Ruth's Chris Steak House

Every time I go to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse restaurant, the service is exceptional. I went last year for my anniversary with my husband and this year was no exception. Last year, the waitress Paola waited on us and by chance this year she served us herself. Paola was very attentive, she made sure that we felt comfortable and that we had a pleasant night. If I could give Paola more than 5 stars for her service, I would. Definitely on the next anniversary I will ask that Paola attend to us again. Thank you Paola and Ruth's Chris Restaurant for taking care of us perfectly. Of course, without leaving behind the fact that the food was on another level. My New York strip and shrimp were cooked to perfection. Dessert was excellent! Even though, the dinner can be expensive, around $250 for 2, it is alllllll worth the money. Trust me! 😊

If you’re looking for a high-end, “chain” steakhouse in the Financial District- you have to give Ruth’s Chris a visit. Ruth’s Chris is known for their signature steaks cooked to perfection with plenty of butter and served sizzling on a 500-degree plate. They’re also well known for their classic sides, like creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes. You’ll also find a solid selection of appetizers and fresh seafood! We decided to stop in to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner. We are not big fans of Turkey, we find it dry. So, I decided to visit the location inside of “Old City Hall”. The location is certainly unique and the architecture is absolutely stunning. The location is located right inside the main entrance of Old City Hall. The interior boasts gothic architecture and rich woods. We specifically booked our reservation for the main dining room. They do have a dining room in the front, back, as well as downstairs. We were seated relatively quickly. The hostesses seemed to have an issue pulling up and “confirming” our reservation, but this was fixed promptly and we were guided to our table. It was in the main rear dining room, as requested. It was a table for two and everything was set perfectly. We both decided to go with Ruth’s Classic Prix Fixe Menu. That comes with a starter- Caesar Salad, Steakhouse Salad, or Lobster Bisque. I opted for the steakhouse salad. The salad was crisp and fresh. The portion was also very generous. However, it lacked any “toppings”, for a lack of a better term. There were maybe two-three grape tomatoes halves. They also way overdid it on the red onion. I was lucky to find two-three mini croutons. They could certainly improve the salads. Next, you choose your choice of entree. They offer both surf and turf options. Given it was Thanksgiving, they also offered a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with oven-roasted turkey, stuffing, gravy, and more. We are not fans of turkey, but seeing it come out it was a good size portion and many folks had leftovers to take home with them. I decided to go with the 6-ounce filet and lobster tail. I opted for the Bleu Cheese “Crust” for a small up-charge. It is just right, it doesn’t overpower the flavor of the beef. My companion ordered the same, except they opted for the Truffle “Crust”. You also get a personal-size side of your choice. I do wish they offered all their sides as an option. However, you cannot go wrong with Ruth’s Creamed Spinach and Garlic Mashed Potatoes! The sides are large enough for two to share, in my opinion. To finish off the meal, you also get a personal-sized dessert! You typically would get a mini, traditional cheesecake. Given it was Thanksgiving, they offered mini Pumpkin Cheesecake. It is served with a small scoop of ice cream. We took ours to go. It was so-so. You can upgrade to a different dessert for an up-charge. Service was top-notch and our server was phenomenal. She ensured we had everything we needed and were completely satisfied. They are always ensuring your water is topped off and that the table is clean and tidy. For a high-end “chain”, the service is very attentive. The food was top-notch. The steaks were cooked perfectly, medium rare. They were flavorful, juicy, tender, and seasoned just-right. They came out with that signature sizzle on that 500-degree plate. If you’re looking for a consistent, reliable, high-end chain steakhouse in the financial district, I’d certainly suggest Ruth’s Chris.

This restaurant is phenomenal. Great service and great atmosphere to celebrate my 5 year wedding anniversary. Couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate. Thank you to the manager and our waitress Jessica who were so accomomative and attentive. We will surely make this place a reoccurring location.
