Ruth’s Chris Steak House

Been waiting to comeback here and finally got here for VDay celeb and it’s disappointing coz I expected a lot based on my last visit. Ordered calamari. Soggy. Ordered string fries soggy, ordered Cowboy ribeye first they brought it medium vs med rare brought the 2^nd and it was ok but meat full of fat not that I don’t like fat it be t it can choke you real bad. Still chaising for that perfect ribeye and it’s not here
Next Peter Luger or Wolfgang at park Ave.
And worse is $ 160 for 2 people? With so so ?
RUN!!!

Well I gotta tell ya folks, don’t go here if you expect a view of the city, it’s not here. The food is expensive, the tables are CROWDED. The wait staff hit my chair in their transits TWENTY ONE times during my meal with never a sorry or pause. Our waitress was very nice and actually the only person who didn’t ram into my chair. The steaks are incredible, the sides are boring and almost tasteless. Overall, we spent a lot of money for an annoying time with no view, tasteless sides and wonderful steaks. You can decide whether it’s worth it to you.

Thank you Unilocal for alerting us to
. We actually went here twice to celebrate. Our first visit was Sunday night for dinner.
We started with drinks. I tried the rosemary, raspberry cosmo and the bf ordered the broad street hurricane. Although mine was delicious, the bf s was to die for!!! Next, we had crusty, warm bread with butter.
For appys, I had the ahi tuna… probably one of the most amazing pieces of tuna that I have ever had. My only complaint (yes, I always have something to say) was that the spicy sauce was good but wasn’t really necessary. It overpowered the slices of perfection that were placed before me. Needless to say, I devoured it. The bf chose the salad option which was good, but standard.
On to the main event, bf ordered the petite filet and it was perfectly cooked and amazing. I opted for the salmon which was excellent as well. Our sides were both delish… garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. For wine we had a chardonnay and malbec off of the restaurant week menu. Definitely, the malbec was hood, the chard meh!
Dessert options were whiskey bread pudding and cheesecake. We sampled both and they were good.
Overall, what a steal. It was my first time at ruth chris and we didn’t have to mortgage the house. Excellent service, great meal, awesome location. .so good that we went back for lunch the next week! !!!

Enjoyed myself immensely. The food and service was excellent… I will definitely return to this location… The sweet potatoes casserole was everything.

Today went to celebrate my Mothers Birthday. My husband and I usually come to celebrate our anniversary. We usually enjoy ourselves here and thought we would share the experience.
I don’t know if things have changed since renovations, or maybe new staff or just a bad night. But my husband and I were disappointed.
Appetizers came out before wine. Ordered mushrooms off the specials and were told at first course they ran out. (It’s Sunday with a 4pm reservation). Appetizers came out and the runner slowly poured/​spilled out the sauce from our ravioli dish onto the table. I don’t think he was paying attention. My mother had a full plate of salad and I had some salad in my plate too and they started to clear the plates from my husband and father and then reached for my salad as well as my mothers without asking if we were done. (We weren’t done, and now felt rushed) At this point I went to talk to the manager because I wanted to be sure we weren’t rushed for rest of meal and that we we’re celebrating that evening.
Went back to table which was full of breadcrumbs. They never cleaned or crumbed. Dinner came out and my husband had to ask for a steak knife. We ordered the porterhouse for two medium rare. It came out medium/​medium well. I don’t like to send things back but this steak is over $ 90. They gave us an extra order of creamed spinach on the house, which was nice. But we had ordered the first one for my husband because he’s the only one that likes it. So my husband enjoyed two, by himself.
After dinner, ordered a chocolate sin cake with a candle for my mom. But when I it came out, there was no candle. I was a bit confused, so I asked if he could put a candle in it. He also seemed confused and said a candle was coming? And then another cake comes out with a candle. I’m glad we got got the candle, but I would think the birthday cake would come out first?
There are some other steakhouses my husband and I have wanted to try. I think this is a good time to start.

I may have to give this place another shot, but for now it gets 3 Stars.
Location is nice, love the view especially when sitting right by the window. Service is great and when I went the wait wasn’t too bad even though we forgot to make reservations.
Shared the Porterhouse and that’s what we weren’t satisfied with, it seemed a bit bland and the texture was. Odd? Hard to explain. Ordered it medium but it was more on the medium rare side. Creamed spinach was okay, a little on the water side and again a bit bland. Pecan crusted sweet potato casserole was excellent though.
I’ll go back eventually and try something else out, but the porterhouse definitely wasn’t worth the $ 90 it cost.

