Ruth's Chris Steak House

Our service was excellent, the atmosphere lovely, and the steaks where done perfectly.

Unfortunately, my appetizer salad (ceasar) was browning on the edges and wilted. Not just one or two pieces, but the majority or the plate. The bread that was served looked good on top, but when picked up the bottoms were almost blackened and burnt. Could not even tear the bread. At the prices being paid I would hope for the food to be fresh and not overcooked.
We won't be returning to this location, and will chose a high price outing elsewhere in town with more consistency to keep the details with the food correct.

My wife surprised me with a trip to Chicago with a nice dinner at Ruth's Cris' steak house. Love this place. Love their steaks. Amazing atmosphere and amazing food. Dont go often, but always enjoy when we do.

The food tasted absolutely fantastic. However, the creamed spinach was lukewarm. Scalloped potatoes were perfection. The meat was delicious and cooked to perfection.

Sevice was a different lackluster story. Had two servers, the second being present twice to scoop some, but not all of the crumbs from our table. Neither server seemed to understand the rules of fine dining. More training is a definite necessity.

Our main server, a nice and pleasant person, when asked for a wine recommendation to pair with the Surf and Turf, stated, "It's really a matter of preference." ???

When we chose a wine, it took a long time to arrive and our server talked about how busy they were. They totally fumbled opening the bottle and the cork was left half in for a bit before it was finally opened. We had to pour our own wine for the duration of the bottle. Had to ask for a second knife.

Cleanup was clumsy, at best. We moved to the bar and ordered two glasses of wine totaling $40+. The bartender did not approach us again until we called, "Excuse me." There were six people at the bar.

First time here, and I must say, I will be back. I don't usually like steak houses due to the prices,
and the quality is not always up to my expectations. But, Ruth's Chris is totally worth it. It is an expensive night out, but the food, and drinks, and the atmosphere totally worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed my 6oz fillet mignon that was tender and full of flavor. The calamari appetizer was amazing. My fiancee had the salmon that literally melts in your mouth. Over all, I will be back for a special occasion and recommend to any willing to spend the money.
