    I have been to both this location and the downtown location several times.  This is definitely one of my favorite steakhouses in St. Louis.  The downtown location is nice, but the Clayton location seems a bit more upscale.  While everything is a la carte, the portions are large.  My wife and I usually split a salad, each get a steak, split one side, which ends up being plenty of food.  If we have enough room left we'll split a dessert, which are massive as well.  My wife likes the carrot cake, which is big enough to feed a family of four.  I've seen people get several sides along with their meal, but most people end up taking those home for lunch or dinner the next day, which isn't a bad thing by any means.  Overall, the flavor and the portions of food you get at Ruth's Chris are tough to beat.  I would highly recommend this place to all of the steak lovers who haven't experienced Ruth's before.

    This was first time at Ruth's Chris. I am an avid steak lover but I usually avoid chain restaurants.  Although I am a fan of Capital Grille or Delfriscos, Ruth Chris was a sore disappointment.  I was out with a group of six guys.  I usually order NY strip medium rare.  Sadly, four out of the six steaks ordered were over cooked.  It didn't help that the overcooked steaks came out on a hot plate which further cooked the meat.  Maybe it was the overcooked meat but the quality of the meat was by far the poorest quality meat I've had for a $40+ steak.  It tasted like USDA choice steak you would buy at Schnucks.  You go to nice steak restaurants for aged steaks that are beyond USDA prime quality, and that's certainly not what we got at this chain steakhouse.

    Went back here a few times, definitely feel like it's improved. Or maybe the service has improved. I don't know!

    I usually go for happy hour. I think it's 4pm - 6pm Monday through Thursday, and if you go Friday, it's all day happy hour. I got the Filet Oscar again which is fantastic! Tiny amount of meat but I really cannot stomach to eat their full-size filet without becoming ill afterwards from all of the rich butter and so forth...so the small one is ideal for me.
    Also tried the carpaccio which my friend ordered. Loved it! So awesome. I was really impressed in general with their food offerings at the Yelp event here last year on the patio. Drinks were great too, and lately I tried something with creme de cacao white  chocolate vodka, whipping cream, and fudge. It was fantastic! Both Dominique and Yens are great bartenders. They make really tasty drinks. Yens is fun to talk to, haha.

    I would definitely go back but only for the happy hr prices.

    Recently I wrote a review on Ruth's Chris. I gave 4 stars despite being snubbed of a   coat check. I felt really insulted, but I still could not go any lower, as I truly am a huge fan of this company, and have been for years.

    When I came home I found myself stewing about this. I went to the web site where they have a place for comments. I shared my experience and expressed my disappointment with the inconsistency of serving guests.

    The next night, I recieved an email from the manager. He apologized and asked me to respond back with a time to talk with me on the phone. I wrote back in further detail of the whole experience. I told him I have been, and still am, a true fan of Ruth's Chris. However, when you command top prices across the menu, that does not leave any room for error. I also stated that after my last visit, I  wrote comments to the company giving a glowing report. I told him I was not looking for any freebies, just awareness in treating guests consistently.

    The following night, I got an email from the General manager. He thanked me for my passion of Ruth's Chris and the feedback to use as a tool  to learn/teach. Whoa, this guy is good- he knows how to stroke the feathers. It was really a nice sincere note. He said he would be sending me something if my address was correct from the original email. I knew I did not send my address, as I left the personal info blank. I did not respond back because I stated I was not looking for any compensation.

    What comes in today's mail? A thank you note and a gift card. I guess if you want to find someone you can and he did so pretty quickly.

    I think more restaurants should take their cue from feedback as Ruth's Chris did. They did not get defensive. I do believe they will look into improving on this issue. Anyway, I felt people should know how classy they responded!!

    This was my second time coming to Ruth's Chris. My family and I came 3 years ago on Christmas Eve and had a great experience. The service was top notch, the food was amazing, the timing was great, and the atmosphere was absolutely perfect.  This left my parents with an everlasting great impression.  SO when we had family come in town - without a doubt we took them to Ruth Chris' for the same great quality food and experience.

