanks young lady for your words, patience, and service. Juan: he was very friendly. We knows Hispanics people don’t dine too much in these high end restaurants. We noticed we had the customer service in his veins. Food: oMG- food was delicious, good portions, whatever need to be cold was cold, and what need to be hot stayed hot! 🤭 Dessert: crème brûlée: maybe less brown sugar or better use white sugar since it is thinner so it can melt and hace the burnt coated layer . But flavor was incredible, just that. Everything was great, on point, a PRISTINE service. Gracias x todo! Nos hicieron sentir muy cómodas.

I extend my sincere gratitude for the wonderful birthday dinner. Even though I celebrated alone, it was truly delightful. My family in New York City recommended that I try this restaurant, and I did on my birthday. I was so happy once I stepped inside the greeter was so warm and friendly she welcomed me with a Happy Birthday greeting and escorted me to my tablee. The table setting, adorned with Happy Birthday decorations, was lovely. The waiter could benefit from some additional training. The petite filet was delicious and tender. The highlight of my evening was the exceptional helpfulness of the management staff. I was unaware that my chosen cake was included in the birthday reservation. The manager kindly inquired about my celebration and, noticing my concern about a concert, reassured me that I would arrive on time. Ruth's Chris Steak House provided a special birthday touch, as evidenced in the photographs; they truly made my dinner memorable.

DC branch of upscale Steakhouse chain; pricey; go with the fixed menu. Good wine list. Staff was excellent. Food was good, but expectations were that it would better. Pay attention to what the waiter says about the heat of the oven/grill. Our steaks were overdone from high heat.

A Sizzling Steakhouse Experience with Room for Improvement... We recently dined at Ruth's Chris and enjoyed some incredible steakhouse classics. Both the New York strip and filet mignon arrived sizzling on plates of butter--a mouthwatering sight and even better taste! The garlic mashed potatoes were pure creamy perfection, the ideal accompaniment to the rich, flavorful steaks. The service, however, left something to be desired. While our server was attentive and pleasant, I was surprised not to be greeted by the General Manager. At other Ruth's Chris locations, this personal touch has been consistent and appreciated, especially on a Saturday night when they weren't even particularly busy. The food alone would bring me back, but I hope the level of hospitality rises to match the high standards Ruth's Chris is known for. We frequently visit DC, but probably won't be coming back to this location. Too many other great restaurants in the city to try.

Stopped by for a New Year's Eve dinner with family, and the experience was...underwhelming. (I didn't come in with high hopes, but I was surprised that the restaurant missed on a few basics.) We did an 8 oz. petite filet with the blue cheese crust...it wasn't as red as our medium-rare temperature order would lead a person to believe, so the temperature was a little warm for our tastes. The sides were the shocking part: the asparagus was a total miss, and the brussel sprouts weren't a winner, either. (The potatoes au gratin were nice, though.) The prosecco we had was a little warm, which gave me the sense that Ruth's Chris wasn't ready for the sheer number of people who might order bubbly on the last night of the calendar year. The other cocktails were only OK. I thought my side Caesar was OK, but my wife complained that the small salad was overdressed...so, we agreed to disagree on that one, but she did want to make sure that was called out in this review. The crab cakes didn't have quite as much flavor as we had hoped, but it's been a while since I've had a good, filler-free crab cake anywhere, really. Service was so-so; our server tried her best to give us updates from time to time, but it took about an hour to get our entrees after the salads/apps had been served. (I found a way to survive thanks to the warm bread that was served to start the meal.) For $145/person (after tax and tip), I was hoping for a better evening, but it was not to be. Also, I was surprised to realize that our reservation put us into a small/private room, which was almost completely devoid of people and energy...would have much preferred to be seated around other people. Otherwise, wouldn't you rather just have dinner at home??

