    We loved the food and the ambiance. Our server, Christine, was beyond fantastic. We enjoyed the steaks. Cooked to perfection. The cream spinach, mushrooms and has browns were all delectable. No room for dessert

    We asked for a quiet booth, and we were seated at a fairly quiet one, allowing us to converse easily with each other. Wilton was our waiter; he gave excellent service! We started with cocktails and the seared ahi tuna appetizer and enjoyed both. The tuna was seared perfectly, and we enjoyed the sauce and cucumber ginger salad it came with. We then ordered one Caesar salad to split - one salad order is huge! Yummy with a little fresh ground pepper added. We ordered our steaks then with a side of mushrooms plus a glass of red wine each. My petite filet was cooked perfectly to a medium rare and tasted delicious with the added lobster tail. My friend’s New York Strip steak was cooked to a medium/medium well after he asked for medium rare, but he enjoyed it anyway, did not want to send back. Wilton advised me on what cab was the driest of the wines by the glass, and I was very happy with his recommendation. We finished up with coffee for me and a piece of the sinful chocolate dessert for my friend; he loved it! When we want a quiet, delicious meal out together, we opt for Ruth’s Chris and are not disappointed!
