Truly the best filet I have ever had. Lobster tail perfectly seasoned. Rib eye was good, but thin. Plan on $100.00 + per person.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at this restaurant. The service was top notch and the food was very well presented and cooked. If you are looking for a little bit of luxury at a reasonable price I would highly recommend this great restaurant.

The quality of the food and service was top notch! The ambiance is a bit stuffy and conservative and the prices are high. The menu is limited especially if you aren't a huge meat eater. Excellent for those seeking excellent steak-cooked to perfection -the flavour was amazing!

We have been to many Ruth Chris restaurants and must say we were disappointed in both the Lahaina & Wailea locations. The food was not very good and very costly. Both times we did not have the best wait staff we expected at a Ruth Chris. I would say skip this restaurant..

If you want a consistently good steak, this restaurant is for you. The service is excellent, unfortunately it does not have any of the island feel about it, being situated in the Wailea Shops.

Only the 2nd Ruth's Chris I've been to, but left the same impression - great food and atmosphere as long as you don't mind the price. My only critical comment is the service was poor until our main waiter took over and did a great job. Probably still the best steak I've had.

Prices are very high (is this the reason why they don't show them on the Internet?) and don't meet the served quality. Steaks start with over 40$ without any sides and are of a poor quality. Service is very ineffizient - we waited for more than 30 minutes for our dishes after ordering. The waitress didn't really care and wasn't... More

Two couples went out for a steak dinner. Reservations easy to make online. The place is busy but not pressured. I was expecting an expensive dinner, but I was flabbergasted at the prices here. The steaks were certainly delicious, but a baked potato shouldn't cost $10. Every single side dish here has a huge price tag, and the meal is... More

The food was much below average for a Ruth's Chris. I have been to many of their locations and normally enjoy it. This particular location is in the Wailea shops, there were lots of kids there. The quality of the steak was really poor, the baked potato was dry and the service was slow. We will not return. For steaks,... More

Ruth's Chris is pricey, but it puts out some of the best steaks I have eaten. I like my petite filet black and blue, which is seared and raw inside, and Ruth's Chris gets it right every time. Add the blue cheese crust and mmmm decadence. Everything is a la carte, so veggies and potatoes are ordered separately, but these... More
