My partner said the steak here was the best he has ever had. I had the BBQ shrimp and it was amazing! Service was great and cocktails were amazing.

Just had the WORST dining experience ever. My dad ordered a petite filet with lobster. The lobster was dry and overcooked. His steak was undercooked. I ordered the bone-in cowboy ribeye. My steak was completely undercooked. It was just raw meat. The fat was still white and not even translucent. Check out picture. I had about 10 bites then stopped eating it. When the busboy came to clear our table, he asked if we wanted to take anything home. I said everything, since we had half a baked potato, my steak, my dads steak and some asparagus left. He threw everything out!!! WHATANIDIOT!!! The only good thing was they brought out a table side flambé if strawberries with chocolate sauce and ice cream. This is my second time eating here and both times they messed up my order. Needless to say, i will never return

I decided to come back here to celebrate my husband’s birthday because the steak is, in my opinion, one of the best on the island, and on top of that, customer service is THEBEST. However, I was quite disappointed with the quality of the food. =\ we normally enjoy their steak, but this time around I felt that the quality of the steak was just average… –APPETIZERS– Rockafeller Oysters 4⁄5(oysters could be more meaty) Lobster Mac ‘N Cheese 10⁄5 — EVERYONEMUSTORDER! I love cheese, especially Mac n cheese! –SIDES– Mushrooms 3.5÷5(too salty for my liking) Asparagus 4⁄5(includes a sauce but not too sure what kind of sauce) Rice −1÷5(some parts were hard and mushy! Such a disappointment, considering it was fine dining and $ 6) –STEAK– Filet mignon 3.5÷5: I ordered it medium rare, but it was dry & too chewy Rib Eye 4⁄5: too salty for some odd reason Overall, PAM, our waitress, was very engaging, upbeat, and attentive throughout the night. They waived my corkage fee(Yes, you can BYOW just make sure you bring a wine that’s not on their menu). Note: it seems on a special occasion they give you $ 20 gift card to use on your next visit!

Again this year we went to Ruth’s Chris in Waikiki for our anniversary. We had another great experience with delicious food and excellent service. It looks like many of the same team members and managers year after year creating a consistent and memorable fine dining experience. My filet and lobster tail were awesome! My wife had the lamb chops that were perfectly prepared and delicious. The sides, soup, salad, dessert, wine, and complimentary champagne & strawberries were all excellent! Brandon took great care of us and both managers stopped by the table to wish us a happy anniversary. Beautiful restaurant and a great meal!

Stopped in for bar service and it didn’t disappoint. Flaming Oysters Rockefeller was a great presentation. The oyster lacked the meatiness I would expected from such high end restaurant. Yes it’s pricey but it’s Ruth Chris. I don’t have any of the steaks but they looked very good all around me. The highlight was the conversations around me. Everyone complimented the people of Oahu. I agree some of the nicest people on the planet. Aloha spirit abound. Check it out for a hot visitors date you will not be disappointed. Aloha Great Bartenders but where is the Ocean Vodka for those martinis?

This was my first time to Ruth’s Chris. I really enjoyed it, more than the steakhouse in the next shopping center. The filet was tender and cooked to perfection. The early bird special is an amazing deal. Our server was also helpful with our orders. I will be back.

This was my first time at Ruth Chris. I’ve eaten at other comparable steakhouses around Honolulu and wanted to add this restaurant to my list. Our servers, Hui and Ezekiel, were friendly and personable; engaging in conversation with our table. In my opinion service was great, but according to the rest of the party– wasn’t as good as the last time they were here. Our water glass was never less than half full and the plates came out sizzling hot. The manager was walking around and asked how we were doing, if we were enjoying our meal, etc. He even refilled our coffee. We ordered –Lamb Chops: medium rare with mint jelly on the side. Crust was perfectly seasoned and tasted amazing. Even without the mint there was no gaminess, that most people dislike about eating lamb. –Rib Eye: medium rare, 16oz of juicy steak with the perfect amount of marbling. –Southwest Mac & Cheese: SODELICIOUS and no longer on the menu, but still served when requested. It was replaced by the«Lobster Mac & Cheese,» which I plan on trying the next time. –Potatoes Au Gratin: sliced potatoes baked and topped with cheese sauce. –French Fries: hand-cut and seasoned. Not my typical«side» at a steakhouse, but they were crispy and addicting. –Mango Sorbet: made with fresh mango. It was very light and refreshing, a nice way to cleanse the palate after our meal. –Hot Fudge Sundae: vanilla ice cream topped with hot fudge and chopped macadamia nuts. It normally comes with whipped cream, but we ordered without. –Flaming Strawberries: caramel and Bacardi 151 drizzled atop strawberries and lit, to cook off the alcohol. Atmosphere was louder than I had expected, but it may be based on location. I still thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The complimentary dessert, birthday card and coupon were thoughtful and made the experience a memorable one.

