Took my wife to Ruth's Chris steakhouse & was completely satisfied with our Anniversary dinner. We each had a Ribeye & it was delicious with the sides of brussel sprouts & asparagus. The calamari appetizer was fantastic as well. We each had a cocktail & my brown butter old fashioned was excellent. We had Jenna take care of us & she was polite & very attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this place to family & friends! read more

Ruth's Chris Steak House - Steakhouses Near Me - Lake Grove, New York

This Ruth Chris is disappointing compared to the one in Manhattan or even the one in Garden City. I've eaten here three times and 2 times something wasn't quite right. One thing I can say about this location as the servers weren't properly trained as in the other locations that I referenced above because you do not get the service that you're honestly paying for.; the Wade staff is inattentive at best, empty drinks, and bad vibes. Nothing about the price point on this menu matches the decor. It's a nice restaurant but you're paying high-end prices for chain steak upwards of $80 per person. There are so many better steakhouses like Vintage in the area that deserve your money more. First time I went there was excellent. Second time I went there. The food was excellent and the service fell off. The third time the service and the food fell off... The second time we went there was no need to discredit the service to a manager because I'm not trying to take anybody's job especially a young kid. The third time we went, I complained and the manager did make it right! It was my birthday empty drink drinks, steak got dropped off by a bus or I ordered it medium hoping for a medium rare (which I normally do to avoid my stake walking off the plate, but this thing came out Super Duper well done! My husband already had his food at this time so I told him to eat and then they brought me out a black and blue steak! They literally had just seared it without cooking down any of the protein, it was inedible they comped my filet. Why pay extremely high prices for lack of service and quality? read more

Food , service and ambiance amazing. Ruth Chris is officially one of my favorite steak houses to go to. Its money well spent the service is on point and the drinks are good. We did have to send the lobster Mac and cheese back as you can see in the pic it had no lobster or cheese but they showed out when they fixed the plate and it was absolutely delicious! The tuna tartare was great , the steak cooked to our liking and juicy. You can also dine at the bar which is always busy. Go and enjoy you won't be disappointed. read more

The last time we went to a Ruth's Chris was five years ago and we were celebrating a job promotion. We went recently to celebrate the 21st birthday of a sibling. That said, this is a VERY expensive restaurant and I'd say only special occasion worthy. I do appreciate their fixed $60 menu. You can get a starter, entree, side and dessert. All were excellent portions. I even had to take some of my entree to go since we shared an appetizer and family style app. Delicious food! Can't wait for the next special occasion. read more

Another top notch meal. Started with Blueberry Mojito, very refreshing. Shrimp appetizer was delicious. I had one of the Summer Specials, Filet Mignon and lobster tail. Both cooked to perfection. We were thrilled to have Dylan as our waiter. read more

We came here early into service on Thanksgiving Day and the place was nearly empty. We were a table of four seated in a large circular booth. Again, the place was nearly empty, so we asked--since there were only four of us and this round booth was very tight--if we could switch to a four-top somewhere farther from the windows and doors because it was freezing. We were told, unequivocally, that they could not move us. They were "full." I realize not everyone is skilled in the art of logic, so let me paint the picture: if we're sitting in a booth meant for five and there are roughly twenty-five empty four-tops, the solution is not complicated. Give us a four-top and put whoever you planned to seat at that four-top into the booth we're relinquishing. It is a zero-sum game. You were not accommodating. You were obstinate and difficult purely for the sake of being obstinate and difficult. Food was fine. Service was OK but the management team was truly weak and weak to the point of define any sense of logic.... Table next to us did order the turkey dinners and had to send them back twice because most of the food was ice cold but maybe that's the way management wanted them to eat it.! We will not be coming back to this location. Management was ridiculously weak and meme worthy. read more

Had a lovely birthday dinner out with my husband and folks. This place is very spacious and open. Can be cozy if you get a booth. We shared the porterhouse steak with mushrooms and Brussel sprouts. If you're craving a good steak, this was the way to go! So absolutely delicious. For dessert I had creme brûlée and they brought out a mini cheesecake wishing me a Happy Birthday. No singing thankfully. Our waiter, Henry was very nice and attentive too. Overall was a great evening. Pricey place depending on what you get but great for special occasions. read more

Ruth's Chris Steak House - Really do I need to say more! The BEST happy hour meal with a glass of delish wine!!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Lake Grove, New York

Visited the location in Smithtown, NY. I had one of the best steaks I've tasted. The staff are extremely pleasant and accommodating. The atmosphere and decor are beautiful and inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a first class meal. Darden Restaurant Group is the best and they've earned my best review read more

I live how they finish their steaks with the sear of hot butter! Amazing! Food and cocktails were great! We will definitely be back! On a busy night be careful you do not sit at a table near the main flow of servers. It is not relaxing! read more

I went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for happy hour and they had great deals & the food competes with any of the other steakhouses in the area. The bartender was great & although the inside was new, neat & clean the ambiance suffers from a view of the mall parking lot. Other than that it's all good. I feel like if my priority is just a great meal without all the pomp & circumstance of some other places I'll just come here and avoid some of the bs. read more