Food is always great at Ruth's Chris. It was brought to my attention I never check in or post meals from here, to be fair this is one of my go to spots so perhaps I've neglected Ruth's Chris! Good drinks. Good food. Like literally everything is Fire! Great servers! Classy and intimate dining area! We never spend less than $300-400 coming here! This is the place where you simply indulge and enjoy! My secret stomping ground!

230pm was the perfect time to visit! It was pretty empty and the energy of the staff was high! Becuase of the time of day we were seated in the bar area which was ok. Lunch menu is offered for the holiday season. For $40. you get an appetizer (choice of 2 salads or soup of the day-today was French onion), entree and a side. It was all perfectly portioned. Unfortunately, my medium filet was prepared well-done and the lobster Mac and cheese was SUPER WATERY! The star of the meal was the calamari!! GET IT! Our server China was great and she makes great drinks!! Bread pudding was average. Happy I didn't pay full price for half decent food!

The ambiance is quiet and upscale, although it was a quiet night. Service was good. We went for the prie fix menu - three courses for 61$. The steakhouse salad was delicious, albeit overdressed (ask for dressing on the side). I had the petite filet and shrimp - filet was cooked perfectly. You could also upgrade your side for 5$ (grilled asparagus and Brussel sprouts). Dessert was an amazing mini cheesecake.

This was my first time visiting a Ruth Chris Steak House. Knowing it was a rather expensive place to eat I figured it would be on the classier side, but the location in DC is anything but classy. There was probably only 10-15 tables in use when I went so it was pretty empty overall. Most folks were in regular clothing and some behaving as if they were eating at Denny's. A large group of young teens came in to sit at a round table behind me. They were loud and rambunctious and I found it odd they came in, took a bunch of photos sitting at the table then left without ordering anything. Our server (who was also training someone else) was not good. He was very awkward and never checked on us when the meal came out. Service was slow and by the end of the meal the server randomly asked if we felt neglected by him at all. I ordered a martini and it came out in a small 8oz round glass half full (total waste of $20). The server said they were out of martini glasses (the place was mostly empty so I couldn't understand how they were out of glasses). I ordered the lobster tail with steak, both were good but I've had much better steak elsewhere. I also had the lobster bisque which was fine, but didn't contain much lobster. My meal came with a dessert but the only option was cheesecake, which was awful. I took one bite and was done. I expected better given the crazy prices they charge. I don't think any of the food I was served was worth the cost.

Celebrated my cousin's birthday here recently. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Huge shout out to Will! He went above and beyond, and I want him to be recognized! Food was tasty and filling. Most of our party opted for the "Ruth's Classic," which included a salad, entree and dessert. Totally worth it! It was my first time at this location, but it certainly won't be my last. Before dinner I hung out at the bar. Excellent Service there! The drinks were great. Being that it was a Sunday, parking wasn't too difficult!

My second time here for HH and it's always a classy experience. Jas was my waiter this visit and she did not disappoint. I started with the spinach dip, yum. Accompanied with the yummy pomegranate martini. I had the spicy shrimp as well as the Steak sammich! All on the HH menu that runs from 4-6pm. I come here for a quick dinner and drinks before dinner and drinks. Honorable mention to her barmate Rome. Go Cowboys! The manager, Andrew, also stopped to check on me to ensure I was having a good time.

Went out of my comfort zone and drove to DC for a Friend's birthday celebration. I have lived in the DMV all my life but usually catch the subway or a ride with someone else in the afternoon or evening when going to DC. To me, parking is crazy if you can find it(you better read the signs carefully if you don't want your car towed), the drivers are crazy and the roads are crazy. But there are so many AMAZING spots in DC that I am going to push through and enjoy the city more this year(Woosah) All the garages in the area, and there are many, were closed on a Sunday. But the street parking was great and I found a spot right next to the restaurant. YEAH ME! Ruth's Chris is a HUGE, beautifully decorated restaurants. We met for Happy Hour on a Sunday. My Friend chose seating in the bar area. Surprisingly, it was not busy and the bar area was able to accommodate a group of 20+ People that trickled in at different times. The lights were dimmed and even thought though the restaurant was quite large, the seating area felt very intimate. I had eaten a late lunch so I ordered the spicy shrimp and a Pomegranate martini (to calm my nerves ). The Happy Hour menu was very reasonably priced. The service was a little bit slow but I will allow that maybe it was the size of the party and the People trickling in at different times. The waiters were very attentive and the atmosphere was very fun and lively with my Friends. The Spicy Shrimp and the Pomegranate Martini were so delicious that they were worth the wait. Alright Ruth's Chris! I like very much.