Never been a blogger until I went to Ruths Chris. After going here, I had to let everyone know about my experience. Celebrated my 1 year anniversary here and I must say, I was not disappointed. Made a reservation and was greeted warmly by each staff member with Happy Anniversary. Gladys the manager upgraded us to a booth to have more room and table space. On top of the beautiful rose pedal décor, she also gave us a complimentary appetizer. Calamari is a must when coming here. Everyone really treated us well for our first time. Keola our server was great in giving us detailed info on our food menu and recommendations. I did my research on their steak and they lived up to their reputation. Ribeye was very juicy and cooked to perfection. By the end of our meals, we were given a nice chocolate covered strawberries dessert(my description doesn’t do it justice) with a Happy Anniversary card personally signed by Gladys and her staff. Overall, my lady and I were very pleased and look forward to celebrating more special occasions here. If you’re looking for a place to take your special someone, Ruth’s Chris is where it’s at.

Overall, this was a pleasurable dining experience with a few minor imperfections. To start, the service was very polite and professional. I had the Oysters Rockefeller for an appetizer, the presentation was awesome — it came out on fire. The rib eye was delicious, perfectly cooked and marbleized. Great flavor! The waiter even brought out flaming chocolate strawberries for the hell of it at the end of the meal :) The minor imperfections included a menu with heavily ripped edges, along with a woven place mat that was fraying pretty badly. Additionally, my fries came out slightly cold. While these faults were minor, they are not things you expect to see from a restaurant where you’re paying upwards of $ 100 per person.

My husband and I decided to try Ruth’s in Waikiki on Presidents Day and were NOT disappointed! Neither of us have dined here prior so we were very pleased to have James as our server. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and made some excellent recommendations. I work at Morton’s and have high standards for service in these environments and James passed my «test» with flying colors! We started our meal with the blue crab cake appetizer that was delightful. Nice way to start a meal! The bread on the table wasn’t impressive imo but who’s coming here for bread anyway? NEXT: Our cocktails were PERFECT. I had a lychee-flavored martini that was to DIE for and my husband enjoyed the specialty cocktail with Patron. I must also add that every course was perfectly timed and there was very little lag. On to the«main event» For dinner, I took James’ recommendation and indulged in the barbecue shrimp which consisted of seven HUGE prawns and a small portion of mashed potatoes in a DECADENT sauce with just the right amount of spice. My husband went with the T Bone steak that was cooked to medium rare and had excellent marbling. Very very good! For sides, we chose potatoes au gratin and grilled asparagus with a VERY tasty hollandaise. Both were wonderful. For dessert, we were brought a complimentary plate of flaming strawberries drizzled in chocolate and caramel. My husband wasn’t as fond of this as I was so I had to suffer through it alone(; He instead chose a generous and sinful mud pie that was the best possible way to end our experience. We were also presented a $ 20 gift certificate towards our next meal and I can say with confidence that we will be back! Mahalo for a truly wonderful meal and great service from all!

I made reservations for my bfs birthday a month ahead and last mintue had to push it back one hour which didn’t seem to be a problem with the woman who took my info down. Upon arrival, we were told since we arrived a little early to wait for a clean table. There is no waiting area aside from standing in front of somebody’s table, the door or in front of the escalator so this made our wait seem longer than it was. We waited about 20 mintues before being greeted and got a table. When we got in, our server Makani got us started with water, complimentary bread and went over the menu. He was very attentive and made sure everything we wanted, we got it. I ordered the crab cakes and my bf had the ribeye which we both thought was the most amazing piece of steak and that crab was so succulent and both were perfectly served on a hot sizzling plate! It was happy hour so we got soup, appetizer, salad, 2 main entrees, and 2 desserts for just about $ 100. The local hospitality and amazing customer service made me love the place even more after having one of the best tasting meals I’ve experienced! Aside from the wait and parking validation rules, Ruth Chris has got to be one of the best places for a perfect steak and amazing dining service!!!

