    I took my fiancée to Ruth’s for her birthday, drove up from Medicine Hat, and hadn’t been here prior. I read some reviews, and the only thing that I had read that was “negative” was the “sticker shock”. To be fair, it is pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for! The food was absolutely outstanding, and our waiter - Chris - was incredible! I have definitely never had a tenderloin that compares to the date night special. Do yourself a favour, take your significant other to Ruth’s on a Thursday prior to 6:30 and get the date night special. There is no way that you can go wrong with anything else on the menu either if this meal is any indication of the quality and care they take in preparing your meals. You will leave full, and completely satisfied - not only from the food, but the atmosphere and high level of service you will receive.