My co-workers and I decided to visit this location for lunch (Holiday Lunch). We all agreed that we will not be back and will definitely not recommend this location should they decide to continue to open for lunch! I'm fully aware that all locations aren't the same, but this location is at the bottom of the barrel!! One waitress for 2- 10-tops, 1- 4 top, and 1- 2-top is unacceptable. We waited about 20 minutes to place our order, our appetizers came out before our drinks which took about 45 mins. Our food came out not to long after (cold sides). I ordered a medium-well steak it was rare in the middle (so I ate around it, as I didn't have enough time for them to get it right) and had zero flavor, the potatoes were bland, the lobster mac was runny, the crab cakes were not good - no flavor! The only items that were good were our drinks and calamari. I addressed my concern regarding my steak at the end, which she said she would have someone come talk to me (she acknowledged that my steak was rare), no one ever came to the table. The hostess also was less than pleasant, that should have been indicative of the dinning experience we were about to have! Save your money, go elsewhere!

I had to post this; I eat at Ruth Chris all the time and the sides are usually big enough to share, but I order to go today and was definitely cheated on my au gratin potatoes!! Disappointed but they are good just not enough to share!!

Stopped by to meet a friend for drinks. Grabbed a seat at the bar. Daryle and Rome took great care of us. They had a special menu for Mother's Day. I ordered the specialty cocktail, Sippin on Sunshine. It was a so good! The drinks, service and ambiance were great. Will definitely be returning for dinner or their new lunch menu.

I came in town and of course I had to stop at Ruth's Chris! This is a restaurant group that is consistent across every state! The customer service here is top notch, of course the food is consistent- the usuals the sweet potato casserole, lamb chops, mashed potatoes and stuffed chicken are must. However, the shining star here is the service. Nicole the manager is amazing and an exemplary of what service and management should be on a 5 star level.

Et tu, Ruth'sChris? The first visit I ever made to this steakhouse was almost 20 years ago, back when I was living in San Francisco, and, ever since, I've always praised the establishment on the impressively high consistency with the quality of fare and professionalism of the staff. Since then, I've probably dined at Ruth's Chris over 40 times and on 3 different continents. Last night my fiancée and I visited Ruth Chris for, probably, the last time. Let me tell you why... We arrived and were seated in a nice booth. We ordered a bottle of wine and selected our courses which began with the Cesar Salad for me and the lobster bisque for my fiancée. We finished the first course, still no wine had arrived. The manager came over to our table and informed us that the wine we selected 20 minutes ago is no longer on the menu. No problem, we selected another bottle. Another 20 minutes passed, our steaks arrived, and still no wine. A different manager informs us that the 2nd bottle we ordered also does not exist and they need to update their wine list. No problem, we circumvent the entire wine list and order two glasses of the house red - we don't care what it is at this point as our steaks are now at the table and we only have water. We both requested our filets be prepared medium rare - mine was perfect, my fiancée's was somewhere between medium and well done - cooked completely through. We're frustrated and tried to get the manager to return. We're left alone for another 20 minutes. Finally, after an hour at our table, we simultaneously get 2 glasses of red wine and the first bottle we ordered - or a facsimile of the first bottle. Since my fiancée did not want to eat a $57 well-done steak, I also had refrained from eating and my steak cooled. The manager offered to replace our steaks, which was the correct thing to do, however, at this point we had already been at the restaurant an hour and had solely dined on soup and salad while drinking water. The prospect of giving the the staff a 5th opportunity to disappoint while we waited another 20 minutes was a dismal option. We allowed them to replace just my fiancée's steak but during that 20 minute span, we soured on the evening and told the manager we want to leave. Naturally, we were presented with the bill by the manager. They took off several items making the cost a mere $80-something dollars, before tip of course. It's incredibly painful to be put in a situation such as this, having come to expect such quality and service at Ruth's Chris. We stated the we didn't believe paying for our abysmal experience made any sense. The manager left briefly then returned, with a dismissive demeanor, stating to us, "You're free to go" as if we had wronged them and they were giving us "a pass". I am giving 2-stars for this review because I did enjoy my Cesar Salad and, very much like the dishes namesake, I was betrayed by a confidant, not Brutus in my case, but Ruth's Chris. A note: this experience took place on 2001 K St NW, D.C., DC on the night of Nov 11th

