"Been to most top rated restaurants in the Tampabay area and across the country. This experience rated as one of the best. Fantastic wine list, superbly prepared food and top notch attentive service. Couldn't ask for anything more. Worth every penny. As my reviewer name says, I am tough to please but Ruth's Chris met the challenge."

"Once again Ruth's Chris has provided for a wonderful dining experience. The filet, oscar style, was top notch....the cesar salad was delicious too!!! It does appear the au gratin receipe has been changed again, they were good, but not great...we like the old style much better. They were very friednly, great with our daughter, always made sure we had everything and I was very impressed with the beautiful red rose and gift certificate I received on Mother's Day to come back !! Outstanding, one of my favorite places to dine at."

"The food is amazing but the ambiance was ok. The tables and chairs are crammed and there is very little privacy as you can hear everything the next table is saying. You could practically rub elbows with the next table. I recommend a booth instead of the free-standing table and chairs. Great for special ocassions."

"Every time we go to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse we are thrilled. The food is exceptional and our waiter, Robert, makes it totally enjoyable. We choose RC for all our special celebrations above all other restaurants because of their dependable excellence in all areas. Round tables are best for sharing with others in a large group ...

"Ruth's Chris Tampa exceeded my expectations as the only other RC visited was in White Plains, NY @ the old Marriott. RC Tampa was great for a leisurely client dinner, party of 5, service was good, steaks and sides were very good, cooked to perfection and served hot. I know they emphasize steaks, but would like to have a few more seafood choices other than shrimp or lobster. Four star plus but not a 5, close but not a 5."
