Ruth's Chris Steak House

Bellevue is blessed to have one of the few Ruth Chris restaurants that has a happy hour. The service, food and prices are all GREAT. The burgers are by far the best deal in town. The house red wines and well drinks are also a bargain. more

Weekend Happy Hour from 4pm-7pm or 9pm-10pm great food, try the cheeseburger! Excellent prices! Nice ambiance. Excellent place to meet friends, or dinner and a movie. more

Burger bites YUMMY Pros: Close Cons: Crowded more

OK... The good first. We had Filet Mignon and Lamb Chops. Both were excellent and up to the expected... more

I have been a frequent and fond guest of Ruth?s Chris restaurants throughout the country for over 14 years. If you are a fan as well, plan to skip this one. The location is mediocre unless you like a view of The Cost Plus Stores' roof across the street. It is in a mall and took a while to find the actual entrance as it is not on the street. We had to cover many levels of the parking structure to find the entrance to the restaurant. No valet parking. The service staff attitude was - lets say - less than warm and welcoming, no manager to check in with us about our dinner as is standard practice at other locations, , had to ask for more water, drinks and bread, slow in arriving at the table even though the restaurant was practically empty on a Monday evening. Food was fair, served cold, hard bread, not the customary soft warm bread of other locations. Experience was very disappointing. I expected much more from a favorite restaurant in Bellevue, WA. Pros: Quiet, dark Cons: Poor service, and service staff atitude more

we ate at a ruth's chris for the first time tonight and it was great! Pros: great food Cons: attached to the mall more

Good service, upscale environment, great wine list. I've been to a few Ruthses, this one I liked better. more

My fiance and I (both in our early mid 20s) came here for the first time on our anniversary. We made reservations & upon arrival were seated promptly at a quiet table upstairs showered with pretty confetti. Our waiter was very friendly & knowledgeable & also helped us pick the perfect wine for our steak. For our appetizer we had caesar salads, which were much fresher & tastier than the caesar?s we had at Daniel?s. My salad at Daniel?s tasted dirty & lettuce was kind of mushy & old. I ordered the Filet medium-well & my fiance had the Ribeye. Our steaks arrived sizzling & every bite just as succulent as the first, deliciously juicy, melting in our mouths. Even though our waiter assured us the sides are quite large, we went ahead and ordered 3 anyway ? mashed & au gratin potatoes, & fresh broccoli. The sides were excellent. Potatoes moist, perfect flavor! Broccoli definitely fresh! For desert we shared a chocolate sin cake and boy was it DELICIOUS! Each bite ever so moist! The steaks we had at Daniel?s tasted nothing compared to here. I ordered the Filet medium-well at Daniel?s as well & was served a bland, medium-rare steak with red ooze, which made me sick later that night (since the evening we were at Daniel?s was also a special night for us, I was too embarrassed to have my steak sent back & ate it anyway ? huge mistake!). Potatoes at Daniel?s tasted old & very dry and broccoli was not fresh; our desert was also a huge disappointment! To top it off, the waiter at Daniel?s was rude, disrespectful and rushed us on our special night. RUTH?S BY FAR IS THE BETTER STEAKHOUSE!! Even for the price! We spent much less here than at Daniel?s. Daniel?s may have a ?view?, but the food and service at Ruth?s was EXTRAORDINARY. We were not rushed and were treated with respect. This was without doubt a dinner of exceptional food and quality service we will always remember. Great place to celebrate special occasions and will definitely visit Ruth?s again! Pros: Great food, Excellent Staff, Perfect for Couples more

If you're planning on going to Ruth's Chris for their late night happy hour, think again. We showed up last night at 8:30 and inquired if the expected happy hour was to begin shortly. Much to our surprise the answer was ""No."" Seems they have discontinued the late night happy hour because ""It's Christmas shopping season."" Okay . . . it's not yet Halloween! This was only our first disappointment. All of the microbrews - both on tap and in the bottle - were gone. ""I'm sorry, we're out of Mac & Jack's. Oh, we're out of that as well."" Although our better judgment told us, ""Go to Daniel's!"" we stayed and ordered some grub. The first basket of fries we were given were lukewarm and had to be sent back. Our mini steak burgers were mediocre. Do yourself a favor: for atmostphere, service and price, spend your money at Daniel's across the street. With all of the competition amongst restaurants in downtown Bellevue now, you would think Ruth's Chris would want to compete. We will not be returning. Pros: Good shoestring fries Cons: Overpriced for what you get more

happy hour has some great prices -- i mean 2.95 for a burger and 4.95 for a steak sandwich... really isnt... more

