    My brother took me to a late dinner to cheer me up after saying goodbye to One of my rescue dogs today. It was a nice late night dinner. Excellent service as always. Try the spicy shrimp app. I had the tbone and he had the cowboy rib eye --delicious. They made a great penicillin too. For desert I had the creme brulee and he had an Espresso martini

    First time patrons looking for a night out without our children. My wife decided to check this place out and I agreed. She 15 weeks pregnant and usually won't partake in seafood. Our server Destiny was delightful and happy to recommend items, and I was not disappointed. We had Spicy shrimp and stuffed mushrooms as appetizers. My wife ate all the shrimp and proceeded to order the steak and lobster. DEFINITELY worth your while to check out. Will be back regularly

    4.5 stars rounded up. Came here for a date night with the boyfriend on a Thursday night for dinner. There is valet, street parking and a parking garage across the street. To start, they bring you some bread and butter. Sounds silly but this was the best bread I've had. It was so perfectly made. Crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside, perfectly complimented with the airy, fluffy butter. We ended up have 2.5 loaves And took half of one home. HAHAH. Drink They have SO many yummy cocktails on the menu. I ordered the pomegranate martini with Tito's, cointreau, pomegranate and cranberry. I love fruity & sweet so this drink checked all my boxes! Entrees - Filet mignon 11 oz. Medium-well. This was PERFECTLY grilled. Sooooo juicy and blast of flavor with each bite. Just completely melted in your mouth with how tender it was. - Ribeye 16 oz medium-well. This was over cooked slightly but I ate it anyway. Was a bit more tough than I would have liked but the flavor was still good. Not as juicy. Truffle Lobster Mac & cheese $25 The portion was HUGE. The crumbs at the top added such a nice texture. There was a generous amount of lobster in it. Good flavor, not too salty, maybe could have used more cheese. Sides -Garlic mashed potatoes. Veryyyy smooth and creamy (which is literally the description) Perfect side to accompany steak. -Roasted brussel sprouts with bacon & honey. This could've used a bit more time in the oven. They were still pretty hard. But loved the flavor and bacon bits! Service was exceptional. Incredibly attentive. The servers checked in on us perfect amount of times and made sure empty plates were cleared asap & glasses were always filled with water. Our server even gave us vanilla icecream on the house for my drink being delayed (or forgotten).

    It's good, consistent, but not mind blowing. The ambiance is similar to most other steak vibes - dark, a bit sultry. The servers are delightful and clearly working hard. It was a busy night so our drinks were often empty for long periods of time. That's a pet peeve of mine, so if that isn't your thing, the service was fantastic. Obviously, they're known for their steaks, and they definitely delivered there. The steaks actually are a solid 5 stars. The sides were tasty, but not earth shattering, and the same with the seafood and dessert. It was very upper middle of the road.

    We want there for my dad and my sister in law's birthday respectively. This is one of the best steakhouses I have ever been to. The steak and the food at Ruth's Chris was at the top. We have an amazing time. Family oriented. We were at the private room seated for 8 people. Our experience was absolutely perfect. Great staff, high class food, family friendly. Highly recommended for an incredible experience at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse thanks in part of vision and legacy of Ruth Fertel, the steakhouse founder.

    Took an hour+ to send out an overcooked $78 ribeye, then they took another 20 minutes to send out a raw one to replace it. Huge disappointment. Minor, but the table's led candle was off when we came in, then died during the meal. The table itself was less stable than my ex-girlfriend. Felt like I was dining during the Northridge quake. For someone that rarely goes out to dine these days, this reminded me why.

    Love Ruth Chris. The staff is amazing. The food is always great. I think they need to add more choices app wise. We’re not seafood people, so not a whole lot there for us. I also think the desserts need a little revamping. All and all one of my favorite places to have a steak.

    My husband and I went to Ruth Chris for our 25th anniversary and finally our favorite cut T-bone and the banana cream pie were brought to the menu and it was cook to perfection. The restaurant even cook the lyoness potatoes for us (not currently in the menu). Claudia our waiter was amazing, attentive, it was a really nice evening. Everything was perfect and scrumptious! ♥️

    Our first time coming here and we were not disappointed. My wife brought me here for my birthday and was greeted and treated like royalty. Our waitress was very nice and attentive to us ( I think her name was Julia). The food was delicious, we ordered the prime rib with Au Gratin potatoes and asparagus as our sides. I will definitely come back again.

    Jason!!! That's first because Jason was our server and he was phenomenal!! Extremely attentive, friendly, and just a great guy. You can tell he loves what he does and he's superb at it so it made the experience that much more memorable and enjoyable. Next, the food was so delicious as always. The garlic-crusted sea bass was incredible. Never had it before and it was a great option. The sweet potato casserole never disappoints. The spicy shrimp appetizer was so, so good too along withthe crab cakes and BBQ Shrimp! Outstanding food, Exceptional service. Ten stars!!

