Best Seasonal Restaurants in Travelers Rest

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience this Christmas Eve, Ruth’s Chris Steak House is where your search should end. Nestled in the heart of Downtown G’ville this iconic steakhouse transforms into a festive oasis, offering a sophisticated ambiance that perfectly complements the holiday season. The highlight of the evening, of course, is the food. Ruth's Chris is renowned for its unparalleled steaks, and this visit did not disappoint. We started our meal with the signature BBQ and spicy shrimp, a delightful prelude. For the main course, I opted for the Filet Mignon, cooked to a perfect medium-rare and served sizzling on a 500-degree plate. The crust was outstanding: a caramelized exterior surrounding a tender, juicy center that practically melted in my mouth paired with the sweet potatoes and my pomegranate martini was perfect 💫 To top off our meal, we indulged in the legendary Apple Tart — a rich, decadent dessert that perfectly embodied the spirit of indulgence. Each bite was a heavenly combination of texture and flavor, ensuring that we ended our meal on a sweet note. Overall, dining at Ruth's Chris on Christmas Eve was perfect!

The food was delicious. I had the Chilean Sea Bass. It was flavorful and practically melted in my mouth. The kitchen kindly accommodated me by preparing this without the usual bacon since I cannot eat pork. The she crab soup is outstanding. And, the desserts were worthy of the calories they contained. Our server, Phil, was attentive but not intrusive. He made the experience relaxing and enjoyable.

Food was amazing. Restaurant was super busy, so it took a while to get menus, but once we did, the experience was flawless. Have dined here many times and never seen it quite this busy.

The feast of seven fishes - exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed so many samples from under the sea! The swordfish bolonga, otoouz terrine , crabraviolo and branzino all were created slections to add to the many others we sampled over 7 courses. Of yes and the squid ink bread was such a delious surprice Congratualtions to Chef Josh Begley and his team along with the dedicated service staff providied an unforgettable meal and we can' t wait to return for the 3rd annual. But we will be dropping into to enjoy your creativitiy and take on Italian comfort foood through out the year. WELL DONE!!