So, so disappointing. I’ve wanted to try this place out forever. My husband is obsessed with Morton’s Steakhouse and wouldn’t really budge. Finally, I convinced him to try it last night… Boy was that a mistake. The night started of well with some great service from the hostess… Unfortunately, great service ended at her. I’ll spare you the boring details of our dinner and get to where it all went wrong… I ordered crab cakes(as my dinner) and my husband the filet. Bear in mind, these are $ 35 crab cakes and a $ 55(teeny-tiny) filet… The filet was mundane. Well cooked as far as texture, but no flavor. I felt sorry that I convinced my husband to go here over Morton’s because the steak just wasn’t comparable to Morton’s. The crab cakes were absolutely tasteless. I asked our waiter, Brian, for a sauce, anything to compliment the dish. I explained I was really disappointed but I didn’t want to cause a big thing by sending it back… I said don’t worry about doing all of that, can you just bring out a sauce of some sort. Brian suggested something and then said he’ll go ask the chef for his recommendation… The next time we see Brian is when my husband is done eating his steak and mashed potatoes and when the busboy has cleared the table AND offered to package my entire dinner since I didn’t touch it. Brian literally avoids our table. I see him check on his other tables right by us. He finally comes back and tries to act like nothing happened. I ask«so whatever happened to the sauce?» The service and food here aren’t what I expected from an almost 5-star steakhouse. Brian left us with a Valentine’s Day voucher for $ 20 off our next visit… We left it right there for Brian. We don’t think Morton’s will accept it anyway.

I created a Unilocal!account just to review my dinner the other night. My husband and I dined here on advice of a friend. We recently moved to the island. We were greeted by the hostesses immediately, and sat promptly. I was reading several negative reviews of the hostesses, and after the behavior of some of the irate guests at ridiculous things like being seated outside(that’s why you make a reservation), their responses are entirely appropriate and professional. It is true that the environment is a little noisy. It’s close quarters. Our food was superb; Porterhouse(medium rare) and grilled asparagus. I can’t say much for the salad and drinks, they were pretty standard(but really delicious). The managers even came by our table to see how our night was going and they were so friendly! But what we really wanted to discuss was our waitress, Audrey. She was such a delight! What a bright light. She not only treated us like royalty, we watched her speak in other languages to foreign guests, play with babies who were fussy at tables, laugh with her coworkers, and was still able to work extremely hard! She not only described the menu to us and helped us not to over-order, she wrote down places for my husband and I to discover since we were new to the island! She got us flaming strawberries because I mentioned that we were celebrating my husband’s new job. We wanted to adopt her! Also to note were the very kind young men who cleared our table. I dont remember their names, but they were fast and efficient. We will be back for sure! What an amazing night!

Ruth’s Chris always has consistently good food. The Ribeye I ordered at this location was cooked to my specifications, and was excellent. The staff at this location were very friendly and professional. I’m always happy with the training of their employees to provide a quality experience. Several chain restaurants lose either quality or service and somehow Ruth’s Chris has kept it. Well done.

I brought my boyfriend and my mom here for her birthday about a week ago. It was our first time eating at Ruth’s Chris. The service was great and so was the food! Lee was my server and he recommended the perfect wine for both me and my mom to have with our entrée. I had the petite filet which was very tender. My boyfriend had their stuffed chicken breast and said it was very moist and delicious! I had a bite of his and I think I’m going to get that on our next visit! Lee recommended to get that with the potatoes au gratin which was paired nicely with his chicken. He also recommended to get the bone in steak since it’s more tastier than boneless. Although it was on the pricier side my mom said it’s definitely worth it! We enjoyed this dinner so much that we will be back very soon!

Our experience was not at all what people describe on here. We left with mixed feelings, but after reading some of these reviews I’m feeling disappointed. We booked it for our Anniversary. We arrived shortly before our reservation time of 6:30 pm to a busy restaurant and waited with a large group of people outside for nearly 20 minutes to be seated. I didn’t count it against them because they were just so busy, but it was our anniversary and we wanted to try this place we’ve been told was so amazing. We got seated to a table with rose petals strewn about, That was a nice touch. The waiter told us happy anniversary and explained the steak cooking process to us. We ordered and listened to the beach boys and other pop culture music while we waited for the food. I remember commenting to my wife that with such nice ambiance the«grocery store» mix tape seemed out of place. Romantic piano jazz or even a live piano player felt like a better option. We later read reviews of stories of folks«being spoiled» with free bottles of Champaign, complimentary desserts and even gift cards for return visits with their Anniversary dinner. As much I read this now it seems standard practice. We weren’t offed any of that from our servers(James & David). And for $ 220 we now wish we would have listened to our friends and went to Hy’s or Morton’s instead.