The food is fine here for a steak place. It’s decent steak with butter. Butter makes anything taste good so I’m not going to rave about it because it’s nothing to rave about. I have been here a few times with no real complaints. However, I went on NYE and the reception staff was horrendous. It wasn’t even busy. I walked in and said hello with several staff standing at the door and not one greeted me or said anything after I, the customer, said hello first. In fact, they just stared back at me. Very rude. Not one smile. I cannot stand it when I arrive at a restaurant or any establishment and staff are standing around, no greeting and no response when the customer ends up greeting THEM! Completely ill-​mannered, untrained and downright rude!
The service at the table was also quite poor. The manager randomly came over with a fake smile plastered on asking, in an extremely fake manner, if everything was ok. Of course it wasn’t but I wasn’t going to embarrass the man. Train your staff!!! Service was generally slow. Then the fruit dessert with cream in a cup came without spoons and we had to flag someone down after several minutes to finally get spoons. Ridiculous. Spoons should come when the dessert that clearly requires spoons are placed on the table. All in all a poor experience.

My boyfriend and I came here on Christmas. I ordered the harvest salad and the stuffed chicken breast with shoestring potatoes. My boyfriend ordered the lobster bisque and filet mignon. We were served warm bread with butter, and ordered drinks while we waited for our entrees. The food was excellent. The chicken was tender and moist, the steak was cooked perfectly, unfortunately the fries weren’t very crispy. The prices are a bit high, however in this case you get what you pay for.

Been there at xmas day. Place very cold, freezing, ask to low a/​c nothing happened. Food average, order 3 course special dinner, never got my side dish included, ask for bread never got it. For what I paid could go in other restaurant get better food. Ordered salmon and compliment shrimp, everything come on a small plate, might they run of plates? Dessert included in spec dinner, ask to get ice cream instead been charged extra 6 dollars. Disappointed, usually I ate here twice a month.

One of My Favorite Steak House’s!!! The Steaks are off Da Hook… I hope you like Butter!!!

I had a business lunch here and my experience was positive.
Here’s the Tony rundown:
The filet mignon was cooked perfectly and an excellent cut of beef.
The lobster bisque had nice flavor but 2 drawbacks. One was that it was a little cold temperature-​wise and the other is there was no lobster in it. It would have been nice to get at least a chunk or two or lobster.
The mashed potatoes were okay but were drowning in butter. There was pools of butter that congealed by the end of the meal. Not pleasant to look at.
The cheesecake was okay but was a little on the drier side.
Although I mention some negatives overall was a positive experience with a delicious steak.

First time at this location.
Apps
Calamari (really good bc of the sauce)
2 spicy lobsters (the sauce is sooo good)
Entrée
Petite filet with blue cheese crust
This dish was a complete perfection. The blue cheese complimented the steak so well and my steak was cooked perfectly. (Medium well upon request) delicious!
Sides
Mash potatoes (typical, nothing special)
2 lobster Mac and cheese (worst lobster Mac I’ve ever had, missing flavor and well cheese. Portion of lobster was good but no cheese. Tasted like oiled and boiled noodles with lobster topping.
Sweet potato something, wow this was so delicious, so sweet and I’m not into sweet but this should be on the dessert menu. So so so good and a must have when you go. We got two orders.
Service was not that great. Waitress could’ve been more attentive and not that it’s her fault I don’t think at least but 2 of the steak orders were undercooked. One was supposed to be medium and it was rare and one that was supposed to be medium well was also rare.
Not the best steakhouse for your money. If you want a good steak. Go to Luger’s or Del Monico’s.

Everything was great. From the food to service just great over all. I had the Stuffed Chicken Breast
hubs had lamb chops and friends had T-​bone steak and filet mignon. Everything was cooked to perfection no complaints here! Our sides consisted of lobster mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach (the sides are huge. Big enough to share). They have a great selection of wines. Great quiet atmosphere. Definitely can’t wait to go back

This Ruth Chris in Weehawken will never get anything less than a 5 star from me! I actually live closer to the Parsipanny one, but have not had a consistent experience there.
Ask for Lonny in the restaurant and Danny at the new lounge bar! The new bar lounge is beautifully appointed! Booths, high tables, gorgeous bar annnd private party rooms with views of the waterfront! The wine bottles are well displayed in the glass walls that make up the entrance to the banquet rooms:)
The food at the bar is the same menu as in the restaurant and as delicious! Favorite MUST have — BBQ Shrimp… ohhh so good! The gumbo is also very, very good! You can’t go wrong with the porter house for 2 cooked medium rare to medium –anything more and you may as well order a burger — elsewhere because you won’t find that on the menu. On the lighter side is the 16 oz cowboy ribeye bone in! So much flavor! The lighter lighter side is the petite filet medium, and oh so tender! A side of creamed spinach almost always:) the asparagus is also great! And a drum roll please for the dessert… Crème brûlée with fresh berries!
Now about Lonny… while I am sure all of the servers are great, he is the absolute best! His personality and dry satire are a wonderful treat to your dinning experience. Attentive fails to describe his service — he knows my favorite wines but can also make perfect recommendations on new wines to compliment our dinner.
Lovely hostess and staff! Valet parking is on site:)

