Ruth's Chris Steak House

David Ginther

Took my dad here to celebrate his 70th birthday and the memories will last forever. Everything was amazing, all the way around. Service was excellent, drinks were phenomenal and the food was some of the best I have ever had. Is it expensive? Sure. Is it worth it for special occasions? Absolutely, my new go to place for special occasions.

My wife and I drove 2 hours from the Bay Area for a much anticipated dining experience at this restaurant. We saw the reviews online and it seemed like a serious place on the high-end side of prices, so we made a reservation. I believe first impressions are so important, and they last well beyond that moment. Once we arrived we went upstairs and unfortunately we didn’t experienced that cordial and courteous welcome from the receptionists. One of them simply verified last name and told us to wait on the side, just like in your typical DMV appointment. No hello, no smiles, and a bit of attitude. Not a good way to start creating a memorable and enjoyable dining experience for customers. Smiling is a winner when it comes to great first impressions, and it’s so easy to deliver as an employee. You just need to be a people person and do your very best to make sure customers walking into the restaurant environment feel that warmth and hospitality, especially when you know they're going to spend money at the restaurant. This is not charity. Anyways, moving on to our waiter. His name was Joseph. We liked him, but there's room for improvement. I had the impression that the restaurant was understaffed which, in one way or another, shows in the quality of service the restaurant provides, and that includes waiters and waiting-time. To the food now. We ordered some appetizers, and I must say the lobster bisque was horrible. I’m not a lobster expert by any means, but perhaps try adding more lobster meat and less of that watery broth to get that rich and thick soup creamy texture. Just an idea for the chef. I asked Joseph if I could order American Wagyu beef, and he kindly explained to us that the restaurant offered steaks and other cuts of beef from the Midwest, but not Wagyu. Fair enough. My wife ordered the filet, nothing exceptional but satisfying, and I ordered the ribeye for $66. Now, this ribeye steak was no doubt the worst piece of meat I’ve ever had. And this is probably an understatement. Chewy, extremely fatty, poor quality, awful taste, almost inedible. This thing was so bad that I had to stop halfway through because I just couldn’t eat it. Half the plate was covered with fat. Joseph, our waiter, eventually came back to ask us how was everything so far, and I told him about all the fat in the ribeye, to what he replied: “Hey, this is where the flavor is my friend”. Geez Joseph, maybe if you’re reading this review you now understand my tip. It reflects what we experienced that day in the restaurant you work for. Not entirely your fault because you probably have nothing to do with the process of selecting and preparing the beef the restaurant serve, including the grade and overall cattle quality. The owners or maybe management should raise the standards because you can get better high-end cuts in Costco, probably at Safeway too. I think that the least you can do as our waiter if you want to make it rights for customers, is to take the plate away from me and show it to the kitchen. It’s a disgrace, and if anyone reading this doesn’t believe me, check the photos in the review to get an idea. We asked to get the rest of food to go, and Joseph added not just the other half of the stake, but also all the fat he believes tastes delicious. This story ended up with us throwing it in the garbage. It was inedible. We are so disappointed with this experience. Never again. P.S: The bread was hard, and dry, and cold. You can get better bread just about anywhere.

Very delicious, had Ruth's favorite 11oz filet made just right! Wish there were more asparagus with the Oscar style crab cake add on. The baked potato was over priced!

It was a marvelous experience! My server Jillian was Awesome! She was fast and accurate with her service. The food is way worth it. The view is beautiful if you sit by the windows that look down into the beautiful scenery of Walnut Creek. 😊. This restaurant is great to take your wife or your girlfriend to for an anniversary. Well hope you enjoy!🙏🏼
