Let me start this review with a statement. Ruths Chris steakhouse(yes that's the correct spelling) is one of top two or three steakhouses in central Florida. The only gripe I have with Ruths Chris is that most of the side dishes that normally accompany an entree like potato or salad or veggy, whether it's a Denny's or a high end... More

Well, wife and I were trying to decide where to go for our 30th anniversarry. I called up to make reservations and let them know what the occasion was. I was told they would do something special. To me it seemed as if it was a canned presentation. Service was mediocre at best. Food as usual was very good, just... More

First time here. We were told many times that this is one of the best places you can go to in the Tampa Bay area for a steak. The service was excellent. Carlos did a phenomenal job, the best service we had ever had. The manager, Jim, came to our table and we had a great conversation. Atmosphere was very... More

I cannot believe the service my Fiancé and I received tonight! Let me just start off by saying, making reservations doesn't do you any justice! We waited 10 mins before we were seated! We didnt really think anything of it because it seemed that they had just received a huge rush! But whoa, were we in for a rude awakening!... More

We sent our steaks back twice and they were not right. On the way out we spoke to the manager who coldly said well will do better next time. I did not tell him that there will be no next time. In Baltimore this restaurant is excellent.
