    Creamed Spinach Au Gratin
    Coleman O.

    We decided to eat at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for our business dinner while working in the Destin area. The restaurant is located on Hwy 98 a bit West of the outlet mall. The establishment is everything that you could want in a fine steakhouse. They even have a "wine room" adorned with bottles of wine on walls of glass. Really cool. We started our meal with appetizers of Escargot and Spicy Shrimp. The Spicy Shrimp were a big hit. I ordered a glass of Meomi Pinot Noir, and the only knock was that for $16, I expect a heavier pour. For our main meals, we ordered the Steak Skewer Salad and the Filet and Cold Water Lobster Tail. And for our side an order of Creamed Spinach Au Gratin. My Filet was cooked to a perfect medium rare and my Lobster was fresh and cooked to perfection. Absolutely delicious. Every aspect of our meal was on point, and we were thoroughly impressed by our entire experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    My husband took me here for my 50th Birthday dinner. It was the best food I had ever had in my life, dessert included. I had Surf n Turf and potatoes for side dish. I saved room for my dessert we ate every crumb it was soooo delicious! Now the bill lol around 200.00 but hey it was my 50th and YOLO I say!

    Chilean sea bass with sweet potato chutney . Delicious !

    Very impressed! Service was on point. Waiter was friendly and humble. Sometimes white linens can accompany an intimidating waitstaff, but this was not the case. Perfect wine recommendations and sharing options/presentation on a beautifully portioned porterhouse, that was perfectly done. We ordered potatoes au gratin and tasted our guest's sweet potatoes- both were incredible. Crabtini and wedge salad were great starters. Creme Brûlée was ok (I prefer a crispier top) but was a gift along with a chocolate cake for our anniversary, so no complaints! It was a really nice experience.

    By far one of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant! Everyone there was so nice. We were greeted and told Happy Anniversary by everyone. Our drinks were kept full, our service was impeccable, but, most of all, the food was outstanding. My filet was the best I have ever had - cooked to perfection. The side were delicious as well. Since it was a special occasion, we splurged and had dessert. I would definitely go back! It is worth the money spent.

    Not impressed

    Service is average and also the steak. The ambience is the better than the food and the service.

Our waiter was super friendly and they were very accommodating with getting a car seat chair for our newborn so he could enjoy dinner with us. He was also very attentive, easily explained the menu to us, answered any questions we had, and was very prompt at helping us with anything we'd needed. The food was phenomenal, presented very well, and tasted amazing. We had ordered the red fish (special for the day) and ended up getting key lime pie for dessert and we were not disappointed one bit. This is a pricey restaurant, $50 +\- per person, but you definitely get your money's worth with what you get. Overall, this is a great restaurant to go to for celebrations, date nights, special occasions, or just for that fine dining feeling. There's no dress code, but I'd personally recommend wearing your Sundays best (I'd wore leggings and a T-shirt and just felt underdressed). The restaurant was very family friendly so I loved that aspect. Definitely will be coming back to try more items from the menu!

I got the Daily Special (which was a Red Snapper stuffed with crab) and was great. I also tried the Destin Snapper, the Crab Cakes, and some of the Seafood Gumbo. All of which were very good. The Daily Special was my favorite. We had a larger group and did not have to wait at 7:00. The setting was great. Outdoor seating is along a bay, a great spot to view the sun setting. It does get hot out there if you go too early, we were there in July. Parking is extremely limited and they do have valet ($9 as of 7/2026). The line for the valet was very long. We got lucky to find a parking spot, but plan on waiting for parking in one way or another.

First time here for 2/3 of us and we didn't have a reservation (which is recommended) but we got lucky! Started with a delicious cocktail -Watermelon jalapeño martini, my husband had an old fashioned & friend had a traditional martini. They do have an extensive wine list but we aren't win people. We started with the Lobster Spring Roll which was out of this world! We could have ate several more of them. For dinner we each got an entree and shared all three meals. We had the lamb chops, the Ahi tuna and one of the specials which was a red fish with lump crab on top (that was my favorite! but all were really good) We enjoyed sitting at the bar (the tone was light and carefree) we were able to converse with the bartenders and other guests instead of being on the formal quiet dining room. I ordered a second drink bc it looked too good not to try -the pear martini and it was so good and refreshing! Would order again. We definitely visit again on future trips worth the price tag. Good quality food and beverages.

We arrived 15 mins late & once at the restaurant requested outdoors because indoors was very cold. From the few mins standing inside the place looked very nice perfect for a nice dinner or a celebration. We were the only people sitting outdoors. Our waitress kept checking on us however, I have never drank about 10 glasses of water waiting for my dinner. We placed our order at 8:10p our food didn't arrive u til 10pm. Unacceptable! We had to ask twice for an update. Once the food arrived at once some of us our meals were warm or not warm at all like the potatoes & broccoli which was my dish. I guess they have them sitting under a lamp waiting for everyone's food to be done. After we were done & requested our checks they had the nerve to include the 20% on each check. Was 20% deserved ? Absolutely not. A total of 3 hrs sitting there. Our server asked her manager to remove it c which they did & we gave a tip we felt was appropriate. She was not happy & stormed off. What if the outdoor space was packed? Would the service have taken 5 hrs? Very disappointed with this restaurant

Our server was professional and clearly doing everything she could, but she was assigned several large tables and was completely overwhelmed. It was obvious she needed help, yet no one stepped in to support her. As a result, we waited at least an hour and a half for our dinners. To make matters worse, our bill included a charge that shouldn't have been there. When we politely spoke with management about our experience, we weren't looking to get anyone in trouble--we simply wanted them to understand what had happened and make it right. Instead of addressing the excessive wait or the billing error in a meaningful way, management instructed our server to remove her gratuity from the bill rather than taking responsibility themselves. That response said everything. The problems we experienced were clearly management issues, not our server's. She worked hard under impossible circumstances and deserved support, not to have her tip used as the solution. We made things right for our server, and stressed to her that this was not her fault. The kitchen produces great food, and the restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. Unfortunately, poor management overshadowed what could have been a great dining experience. I hope they invest more in supporting their staff and taking ownership when things go wrong.
