Ruth's Chris Steak House - Charleston

I had never heard of ruth until my daughter bought a gift card for my wife and I bought. she sent a $150 card that deserts our meal and an additional to bring home. I was a bit skeptical when I discovered it was a chain restaurant, but was hopeful. all I can say is that I am glad I didn't have to pay for the meal. eating was at best mediocre. I had a ribey and kartoffel. the steak was cooked as ordered and was in order. I'm still not sure if they weren't ready. very inspiring meal. my wife had a filet and she likes her flesh well done, so it is not surprising that her steak was not very tender. but she had filets on other places that were amazing, also well cooked. I will not waste time on eating. ridicully overpriced. we ate in the bar because the dining room had only one server that was overwhelmed with some tables. that is, it turned out that it is a completely quiet environment for both of us with a eckish and only a few other people in the bar. and the barkeeper was on the point with service and very friendly. the young man who brought our food made me almost loud when he tried to find out how to pick up the hot plates from the servier floor with a cloth serviette. he looked like he never served. Maybe he didn't. all in all, $180 for two including tipp had scratched my head and wondering why someone would go back there. remember, it was quite empty. I just thought it was because it was a Wednesday night, and it was a fairy tale.

My family came here to celebrate my parents 36th high-time day 2/29. there was a present on the table for my parents when we arrived. our waitress was wonderful and also met my parents' anniversary. it was great to celebrate with my parents on their exact high-time day on this wonderful place.

We did not get seated for almost 40 minutes after our reservation time. Not sure why but it looked as if they were short wait staff for the peak dining period. Bar staff took care of us in the meantime. My dinner was great and cooked perfectly —-the New York Strip. My wife ordered the tournedos of beef topped with shrimp. The shrimp and beef were as dry as could be. Not good and obviously not something to enjoy. Once we did finally get seated, our waiter was absolutely great but know the restaurant at that point had started emptying out—-as were the last to leave the restaurant.

Very pleasant experience, waiter and trainee were very attentive, informative and added to the experience. Need to state on menu which items are cooked in bacon grease or pork products!!!

As always it was a pleasure dining At Ruth’s Chris. We had friends from out of town and it was their first time eating there and they loved it.
