The food and service were great, just a bit noisy, as expected, with many celebrating. The food format, small plate tapas now, changed since our last visit a year ago, we are from out of town, but still plenty to share. Highly recommended!

Great meal at Ruths Chris. We arrived in New Olrleans the same day we ate at Ruths. Since it was a travel day, we were looking for a nice meal close to the hotel. Our server was very attentive - the steaks were cooked to the color requested - overall a great experience this trip!