    I originally made an online reservation for 7:15.  We were running late so I called at 6:50 to have the reservation pushed back to 7:30 or 7:45.  This phone call set the precedence for the rest of the evening and I should have known just to cancel my reservation.  A young girl picks up the phone and I tell her that we were running behind and if we could move our reservation back.  She answers me back in a sharp tone "This reservation is for Leslie?" "No ma'am I am running late can we move our reservation to 7:30 OR 7:45?" "Yeah, okay we will see you then." "Excuse me ma'am was it for 7:30 or 7:45?" The girl answers "45 - bye" and hangs up the phone.  Okay? I'm sorry I bothered to let you know that we were running behind? I'm sorry that I bothered you to do your job? I can't believe that she HUNG UP the PHONE on a customer!!

    Half of our party arrived first and I later arrived with my parents.  Our servers were attentive and were always present.  Since we had 7 people in our party - we got the recommendation to get the Appetizer Sampler and Gumbo.  Which made sense since we had so many people with us.  It was absolutely delicious!  We looked on the menu and didn't see that it was listed so we asked to make sure that we understood the waiter.  For our entrees we ordered 2 ribeyes, 1 cowboy ribeye, and a porterhouse all to be cooked at MEDIUM RARE.  Given their large portions this was more than enough for 7 people to split and share.  Also, we ordered 2 sides since they came la carte, which was not a problem.

    When our entrees came everyone was floored by how large the portions were!  The porterhouse was cooked perfectly and so was the cowboy ribeye.  It was the perfect red center.  As for the two other ribeyes we order - it was a disaster.  My ribeye was not only NOT medium rare it was MEDIUM WELL?? My dad's steak that was ordered to medium rare came out WELL DONE - it wasn't even pink in the middle.  Given that they were 40+ dollar steaks we decided to send them back.  The manager came over to say that he was sorry that it happened and said that it would take a few minutes for a new one to be cooked.  Did I mention that we came in on a Monday evening?  It wasn't a weekend in which I understand if they were slammed.  I think there was a collection of maybe 15 tables (and I am being generous).  It took 20minutes for our medium rare steaks to come back to us and we were already full from snacking on our other steaks and side dishes.  Yes the steaks did come back at a perfect medium rare and we were pleased.  The manager said sorry a million times and we understood that mistakes happen.

    After our meal - we asked to have our steaks and sides to be wrapped up since we already full by the time that the new steaks came out.  The waiter whispered to my father if we would like to see the dessert menu but we said that we were too full.  Then our bill came.

    This is when I threw in the towel.  Maybe my expectations were too high but I ASSUMED that something would be comped.  Our steaks were awfully cooked and we had to wait a ridiculous amount of time for a Monday evening to get new steaks.  Nothing was comped.  Not even a free dessert - it's no wonder this chain is going down the tubes.  Then we looked closely at our bill - our waiter "lied" to us about the sampler platter.  It was a not a sampler platter nor was it was even a special.  He just white lied us into purchasing 3 appetizers.  Okay yes it was good but if we knew that we had a choice as to what we could pick... why would we have to get the supposed sampler?  Instead he charged us for all 3 appetizers at full price as if we had ordered them separately.  UGH! At least be honest! It wouldn't be like we would be unwilling to pay for good food.  Our bill was over $400.  It felt like they assumed we would be skimping on the details and did I mention that we gave a nice tip?

    The experience doesn't end there.  When we got home with our leftovers - we saw that our waiter had thrown away our sides that we had barely touched!  Wow that was when I had it.  I rarely ever write reviews back but this experience was absolutely unacceptable from the hostess to the wait staff all the way back to the kitchen. I will not return to RC in the future and I will make sure that my friends and family know the experience and treatment that we received.  It is a shame that such a great chain has gone down the shitter.

    I would AVOID AVOID AVOID this place! STL has other GREAT local steakhouses and RC is possibly one the worst experiences I ever got.

    The service here is great, the food is good but the prices are a little bit out of this world.

    Let's start with the service. Our waitress constantly came to our table to check how we were doing and always made sure that our drinks were full etc. which was very nice. Even the bus boy was attentive, and if there was a problem he would alert the waitress immediately (he was actually a pretty funny guy too).

    The drinks were good. I got a couple of beers, and my fiancé got a couple of glasses of wine. Nothing to special about what we ordered except the prices.

