Ruth’s Chris Steak House

We came last July n oh my gosh the best steak I’ve ever had!!! Soo juicy n tender worth the $ 50 no sides just steak.

garbage, no wonder this place closed. RIP ruth chris in vegas!

I’d heard this restaurant advertised a lot on the radio and really wanted to try it. It was a bit busy when we came in for dinner, but the service was still good. I ordered a Porterhouse steak and for what we paid for it, it seems to me it should’ve been a lot more tender than it was. That was a disappointment, to be sure. We both ordered sides of creamed spinach and au gratin potatoes. They were both very good, but I wish we had known how big they were going to be; one serving is enough for two people. The steak was huge too, and I probably left ¹⁄₃ of it.
Although I was disappointed with the steak, I’d like to give this restaurant chain a second chance.

I still love you!
With all the many choices and new restaurants poping up around the valley its nice to come back to this familiar place. Ruth’s Chris is just divine. I am not a big meat eater but you wont catch me passing up one of their steaks baby!
Yep its pricey, but the best part is coming here at reverse happy hour. C’mon who cant scrape togther some change for $ 13 surf n turf? Just order a few appitizers, order your favorite drink and ahhhhhh relax :)

The Ruth’s Chris in Vegas is a good solid restaurant, but with so many steak options in Vegas, I can understand why people would pass it up for a more glamorous Vegas style dining experience. It gets lost among the glitzy upscale restaurants, but then again, they have Ruth’s Chris across the nation and some folks go to Vegas to experience things unique to Sin City. Although the dining experience is a bit sterile, you will walk out satisfied and ready to take on more of Vegas.
Pros:
Good food
Efficient service and staff
Cons:
Sterile and lacks character — not Vegas like
I like Ruth’s Chris for the same reason I like other chain restaurants — familiarity and a fairly consistent dining experience. The food is good and of high quality, and you will hardly ever walk out hungry or disappointed. There are tons of steak restaurants in Vegas, ranging from «super cheap» to «you’ve got to be kidding me» expensive, so do your research and compare options before dropping upwards of $ 50+ per person without drinks or appetizers.
In most cities, a Ruth’s Chris would be considered a «fancy» or near «top tier» dining experience, but unfortunately in Vegas, it’s just another restaurant. I like that it’s quieter than a Strip restaurant and with most of the pretentious folks eating at more «upscale» establishments, you can bet that the restaurant will be less crowded and the atmosphere more relaxed — you would hardly know that you were eating in Las Vegas.
The service at this location is pretty consistent with the other locations — efficient and professional, though distant. I think the servers at Ruth’s Chris do a wonderful job: they take your order and come around to check on you, but don’t expect a lot of personality from the wait staff or the restaurant. It’s a great place to eat good food, but it’s not necessarily a place you go to be wowed… unless you’re wowed by a beautiful cut of filet sizzling on the hot plate. Don’t get me wrong, this is a nice place to eat unless you’re absolutely expecting to be blown away (Vegas style) by the experience. By the way, our wait person didn’t inform us of the specials they were running. It’s no biggie, but I could’ve saved $ 20 – 30.
Ruth’s Chris in Vegas might not deliver on style and may not be one of the «hot» places to eat, but you can always rely on a good meal comparable to most steak restaurants in Vegas. It is one of my favorite places to get a filet, but in Vegas, the competition is just too stiff for an outright recommendation.
I’m giving it 3 stars on Unilocal though it deserves 3.5 stars:
4 stars for the food but the overall experience only earned 3 stars because of the numerous options in Las Vegas.

Ruth’s Chris is fantastic. The steak, the appetizers, the sides… all fantastic. But the server & the wine?!? AMAZING. And they went hand in hand. Our server made a few vino suggestions to match our meal but strongly pointed us in the direction of a cab from Cali called Justin. I think this is what heaven may taste like.
I was not so excited about dinner here (chained out steak houses — boo), but I was impressed. The setting was intimate and quiet without being pretentious and the food, drink and service were all tops.