    We were there to celebrate our anniversary! They treated us so well. Everyone was really nice. The few extra touches to our experience was fun! The food was amazing and the service excellent. We loved our evening!

  • 4/5 Nadja L. 2 years ago on Google
    Some great food items. Service was good. Spicy shrimp appetizer was great. Overall, way too expensive...good food but overpriced!

  • 5/5 Diana B. 2 years ago on Google
    Our server Hiba went above and beyond to make this an amazing experience! Very professional and respectful!!! We definitely felt comfortable welcomed here !!!!! Our food was fabulous, our steak was soo good but we ate too much so we took dessert to go! This is a wonderful place for anniversary or a night out with friends. Came here with my partner for our anniversary. The confetti and the writing “happy anniversary “ on the menu was just the cherry on top . The manager Ryan was so inviting!!! Luis was great too! My food recommendations is order the BEEF CARPACCIO as a appetizer and order the cheesy potatoes 🥔!!!!!!! Most of all be ready to have an amazing experience!!!! I want to come back already 😋

    It's not the best place if you're a vegetarian, I had to be here with the group for a work event. The sweet potato casserole itself may be worth it. Asparagus was good. Friendly service $10 Vallet parking in front. Great place if you're not a vegetarian, great place to bring a date.

    Valet is 14.00 parking is difficult if you don't valet. It's packed on a Saturday I had reservations but still had to wait 15 mins. Our waiter was Jorge, he was awesome, the food was 100/10 I got the fish and shrimp 10/10 was $50.00 comes with a butter sauce and a little fresh spinach the sweet potatoes and pecan BOMB 10/10 very sweet like dessert two people can share it , it was $15 , we were served bread before the food. The calarmi (chefs kiss 💋) it was made with a chili tomato sauce really good 👍. It's worth it

    Víctor was our server and he was the absolute best! Not only did they provide a private room for us due to having a small child, they were very attentive with us! Food was great and server was amazing! 10/10!!! Also, the petite fillet may look pretty small, but TRUST ME. It is very filling!

  • 5/5 Jackie G. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is superb, drinks are always good. I recommend the pomegranate martini, blueberry mojito, and whatever you have for dessert get an espresso martini with it. Appetizers I recommend are calamari and spicy shrimp. Any of the entrees you order is always delicious. For dessert we had the banana cream pie, and creme brulee which is always delicious. Wish I took more photos but added a few.

    The bar top where I was seated was sticky with food residue from the previous guest (ewww!) The tvs were muted, of course, but the captions weren't turned on so it was impossible to follow what was on the screens. Other than that, I had a fabulous time. Scott the manager and Aaron the bartender were warm and welcoming. The atmosphere felt simultaneously upscale yet relaxed. The food looked great and tasted even better. The house bread is perfection. I'll be back!

    I expect food can be better. Lobster Bisque is very salty. Kind of disappointed. My friend order a rare steak but came out a medium rare. Had the waiter replaced another one. Two waiters served us. One was so friendly and the other was so cool with limited smile... Well! We took advantage of buying over $300 and get 10% off. It's sweet to put my friend 's name in the menu for her birthday plus a complimentary birthday sliced cake.

  • 5/5 Elisse R. 8 months ago on Google
    Service was amazing, steak was good, plate was really hot. Should have ordered medium rare instead of medium. But nonetheless, rib eye is always a good cut and creamy spinach too! We were given desserts to celebrate a special occasion and a mix up of the steak during serving.

    First time dinning at Ruth’s Chris steakhouse for a birthday celebrated. Food was amazing and our waiter Victor was the best!! He was so friendly and recommended some delicious food!

  • 5/5 Moses S. 3 months ago on Google New
    Garey was an exceptional waiter. Made great recommendations such as the sea bass, was patient while we ordered, and overall made the night a pleasant experience. I do not frequent steakhouses but I am glad we did our anniversary here, thank you to everyone that night.

    Never disappoints!!! Last time I was at a Ruth’s was some time ago and now that I finally went back, the meal was excellent. I had the 8oz filet and it was perfectly cooked (medium rare of course) and it was as tender and flavorful as I remember it the last time. Used to go quiet a bit when I lived in north Texas and this is my first time to the one in Pasadena, CA and I’m really pleased that the quality and service is the same. I will definitely add it to my steakhouse “rotation” once again!!

    We have twice a year birthday celebrations here and they do a nice service. The servers went out of their way to help us celebrate. The Porterhouse is an excellent steak, cooked exactly as ordered. The side spinach was the only disappointment and the waiter deducted it from the bill without being asked.
