    We have two private dining rooms that are the perfect place to host any event, from an intimate family gathering to a large company party. The Essex room is for more moderately sized parties, and can easily accommodate groups of up to 25 guests. The Miller room is for more substantially sized parties, and is able to accommodate groups of up to 40 guests. If neither room is sufficiently sized to hold your event on its own, the collapsible wall that separates them can be stowed away, and this extended space will accommodate up to 65 guests. The 80 inch HD TVs located behind sliding walls in each room are ideal for any presentation needs you may have. Call or visit https://www.ruthschris.com/private-events/ to inquire about availability.

    Excellent service. Friendly host, helpful server. Only blight was calamari appetizer was greasy and heavily breaded. Steak tender, sides of spinach and masked both excellent. Fruit/cheesecake dessert very good. Value for a nice steakhouse was fair. Would return.

    Wait time was good - seated quickly. The food and drinks weren’t that great. Service was slow. Probably won’t be returning.

    Prisoner wine tasting event was fantastic! Food was prepared well and paired excellently with the wine!! I would highly recommend! Only drawback was communal tables. Go back to building table settings as per reservations.