Sheesh! This is our first time at this location and service was horrendous!! We came here on 31 Dec 22 (New Year's Eve) We were seated in the private area, which was nice! The view was also nice (see pics) minus the view of the rats running from tree bush to tree bush On to what made this 2 stars.. Our waiter Joy was horrible! (Not in any particular order, listing everything that went wrong) 1) Wife ordered a blue berry martini when we first arrived- NEVER GOT! After 20 min and barely seeing our waiter we asked Joy where the drink was? It was like she forgot.. We told her not to worry about it 2) Wife asked for horseradish with her steak when she ordered her steak.. NEVER GOT! When we finally saw the waiter, we asked about the horseradish and we had to wait an additional 10-15 min after the steak came out to get it. By then her steak was luke warm. 3) Ordered the mushrooms as a side.. NEVER GOT utensils to serve the mushrooms.. Had to use the utensils that came with the sweet potatoes, due to the track record of our waiter (didn't feel like waiting) Used a paper napkin to wipe off sweet potato residue. 4) I ordered the chicken dish, with sides. My chicken was the only thing that came out, with no sides.. Which was odd! Then about 5-10 mins later, another chicken and everything that we ordered came out (like normal) to include my wife's food.. So they returned the other chicken.. 5) NEVER GOT a refill on my tea, only the initial tea when I first got there, and we were there for almost 1.5- 2 hrs. 6) Wife NEVER GOT her cheesecake, that came with the meal. Had to ask numerous times, and finally we just said we will take it to go. 7) Asked for napkins and NEVER GOT.. We had to ask the other waiter who's name was Xavier for napkins 8) We asked to have our food boxed up and check.. NEVER GOT that service! Again, we had to ask Xavier after waiting 20 min. I was so fed up with the service, when I saw Joy at the end of dinner (finally) I asked her to please get the manager. She proceeds to say, "Ask me anything" I look at her, puzzled... and said, no I want the young lady who was walking around to the different tables earlier (Manager) Joy then says, oh you would like the Manager? (Unfortunately I forgot her name) So then I ask Joy, when I asked for the Manager earlier, why did you tell me to "Ask you anything?" She tried to say that she didn't hear me. As you can see, this is what we had to deal with at dinner. Joy seemed to be spaced out "Allegedly" After talking to the Manager, and informing her of all the mishaps, it was discovered that Joy didn't have that many tables, just the little room, we were in.. So I'm not sure what her issue was.. Manager ended up taking off the sides off of the bill.. took it from 16x.xx to 111.xx (lol) Honestly, I'm still not happy!! I spent 111.xx for crappy service!! This is why I didn't take more pics of the food. Whole night was thrown off due to Joy! Hopefully this isn't a sign of what's in store for me in 2023 I don't think I will be back to the location!