This is an excellent Ruth’s Chris location. I have been here several times and have not left disappointed. The restaurant is large, with patio seating and a large bar area you can eat at. Tip: you can wear more casual clothes and eat at the bar(shorts), but the restaurant is more formal dining(pants, collared shirts). The food is hot and fresh, and the seafood looks delicious(I say looks because I cannot get past their delicious filet!). There is even a 48oz cowboy cut for you big eaters! They have an extensive wine selection, with about a dozen wines by the glass available. A really nice wine selection with reasonable prices for west coast wines. The staff are very friendly, especially the bartenders… they really are great and accommodating. You don’t want to leave! There can be a line, so plan ahead or call ahead for reservations. Whether eating in the bar or going for a more formal dining experience, you won’t be disappointed at Ruth’s!

We dined at Ruth’s Chris Steak House to celebrate a birthday and they met and surpassed all of our expectations. Like all fine dining I would suggest for you to make a reservation online or call the restaurant directly. We showed up 15 minutes before our reservation and they were even able to sit us early. In my online reservation note I requested for a booth and this too they were able to provide. We ordered a house chardonnay and a guava margarita, both were pleasing with our dinner. The chardonnay wasn’t to strong and it had a nice smooth taste. The guava margarita comes over ice and with out salt and it hit the spot. For our dinner we had a New York Strip and the chefs fish special(which I can’t remember the type of fish it was). The sides come in healthy portions and are perfect for sharing especially when you want to sample a bit of everything. We had the asparagus, lobster mac and cheese, and potatoes au Gratin. Our fave was defiantly the lobster mac and cheese, this one side in particular comes in a pretty healthy size I would say even enough for 3 – 4 people. Over all the entire experience was great, the New York Strip was cooked perfectly and our server and bus boy were very attentive to our table. We can’t speak for parking, we had a nice walk to and from the restaurant from the Hilton, which in itself was nice. The only con we had was the chefs fish special was a bit on the oily side. The fish was pan seared in peanut oil which made the fish seem a bit more oily. But other than that 5⁄5. We have had Ruth’s Chris back home in So. Cal and both have been great experiences.

I’ve been to Ruth’s Chris before, but this is my first time at the Waikiki location. It’s located in the same building as Yard House, except they are upstairs. There is street parking if you’re lucky. Don’t park in Royal Hawaiian, the validation doesn’t apply to the restaurant. Instead, it’s valet parking at the Outrigger, which is on the other side of the building. Good luck. Food here has always been consistent. Came here for Restaurant Week this time around. I opted for their restaurant week menu — my date decided on the regular menu since he doesn’t eat greens. Their steak is always cooked to the right temperature, their side dishes are always exceptional, and their dessert has always been on point. What made this visit stand out? The service. My waiter was FANTASTIC. He greeted us right away, came back to check on us often, and had suggestions for wine pairing. He literally answered all of our questions with a huge smile. Now THAT is service. If you are looking for a great steak, great wine, and great ambiance, check this place out. I definitely like this location better than the location at Restaurant Row. See for yourself. Enjoy!

Great food, amazing service. 10⁄10 would definitely eat here again. And again. Our server Marc was helpful, humorous, and attentive. We were able to sit outside so we could enjoy the cool breeze during the early evening hours. Everything we ordered was stellar. We started off with the bbq shrimp appetizer. She got the rack of lamb, and I the New York strip. The steak was well seasoned, juicy, and cooked to a perfect medium rare just as I had requested. Oh, and when the server drops off your steak on the sizzling plate and advises that you do not touch it, well. don’t touch it. The plate was dropped off at an odd angle and my OCD kicked in. I reached to adjust the plate and boy, was that a bad idea.

