Ruth’s Chris Steak House
“For an entree, I had the filet mignon with roquefort and port butter.”
“The only suggestion would be for it to be a bit more charred on the outside (or maybe I just got spoiled by Peter Luger).”
“The sides were good but not as outstanding as the beef – I had mashed potatoes and we shared garlic green beans.”

Highly recommend for one of the best, softest, tenderest, delicious steaks ever!!
Enjoyed my birthday here, which happened to fall during NYC 2016 Summer Restaurant Week.
(See my photo of the special menu. And photos of the delicious meal!! ). So, that made my birthday even more fun for me. Hey, who doesn't love a fantastic bargain?!! Altho, my dear friend who was treating me, said that since I've wanted to try Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for as long as I've said, she was treating, didn't matter about restaurant week. Very kind & generous. Thank you Lauren!
Ok–we ordered from the 3-course, Restaurant Week Menu. Dinner, $42. This menu happened to have every item I had wanted to try!!!!EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS, WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC. Honestly, if you plan to visit NYC, come here for a delicious dinner, in spacious surroundings. Whether it's restaurant week or not, make a reservation!!
We both started with the "steakhouse salad"–
the steakhouse salad was delicious & beautifully presented. A fine assortment of greens. I enjoyed a yummy Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing on the side. Forgot to take a photo due to the birthday excitement of being in a lovely room at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, and being very hungry. The restaurant is quite large, I will definitely be back!! Our servers were very nice and helpful–Andrew and I believe, Alfonso.
We had creamed spinach as a side, and garlic mashed potatoes as our other side. One side per order.
We each really, really enjoyed the 8 oz. Petit Filet. This was so wonderfully delicious!!! This steak was served on a 500 degree, SIZZLING HOT PLATE–DO NOT TOUCH THE PLATE!! The steak had that bit of crispiness on top, and unbelievable tenderness inside. My "medium" was perfection, with the perfect pink in center of each slice I cut. I LOVED MY STEAK!!!! And so did my friend. I raved over and over about how delicious the steak was, with almost every bite…it was so soft & delicious. I'm definitely going back !!!
And for dessert, we had the Key Lime Cheesecake–delicious!! AND, A BEAUTIFUL SPECIAL BIRTHDAY DESSERT—WONDERFUL!!! A RICH CHOCOLATE–FLOURLESS ROUND, CREAMY RICH DESSERT, AND THE MOST WONDERFULLY , FRESH RASPBERRY SORBET. THE MOST WONDERFUL RASPBERRY SORBET I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!! And written on the special, square, white dessert plate was Happy Birthday, in Chocolate. Great Birthday Dinner!!
See my photos!!
Wonderful steak house with excellent staff and delicious food.
Each time I've come for dinner we were seated promptly and given excellent service. The wait staff really does their best to accommodate everyone. The atmosphere is great as well, its not too bright or dark and everything is spaced out.
Now for the food. Both times I've eaten here I have ordered the filet mignon and have not been disappointed. It is so tender and flavorful. For sides I have tried the mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, potatoes au gratin and their frites! Everything is very good and portions are plentiful, no complaints here.
I think out of all of the steak houses in NYC this happens to be my favorite one.
This restaurant is crazy expensive. I thought the steaks were pretty good, but for the prices I don't think it's worth it. I got the filet mignon which was $53! And it didn't even have any sides wtf? Also all their steaks are cooked the same with salt, pepper and butter. Even if you got other meat dishes, you have to purchase the sides.
It's put on a hot plate so it stays warm for your entire meal. I also had the sides of mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts. The mashed potatoes was tasty and the brussels sprouts were baked so they were crunchy and flavourful.
The service was pretty good at this restaurant, but similar to the tier of service offered at other high tier steak houses. In the end, it was almost $300 for 4 people.
I think it's only marginal than restaurants with $30 steaks and I don't think it's worth the incredibly expensive prices. Don't get me wrong, these steaks are pretty good! And they are flavoured differently from all the other steaks. Having the hot plate is pretty neat too. I think this restaurant has a good brand that it leverages to make them extremely pricey.
The wise old saying goes" This Sturgeon Full Moon on August 18th will make us want to howl."
The Yelp Elite Ruth's Chris Grey Goose extravaganza made me do a lot more than howl. I think there was some singing, jumping and dancing mixed in there too.
I was so fortunate to be invited to this absolutely amazing event.
This was a marriage made in Culinary Heaven with a five course sit down dinner over three hours with the most delicious food served with excellence and class complemented with just magnificent libations. Our amazing hostess and evening mc was the awesome Ana from Grey Goose. She joined our table #3 and the five of us had a blast.
Ruth's Chris is elite and in a league by itself . How could you possibly achieve another level of greatness? Oh yeah, partner up with Grey Goose and love on 36 of us fortunate Yelp Elite and other guests.