Extremely disappointed by this location. Our party ordered appetizers, drinks, meals and desserts. Our appetizer never arrived, only a single soup for one person. The rest of us waited patiently.. but eventually the meal just arrived. We informed the waiter. He told us the kitchen was delayed in making it and asked us if we still wanted it. We were uncertain as the meal was already here. We decided if it was already made they might throw it out, so why not. I kind of expected they might comp the appetizer for the mistake. Nope. No such luck. The $20 was worth the loss of a customer I guess. Given all the food and wine.... with the bill over $400... seems like a poor decision. Mistakes happen. No one was upset or angry, but now I see why people throw tantrums. Apparently it's so the business takes accountability. The waiter overall wasn't good. We still left the standard 20%, not wanting to punish the kitchen (I assume they split tips) . This guy wasn't good. Steak was cooked pretty good. Mine was slightly over temp but I was afraid to send it back for fear I might not get it back from the void. In the end, I don't think I'll come back. I would rather spend the $500 somewhere i feel valued. read more

I made a reservation for my mothers bday and let me start by saying we usually go to Ruth Chris every year in garden city but this time we tried the lake grove location and my server name was Malik Now Malik seemed as if he was new when taking our order we were a party of 9 and I personally ordered a ribeye steak (medium well ) the steak came out WELL DONE. I expressed how I felt to Malik and if he can resolve it I assumed he was going to get a manager but a manager never came to the table to apologize for the inconvenience He also forgot our desserts that we ordered and proceeded to bring out the bill and to go bags I am not happy with the outcome at all read more

AWFUL SERVICE -- EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING My family and I dined at Ruth's Chris to celebrate my brother's birthday and the experience was terrible from start to finish, primarily due to our waitress, Michelle. Michelle was not attentive, warm, or polite at any point during our meal. Two of our steaks were cooked incorrectly. When we brought this to her attention, she said she could have them remade, but that we would need to take them to go because it would take a while. That response was shocking. Why would anyone want their freshly remade steak boxed up when they are dining in and paying premium prices? On top of that, Michelle never asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. I had to get up from the table mid-meal to inform the manager that it was my brother's birthday and request a dessert with a candle. To make matters worse, my mom's meal included a complimentary dessert, and Michelle never once asked which dessert she wanted or offered any options. Later, when Michelle came to clear the table and asked if we were ready for the check, we said yes--assuming she would bring the birthday dessert to the table and then the check. Instead, she returned with the check and the birthday dessert in a TO-GO BAG. Completely absurd. In what world does a server package a birthday surprise to go when guests clearly came in to celebrate? It was thoughtless, careless, and ruined what should have been a special moment. Ruth's Chris is known for fine dining and high standards, but this experience did not reflect that at all. Management seriously needs to address Michelle's service. 0/5 stars. Would not recommend based on this experience. read more

My family and I went here tonight for my birthday dinner. It was quiet for a Thursday which was great. Upon arriving, the table was covered in birthday confetti and I received a handwritten card which was a nice touch. We all jumped right into entrees. While most ordered salads, my husband and I ordered steak. First off, WOW are the plates hot or what?! 500 degrees to be exact. My bone-in filet was cooked perfectly and was easy to cut. My husband's ribeye was juicy and delicious. Don't bother asking for steak sauce - it's just A1. A wonderful night was had by all! read more

We had a great experience celebrating my husband's birthday with a dinner for just him and I. The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional. Our waitress, Victoria, was very attentive and friendly. We were not able to stay for dessert due to after dinner plans, but she still came over with a small cheesecake with a candle! The manager also came over to make sure everything went well with our meal. read more

The stars must have been truly aligned because my dining experience was absolutely flawless! My husband booked a reservation to celebrate my birthday--something low-key but still very fabulous. From the moment we arrived, everything was on point. The hostess greeted us warmly and seated our party of three right away. When I got to the table, it was decorated with confetti and a birthday card displayed in a place card holder--a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the evening. Our servers, Hannah and Alyssa, were truly exceptional. Both were incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, explained everything in detail (even down to the plate temperatures), and made sure we were well taken care of. Thanks to them, I enjoyed not one, but two perfectly made French 75s and got a little extra bread--because it's the little things! The General Manager even insisted that my dessert be on the house, which was such a kind gesture. And let me tell you, my Tuna Mignon was cooked perfectly medium rare--absolutely delicious. Every dish at the table was a hit. I've been dining out since 2009 and this is the first time I've had a completely flawless dining experience. No critiques. No complaints. Just excellence. Both the General Manager and Restaurant Manager Kenard were also very hands-on, checking in with guests throughout the evening, which I appreciated. The music, the menu, the vibes, the service--everything came together to create the perfect birthday dinner. Thank you for making my celebration so memorable--and for introducing me to my very first French 75 in the most unforgettable way! read more

Steaks and chicken were amazing. Atmosphere was okay. Service was top notch. However I can't get past the price. $385 for 3 people plus tip. Not used to paying that much for a meal. read more