My initial plan was to go to another establishment around the corner that just opened. There was a private party so I was forced to find another option. I looked down the street and saw Ruth Chris. I been in this beautiful new location when it first opened a couple of years ago. I had a great experience then, this one was even better! We were dressed a little casual so we sat in their bar area which was fine. Daryle and Ben took great care of us! Everything we ordered was so yummy! You know I love me a good cocktail. I started off with the blackberry sidecar. For an appetizer, for the table we got the goat cheese artichoke dip. Not a super big fan of goat cheese but this pairing felt like heaven. We ate it al! For dinner, I ordered their garlic crusted sea bass with shareable sizes of the au gratin potatoes, brussels, and sweet potato casserole. Everything was superb! I really enjoyed this combo. Everything was seasoned well, fresh, and had a lot of elements that made every dish special. To end this perfect evening, we had the bread pudding. That jack daniels whiskey sauce took this bread pudding to the next level. I am a bread pudding connoisseur. I will add this in my top 3. If you havent been, check out Ruth Chris. You won't be disappointed

We came on NYE for his birthday. We made a reservation in advance and our table was ready when we arrived. The food was great, per usual. I got the Ruth's classic and started with the Caesar salad which we shared, the filet & lobster tail, creamed spinach, sweet potato casserole and a dessert. He got the filet as well. We both got a drink: black berry sidecar for him and a lemon drop for me. Our server was also very attentive and friendly. The only downside is the fact that there was a group at the bar who was extremely loud and rude. The loudness wasn't the issue but once you add loudness and unnecessary profanity, it ruins the ambiance. I thought management would have stepped in and addressed the profanity as it made us uncomfortable and took away our ability to enjoy our food. All in all I recommend Ruth Chris as a whole.

This was my second time at a Ruth Chris steakhouse. I have fond memories of my family and my first visit. We went to the Arlington location and I remember the view was great and the food was even better. This time we decided to try the DC location. Most of our party arrived a bit early for our reservation but were seated promptly, the decor was nicely done and elegant. They were able to accommodate our party of 9 without an issue and even waited for our 3 late members. The server was attentive. I ordered the crab cakes, tomato and cucumber salad and the sweet potato soufflé. All were very good. I thought the 3 very small crab cakes were not going to fill me up but surprisingly they did. They were full of crab meat with very little fillers and were quite flavorful. The sides were big enough to share. My favorite thing was the sweet potato dish. So sweet and not over powered by the pecan bits. Nice recipe. You want to hear something strange? As much as I loved the food I was bored. Lol. My family was there but everything seemed kind of dull and we are a lively bunch. Maybe it was the soft barely there elevator music pumping through the restaurant. During Christmas time I expected more Christmas cheer at the restaurant but I suppose you have to be respectful of those who don't celebrate the holiday. That's my only complaint if it even is a legitimate one lol.

My husband and I love this restaurant chain, in any state we visit, we seem to always end up at Ruth's Chris. So I would say we're regulars and accustomed to immaculate food and service. It started off iffy, we took an Uber and used the address provided on google, apparently that was not the exact location for the restaurant, after riding around for 5 min or so I called the restaurant, the host was familiar with this issue and gave us the exact location address. Once arrived we were seated immediately, the place wasn't packed, maybe about 3 large parties and us. The waiter got out drink order and food orders. I ordered my norm, stuff chicken, husband ordered the ribeye and we shared the sweet potato casserole and au gratin potatoes. The food came out in a timely manner brought to the table by someone else, our waiter checked on us 1 more time after food arrived, after that we did not see him again until we flagged him down for the check and more water. I'm not use to the lack of attentiveness at Ruth's Chris. The place wasn't that busy. The food was okay, had better. Chicken was a little salty. Not sure if I would visit this location again.

so ruth Chris in Savannah ga is under new ownership and management. Common sense obviously doesn't apply to the current team/owner. I come here and my bill is always 250.00 plus.......not a problem however who picked these chairs out!!! Uncomfortable and cheap quality. The food is good but not great. I knew the old owner and he was great. Obvious the new folks are interested in being cheap and not interested in quality. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

First time eating at a Ruth's Chris and it was amazing. The atmosphere is classy but casual and service was excellent. We had Zoe as our server and he was fantastic!! The food was delicious. I ordered the sea bass and hubby got the special that came with starter and dessert. BBQ shrimp favorite followed by crab stuffed mushrooms and lobster bisque. We had a margarita, a Nola mule and the Gambler's old fashioned which were also great. If it wasn't so expensive we would definitely eat here more often!!