    The food here is good, not excellent. The salads were great. I got some kind of spinach and bacon salad which was excellent, everyone should try it if you like bacon. Our side of lyonnaise were good, but honestly not worth the price at all, really nothing special. My steak was excellent, I ordered the Porterhouse. Very juicy and well cooked, although I don't think it needs to butter on top but that's just me. For dessert, we got the carrot cake, which is a massive slice of carrot cake. I like it a lot, mostly because I love frosting and it had a ton of it.

    Everything about this place is good, but it is hard to justify the meal for the price. The food is very good, and even great at parts, but with drinks you can easily spend $80-100 per person and I am not sure it is worth that.

    Ok, you're going back to 4 stars RC.  Last night we went back for another special occasion and this time no beads.  Bummer.  That was SUCH a great idea, why in the world did you discontinue it?!  

    Our waiter was just "meh" this time too.  Between his naturally quiet voice and the unnatural noisy crowd that night, we could not hear a THING.  Apparently he couldn't hear us either because my "Bone in" filet came out as just a regular filet.  The extra special service we have come to expect at this location just wasn't there at all.  How disappointing.

    The food was still delicious, and I wish I had another order of that sweet potato casserole for today!

    Had the Prime Rib dinner offered on Sundays only! Great place to bring the family. Lots of celebrations going on around our table. Will come back for happy hour specials during the week.

    I love the R Bar here.  The appetizers and drinks are amazingly good.  I recommend it for happy hours in Clayton.

    It's Ruth's chris...need I say more? The new R-Bar concept is really cool and it's an awesome place to hang out.  Really great happy hour from 4-6pm except for fridays, when the happy hour lasts from 4pm-close. $5 house wines, and $5 vodka drinks and martinis in any flavor you can imagine. $16 filet oscar, $5 sliders, and much much more. They have 1/2 price bottles of wine on wine down wednesday as well as a $7 burger. Yes I said $7 burger, and it's not your average run of the mill burger either. On mondays there is a preset menu for $30...yes I said $30. It's more than worth the money.
    The signature drinks are amazing and the white and red sangrias are my personal favorites.The Pyrat rum and Wildberry lemonade as yummy too.

    Items to try: Tuna poke, filet oscar, cowboy ribeye, sweet potatoe casserole, creamed spinach.crab cakes, Barbecue shrimp, porterhouse for 2, gumbo, and chopped salad.

    People to see: I suggest you sit in the R-Bar area or on the patio, and see Marcia, Tabi, or Sarah. If you should choose to sit in the dining room you should see Amy, Malyssa, Mike, or Marian.

    We went here for our anniversary dinner on Tuesday and I can't wait to go again. I don't know how I'll eat a steak elsewhere again.

    We ordered an appetizer of the crab stuffed mushrooms and they were really good. Then for our main course I had the fillet, medium rare, mashed potatoes, and the asparagus. We shared the potatoes and the asparagus because they are two big for one person to eat alone. The steak was cooked perfectly and was so tender and juicy. The mashed potatoes were also great. I tried hollondaise sauce for the first time and I didn't like it so I ate the asparagus plain but they were also good. For desert we had a sample plate of the cheesecake and the berries and creme. Both were absolutely delicous. My only complaint about that would be the chocolate cup thing the berries and creme come in, I wish would have been milk chocolate instead of dark. And then we got the carrot cake to go. I swear it was a 1/4 of the cake, took us two nights to finish and it was delicous.

    I would definately go again!!

    I thought I wasn't hungry.

    And then I ate it all. With a side of mashed potatoes.

    I loved the way they cooked my steak. If I order steaks at normal restaurants, I'll usually order a medium-well, but at nice steakhouses, I'll order my steaks medium. This medium was perfect. Not too raw, with plenty of flavor and juiciness.

    The steak was also perfectly seasoned. I actually asked for a small Worcestershire sauce on the side but thought the steak tasted better without it.

    Side of mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach was alright. Nothing too special. I would have liked to try the creamed spinach, though.

    I think I'm ruined for life for every steak-eating experience at a great restaurant because I'll compare it to my experience at Peter Luger's. Buth Ruth's Chris does a fine steak. Mmm.