Food (7/10): Although the steaks were cooked perfectly, I've had much better quality cuts for the price (we ordered the ribeye and NY strip). Apps and sides were acceptable, nothing incredible for the price. Service (3/10): Our waiter was relatively friendly, though service overall did not feel premium especially for the price. Food took over 45 minutes to come out after ordering, and we were rarely checked in on. I regularly receive better service at Outback. Overall: I will not be visiting this location again. I've had positive experiences at other Ruth's Chris locations, however this one simply isn't up to par. I cannot justify the price for above-average quality steaks and subpar service. read more

Great steak! Sides were ok, nothing I have to have again. Dessert was eh! Worst service ever to be told I must have loved my salad because I finished it. Asked if I wanted my dessert to go! Also told that the dessert was microwaved! I understand food is microwaved but hearing it sounds so cheap and something I could have done at home. read more

We attended a medical meeting in the private room off to the far right. Excellent service. Before the event we had a cocktail at the bar which was well made. Bar staff is attentive, the area itself is huge, we would return more often to this space if we lived remotely nearby, which we do not. Festive atmosphere at the holiday time. The food was not as wonderful as some of the other steak houses.. not the 16oz. Ribeye, or the potatoes/creamed spinach. Again, staff was warm & attentive, which we appreciated. read more

Ruth's Chris Steak House - GG Martini & a Manhattan - Steakhouses Near Me - Lake Grove, New York

This was my first time eating at a Ruth Chris Steakhouse, so I cannot compare it to the other locations. I was a bit disappointed with the atmosphere at the restaurant. I booked reservations for three, approximately 4 weeks ahead of time. We were given a snug booth directly adjacent to the noisy bar. AND it was during their Happy Hour with sports playing on a large screen TV and people socializing. I could barely hear my dining companions. The hostess said she had no other tables available. The waiter was a newbie, having only started 6 days prior. He was pleasant and attentive, with a few hiccups along the way. I am not a steak eater, so my choices were extremely limited, but the others in my party enjoyed their steaks immensely. I ordered the stuffed chicken breast which was very good but not what I was expecting. I ordered a complement of grilled shrimp which was in definite need of improvement, and the chopped salad. It was delicious but the blue cheese was overwhelming. For dessert two had the Creme Brule which was tasty but did not enough crunch to the torched sugar topping. The third in our party had the New York Cheesecake which was nothing to write home about. So, in all, here is the breakdown of my experience: Food: B+/A- Service: A- Atmosphere: C Price: C- (Overpriced soft drinks and generic beer) Total bill for a family of three: $453 Suggestion for improvement: If someone is spending $75 for a steak, he/she shouldn't have to pay $14-$16 for a side of veggies or mashed potatoes. It should be part of the entree. read more

Service: our waitress was very nice and generally did a good job. But it seemed like it took awhile for everything. Drinks: I was not impressed. Ordered the gamblers old fashion...too much ice, taste was off. Someone in my party got the sidecar...way too much ice but decent. I didn't drink my old fashioned and ordered a Negroni which turned out to be better and cheaper but also not the best or even close to the best I have had. Food: just okay. Everyone's steaks were not cooked as asked. Our crab cake was cold in the middle. The au gratin potatoes were decent but the cubed potatoes just rubbed me the wrong way. Lobster bisque was blah. Atmosphere: nice ambience. And they were very accommodating with our party which included 3 kids. But for the nice atmosphere and prices I would expect more from the drinks and food. read more

We had a wonderful meal at Ruth Chris in Lake Grove last night. Our waitress Alyssa was exceptional, and notice every detail .

Visited restaurant during their Happy Hour recently. Our party was warmly welcomed by the hostess. Warmly greeted by our server who explained the Happy Hour menu and what drinks were included on the menu. Ordered the cheeseburger from their Happy Hour menu which was cooked to perfection and was reasonably priced at $16. The cocktails were excellent and again reasonably priced. Restaurant layout was laid out nicely with a separate bar area with tables and the restaurant area on the opposite side of a dividing wall. Restaurant lighting was a little low for some of our party but set the right atmosphere. The servers were extremely attentive and professional and offered menu suggestions for some of our undecided members . First time I was there and I'd certainly would recommend the restaurant to friends and will return myself. read more

We got so excited when a Ruths Chris opened closer to our home because we are big fans. I was a little disappointed that the ambiance wasn't in line with that of the Garden City location because there is really nothing else like that location around and it has a very cool vibe. This location felt more mass produced to me. (Which is fine, just wasn't what I was personally hoping for) It is still a beautiful restaurant. Beyond the ambiance, the service was awesome! Our waiter was on point the entire meal. Our food was delicious as always. My filet always comes out on a plate of sizzling butter, and to me that is a dream. Overall the food and experience was exactly what I hoped it would be and we are still very excited to have a location close to home. However, we will likely go out of our way for the vibe of Garden City next time! read more

Food was ok. My steak was not cooked the way I requested it when I ordered. The table next to us said the same thing and also said their steak is NEVER cooked correctly.