My husband and I went here for the first time and we were really impressed. We chose to sit in the bar and we were seated immediately. Our server was very helpful and attentive. We shared the green bean almondine and of course we each had to have Steak. The fresh beans were delicious and the steak was excellent. This was a special night for us and the dinner made it even more memorable. Pros: Quick seating, great service Cons: parking garage was packed more

My friend and I stopped in for a light dinner at their bar after an exciting day of shopping. We ordered the bacon wrapped filet bites and the seared ahi tuna along with drinks. The filet mignon bites were over-done and tasted as if they were pre cooked hours before. We took a couple of bites and couldnt finish the $12 appetizer. The ahi was more acceptable although very spicy. I forced myself to atleast finish that plate. Here's the most disappointing part of the experience...the waitress. She was extremely short and unattentive and made us feel very unwelcome. I was afraid to even ask for water. Needless to say next time i will cross the street and go to Daniels where the food and service is always excellent! Cons: TERRIBLE SERVICE, mediocre bar menu more

I've never been here for the actual dining, but I've come for happy hour quite a few times and loved it! The happy hour food prices aren't stellar, but their 1/2 pound burger is an exception - for $2.95, you get a heifer of a burger! A thick, juicy 1/2 pound patty on perfectly toasted buns. Delicious! You can get fries for $1.95 which are tasty, but there aren't very much to go around. A friend that dined with me got the seared ahi tuna ($5ish range) which had a smoky flavor. It was tasty, but nothing to write home about. What I love to get with my burger is the happy hour bartender drinks - I prefer the $3 cosmo. Yummy drinks, and while they normally aren't too strong, I once received a cosmo there that left me tipsy after one drink! Varies on the bartender, I suppose. Other special happy hour drinks include a glass of wine or beer (don't know which ones as I've never ordered them personally) as well as margaritas all for $3 a pop. Anyways, go for the 1/2 burger! Pros: Happy Hour, Service, Food & Drink Specials Cons: Difficulty getting a table in the bar more

When ever I arrive here with a reservations on time, my party and I always had to wait an extra 5-10... more

We went there based upon the open table review that it was $$$ and Daniels was $$$$. We were taking my FIL out for his birthday/father's day. When I ordered my steak I was very clear that pink was OK but I wanted to see no red ooze out while I was cutting it. My MIL ordered hers between Medium and Medium rare. When the steaks came out mine was about medium rare, slightly less and hers was pretty much raw. So I gave her mine and sent the other one back.......3 times! the fourth time I told them to just keep it. My FIL said that people all around us were sending their meals back. Cons: Too many to list more

Very unpleasant experience and way too overpriced for the quality of service and food! My husband makes much better steaks! We went there with a couple of friends just before Christmas, based on a recommendation from a co-worker. Cons: Overpriced, unpleasant service more

With a group of my 9 Asian girlfriends, we decided to do a dessert night out. We were seated promptly as they were busy, but after receiving our menu, our waiter passed our table in the middle of the room countless times, obviously ignoring us, serving other tables who arrived after us before even giving us a glance. After successfully hailing him down, he took our order without a smile, without courtesy, without apology. After complaining to the manager, the manager said this waiter would be fired immediately for his inept behavior and attitude, as we thought it was a racial matter as well. Another waiter filled his place for the rest of our night and was way beyond superior. But upon returning with another friend a month later, the horrbile waiter that was promised to be immediately fired was walking around, waiting tables! How and why? I'd like to know. Ruth's Chris does not cater to their patrons as promised. I'm very disappointed and offended. Pros: location Cons: worst service more

I'm not a big steak person but this was the place that absolutely turned me onto steak. Steak totally redeemed itself for me at this restaurant. Not only does it come served hot on a plate when it comes to your table but the steak is served on a hot plate slathered with butter. It was absolutely delicious. Our side orders were great too, garlic mashed potates and sauteed green beans with almonds. Everything came in the perfect amount and portions, not too much not too little. It had a great ambiance, was very classy and the service was spectacular. Our waiter did not hover over us but he also did not forget about us. Great for dates or with a group of friends! Pros: Steak, service, ambiance more

this is definitely my *favorite* happy hour pick in bellevue (and one of my favorites anywhere!). we always... more

I LOVE this place! My husband and I have been here several times and the food is consistently good. We have also been to Daniel's Broiler several times, but after a couple of bad meals there we have made Ruth's Chris our new favorite special occasion place. The steaks come out sizzling, so the last bite is still as hot as the first. The sides are plentiful enough to share and the hot apple tart topped off with a glass of Essensia or Elysium dessert wine is pure heaven. Since we usually go on a Saturday night, we are always greeted by the same waiter, who knows us by name now and always makes us feel welcome. There are special touches for special occasions - confetti on the table and champagne toasts for anniversaries. It's a great place to celebrate! more
