Ruth's Chris Steak House

My son invited me for a special dinner and wow what a surprise. The food was delicious, the best filet I ever ate and the brussel sprouts were amazing on top of that my drink was the best blueberry mojito my favorite drink from now on.
And the dessert was fabulous.

If I can give the place 10 stars I will...

The service was wonderful Cora made sure we had everything and explained the menu and best options. The chef came out to ask if everything was up to my taste. Everyone was very welcoming and sweet.

The Restaurant is extremely proper and super clean everywhere you look. Love the decor on the walls, ceiling and the roses is such a touch.

My first time visiting the restaurant and for sure won't be the last.

Recommended it...

I love Ruth's Chris. My aunt took me and my mom out for an early Mother's Day dinner. We dined in the bar area for happy hour and had a great time. I have not been to this location for happy hour since COVID. The ambiance, food, and service were superb. The food was tasty as usual and filled with love. I Highly recommend this location for happy hour and dinner.

Note: Their pomegranate and lemon martinis are delicious and filled with a nice amount of alcohol

The food is amazing. We started with the crab cake appetizer which were the best we have ever had - pure crab. We ordered the petite filet mignon and rib eye steaks - both seasoned and cooked to perfection. The lobster tails were out of this world fantastic. We had the mushrooms & creamed spinach for sides which were very flavorful. Our leftovers were great the next day.

The service is attentive and friendly.

Ruth's Chris has been and continues to be our favorite steakhouse in Pasadena.

Fantastic service that made us have a very sophisticated experience. High price point; the sides were sold separately from the steaks but were very delicious. The steaks were amazingly tender. They were seasoned with sea salt and pepper and served with butter and parsley. We were offered chocolate lava cake as a special. It came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a rich, silky chocolate pudding. The chocolate sin cake was almost like a chunk of semi sweet dark chocolate ganache. We were also given a small cheesecake for the birthday girl as well as for Mother's Day. The bathrooms were structurally elegant but unkept. They had mouthwash by the sinks and their paper towels were so high quality that they felt like fabric. Ruth's is a fantastic place for special occasions.

Here for my birthday and had a good time!
The table was set up with happy birthday confetti and the menu also says happy birthday which was pretty detailed.
Our waiter (sorry I forgot his name) was very friendly and helpful, he recommended a couple dishes and they were all good. At the end, they also gave me a happy birthday dessert :)
The whole dining room was pretty dark and they have a LED candle on each table, I wish the candle can be brighter, kinda too dark for me.

* I've reviewed previously for the Steak Sandwich (delish) and Spicy Shrimp(deep fried, average flavor)
Ordered Steak Sandwich again, it's still good!
Service is nice @ the bar.

Got to give a shout-out to Wally. He was an amazing server for the night and was personable throughout the whole experience.

Parking: After 6 pm, parking on the side streets in front of the meters is free. Or you can park in the Big Colorado parking structure but there is a parking fee.

Chef's special:

Lobster Bisque would not recommend it. Kinda tasted more metallic than seafood.

House Salad sauce was light and the greens were fresh and cripsy. Would recommend as a starter because the dessert and entree will fill you up.

Lobster and Steak 6 oz (medium rare) side was mushrooms. The steak was cooked and seasoned well. The lobster tail was also cooked perfectly. There was a heaping portion of mushrooms for a side dish.

Tip: You can switch out the sides for an alternative but it will be a $5 charge. You however won't be able to order the lobster Mac and cheese side.

Shrimp and Steak 6 oz (medium rare) side was Brussels sprouts. There were 3 jumbo shrimps and they were so juicy. Brussels sprouts were more on the mushy side not the crispy kind but still good.

Cheesecake: One of the best cheesecakes I have ever had! The presentation looks different from a regular cheesecake because the interior looks more like pudding than a dense cheesecake. But holy moly was it good, the texture was light and airy.

We came with gift cards and the total for 2 is about $200 plus including tip.
Nothing extra special in regards to food, the steak was good the sides were blandish. The dessert and service was excellent and the personalized menus were a beautiful touch. Great for a one time date, let them know it's a special occasion. But if you want some bomb food for a larger group of people this isn't the place.

Dined here with a gift card we received but left extremely unsatisfied with everything we had ordered. Service was great though. We ordered the ribeye, sea bass, and mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach as sides. Sides were what we expected. The sea bass was way too fatty/firm - we weren't big fans of this type of cut.

I probably won't ever be back knowing the same amount of money can be spent better elsewhere.

Came in to Ruth's Chris for a date. We got there right when it opened up at 4pm. We ordered Calamari as an appetizer (not pictured) which was delicious. Also, we Lobster Bisque soup which was delicious. I'm not a seafood person but this tasted good to me.

For main appetizer we order Filet Mignon and also Ribeye with Shrimp. The cuts were very flavorful and delicious! This is the second time I have the Filet Mignon and it doesn't disappoint. As a side we got the asparagus and it was delicious.

For dessert I don't think we got the right one as it was the flourless sin chocolate cake. It's definitely thick and chocolaty but won't order again for sure.

The service was great. Our server Jessica was very attentive and friendly. Definitely a highlight. Also the manager came to check in on the food and service which caught us a little off guard but it was nice to see management checking in.

The food was worth the triple digits.
