Tried this restaurant for the first time on New Year’s Eve at about 9:45pm. The decor and the vibe was solid for the overall price point.
The appetizers were alright. The Caesar Salad is as expected. The Calamari was interesting since it was wet (but not soggy) rather than the traditional crunchy – still enjoyable. The Artichoke Dip was probably the best appetizer – hearty, filling, and flavorful. I ordered the Ruth’s Classic, which came with the French Onion Soup to start. This was much more greasy and oily than expected, with a pungent flavor.
The Filet was beyond lovely though. A thorough buttery texture with each bite satisfying. The topped shrimp were pretty ordinary and non-interesting. The sides paired well and were just as great.
The unfortunate negative review is due to service. I realize it was a busy time, but people cleared out of the restaurant 30 minutes after arrival – as mentioned by the server. However the lack of attention and competence was still felt through the end of the meal. It took 10 minutes to be given water, an additional 10 minutes to be given my Old Fashioned. (The servers actually ran around with it in the dining hall to find who ordered it.) By the time I received it, the smoke flourish had long dissipated. A Sprite was also ordered and we were served Club Soda three times after informing the server and sending the drink back. They eventually stopped trying and were served Coke. When we were asked for a refill on the Coke, we said yes, but it didn’t come. We checked in on getting the refill, but didn’t get one for the next 30 minutes we were seated. We wanted to pay part of the bill with a gift card and the rest with Apple Pay. I went up to the POS with them and found that they couldn’t apply it without manager approval, and the manager-on-duty couldn’t be found for another 5-10 minutes.
For this price point, I’d expect the service to be a bit more buttoned-up. The meat was some of the best I’ve had, but the service did sour the overall feeling of the night.

This was my first time at the Ruth’s Chris. We decided to go there for Thanksgiving. We went to the downtown DC location and it was busy.
Food was per usual – Delish.
Service – Our server nice was enough, but had no personality and didn’t really understand the flow of things. I don’t think there were enough servers or people just weren’t doing their jobs. Never once was our water refilled. After asking 4 times we got bread but wasn’t until 3/4 of the way through our meal. She kept telling us it was cooking which may have been true – but what was that about!?
Atmosphere – dress code was out the door here. People came in whatever.

My wife and I came to Ruth’s Chris to celebrate our 23th wedding anniversary. The restaurant and server Amy was awesome!!!! Everyone was super friendly and attentive. We had the Tomahawk steak which was the best steak we had in a very long time. If you have a special occasion or just want some good food please visit them. 5 stars

We had dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steak House and overall had a really nice experience. The food was well-prepared and flavorful — the steak was cooked perfectly and very tender, and the shrimp cocktail was fresh and nicely presented. The sides were generous, especially the mashed potatoes and baked potato, though the bread was a bit underwhelming.
The atmosphere was elegant and calm, perfect for a relaxed evening, and the lighting added a cozy touch. Service was attentive and professional, though it felt slightly rushed at times. Prices are definitely on the higher end, but you can tell it’s meant to be a fine dining experience.
Overall, it’s a great spot for a special occasion or a nice night out — quality food and a classic steakhouse vibe.

On, Saturday, August 2nd we had a great experience at Ruth Chris. We had a reservation at 4 PM and we were seated immediately by the Hostess. The atmosphere was really great and a beautiful restaurant. Mika our server was very helpful and courteous and friendly going over the menu for drinks and food. We also met the manager, Joseph, who was very courteous and friendly. He made sure that everything was OK and that we were taken care of. I want to mention the other servers as well who was very courteous and friendly Vari, Amilcar. The drink, I ordered was the Blueberry Mojito. It was so good. We ordered the 16 oz New York Strip Steak, Potatoes Au Gratin and Asparagus. Dessert. Small Cheesecake. I will definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for some delicious food we will definitely be back.

Yates was our waiter, and I have to say he was so good. When asked what he recommended, he told us he loves the Chicken dish. We ordered it and it was to die for, so delicious. This was our first experience at a Ruth Chris and we will definitely go again.
Our drinks was equally delicious. Old Fashion and Lemon drop.
Yates had a great personality was very friendly and super nice. He is what you want in a waiter, when you have never been before, to be told what is favorite dishes to try is a great thing .

Absolutely amazing!
There are no words to describe how well they made us feel yesterday.
First: the gral manager opened the door and let me check the menu hours in advance for a reservation I had.
Server: China was beyond extraordinary. Thanks young lady for your words, patience, and service.
Juan: he was very friendly. We knows Hispanics people don’t dine too much in these high end restaurants. We noticed we had the customer service in his veins.
Food: oMG- food was delicious, good portions, whatever need to be cold was cold, and what need to be hot stayed hot!
Dessert: crème brûlée: maybe less brown sugar or better use white sugar since it is thinner so it can melt and hace the burnt coated layer . But flavor was incredible, just that.
Everything was great, on point, a PRISTINE service.
Gracias x todo! Nos hicieron sentir muy cómodas.
