Restaurants near Historic Iowa City State Historical Marker

Enjoyed another dinner at Ruthie’s. Excellent service and food. Beautiful setting. Have to appreciate a restaurant that creates an environment allowing for communication; ceiling, carpet, upholstered chairs, tablecloths. The only place in town where the decibels are acceptable. Elegant and enjoyable.

First time dining here, came for Christmas Eve dinner. Definitely recommend!

Fernando took great care of us. French dip & fries yum! Recommend the Old Fashion.

Such an incredible experience - we can't stop talking about it ! We are looking forward to the next supper club! Eeeek!

Beautiful decor (especially with the Christmas decorations). Seated immediately - we had reserved a table for an early dinner and were the only guests at that time. Waiter was very personable and helpful regarding menu items. We ordered 2 drinks and were very disappointed: Not a lot of bang for your bucks, so to speak. Way too pricey for what we received. Minuscule amounts compared to what other fine dining establishments serve. Food was excellent, however. Ahi tuna, scallops, and side of lobster mac & cheese. All delicious and expertly plated. Dessert was turtle cheesecake and a large portion at that! Scrumptious! All in all, a pleasant experience. We do believe improvements in alcoholic beverages/cocktails are needed. One other suggestion is to serve some sort of bread (rolls, breadsticks, assorted muffins, mini baguettes, etc.), the amount commensurate to # of guests. It’s a welcoming touch that most diners expect. Other than that, we enjoyed our dinner and time spent!