Maybe it was because my date was so well known here, or maybe it really was my winning smile and hot shoes, who knows? All I know is that I was treated like royalty and had one of the best meals I have had in Vegas.
We started at the bar, sharing a lovely cabernet and some conversation with the bartenders and the maitre d’. Part of me wants to call it glad-​handing, but (and I can say this about every time I had been here), the staff truly was happy to see us, ask my friend for updates on his goings-​on, and make sure that we were extremely well taken care of. We took our time, never feeling rushed, and just enjoyed our time.
When we decided we were ready to be seated, we were ushered into a private booth in what was, for most of our meal, a private room. The bottle we brought with us was waiting on the table. Once we settled in, it was decanted and shared (of course!) with our waiter, Tommy, and Jay, the maitre d’. Our order was taken, and the expert, personal service continued.
The lobster bisque was fantastic. Creamy, rich, and with a depth of flavor I rarely find. It was truly one of the best I have had.
*tangent*
I would love to do a taste test between this and the one at the Grotto at Golden Nugget… also one of my faves. Might have to plan that. Any takers? ;) Ahhh, I digress.
*/​tangent*
The lobster tail was prepared very well, buttery with a generous portion of garlic. It came cut up and not on the tail. This is fine, though I would have preferred it slightly less cooked; the broil on the end was unnecessary in my opinion. However, it was still sweet, tender and beautifully done. The potatoes he ordered to go with his lobster were OK. Not amazing, but done well.
My filet with blue cheese crust was absolutely, spot-​on, perfect. Rare with a cool red center, the blue cheese crust just slightly browned, and seasoned well. The meat was melt-​in-​your-​mouth tender.
The service was, if you haven’t guessed it yet, the highlight of the night. We declined dessert but opted for the recommended second bottle of wine. Tommy’s choice was great and inspired a lovely conversation about wine, origins, vintages, and (most important!) «drinkability.»
One of the best parts? I had shared earlier a story about how this restaurant was the first steakhouse I had been to in Vegas… brought here by my late father almost 2 decades ago and taught how to properly order a charred-​rare, blue cheese filet. Well, this got back to Marcel, the owner, who came over and spoke with me a bit, trying to remember my Dad, and sharing stories of his own. There was something so touching, so sweet about his appearance and willingness to share.
We were well fed and everyone made us feel welcome, honored, and important. Aside from the OK potatoes and the personal preference on the lobster, this was a perfect, five-​star, par excellence experience.
As I kissed Marcel on the cheek on my way out, I promised I would be back.

Ruth’s Chris seemed fitting to end my husband’s and my 1-​year wedding anniversary trip to Vegas. It’s a dark, intimate and cozy space with impeccable service from Miguel, who take care of us. Their booths offer a great deal of seclusion — in fact, each booth is separated from the next with frosted glass. I kinda liked how they kept referring us to us as «Mr and Mrs.», by our last names :)
When asked how I wanted my filet mignon cooked, I opted for medium well but Miguel recommended I order «medium plus,» which is their own specal category between medium and medium well). It was perfect! My steak was just over the brink of being completely cooked, yet it was still juicy. My husband’s ribeye was equally tender. It’s sort of an odd obervsation, but I love their hollandaise sauce. The steaks were flavorful enough that they didn’t need it, but it was a nice addition.
The only complaint I had was about the bread. Our order of garlic cheese bread apeared to be (and tasted like) a baguette with melted American cheese. *shrug*

OK, so I was always taught if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all … but REALLY?!
Dropped by this place after catching a Cirque show with a close friend, and we ended up here because it was open so late (kudos to whoever extended their hours so late, because Smith and Wollensky was shut)
Waiter seemed pretty tipsy. :/​Though he was a nice guy.
The other wait staff insisted on reaching all over our table and obsessively removing things that really could have been left where they were until the end of our meal — OCD perhaps?
Food took a long time to appear and they forgot an item or two.
Hey … at least my martini was good ;)

