    Ruth’s Chris is the only place my wife and I ever choose whenever we have anything to celebrate! This visit… It was our wedding anniversary. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect evening! We always get the porterhouse for two… And it was amazing! we tried three side items that we had never tried before… And everyone of them was delicious! This restaurant never disappoints us! We absolutely love it!

    Great menu, including some nice price fix deals. Very attentive server (they knew we were celebrating anniversary). Prices for a glass of wine however, were really very expensive. We dine out often and it was a bit of a surprise. $30!? We enjoyed our evening regardless. Definitely worth considering if you are going out to celebrate and splurge.

    New policy you are not allowed to split the check between couples. You have to evenly split the check. We had three couples and wanted to pay for our own each and they said their system couldn’t accommodate that request. I had to pay cash for the appetizer then we gave them three cards that we had to split the balance three ways no matter what you got to drink or eat. Horrible policy! If we were splitting a $100 barbecue dinner that would be different. They sell $100 steaks. Would go back if I couldn’t get into any other restaurant but as a last choice. Very dissatisfied.

    The meal was fine except they overcooked mine and another guest’s steaks. We ordered medium rare and received medium. Overall fairly loud place and they could use a couple more servers. I eat at Ruth Chris a fair amount so it was consistent to what I expected. Not the best, not the worst.

    Our dining experience was to celebrate my birthday. From the bar with Kathleen (bartender) to our dinner with Katie ( Server) we had an awesome time and the meal was delicious. Our brussel sprouts were a little over charred but we enjoyed them. I would recommend dining at Ruth’s Chris!

    We come very early so that we won't have to wait, but we spent far more time waiting than dining. In between every server event was about 5 or 10 minutes of dining and then 15 minutes of waiting. Eventually the tables began filling up and we managed to telescope the last steps by giving our credit card without ever seeing the bill. The food was as excellent as always, but I take that for granted when I pay prices that high for a small steak with no sides.

    Waiter was on top of EVERYTHING! He knew how to assist with all of our needs and worked very well with our children. He was very kind, knowledgeable and personable. Anything we needed he was there. A shout out to the gentlemen who helped keep our water glass full. He did not skip a beat and was very nice. The food was delicious as well as the atmosphere. The manager stopped by and checked on everyone. We will be returning to this location!

    Returning to Ruth Cris after several years away due to COVID, we found it much the same. Excellent service, great ambiance and fabulous steaks. The Lobster Bisque was overly salty and too thin. I had the petite filet and shrimp combo. The steak was done perfectly, however, the shrimp was blacken which is not my personal favorite way of cooking shrimp. My wife had a petite filet with reduced Pinot Noir with cherries and onions. She found it to be of a too sweet and intense flavor which diminished the flavor of the steak. The shoe string fries were wonderful. Overall it was a delightful experience, worthy of repeat visits.

    I Come to a Ruth Chris every year for a wedding anniversary and it’s been a different restaurant every year. And I must say the Myrtle Beach restaurant 2 years ago and the Raleigh restaurant 1 year ago and now the present location of which this review is being left for, in Durham did not disappoint!!!! Everything was absolutely delicious. Love the fact you have a dress code to even enter this high dining restaurant. Thinking about changing the tradition to 2 times a year instead of once a year because the food is so good. The service is wonderful as well, no complaints!!!!!

    The food was fine, but the acoustics were awful. I'm hard of hearing, and our server was quiet, and wouldn't come closer. We barely understood what she said. We couldn't hold a conversation. Lots of familyies with screaming children. Tables packed into an open room. Blaring, energetic music. This isn't a fine dining experience.
