Thank you to CSI Wealth Management for hosting such a nice dinner event at Ruth's Chris! We started with the goat cheese and artichoke dip and bread, followed by a choice of ribeye, salmon, or stuffed chicken, with mashed potatoes and broccoli on the side. Everything tasted fresh and prepared to order, so the slight wait between courses was well worth it. I had the salmon and it was absolutely delicious. I especially appreciated that it was only lightly blackened and not overly seasoned. The portions were very generous too--most people left with leftovers! We finished with classic cheesecake, which was creamy and not too sweet. Friendly service, a nice private room, and a really enjoyable dinner overall. Parking is not validated and dress code is business casual to dressy. Ladies, wear something loose so you can eat up and enjoy your meal haha!
I knew we were going to have a great night the moment we set foot into the restaurant. We were greeted warmly by the folks at the front desk, and despite us being slightly early, we were not made to wait and were immediately led to our table. Our interactions with members of the staff was brief but meaningful. It's uncanny how they set the tone: they didn't overindulge in a conversation but it definitely was more than just transactional. It was clear that they set out to please their guests and we sure were. They made us laugh - Gary our server was witty, quick and articulate. Our favorites were the osso bucco ravioli, calamari (a little on the sweet side), cowboy cut and the porterhouse steak for two. They asked if we were celebrating anything and we said not really, since my husband's birthday was several weeks ago, Gary brought out a cheesecake specially for him! What a classy touch. I'm so glad that this restaurant seems to be thriving despite the economy, but what saddens me is how some of the guests didn't seem to appreciate the unspoken requirement of dressing up for a night out at Ruth's Chris. It was jarring to see one male guest turn up in a ratty shirt and tiny hot pink shorts. Oh well. Maybe I'm old school and believe that how we present ourselves in public reflects our self-respect or maybe these are just the times we live in. Regardless, I strongly recommend asking for Gary and Gabriel the busboy. They were attentive without hovering and clearly listened for details that we didn't think meant anything - and yet they responded by using them to make our night unforgettable. Even Matt the GM stopped by our table to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. We were stuffed with the most high quality food and treated like royalty. Our family left on a high that we are still riding.
This steakhouse is spacious, inviting, and knows exactly how to help you celebrate a special occasion! I've celebrated a birthday and Mother's Day here thus far; the attention to detail was next level. As an example, they pre-printed the birthday girl's name on her menu - she was so touched and it was an unexpected gesture, which truly made for a nice touch on an already splendid dinner. Prices are on the higher end, but fitting for the quality, taste and share-ability. Portions are generous enough. I always end up ordering way more than necessary, and people often leave with leftovers for later. My personal favorite is the sweet potato pecan/praline. YUMMMMMM. Give it a try if you like sweet potato and a nicely decadent glaze. You can't go wrong with the steak or shrimp here, as well. The filet mignon is divine. I wasn't too crazy about some of the salads and starters I tried, like the Brussel sprouts and house salad. Always best to plan ahead at a steakhouse and this one is no different. Make a reservation in advance and you shouldn't have to wait for long. Note which area you'd like to sit in if you have a preference. We tend to park in the underground garage across the street since finding parking in the immediate area can be a pain.
I would give 5 stars to the servers, waiters, and most of the workers were great. Hugo and Manny were great. They were friendly, kept checking in on us, and gave great recommendations. The one star is due to the attitude of a manager. We ordered the lobster mac n' cheese and unfortunately my husband bit into a sharp piece of lobster shell. We informed our server, who was very apologetic, and said he would send a manager over. The manager came over, and asked what happened, we informed him about the lobster shell in the mac n' cheese. The manager looked and my husband and coldly asked, "Well are you ok?" My husband said yes and then the manager walked away without an apology. He didn't offer to take the mac n' cheese off our bill. As we were leaving the manager James open the door for us asked how our experience was for dinner. We told him everything was great until the rude manager didn't offer an apology or comp the side dish. James apologized for the manager's rudeness and said he should have taken the mac n' cheese off our bill. I hoped James would have called and comped the side after the fact but he didn't. I'm glad he apologized for his rudeness of his manager and I hoped for a sensible resolution, but so far there's been nothing. I even responded to survey they emailed me after the dining experience and I still have not received a correspondence. I feel that the manager didn't take us seriously because we didn't have the usual look for the typical diners at this establishment. There's review from a month ago mentioning how they weren't putting people of color in the main dining room.
The food was amazing and the service was even better. Colleen was our waitress and she was very attentive and kind. We didn't wait too long for our food at all. Everything was 10/10!
