I have been to Ruth's Chris countless times and every experience had been up to par, but the last visit deserves praise by the exceptional service.
I had went with a friend to RC's last Thursday evening with the intention of having some small plates and a glass of wine. When ended up happening is 3 hours later, 2 bottles of wine and a handful of appetizers/small plates and a memorable experience.
Upon being seated we were greeted immediately by a server who let us know that there would be a couple servers handling us for the evening. Each one of the servers were cordial and accommodating. From the moment they checked my ID, they had called me by my name each time they addressed me, which is a nice personable touch which is lost upon most restaurants these days.
The seared ahi is great and has a flavorful and spicy wasabi soy-ginger sauce accompanying it. The portion size is good for two. The coconut shrimp and stuffed mushrooms with crab are also very flavorful and would suggest ordering.
The guest I was with, said they have never had such a good combination of service and food. Although, Ruth's has a premium price tag, it's worth every penny.
Free valet parking out front of the restaurant. If you want more of a casual atmosphere, sit in the bar area. They have hightop tables as well as conventional white cloth booths. Either one will give you a good atmosphere and less of the uptight feel.