    I took my husband here to celebrate a promotion and we had a really nice time. The food was excellent. My husband loved his steak. I am a vegetarian and they have an excellent veggie plate option. I am not much of a wine drinker but I had the moscato and it was excellent.

    The atmosphere was very relaxing and comfortable and the service was outstanding. I would definitely go back for special occasions.

    Delicious.

    Came here for Clayton Restaurant Week a couple of months back with the gf.  Service was spot-on: drinks continuously being refilled, being checked up on, but not obtrusively so.

    I love Ruth's Chris bread... I don't know what they put in it... but it's like bread crack.  Excellent stuff, I believe the two of us knocked off two whole baskets of the bread before our meal.

    The meal itself was great as well.  The filet mignon was perfectly cooked and well seasoned and I thoroughly enjoyed the creamed spinach.  

    Definitely would recommend coming back here, especially during Restaurant week.

    Shirl said she always wanted to go to Ruth Chris, so she went with Al for their anniversary. They wanted an appetizer and the only viable choice was a salad with Ahi, which they had no idea would be raw. When it was returned to the kitchen to be cooked for additional time, it was fine. (Al disagrees. He says just edible.). She yes the 5 bites of steak were edible. And that the steak at TGI Fridays would blow it away. She felt the ambience was old and plain. Al said it didn't come up to expectations for a Clayton restaurant. They needless to say will not be returning.

    Used to be decent for a business dinner.  Not any more.  Embarassingly bad service, people with small kids running around, food very average.  Disappointing.
    Bar even looks ragged.

    Ok, this is a simple man's review of a high end, steakhouse chain.  

    Was it probably the best steak I've ever had in a restaurant?  Yes.  Perfectly seasoned and cooked to temp.  It was 16oz of delicious.  

    Was it overpriced? Maybe....

    A birthday dinner for 4 with one drink each and no apps ran about $350. It was good but not that good.  For me, Ruth Chris is the type of place that I'm glad I tried and got to experience but probably wouldn't go again.  If you've got the money to blow (or the corporate credit card) by all means, enjoy yourself.  

    The sides were delicious too but nothing too unique.  Creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, butternut squash and I can't remember the fourth one.  The sides are easily big enough to share if you're willing.  We did so that all could sample all.  

    The service?  It was good, the hostesses were great.  Our server was surprisingly obnoxious.  The type of guy that tries to joke around so much you'd expect him to be covered in flair and rockin it at TGIF.  He definitely didn't match the setting.  Nice guy, but didn't seem like a match.

    Was it overhyped? I think so.  You don't get props just for making a really good steak.  If that is gonna be your thing then do it and do it well (which they do).  But to get props you have gotta do something original and I don't think they do.  I'm know there are plenty of other places to get good steaks and find something more unique to to go along with it via sides and experience.

    Ate here again.  Sat at the bar for dinner just because it's relaxed and Zac provides great service.  Was disappointed to find out he's moving out of the area.  He will be missed but I wish him well.

    The food was great.
    Chopped salad:  Always consistent and well made.  Great flavor.
    Ribeye steak:  Cooked slightly more than medium rare, but the flavor was still all it was supposed to be.  Got the mushrooms with it and they were fantastic.

    I had the joy of experiencing the perfect Cajun/blackened steak.

    It was perhaps the BEST steak I have eaten.  Juicy and perfectly seasoned.

    To top it off, the cheesecake was excellent too. I will go back again and again!

    Ruth Chris knows how to do steak!

    Finally getting around to writing my review of one of the most fabulous "Meat Eating" evenings I have had in a long time. A friend and I decided to have a "Steak Night" out. We chose Ruth's Chris because of a "Social Media" blast they had online for a $20.00 off coupon for their $40.00 Ribeye steak. The evening was perfect. Our waiter was exceptional, food was fabulous and the Ribeye Steak was exploding with flavor. I mean you can smell it on the plate for several minutes after it had arrived. Talk about mouth watering!  I can now say that the Ribeye Steak had much more flavor than Ruth's traditional Filet.

    Great job guys and thank you!

    Delicious. Steaks are always perfectly cooked to our specifications.  We love their Classics Menu. It changes some, but the last time we went, I was able to get a glass of wine, salad, filet, mashed potatoes and a dessert for $39.95.  Pretty decent deal (considering where we were dining).  Nice cozy booths and a classy atmosphere.  We often go early in the evening, before Cards and Blues games, and usually have the place almost to ourselves.  Makes it fun.  The service is always attentive, to the point of swapping out a white napkin for a black one, if you are wearing dark clothes.

