The service was great! Jaren was our waiter and he was phenomenal. We had various seafood and steak items and it was great. The creme brûlée cheese cake was PERFECT!

Atmosphere and servers are great. We were very disappointed that 20 minutes after we placed our order the server told us they were out of the garlic mashed potatoes that were an important part of the Filet Medallions and shrimp dinners we had ordered. Our meals were served with a half of a baked potato. This is unacceptable for an upscale restaurant. If they are unable to serve the meal as stated on the menu it should be removed.

Great food and great service. Kylee and Kaytland are amazing staff. Attention to details. I also love the fact that they hire adults with different abilities. Such a great atmosphere, food and staff!

For the most part, all the entrees were good. The salmon was not as good as I expected. The steaks and pork chop were delicious. Sides we okay. Wine and drinks were great. I'll know what to order next time.

We had the lobster bisque and Caesar salad to start. Both were amazing. The ribeye was wonderful and the continuous bread and butter with the meal was one of the best parts. We had a server named Jaron who went above and beyond to meet our needs and help us celebrate a birthday. Jaron was so much fun to talk to and made sure our drinks were always filled and that our experience was 5 stars. This was a great place to celebrate a birthday. The food is delicious, the service is outstanding, and the atmosphere of the building is wonderful. We will definitely be returning for the lobster bisque and steaks!

We went to celebrate our anniversary. Our server was incredible. She was so kind and even brought us a cute dessert as a treat for our celebration. The building itself (being extremely new) was beautiful and so mod. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. If you are looking for a more private date night, I recommend a booth as they kind of encapsulate you. The regular tables are also a great option, too! The music playing and the delicious food made us feel like we were in an old movie! We will definitely be back. We both had steaks (A New York Strip and a Filet Mignon) and we had the Mac and Cheese. All was incredible! We also enjoyed a Shrimp Cocktail for an appetizer. The bread and different topping options was a fun tasting experience. The atmosphere was also a nice change from the usual "date nights" we see many people on with their phones in their face. The only time we saw any phone use was people taking pictures of their delicious food. We cannot wait to be back. Plus, after dinner, we tried our hand at some slots and actual did well! ;) Thank you, Ruthie's for a wonderful date night!

I had the lobster bisque and sea bass. Lobster bisque was very good. Sea bass was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Our waitress, Jera, was very attentive and professional Highly recommend!

Exceptional experience!! The service was fabulous, Austin, our server, elevated the experience to a whole new level!! He was kind, thoughtful, polite, and a true pleasure to meet!! The food was incredible!! Probably the best meal we have ever had!! Our compliments to the chef and all kitchen staff!! We will definitely be coming back!!

First time to eat in this restaurant and was extremely pleased with the experience. Service was spectacular and the food was amazing. We will be back. Next time maybe we'll take the time to go to the casino and see how that is.

We celebrated our anniversary at Ruthie's and had a fabulous experience. It's an upscale restaurant perfect for special occasions or even "just because". The hostess was friendly and welcoming, we were seated immediately in a private booth. Our waitress was very informative, helpful and attentive. Delicious cuisine at every bite, amazing cocktails, spectacular atmosphere and decor. We highly recommend it.

We were with a group of eight on a snowy Friday night. It was the first time dining at Ruthies and not one of us were disappointed. In fact, we made a pack to make it an annual event. The room was nice and very well decorated. The place settings were modern and the roses on the tables made it extra special.We started with salads and lobster bisque. Each serving was fresh and larger than expected.The majority of the table ordered filet medallions with shrimp sitting on fabulous mashed potatoes with onion straws and asparagus as a side. Each person said it was great and would order again. Pork chop and baked potato was also ordered with a rave review. Personally I had one of the specials, shrimp and grits. YUM! The shrimp was large on every plate. We ended our evening with one slice of chocolate cake...heavenly. Our server was exceptional and we kept him hopping. Our coffee cups were never empty.I could go on and on and on, but I think you get the picture. If possible please give Ruthies a try, you will leave with a smile on your face and stomach full of fabulous food.

Ruthies provided a wonderful first-time experience. The filet medallions & shrimp was excellently prepared and at a moderate price. The ambiance was fine dining Vegas style with quaint small semi-circular booth accompanied by a nice wine list, a variety of food choices, and an excellent wait staff.

We went for my Birthday/ Anniversary. The food was excellent. I had the Fillet medallion with Shrimp, it was melt in your mouth delicious . My husband had the Ribeye and his too was amazingly delicious. Our side was the herbed mushrooms and that was yummy too. It was definitely the best dinner I had in a very long time. Oh did I say that the service was great too, yes it was. We will be back.

Everything was great including out sever. My only complaint is that my maryland Delmonico ribeye was very thin for a high end steakhouse. it was more along the lines of a texas roadhouse or outback expectation. Unfortunately this resulted in it being over cooked and having to be redone. the repeat temp was still not correct but better. I ordered a medium rare steak that came out medium well, and the repeat cook was medium. Everything else was perfect. The ambiance, waiter, service, appetizers, etc.