Ruth’s chris is like a woman I know, and you know her too, you know… That chick who’s got a reputation… Except instead of getting drunk and flashing you at the bar, Ruth’s chris’ reputation is outstanding service, and the most delicious aged steaks that money can buy. (and believe you me, you’ll need to bring some money with you) however, my first experience with this wonderful chain of steak houses was in Baltimore, and after that wonderful experience, the las Vegas cousin didn’t quite blow my mind. Yes, the steak and sides were equally amazing. Yet the restaurant layout was a wee bit cramped, and the service seemed more Applebees-​esque than what you’d expect from a restaurant with such high esteem.
And for the 121.00 dollars I spent on dinner, you think they’d be able to afford to, perhaps, turn on a light or two, it was the DARKEST restaurant I’ve ever dined in.
That being said, I give them four stars, which for a regular establishment, is pretty solid, but for a ‘five star’ restaurant… It’s no bueno.
My recommendation, have at least two
Hours to kill, and bring small lantern so you can find your silverware. ;-)
Cheers!

It bugs me when i know what i want to order and they start telling me a 5 minute story of what state the fish came from, how it was caught, how they prepare it, how their experienced chefs cook it, and so on…
Service was horrible… entered with a buddy of mine and they made him go back to his car to put on a long sleeve or jacket. Host had PMS for sure. Food was undercooked and displayed very sloppy. No one looks when you need service but when you wanna be left alone, some waiter comes out to ask you how your food was, etc. Bread sent out was stale…

This review is for their Happy Hour~~ I wish we had late night happy hour in Ca – but only in Vegas right? They have HH from 4 – 6 and 11−3am daily and that includes 50% off their special items (they have a big selection to choose from from appetizers, salads, and small meals)… They had a really good selection too! You can get a petite fillet mignon (and I mean PETITE – SMALL) & lobster with asparagus for $ 12 – 13, which isnt bad for a small bite… try it blackened, its really good. and make sure you order their french onion soup!!! Its delicious…

Visited this location for dinner on 12÷21÷10 … I had the lobster bisque (oh momma, that was goooood), spinach salad, and the rib eye, medium rare. My dining pal had the seafood gumbo (very flavorful), house salad and the filet. In addition, we shared some garlic bread with cheese. Everything was super crazy delicious. I forgot how good their steaks taste when they arrive sizzling in butter!!! I brought half my steak home, and am tempted to gnaw on it right now … cold out of the fridge. That is some damn fine beef!
Service was overall good, although I had to remind our waitress that I had ordered an iced tea. Beautiful bar area, too!

This restaurant is like a throwback in time. The food was good, and the service was excellent — We had a party of 7 and the food was served fairly quickly. There is zero attention paid to the display of the food. The restaurant itself is in a strip mall far from the other casinos–
and does not appear to have been updated since the 80s. For the price of the food, they need to update the place– the uniforms, the curtains, the décor– 80s Vegas.
Even though the food was very good– I wouldn’t go back– there are too many other places in Vegas where you can spend $ 100 a person and get a better vibe. The manager on duty was wearing too tight black pants and chewing gum? Doesn’t seem appropriate.

Wasn’t sure what to expect — last minute reservations on Open Table for our b’day steak dinner coupled with 1star to 5 star reviews from my fellow Unilocalers.
Love the Beverly Hills location. 1^st time at the LV one.
Our server Bobbie was a doll. He was funny, attentive & accommodating. My ½ of the group got there on time and sat at the bar for a bit. Bartender lady was very nice & makes some strong but flavorful drinks (friend ordered Washington Apple shots).
My medium rare ribeye came out perfect & sizzling on that hot platter of butter. Sides of baked potato & asparagus were spot on. We were even served a comp side of mushrooms (pretty good too!).
I guess we were lucky in that fact that all our food was delicious — so much that we couldn’t eat dinner.
Only item that was a little off was the chopped salad. I had it in BHills before & it was delicious! I split it with my b/f…it was — dry? I mean there was practically no salad dressing at all… not even lightly tossed — I got the flavoring from their bacon bits. That was the only downside to the meal — it looked pretty… just tasted like a carnivorous rabbit’s food.