I was deeply disappointed. The food was cold, we had to keep looking for our waiter. What really made me say I will never eat there again was in the bathroom. Can you imagine paying over $200 for a meal and having to squat to use the bathroom. All the cover seat packs were empty and no hand soap. Never again. Finally, our check. It was a party of 12, but I had several items on my check that I did not order. Drinks and food. It was a very disappointing experience.

Ruth and Chris put together a phenomenal meal for us feeble people. I thoroughly enjoyed every last bite of their food. It melts in your mouth like 2 double stuffed oreos drenched in milk on a cold winter night. The service was beyond phenomenal and made me feel like I was a real man in big boy pants. They treat you with the respect and honor of a viking leader and allow you to laugh with family. Not allowed to wear hats in the dining room.

After 10 years in NYC, 20 in DC, and another 10 traveling the world, I've eaten in near every known steakhouse on the planet. That includes all the NYC greats (e.g., Sparks, Old Homestead, Keen's), Chicago (Gibson's, Chop House), old work-horses (e.g., Capital Grill, The Prime Rib) and of course the range of upstarts (e.g, BLT, del Frisco's, Maestro). Don't let anybody fool you, Peter Luger's is the king, yesterday and today and everyday. I know what I'm talking about. But day in and day out, Ruth's Chris is the go to. They just don't miss. The steak might not be as "nutty" as The Palm, but the meat is high quality and perfectly cooked. (Their secret is they finish it in butter and a splash of Worcestershire.). Here in DC, RC had a fantasy location lined with bricks and small rooms and secret hallways. It was brilliant! Everyone at the bar knew each other. I tended to go for the Fire Shrimp appetizer (hot-ish sauce with some cream), the Ruth's Chris salad (lettuce, egg, bacon, carrot and more tossed in an unknown light cream sauce and delivered standing up as if it just came from a cupcake tray), the 10oz filet medium rare, and a side of sautéed mushrooms. My God! I tried everything on the menu. It was all stellar. The place was full of character, charm, and camaraderie. I've never gotten the full story, but apparently they needed more space to moved downtown to an antiseptic corporate street side location that is bereft of uniqueness. The service is still excellent, but the food has suffered, as has the community the previous location captured. When in the old location I ate there twice a month. I go to the new one twice a year. It makes me wonder what corporate is thinking.

Manager is rude rude rude. I walked in with a nice black hat on because I have alopecia. Linda, the manager, loudly told me to take my hat off in front of many customers forcing me to let her know in front of other customers that I have a medical condition so I have patches of hair missing. I let Linda know I was offended by the way she said that in front of everyone and the hostess told me "well you don't have to eat here, you don't have to eat here." I ended up leaving as people were staring. Never been so embarrassed. Try asking someone quietly as not to shame them. It wasn't the hat policy it was the way you told me to remove my hat so I needed to inform the restaurant about my medical condition. Photos are of my bald spot and the a photo after we left Ruth's chris and went to Azumi Sushi house owned by Atlas Group down the street. We were frequent visitors to Ruth's Chris as the food is consistently fabulous and the staff used to be professionals but we never be back.

This place is one of the worst fine dining restaurants I have ever been to. The server was a sweetheart but our food was cooked at incorrect temperatures, missing sides, etc. I asked to speak to a manager and I had the unfortunate experience of speaking with a manager named Kimberly. She's very passive aggressive and speaks in a rude manner but covers it with a smile. I will not return!

Not only do they have phenomenal food, they also had the BEST service we could ask for. We had 3 servers helping us and they communicated that with us from the start! They were very personable and friendly! They recommended amazing dishes and truly contributed to a wonderful experience!