This particular location has always been a favorite of mine! Delish filet mignon cooked perfectly. juicy and tender. I like mine Med-​well and even then was it AMAZING. They had this ravioli appetizer that was phenomenal last time I went. I would also recommend that you expect to pay top dollar for the meal, it is ala carte. But the apps are big enough to share so that helps.
The service here is impeccable, they know just when to fill your cup without interrupting. The drinks are also well made.
The ambiance is clean and beautiful especially with the NYC skyline right in front of you. Absolutely romantic and fun! Plenty of parking and in a hopping location.
I haven’t been here in a long time but I do hope they have some gluten free desserts to try when I plan on going very soon.

My husband and I went on a week long search for the best steaks (Ruth Chris, Outback, Longhorn, Texas Roadhouse, etc) longhorn wins. But Ruth Chris is a close second.
The cream spinach is delicious, the lobster mac and cheese tastes like Kraft Mac n cheese with lobster meat. The scallops are delicious. Everything else is good but I prefer longhorn steak AND sides over Ruth Chris’.
Their sides are big enough to share with another person.

I may have to come back and give this place another shot. Got seated right away, was tended to right away, the waiter was very knowledgeable, the service was phenomenal, they had a variety of wine and scotch, everything was good… except, probably the most important part, the steak.
Ordered a porterhouse for 2 (40 oz, could’ve finished it myself) and it came out medium-​rare, the way I actually ordered it! But the quality of the meat was ehhhhh. Every bite was very chewy or tough. Not a lot of good meat on the steak. It was seasoned great, don’t get me wrong, but I might’ve gotten a bad cut of meat. I think my expectations were too high and was disappointed by the quality of the meat. Had steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes as sides and the mashed potatoes were the best. THAT was really good. And for dessert, got the chocolate explosion (?) and that was really good, even for a non-​dessert eater like myself.
Overall, great service, good sides, ok steak. I’ll have to come back and try some of the other cuts and see if they live up to the hype.

I have heard (albeit mostly from my boyfriend) that Ruth’s Chris steaks were actually good despite being a franchise. Outside of one other experience, I don’t think that I have enough steakhouse experiences in my repertoire to make any judgements here. Luckily, my boyfriend and I ventured to this location on Sunday.
Food-​wise, everything was really good. The steaks come topped with parsley butter and mine was cooked exactly as I had asked (between medium rare to rare). Word of advice, don’t ask for a medium well or well done steak; it’s an act of horror to eat a meat brick for dinner. Regardless, I do hold some qualms against the sides and the lobster bisque. The bisque itself was good, but I didn’t like how the lobster pieces were cold against the hot soup and the creamed spinach could use A LOT more seasoning, I mean a lot.
Unfortunately, our entrees were enough to feed us to the point we didn’t even consider dessert, although I would’ve loved to try the crème brûlée. Go ahead and give this place a try, however, I would probably go to the Princeton location over this for reasons I don’t feel the need to list at this moment.

Been here a few Times with my boyfriend, our first valentines day we came here. They had a prefix for special occasions, it is pretty good deal. Of course as all prefix its never the best food on the menu but it’s decent.
I had a surf and turf, a small filet mignon with potatoes and asparagus. It was well cooked and seasoned. The dessert had nuts and it was chocolate, so I couldn’t taste it because of my tree but allergy :(but I was told it was, delicious.
The view is great, and the floor to ceiling windows are lovely.
We have always had great service and a wonderful time. The wine list was extensive, and the recommendations by the waiter were lovely.

The hot plates show how serious this place is about their steaks. They’re truly hot and juicy, soft in the mouth and satisfying. The kitchen seems to overlook the rest of the fare here though. Everything’s too buttery and heavy… even the vegetables. The onion rings are as big as donuts but not the best in taste. Service is very… chain-​restaurant.
Yes, they do serve up a mean steak but if you’re coming here for a special occasion, your money could be spent better elsewhere.