I’ve been to a few other Ruth’s Chris’s before and this one looked more like a hole in the wall. If you weren’t looking for it, you just might miss it. Aside from the physical appearance on the outisde, the interior did lack some of the more romantic, dark, fine dining ambiance than other locations.
I came for a reception this time and found the food still very good. Our Filet Mignon’s came in hot plates. The meat was tender and smelled delicious in the buttery sauce. Our sides were mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and cream of spinach. I did have higher expectations for the cream of spinach because Ruths Chris makes them the best. but this time it wasn’t as creamy and it stuck like cheese a little. in terms of quality, temperature, and taste of my Filet. It was delicious especailly for a large party for a wedding banquet.
Service was very good and efficient. Enjoyable.

My day of beef was just completed. It started with Sarinana’s Tamales and Eggs for breakfast.
Lunch was Portillo’s for a dog and a beef dip sammy.
Dinner was filet mignon at Ruth’s Chris. 4.5 stars.
Greeted by a cheerful staff, we were sat at a big table in the center of the room. This place is known for wonderful service and were not disappointed. One guy for bread and water, another for cocktails, another two for the wine. A truly professional staff dedicated to a wonderful dining experience.
Blue cheese olives in a dirty Ketel One martini. Blue cheese wedge salad. Not remarkable, but very good. The petite fillet was perfectly done. Pink through and through, not raw in the middle. Medium was the right call. Lots of haters out there who dislike the butter finish but it was really good. The Gulf shrimp side portion was a great call, too. Nicely seasoned, not overpowering.
Banana cream pie, nicely carmelized, and a delicious bread pudding were passed around the table.
The entire evening was wonderful, but when it comes to a top of the line steakhouse, I want perfection, hence the 4.5 stars.

Never go to Ruth’s Chris drunk.
Somewhat (very) inebriated, a few friends and I took a cab to Ruth’s Chris for dinner. The server asked if we’d like some water. Dehydrated and sloppy, we all said yes. The server brought a carafe of water which we slammed in a few seconds. «Another?» the server asked, «yes please!» we responded in unison. This went on a few times throughout the night. We probably had eight to ten carafes of water.
We get the bill, and lo and behold. This water was bottled Fiji brand water! I’m okay with paying fifty bucks for a nice piece of meat at a steakhouse, but fifty bucks for water?!! The server should have been upfront and asked «tap or bottled?» instead of slamming us with his silent upsale.
Oh, and like everyone else said, the steak is overrated. If you like butter, then this is your place. The steaks are smothered in butter rendering it on the verge of being inedible.

***It is nice to get away from The Strip to have a meal, but the food at Ruth’s Chris is not that great; the steaks are too buttery/​dry and too expensive (though I don’t believe they have them in Vegas, I much prefer Morton’s and Mastro’s to Ruth’s Chris)***
I first experienced Ruth’s Chris in Beverly Hills many years ago and enjoyed it. Since then I have been back to Ruth’s Chris at the Beverly Hills location (once) and this Las Vegas location (twice).
My experiences since that first visit haven’t been good. I have found the steaks to be way too salty and buttery. In addition, they are a little dry for my taste. Everything else (from salads, sides, desserts) are mediocre at best. If you are looking for an expensive chain steakhouse to go to, I think you are better off with Arnie Morton’s.

I was disappointed with this restaurant. The food is not bad by any stretch, but it is not of the quality I expect from a restaurant in this price range and with such a reputation.
I ordered the special, which for me consisted of a house salad, ribeye, creamed spinach, and dessert. I also ordered escargot and we had garlic cheese bread.
The garlic cheese bread was very good. The escargot was flavorful, but I was hoping for escargot served in the shell (like I had in Paris). The ribeye was cooked perfectly, but the cut seemed to be of average quality. The creamed spinach was too creamy and somewhat bland. The dessert was good.
The only reason I ate here is because I had a $ 100 gift card to spend. Overall, it was definitely worth it because of the $ 100 discount. However, I have no need to return and there are so many other steak houses in Las Vegas to try.
