Great Steaks, But Overpriced. Our dinner at Ruth's Chris began with the veal osso buco ravioli with spinach, which was nice though the spinach was still too bitter for my taste. We followed that with the petite filet and shrimp from the prix fixe menu and a ribeye. Both steaks were served on sizzling platters, buttery, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. The filet melted in the mouth, while the ribeye had wonderfully rich flavor. If you don't order one of the preset dinners, the sides are a la carte, but the portions are big enough to share. We had garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus, both of which were above average. We took a slice of chocolate cheesecake to go, which completed an excellent meal.
That said, it is still hard to justify the price you pay to dine here. The steaks were great, but weren't the best I've ever had in a restaurant.
The service is quite professional and very attentive--almost annoyingly so as no need goes unfilled for more than an instant.
The interior is a little too dark, but ambiance is romantic, with candles at the tables and a fireplace in the dining room.

Good, but I don't feel good about going there.. We had a lovely dinner at Ruth Chris on Saturday night. It was packed, we had a reservation and were seated promptly following a nice greeting. My wine was wonderful, our food was wonderful. We both had the filet, mine the petite, my date's the regular. They were cooked to perfection, well, sort of. Mine was supposed to be medium rare, his was supposed to be medium and it appears that they confused the two. No matter, both were delicious. The panko onion rings are huge! Too many for two, but delicious. Our server was very kind and very attentive and kind of funny. She and everyone else making sure we were never out of water or additional plates were a little too much a part of our experience for our taste.
Although our meal was good I would much rather eat at the Tornado Room, which I feel has better food over all and might be minutely less expensive.
Oh, the sizzling butter thing tastes good initially, but we both felt it was too rich to really be sustainable. Additionally, they use corn fed beef. I would prefer to eat grass feed beef for many reasons, some of which don't make sense considering that I ate a steak sizzling on a plate of butter.
Best of madison. Yes the prices are unreasonably high, but I think fair for what you get. Its not often, even at a great restaurant like this that I am am pleased with every little thing and I was. The apps, soup, entree, dessert, drinks. Everything was just spectacular. Usualy when i dine theres one dish I say i was too fond of. At Ruth's I was amazed by even the bread.
