    I had the lamb chops and my wife had Ruth's classic. 3 large chops cooked to perfection. The classic comes with salad, 6oz filet w/ 3 shrimp, vegetable and dessert.If you are looking for a special night out Ruth's Chris in Boston is an excellent choice.

    Food is always great. Service was ideal. The only thing I didn’t care for was be seated in the basement during the holidays.

    Thank you for consistently delicious offerings, quality service and cozy atmosphere on a very snowy winter night! Our waiter, ? Izzy?, was friendly, attentive and guided us through delicious wine, apps, mains. The young lady assisting him treated us very well. A special evening. We’ll be back !!!

    This used to be our favorite place. Not so much now. Everyone is nice, the steaks are awesome bit the rest needs to get back on point. Slow service. Ran cakes fishy. Onion soup barely warm. Garlic mashed potatoes Cold and dry. Servers need training and to up their game. Desserts not impressive. Rather disappointing

    We had an awful experience considering we have been going to Ruth Chris in Boston for at least 15 years. I have taken ach of my daughter’s there for their birthday. So we went the other night for my daughters 21st. We could never locate our waitress. I asked my ribeye to be medium rare and it was well. Our waitress nearly forgot that 2 of the 5 of use included dessert and never acknowledged it was a birthday. (Don’t worry afterwards we went to Vinny T’s and they served my daughter a dessert v Celebration and sang “Happy Birthday” to her).

    Both of our baked potatoes were over cooked, not fluffy and were’t hot enough to melt butter. The staff was kind enough to replace them with mashed potatoes however I come to RC for steaks and a great potato. My Tbone was good but not what great like I normally get at RC. Pam’s filet was excellent Kitchen staff needs to pay closer attention to the little things