    One of the top two chain steakhouses, in my opinion.

    I like that they have a variety of options.

    I don't like that sides are always extra.

    I like that they cook their meat true to temp (which should be a given for a good steak place).

    I don't like that the rare steak has a cool center.
    (It was a little toooo cool, but not as cool as this place was - <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/heartland-brewery-new-york-3#hrid:9gylsuMwNFvBwCd5b_gihQ">http://www.yelp.com/biz/…</a>)

    I extra like the Clayton Restaurant Week deal. Just the right amount of steak so that it doesn't feel like I ate a (delicious) brick.

    I extra dislike that the the temperature at this location is always off (hot or cold!)

    I always enjoy my visits to RCS. The service is superb from the maitre'd to the servers. The food is great and so is the wine - just what a steakhouse is supposed to be like.

    One thing that takes a bit of getting used to is the fact that when you sit at one of the large booths, you face the center of the restaurant towards the rest of the dining area. It can be a bit daunting at first because you do not want others to think you are looking at them (and there is nothing to do but that!) but everyone is so busy with their food and company that it is not a big deal.

    I took my hubby here for his birthday and it was a very very nice evening.  He had the porterhouse and I had the sirloin.  Beef good - beef friend (but don't tell that to my doctor  lol)  Everything about the evening was wonderful.  Service was great, meal was great (but expensive,he's worth it though) bread was hot and good, the side of sauteed mushrooms was wonderful.....awww heck! If you are going to go out for a special occasion or trying to impress someone - here you go!

    Maybe it's just me, but this is a very nice establishment so why were people dressed from really nice all the way down to shorts and tees???  C'mon people, if you can put up the cash for the meal at least do biz casual.  This ain't Bonanza.

    p.s. That blood orange martini was so good I wanted to lick the glass  :)

    My wife and I visited Ruths Chris Steakhouse on our anniversary in June.  The main reason we went there is I had a gift card that I'd received for Christmas or my birthday last year, can't remember which.  Anyway, I'll begin my saying that Ruths has a pretty good "deal" with its fixed price menu options which are priced at either $38 or $48, depending on the entrees chosen.  There are three entree choices (small filet, "mixed grill" or salmon, I think) and the fixed price includes choice of salad (three choices there as well), entree, beverage (coffee, tea or glass of house wine), side dish (mashed potatoes, sauteed mushrooms or creamed spinach (yuck)) and desert.  We chose the filets, I had mashed potatoes and my wife sauteed mushrooms.  The meat was done perfectly and the sides were very good as far as sides go.  Dessert was some sort of creamy something or other in a dark chocolate "cut."  The food quality was good and the service was very good as well.  Surroundings were a bit cheesy (too gaudy for my tastes).  While we didn't have drinks, my guess is that wine or alcoholic beverages would really trip the tab pretty high since entrees, sides, etc. are all ala carte and grossly overpriced.  Of course we knew prices were grossly high but we had the gift card so it wasn't so bad.  I had been a another Ruths Chris in another city and the food and service was good there as well, but the prices, grossly inflated. I guess I don't understand what makes a place think very high prices make dining better.  Steak is steak and it doesn't take much "know how" prepare and cook it well.  

    I am only giving Ruths three stars because of the gross prices and gaudy decor.  Everything was fine and the staff is very accomodating.  It's not the kind of place you return to time and time again, after all, who needs to pay more for steak than it's really worth?

    I must admit we spent a considerable amount of time trying to find another place to go...  that said,  the Tuna was up there with the best i have ever had,  and they went out of their way to verify the menu items I wanted to know if were gluten free.  Can't say I'll be back,  not sure next time I will be in STL,  however I definitely would return.

    I am consistently a fan of Ruth's Chris where ever I go, and the Clayton location is really no exception. The staff is well orchestrated, the valet is prompt, and especially in this location, parking is really not a problem.