We've made it a family tradition to come Here for thanksgiving. Parking in 10 dollars outside for valet. It says cash only but we were told That's an old sign. You can scan the QR code and pay that way. Once inside we were seated as we made reservations ahead of time (highly suggested ). Went to the bathroom and this is where things fell apart for me. The bathroom was FILTHY I mean YUCK. Like we weren't dining at a high end restaurant but a gas station bathroom it was that dirty. You can tell no one monitors it because it was built up filth . So disappointing. This is why I can't give it full stars. The service was ok . Fabian was very sweet and attentive. It was a busy night so we understand the mishaps. The food was good as expected and large portions. Please clean the bathroom yall. If I wasn't starving like I was, I wouldn't have eaten my food due to loss of appetite

Food was great but when the bill came, several items were billed incorrectly/upcharged. When we asked to see the menu again so we could verify the prices of the items we ordered, he proceeded to remove a drink from our bill, but the mistakes in price per item/total bill were still there. We had to get our bill corrected twice. My partner and I do not think that this was unintentional. CHECK YOUR BILL

I had the pleasure of previewing this new location at 21st & L st. Atmosphere was on point. Service was on point. And most importantly, the food was on point. I started off the night with their ahi tuna, zucchini fries, and a blueberry mojito. Ahi tuna was perfectly seasoned on the sides; that peppery flavor really complimented the delicate tuna. Loved the sauce used to dip with the crispy zucchini fries. Blueberry mojito was the perfect accompaniment to my appetizers. My entree was the steak & shrimp. A+ for presentation since the shrimp was beautifully layered on top of my steak. I ordered my steak medium since I love a bit of char with that tender pink color. Tasted amazing! Finished off the night with the bread pudding. This item surprised me the most. The bread pudding came with a white chocolate sauce and the bread pudding tasted unique, almost like a buttery pancake. Don't sleep on the bread pudding guys!!! I don't expect anything less from Ruth's Chris. Truly a reliable establishment!

Made a reservation for Mother's Day at 5:15 PM. Didn't get seated until 615 and we had two small children with us so you can imagine the boredom that set in after half an hour. I realize it was Mother's Day but there's a reason people make reservations ~ it's to avoid waiting. Wasn't offered anything to drink or even for the children to snack on while waiting. Had to walk up three different times just to check on an estimated time to get seated. If they had kept us updated, probably would've deterred some of our frustration. Finally got seated and waited another hour for our entrée. I will say the appetizers came out pretty quickly, which was their saving grace at that point. No one from management came over to ask how everything was. Maybe that was to avoid confrontation, but it still would have gone along way. No discount or free dessert was offered to compensate the poor service. Also, the children's steak off the children's menu came rare, so it was promptly sent back to be cooked more only to never return . Other than that, all the other food was excellent & no complaints on that end. But I think in the future they definitely need to be more prepared for holidays where they know they will be extremely busy. Some restaurants cap your time at a table for two hours (on holidays so they're able to accommodate everyone) but they couldn't do that because it was taking them so long to even get you seated and get your food out. We did have a very nice waiter. None of the above was his fault.

The staff & managers at the Ruth Chris in Odenton MD should be commended for their positive feel, great service, and phenomenal food. They made this evening out of an experience. I was so pleased. I was greeted by a host who immediately found us a great booth with curtains. We were seated immediately to honor our reservation. Taylor, our waitress, knew her menu! She made great suggestions. The appetizers & the drinks she selected were phenomenal! Mark, the manager, came by our table to check on us. I was floored by his concern and intuitive way of listening. I normally go to Crystal City, but I will be back. This was a hidden gem!

Lamb Chops was cooked and Seasoned just right. The 1st time I didn't have to add salt or pepper. I asked for A1 but I didn't need lt due to just right flavor and very well cooked. I'll be back I saw the chefs Summer Special that was looking good.

