“Best place I've eaten by far. Great food all around. Disappointed they took away the king crab legs BUT still my favorite place to eat. All their meats are perfectly cooked.“

“From the moment we sat down, the service made the night feel special. Every member of the team was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely committed to making our experience exceptional. The food was out of this world — the steak was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and incredibly tender. The chicken and dumplings were comfort at its finest, rich, hearty, and absolutely unforgettable. And the drinks… each one tasted like a little sip of heaven, balanced, refreshing, and crafted with real care. An all‑around fantastic dinner with incredible service, phenomenal dishes, and drinks that left us smiling. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Our daughters organized a wonderful milestone birthday celebration for us at Ruth’s Chris in one of the private dining rooms, which included access to an inviting private outdoor patio.

The most appreciated complement to our celebration was the excellent service provided by our congenial hostess, Leah. She was gracious, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, with an attitude that made it clear she wanted to ensure our evening was truly special.

Thank you, Leah, for helping make our milestone birthday celebration one we will always remember. When you go, ask for Leah—you will be in wonderful hands!“

“I highly recommend Osteria Stella for anybody seeking an authentic Italian meal experience plus a romantic, dark atmosphere. The environment, service, food and drinks are all amazing. I cannot brag on the food quality and staff enough, it was truly a fantastic experience. We loved everything we were served and our server Matt was a rockstar. I loved getting to try their imported meats for an appetizer, and the house made gnocchi with pesto as my entree. Thank you guys so much for the memories. Check out Osteria Stella when you can!“

“Nice but not pretentious. interesting selection“

“This is awesome place. If you want to try different beers, wine, meads, ciders, cocktails, or more. You pay by the Oz. You pour it yourself. Everything is on tap. You get bracelet that you scan and it keeps up with how much and which ones you tried.

The food is nothing fancy. But it is really good.“

“I loved this place. Intimate atmosphere, great drinks, wine and dinner menu. Enjoyed our meal very much.“

“This place is fantastic. Service was excellent-Brian took great care of us. Food was delicious-we split chicken fajitas and there was plenty to share. The yummy frozen margarita topped off the visit. Interior and exterior are well designed making the atmosphere warm and welcoming. I definitely recommend this restaurant and will go back. It’s my new favorite.“

“My wife and I stopped in for a Valentines Day weekend dinner and were plesently blown away. The Appetizer, Salad, Steak, Stuffed Lobster, Sea Bass and desert were all some of the best we can recall. Our server was pleasant, answered all our many questions and our food came out quickly even tho the restaurant was very busy. We can’t wait to go back and try some of the other items on the menu! 🤩“
