    The food was delicious, the steak wasn’t cooked evenly but it was a huge 40oz tomahawk that still had amazing flavor. The edges were more medium-medium well but the rest was perfect medium rare. My party was pleased!

    Best Steakhouse & Luxury Dining Experience in town. After researching all the St. Petersburg steakhouses in advance, our actual experience there proved it is the absolute best ... for family, business people and couples who want ... a luxury quiet conversational environment, ... superior aged and pefectly cooked delicious steaks or seafood, ... impeccable service without intrusions professional waiters, ... reasonable prices for extremely large portions e.g 16 oz ribeye or sirloin feeds two people. Side dishes are best anywhere. Salads so cold and crisp with just the right toppings. My 80 year old brother said the bread pudding was the best he ever ate in his life and he is a dessert connoisseur. There were 6 of us aged 26 to 80. Alcohol drinks are top notch served in beautiful glasses. My prime ribeye was as good as I ever had anywhere in the world and I am a world traveler. Free convenient Valet parking was a bonus. Other dishes ordered were filet steaks, lobster tail, and T-bone steak with 4 side dishes served family style. Server asked us each to cut into our steaks to ensure they were cooked to our desired doneness. I never had a restaurant ask that in by 78 years of dining out. Good example of their Ruth's Chris standards of quality and customer service. So if you want the best of the best restaurant exoerience with those goals, make your reservations here.