The tone was set when I arrived about a half hour early at 5:30 pm and was warmly greeted by two sweet, funny and happy hostesses named Laura and Vicky.
The private event was on the second floor where six tables had been set for a sit down dinner for us lucky, lucky dammmmnnnn lucky folks!
The first course was a Smoked Duck Breast Salad served with " Le Grand Fizz", a beautiful and tasty blend of Grey Goose Vodka and St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur w fresh lime juice finished with the fizz of chilled soda water. Simply put, Magnifique and my favorite of the five great and huge cocktails served.
The second course was dry chili rubbed salmon with a Pear & Cardamom Collins.( please see the photo with the description).
The third course was a stuffed chicken breast in the most incredible sauce paired with Le Lemon Mule.
Course #4 – lovely Filet Mignon accompanied by chèvre and blue Mac and cheese plus fire roasted corn. This went so incredibly well with Ruth's Dirty Goose and very potent martini containing the two gorgeous olives.
Course Five was a Mini Chocolate Almond Cake and Dark Chocolate almond bark with Francois's Coffee Cocktail. The cake was rich and just one of the most sinfully delicious desserts I have had. I do believe that there was some moaning and howling in unison after my table mates first bites.The chocolate bark was fresh and melted in my mouth.
The salmon and the chicken were exquisite and testament to Ruth's Chris being a lot more than just a primo steak house. Gotta have room for this quality of desserts! You really do.
Our servers at table #3, Raino, James and Kay were the best of the best.
Everyone seemed to be having a great time and there was a lot of good energy and laughter on the second floor.
This was a classy event with just perfection in everything.
Finished around 9:15 pm last night. Got home at 10:00 after Course 6 which was that brisk 29 block walk south and east to Gramercy Park.
Course 7: I was at LA Fitness in LI at 6:30 am Friday morning ready for some racquetball and some serious cardio but with that huge smile on my face.
Thank you Yelp! Thank you Ruth's Chris!!
Their meat lacks the flavor and tenderness of other high end steakhouses, yet carries the same price tag. Simply does not compare to its competitors.
Appetizers are good, but nothing spectacular. Kinda boring choices. Lollipop lamb chops and crab stuffed mushrooms are worth trying.
Service is excellent.
I was impressed to see Allagash and Dogfish on their beer list. Wine list is extensive.
The pre fixe menu is a good bang for your buck, you don't see that at many steak joints.
It's a goto for me due to it's convenient location, but not even close to the top of my steakhouse list.
Chicks dig it though….
I think this is the best deal you could probably get for restaurant week lunch. I came hungry and left extremely satisfied. The service, the food, the atmosphere was nothing short of excellent. As soon as we sat down they brought the water and warm baguette (with whipped butter of course). It was an amazing start to our experience.
The pace of the service was perfect as they noticed when we were finished and checked in periodically.
-Corn Chowder-delicious with the baguette. not as creamy or heavy as I expected, which I liked
-Filet Petite(medium rare 6oz.) – AMAZING. I would suggest you order one level down as this was cooked medium instead of medium rare (if you want medium well then state medium).
The plate was sizzling hot and kept warm well into the meal so you can take time to enjoy the steak itself. Every bite was delicious…if you put the sides on the plate..it will heat up your sides as well (we got the creamed spinach and mashed potatoes which were ok, but definitely the highlight was the meat itself). One of the best steaks I had as the meat was juicy/tender, the texture amazing and full of flavor every bite, not to mention perfect portioning for lunch.
-Key lime cheesecake that came with the menu was great. I don't even like key lime flavors but I thought this was still very well executed. The pecan chocolate bark/raspberry sauce was a good contrast
I am a fan especially because as a renowned steakhouse they have no need to participate in restaurant week, nor do they need to offer their best for the restaurant week menu but it seems like they put effort into every dish they serve…which is a reflection of an amazing restaurant.
I was extremely impressed with my experience and would highly recommend this steakhouse for fancy occasions.
I was incredibly lucky to win tickets for CakeBread cellars Wine and Dinner Pairing through Yelp!What an amazing experience!
The food was heavenly! every dish was delicately put together to compliment a Cakebread wine. There was a wine connoisseur who gave us background information on each wine. This taught me more about the science behind wines which was great and necessary for me. Supposedly, the Pinot noir had a vanilla after taste but my I couldn't tell since my tastebuds are not developed for wine yet. It was delicious. I liked the merlot which was a surprise to me because usually I don't like how dry they can be.
The food is definitely among my top best. This experience is now going to make me look into wine and food pairing events. Super awesome!
Always reliable for a great steak! This was the first time I tried one in the city and I'm happy to say that it's as good as the ones I've been to in Jersey.
The wait staff is always spot on. They are quick, friendly, and efficient. Always right there to refill your glass without asking. I like that.
The steaks are always cooked perfectly and they are always mindful of people with food allergies.
Can't ask for anything more!