I’ve dined here at least a dozen times, it’s time I give a worthy review. First I’ll say I’ve been to numerous Ruth’s around the country, and all are superb. This particular one in the heart of waikiki is particularly special. The consistency in quality, service, and attention to detail is rare among most restaurants – and rarer yet for a chain. The dining room servers are always top notch. They always go out of their way to know you before they serve you. It may just seem like small talk, but they really do try to connect with the customer. I also like the fact that they are very conscious of the pace at which you’d like to be served. Nothing kills the ambiance more than food that is simply rushed at the speed of heat so they can turn the table quicker. At Ruth’s you dine at your personal pace. The food is always impeccable. Ruth’s bills themselves as a steakhouse, but they do so much more than that. In fact my two favorite dishes aren’t even of the beef variety. Although the steaks are outstanding, allow yourself to try the stuffed chicken or the barbecued shrimp entrees. Obviously the steaks are great, but don’t feel that’s the only winner here. Explore and enjoy. If for some reason something isn’t to your liking, simply mention it and it will be taken care of. That’s the Ruth’s way. They are very Open Table friendly. Mention a special occasion in the app and expect rose petals to adorn your table upon arrival. Most servers will take your picture for you as well – good pictures too. Wednesday is discounted wine night. Take 25% off all bottles of wine. They will happily bag your leftovers to go. The wine list is fairly deep and offers some real gems from every region. This particular Ruth’s is a mainstay for me on every visit to the island. Truly deserving of 5 stars. A rating I rarely give.

I come here at least once a year for the prime time deal from 5 p.m. — 6 p.m. This time I brought my two co-workers and went at 5. By the time we got there, it was mostly full, and all four of us couldn’t sit together. It was supposed to just be three of us, but one person invited a plus one without asking the inviter(me). Please remember as a courtesy that when you are the invitee, you should always ask the person who invited you if you can bring someone else. It’s rude to show up with another person, especially at a nice restaurant where we could have made reservations. We sat at the bar, but we had to split up. Poor plus one girl had to sit with my friend, when the girl who invited her should have sat with her. Just remember that group-minded extroverted people should take into consideration that more is not always merrier for everyone. Back to the restaurant, service is lovely as usual. If you want the prime time deal, you have to show up before 5 p.m. before they open or else you’re playing musical chairs and looking for a spot at the bar. Don’t be that peasant that walks in late because you just got off the bus. This place, Hy’s Steakhouse, and Michel’s are so far my favorite high-end restaurants.

Since there was a festival in Waikiki, we waited for our entrees for about 2 hours and then we were served. Our dinner was a total of 3 hours! Ridiculous. The only thing our waiter could say was that the kitchen was backlogged because their customers showed up to dinner later than usually. Nothing was comped to us. Two different managers even stopped by and did nothing about the situation. If we are paying this much for the food, I would expect that customer service would be exceptional. The filet mignon was really tough when we had ordered a medium well steak. Appetizers and the soup came out cold! When we were about to pay for the bill, we had to wait 15 minutes for it. In addition, when we were about to leave, there was a pool of water right where we had to step. Not sure if I would go back.

Been here numerous times. Usually with clients for work. The service is what sets this place apart from anywhere else in the area. I went to dinner this evening with my family and we were treated like royalty, kids were attended to with the utmost respect. Food was delicious, served at the appropriate times, and we all left happy and full. I prefer dinner seating in the bar area, because the ALOHA the bartenders show is amazing and it’s contagious. Smiles all around, locals helping with taking pictures of their overseas tourist neighbors, man just got to love it.

I’ve been to this location multiple times, but the recent experience I had was absolutely amazing! A friend of mine had placed reservations for my birthday and I felt so special to have flower petals on my table when we had been seated. Not only that, our server Marc was fantastic and was very attentive. He allowed us to feel comfortable in trusting in his recommendation of the Tomahawk Ribeye. On top of that, I’m assuming they were managers which I believe their names were Scott and David, had stopped by the table to check up on us and also wished me a happy birthday! Way to make a guest feel very welcomed and great on their special day! Then to put the icing on the cake, I received a handwritten birthday card with a coupon card! I have never ever gotten that kind of SPECTACULAR service EVER at any restaurant before. Continue to make each special occasion for a guest a great one because I definitely felt so appreciated when I went for my birthday! Amazing Customer service and very delicious food as well!