    That being said, moving on to the important stuff...the food. I went with a medium-rare filet...and it was superb. Sides included creamed spinach (my favorite) and mashed potatoes (nothing really spectacular). Dessert was cheesecake with berries, and I kid you not, the cheesecake was about as big as my head. The boyfriend had to finish it off...the next day.

    I was a bit sad that this location did not have a decked out washroom like some of the other locations do. But I also did not notice the bar being extra smoky - we did go on a weekday though.

    This is one of the best restaurant chains I know, and after coming here a few times I know that the Clayton location definitely lives up to the name.

    The food was great, my steak was expertly cooked and remained hot throughout the meal thanks to the extremely hot plates.  My favorite salad is the chop salad, and we tried the onion rings, which were delicious (I had never tried them).  The sweet potato casserole is one of the best side dishes I have ever had, and the creamed spinach was pretty good too.

    The service has always been great and the atmosphere at this location is very nice.  Even though its a chain, Ruth's Chris can definitely provide a nice dinner.

    If I'm in the mood for a good steak I go to Ruth's Chris. When I go I typically sit at the bar and the bartenders are very freindly and chatty. I like the wedge salad with blue cheese dressing.. the lettuce is always cold and crisp. This time I ordered the fried calamari appetizer (which I typically don't do fried calamari) but it wasn't overbreaded and served with roasted red peppers. I also had the strip steak which was cooked perfectly rare. My only complaint is how smokey the bar can get.

    Despite being a chain, Ruth's Chris is one of my favorite places for a nice steak dinner because it's consistently good.  We recently went to the Clayton location for the first time during Clayton Restaurant Week.

    The food was great, the chocolate dessert was amazing and my wine selection (Riesling) was particularly good.

    The only complaints: the bar area was incredibly smokey -- I know STL isn't smoke-free so that's why, but it was kind of horrible.

    Never before had I ever sent back a restaurant meal...that is, until dining at RC in Clayton. They served me a piece of fish that they later admitted was probably frozen and not properly thawed (not fresh) and also admitted that it should have never been served. It had the consistency of an automobile tire.

    They essentially made it up to me by not charging me for it. They offered me another entree, but I was so nauseated from what they served me that I could not eat anything else. After my party for 15 was squeezed into a tiny room and rang up a bill for $1500+, that was quite generous of them. ;)

    Not only will I never dine at this RC again, I think I have lost a taste for the restaurant chain altogether. I think the quality and selection of food is much greater at Morton's, and for this type of restaurant, I will stick with Morton's in the future.

    This may be a chain, but it's one of the best places to get a steak in StL.  It may be pricey, but they are running a promotion right now that everyone should take advantage of - for $40 or $50 (depending on your menu selection), you can have a 3-course meal.  They offer this every night, so there's no reason not to visit.

    Steaks are cooked to perfection and arrive at your table still sizzling.  The lobster was THE BEST lobster I have ever had.  It was cooked perfectly, and the drawn butter is melted at your table.

    For special occasions, they will offer free dessert so if you don't take advantage of the special promotion, be sure to order something special at the end of the meal if you have space!

    Service is impeccable and this ultimately makes this a great dining experience.  Great food alone can't sustain a restaurant - our waiter Christopher was extremely polite and provided us great service.

    The restaurant was super about squeezing us in at the last minute after several of us had just flown in from LA. The martini they prepared for me was almost perfect. My rib-eye steak was closer to medium than the medium rare I'd ordered, but the flavor was still good. We walked over from the hotel where we were staying as this seemed a rather nice and safe location and the selection of restaurants in the neighborhood had me wishing we were staying a few more nights. They were great about calling a cab to get us back to the hotel when we finished and found it was pouring rain and thunder and lightening abounded.

    Absolutely amazing!  I came here with my parents & brother for dinner.  I made a reservation for 9:15 pm, but got there about half an hour early.  No problemo!  The staff were very very nice.  The level of customer service was really great!  The menu had a wide selection of choices.  The waitress made sure that the crab cakes had no real butter in it.  The crab cakes were good, but the raspberry sorbet was awesome!  Not too sweet, just perfect.  I nearly ate the entire thing!  My dad, who loves steak, raved about his steak.  The ambience was warm & inviting.  It matched the personality of a high class steakhouse.  I am pleased that they serve their sides family style.  It reduces waste, in terms of food, dishes & energy.  The amount of money that was spent for the dinner for the four of us was totally worth it!

