    David, our server was amazing. He made us feel very comfortable and kept us up-to-date on our meal because it was a very busy evening.

    Overall the service was exceptional. Ruth Chris is no longer consistent. All the tables around us received extra Thanksgiving leftovers, but of course, we did not. Disappointing, especially, considering the number of years we have patronized this particular restaurant.

    We were seated at a table by the bar which was not great. My husband had the sun in his face the whole time despite asking for the shade ti be lowered. The champagne was served warm, also not great. The food was fine. Our server, Matthew was really great except that he let our bottle of champagne sit on the counter(which I could see) for almost 15 minutes. Not sure why the delay in bringing it to the table and serving it.

    We had rsvp but it wasn’t ready for us even though we got there 5 mins before rsvp. We waited over 20 mins before being seated.

    Dirty martini wasn’t dirty, bread was delicious, Ruth’s Chop salad was good, t-bone steak came out really rare when I order medium rare+, colossal crab on top was not good because the crab meet was hard, not soft, and drenched in garlic butter. Great cheesecake and berries and cream desserts. Service was slow- my iced tea didn’t get refilled a few times unless I sought the waiter out and asked for refills or to remove empty plates.