Started w/the carpaccio(wow… served with huge/perfect croutons and parmesan). It highlights the basic awesomeness of well-made carpaccio, ribeye(boneless, perfectly medium rare – not always the case at some other RCSH’s– and very flavorful) and tried the chicken(melt-in-your-mouth awesome and almost like a paste… think beer can chicken w//awesome seasonings you can’t pinpoint but want to recreate the next day). The(single) sourdough bread they serves was very boring, even though I love sourdough; but the cool sesame chips here made up for it. All orders were perfect. I really liked both entrees and tried them along w/creamed spinach(a must have… I find it better than their mac-n-cheese). The spinach tasted light(but so wasn’t) and finely chopped. Entrees, an app, and spinach was about 30% too much food for two hungry people. This place is a well-managed one(great servers, chefs and managers… awful hosts who are overwhelmed and literally avoided looking or listening to every single customer who approached them… the girls working last sunday simply shouldn’t be hosts). Like they literally pissed off 10 customers, including myself, by avoiding acknowledgement and eye contact for a solid 30 seconds while frowning and staring downward… and constantly saying [screw you, please go away] we’re the only [TWO] seaters. Who cares, kids? We were seated 20 minutes after a reservation at a table(after requesting a booth…). There is no waiting area here, so I’ll opt for the bar next time… or visit the other location near kaka;ako on weekends or with groups. Next time I’ll dine outside here(and on a weekday).

Need a place to celebrate a special occasion? Well, I’ve got an answer for you… Ruth’s Chris Steak House on Waikiki Beachwalk! Everything from the ambiance to the food to the service was on-point! Now… you’re probably thinking«Ruth’s Chris is an expensive place to eat» and/or «Waikiki never has cheap parking.» Well I’ve got solutions for you. If you’re a Costco member, usually around Christmas time, they sell their famous restaurant gift cards for 25% off. And Ruth’s Chris is one of them! We then heard they have a Sizzlin’ Prime Time menu from 5−6pm daily. It’s a 3-course meal that price ranges from $ 48-$ 60. And lastly, the parking situation. As we are all Unilocalers, make sure to valet your car at Embassy Suites and check-in at Waikiki Beach Walk(WBW). WBW’s Unilocal deal is 3-hours of free parking! SCORE! And there you have it… how to make an expensive date night into a cost-friendly date night ;) Sorry, don’t mind me. I’m Chinese! It’s in my blood to find the best deals haha. My boyfriend and I were celebrating our 2 year anniversary. So when we made reservations, we made sure to let them know we were celebrating a special occasion. As we were escorted to our table, the staff had scattered rose petals across the table and every worker that passed our table congratulated us on our anniversary! It just made our night even more special and memorable. Our server Kevin was outstanding! He was attentive, knowledgeable and very friendly. You could tell he was a local boy, but when he was helping another table that was filled with Japanese tourist, he was able to fluently speak back to them in Japanese. It was very impressive! And as a Unilocaler, you know you gotta take pictures of your food and of ourselves. But Kevin was so amazing, I didn’t even have to ask him. As our starters came to the table, he offered to take our picture. That’s a plus in my books lol. Food was delicious. Kevin recommended the Oysters Rockafeller. The presentation of this dish was beautiful as it was lit up in flames and the flavor was creamy and yummy. Ontop of that, we both ordered from their Prime Time Menu. I started off with their Soup of the Day, Seafood Gumbo while my boyfriend got their Caesar Salad. For our entrée, I got the $ 47.95 section, Petite Filet(8oz) and my boyfriend got the $ 57.95 section, Ribeye(16oz) with side dishes of Roasted Tomatoes and Mashed Potatoes. And for dessert, we both got their Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce. Our steaks were cooked exactly how we asked, seasoning was delicious and we were stuffed before dessert even came out. To top off our night. Our server brought us a complimentary dessert along with our Prime Time dessert, Strawberries with Chocolate and Caramel lit up in flame. I can’t rave about this place enough. Thanks Ruth Chris’ for making our anniversary extra special! We will be back again! :)

Ruth’s Chris has been one of my favorite restaurants for the past eight years, one of the reasons is because my family traditionally brings me here every year for my birthday. That way, there are no disappointments. I love their butter laden sizzling thick juicy steaks. One of my favorite sides is the cream spinach. This Ruth’s Chris doesn’t stray far from the other ones I’ve been to on the mainland, so there’s not much more to say. Service has always been excellent. However, there is a dynamic duo by the names of Tony and Ezekiel that made our last visit outstanding. There was a menu item that I ordered every time I went that I absolutely loved and they ended up taking it off the menu. These guys could tell I was disappointed and arranged along with the cooks, to make this item available.(I am not divulging what this menu item was because I know they went through a lot of trouble to get it!) That’s the only reason I wrote this review; to give a shot out to those guys who provided exceptional service! Much Mahalo for the great eats, above and beYond service and the friendly conversation!
