Great steaks, drinks and atmosphere!! Seriously, his friend was dreamy!! Thank you Stevens for a wonderful evening, one my new sailor will forever remember! Love from Texas!!“

“We celebrated my birthday at Ruth Chris, arriving at 6:15 on a Thursday night. It was not crowded so the noise level was perfect and we could hear ourselves talk. The waiter was excellent, and the menu was varied. We knew prices before we arrived, so the expensive steaks were no surprise; however, the delicious flavor of the meat was so good that we were surprised about that.. Wine offerings were fair-priced and varied. The sides we ordered were delicious, especially the asparagus and sweet potato casserole. Ambiance was sophisticated but welcoming. It is a beautiful restaurant with excellent food. They pamper celebration diners with the table setting and a delicious desert gift. We intend to return for special events or for when the desire for really good steak is whispering to be heard.“