    Last Sunday was Mom's day, and since the fanciest food my mom ever wants is from IHOP, I decided to treat her like the awesome human being that she is. During this rough economy, Ruth's has a $35 Prix Fixe special from 4pm to 6pm daily, and all day on Sundays. I ordered lobster bisque, the petit filet (7 oz of glorious aged beef), mashed taters, and raspberry sorbet, plus a glass of the house white wine. Mom got the mixed grill a smaller filet, grilled chicken stuffed with cheese and mushrooms, and a lovely crab cake), creamed spinach, and a chocolate mousse. This is one hell of a deal, considering a petite filet off the regular menu is $32. Service wasn't up to the usual Ruth's standard, but I forgive them as it was a fucking madhouse for the holiday. Now I need another excuse to go back, but will someone else please pay this time?

    I am going to try and be unbiased here, but it's going to be difficult since quite frankly, this is the least vegetarian friendly restaurant in the world.  I am pretty sure there is not one thing on the menu a vegetarian can eat and I usually end up being a wierdo ordering a baked potato and a side salad for a meal.  

    All that aside, back in my carnivorous days, this was the best steak in the city.  I still remember the way the filet practically melted in my mouth.  They cook their steaks to perfection and they are worth every dime.  

    I have to say, the main draw to this place for me these days is the martini.  They make an excellent vodka martini here, easily one of the best in the city.

    So sure it's a chain, but I never feel bad going to a chain if its a chain that does things well.  This happens to be a chain that does their food and drinks VERY well.  If only I still ate meat, or if they had SOME vegetarian options...I would probably bump this to five stars.

    All I can say is: I cannot wait until I can go back here!

    I had an absolutely huge, decadent meal here, and though I could barely walk out of the place it was completely worth it.

    Though they are known for their steak, I got the stuffed chicken. It was filled with the most amazing, rich cheese, mushrooms, onions and peppers. It was a giant portion and I couldn't begin to finish it all, but every bite was better than the last.

    The sides, which you order separately, were equally yummy. Their mashed potatoes were thick, buttery and filled with garlic goodness. Along with shrimp and stuffed mushroom appetizers, salad and cheesecake for dessert, this meal was fit for kings. Their mojitos were also good and an excellent beginning (and end!) to our meal.

    Let's just say I'm glad I wasn't the one footing the bill. It think it was more than my rent...man, am I spoiled!

    This is a lunchtime review.  I was impressed how far money went on lunch items.  I had the Kobe beef burger and it is now the best burger I've had in STL.  The service was a bit on the slow side but more than made up for it with quality.

    I'm used to going to the Beverly Hills (Beverly Blvd.) location so even though it's a chain, I thought there would be a difference in the service. I was VERY wrong. The servers were prompt and gave good suggestions. The only thing I didn't really care for was the booth we had. It was raised and faced all of the tables on the floor, I felt like I was on display, especially with the amount of food we were ordering. It was the only booth left and we did not want to wait. We had the Barbecued Shrimp, Porterhouse for Two, Fresh Lobster, and I can't remember what else but let's just say those dishes were the ones I remembered the most because they were so good. I definitely would suggest going to this location.

    If you want to feel like you're being served dinner by your younger sibling's high school buddies, come here.  For being a purportedly "upscale" kind of establishment, it was surprising to have such unpolished service.  I never expect to have my butt kissed by my servers or anything, but it was just a little bit ... weird.   It was almost as if there were a party going on in the backroom, and they drew straws to see which dude would have to come out to tend to the customers.

    I love steak.  Everyone in my party loves steak.  We all pretty much agreed that it was good but not great.  We paid for great and got overcooked beef that had been boiled in butter, onion soup that the French would never claim as their own, overpriced broccoli and not enough bread for the four of us.

    Oh yeah... we each ordered a different glass of wine from their "By the Glass" suggestions, just so we could have a mini tasting party.  They all were really really disappointing.  Nothing was skunky, but the selections lacked body, fruitiness, and clarity and tasted kind of like they had been strained over a combination of dirt and used coffee grounds.

    The company was great that evening, but we could have had that if we had never left home and hadn't forked out hundreds  of dollars for dinner.