My brother loves this place. We came here with my cousins recently and it was fantastic. Burger, steak sandwich, ahi tuna, and shrimp were fantastic.

We had an amazing happy hour hour service! The food was delicious and cocktails were perfect. Bartenders were very attentive, specifically Jasmine (I hope I am spelling her name correct.) We will definitely be back to this location.

Well, if you look at my Yelp you will see my wife and I have several reviews of several different restaurants and a few RCSH from around the country. So, here is our take on this Ruth's Chris Steak House. We both had the Filet and Lobster. The steak was good but one degree done more than requested. But, still a good steak and nice cut. The lobster was fine as well. Here is the score. Location p4. It's hard to get a 5 star location when you are a Downtown location. Atmosphere 4.5. Nicely decorated and lit very nice. Everything was clean and what you should get from a top restaurant. Food. 4.5 Service. 5. We will round from a 4.5 to a 5.

I like Ruth Chris steakhouse and it's the first time I've been to this location and overall it was okay. My mom and I sat at the bar and the service was fine, the bartenders were really nice. My mom ordered a martini which was made twice...why? I don't know but sadly my mom didn't like it. She said it was very watery. I ordered a steak house salad. If someone reads that they would expect steak on their salad....NO steak. My mom and I were very confused. We asked about it and one of the bartenders said "oh yeah you are not the only one." Hmmm then maybe consider changing the name of this particular salad because it is VERY misleading!

So I always enjoy the food at Ruth's Chris. However the service at this location was really bad, and I'm not upset at the waitress. She was overwhelmed and under trained. The manager set her up for the bad service. 1 waitress for a group of 25 people. 1 drink menu for 25 people, we all had to share.... Service was all over the place, cocktails served in mugs, did you run out of glasses? Martini's served in highball glasses. The wait for a glass of water was ridiculous. Dinner was served family style, sides were late and just placed on the table with no serving utensils. The hostess dropped a gift for the main table broke it and just placed it in the room and walked out. When I explain she dropped it and it broke she was like it can be fixed, really it can't. But that's not the point. However the food was good as always

I came here for dinner one night to celebrate a new job. Our server Sandy was excellent from start to finish. She gave us great recommendations and our meal was incredible. I had the Petite Filet and Shrimp and for sides, we had Lobster Mac & Cheese and Brussel Sprouts. At the end of our meal, Sandy brought out a celebratory dessert for me! It was a nice surprise and I love bread pudding. Looking forward to dining at this location again.

Never have I ever... received such bad service. We started with a frosty welcome and were told we could not be seated, though we had called 6 minutes earlier to ensure that it was possible if we arrived by the 8:30 seating cut-off. A manager finally arrived to grudgingly overrule the hostess, who still made us wait as other walk-in parties (of the same size) that arrived after us were seated. No better at the table... was offered bread when we ordered; did not arrive. Asked again when our meals were delivered but, alas, once plates were placed in front of us, WE NEVER SAW ANOTHER STAFFER! Eventually, we left cash on the table and walked out. Otherwise, we'd probably still be sitting there waiting for the check -- or that elusive bread I'd hoped to have with my salad. Have all Ruth's Chrises gone to hell or is the DC location particularly cursed? I had so many fond memories of RC dinners past, but I'm not likely to ever try the chain again.

I went to the space to my 21st birthday and I love it a lot. I expect a little more of the seafood macaroni though.

I made 6:45pm reservations but arrived 30 minutes early. They sat us in the bar without asking if that would be okay. I was annoyed because I'm a recovering alcoholic but didn't complain as I think they were accommodating my early arrival (but they didn't mention that). The service from the multiple bar staff was excellent! My steak was over cooked and Brussels sprouts undercooked but both were very edible and tasty. The baked potato was great but didn't come with enough butter and sour cream, but the waiter gladly got me more. I will try this place again and next time ask for dining room only. Based on this experience alone, it was overpriced for what I got, but shrimp cocktail was excellent!