We celebrated our belated anniversary (November) here tonight. Our first Ruth's Chris Steak House since Waikiki back in 2016. An all around better experience than the more touristy one we had in Hawaii. Friendly service, from our initial check-in and short wait, to our delightfully welcoming server Wally. With the floor manager Eli continually dropping by our table, making sure that our special night out was going smoothly. Finally great customer service for a high end steakhouse. And we enjoyed the food as well; for the most part. But there were a few disappointments: Complimentary Bread: No complaints. 3.5/5 Goat Cheese & Artichoke Dip: This was very flavorful but we could have used more than six pieces of toasted garlic breads for dipping. 4/5 $21.00 Blueberry Mojito Mocktail: Bittersweet but refreshing. After sampling mine, my wife passed on ordering the same. 3.5/5 $8.25 Sprite: My wife's beverage. 4/5 $4.75 40oz Tomahawk Ribeye: I agreed to order it medium well since we were sharing. I always order medium. Which was delicious, but as one Yelper's review did mention, with the steaks all arriving on sizzling hot plates they do tend to continue cooking beyond your initial preference. But still a very tasty and well seasoned steak. With plenty leftover for a couple of meals. 4/5 $164.00 2 Baked Potatoes: Although I had no real complaints with mine, my wife thought that her potato was old and had probably been sitting too long. 3.5/5 $30.00 Cremini Mushrooms: We both agreed that these were very disappointing. An acquired taste I suppose but we wouldn't order them again. 2.5/5 $16.00 Our Complimentary Shared Cheese Cake: Small, but more than enough for dessert. And very thoughtful. The assorted berries were an excellent accompaniment to the cheesecake. 4/5 All around, an enjoyable night out celebrating 44 blessed years of marriage. And with such a beautiful setting, we'd recommend this location.
Ruth Chris always has great deals. I took my aunt here for her birthday and we got the $60 deal and it was amazing. Arron, our server went above and beyond his job duties. He made sure we had happy hour prices during the time we sat down to dine. He catered to us without being overwhelming. He made our dining a fun experience. It's a little too dark inside but the ambiance is nice. Valet parking is expensive $15
I have not been to Ruth Chris in Pasadena in years!! But last night was definitely a great time with good company! The food was on point!! They have the $60 course meal!! What a great deal!! I got Caesar salad as my starter , double chicken breast for my entree, garlic mash for my side, and plastic cheesecake for my dessert. It was well worth it and very good. Everything was made fresh and it was super piping hot, which I love very good flavor and it was just amazing. From my drink, I had a lemon drop and it was made to perfection . The ambience was great and came during happy hour and stayed for a few hours to chill and watch the game at the bar. The service was exceptional from one to enter from the hosts to our server/Bartender. He was so phenomenal and very patient and he did not mess up on any of our orders. For parking, they have plenty of street parking in Pasadena on the street but I decided to do valet It was $15. I will come here for a good time !! And happy hour and just to have a good time!! I highly recommend!! -Marshay D.
Haven't been here is a while but wanted to try their happy hour menu again. Nice looking location but parking can be difficult since it is downtown Pasadena. Be patient and you may be able to find street parking. But be mindful of the parking sign requirements and meters. Sat in bar area for their happy hour. Nice seating area and good service. Our server checked in on us often. Food and drink wise the selection is good for happy hour. Portion sizes are also good - not big but not small. We enjoyed some seared ahi tuna, beef sliders, truffle fries, and whiskey sours - enjoyed them all.
Food was delicious but the service was fabulous! We had a party of 7 and was lucky that the private room was available. It was the perfect size for celebrating an anniversary and it gave us the privacy from the main dinning area. Let's talk about the service from Cora first (yes, the service over powered the food). Cora greeted us with her bubbly personality and took our drink order right away. After the drinks came, we got bread at the table without us even asking. Then she helped us open the bottles of wine and brought us a decanter. She was always on top of everything most of the time even before we asked. It's like she was reading our minds haha She congratulated us on our anniversary and brought us a celebration cheesecake. We can get into the food a little later. Cora checked on us throughout the night to make sure we had everything that we needed but not so much where you felt it was overbearing. It was the perfect balance! If you go, asked to be seated in Cora's section. The food was yummmm. It's been awhile since I've had Ruth Chris and it was still good just as I remembered. We did a family style meal and Cora had the chef pre cut the steak so it was easier for us to share. She also had a sizzling butter plate brought out to each of us so we can coat the steak with the oh so good butter. We left with our bellies full but what made the night was Cora....hands down one of the best services!
First time visitor to this location - 2nd time overall dining at a Ruth chris (it's been over 10 years) and the goal was to treat my mom out who was dining for the first time and craving a good steak Parking is available by street (please read the signs to avoid any issues), valet $15, or parking across in paseo parking structure Multiple indoor dining rooms both dim lighting and bright lighting, full service bar and flatscreens, and 2 outdoor tables in front of the restaurant Reservation highly recommended or walk in is available. Yes it's a dressy restaurant however be comfortable as there were folks dressed up, in shorts or jeans, and other types of apparel. Had reservations and the Hostess was really friendly and provided strong review for the Thanksgiving dinner - we were led to the west wing of the restaurant but was seated near the entrance of the doorway but it's a holiday so out of anyone control. The food was solid all the way through! Ordered the lump crab appetizer, french onion soup, 6oz filet and shrimp, garlic mash potato, 16oz ribeye, sweet potato casserole, and cremini mushroom. Dessert was pumpkin pie and ice cream and crème brûlée. Complimentary warm bread and butter provided. Everything tasted fresh to order. The lump crab was sweet and hand made, size of a golf ball, and came on a sizzling hot plate. The french onion soup was comforting with melted Swiss on a crouton and caramelized onion in the bowl Steaks were very tender and cooked to requested. Both on a sizzling hot plate and appreciated the constant warning of the plate is extremely hot. Melt in your mouth, very easy to cut, rich buttery, treated with care, cost of steak maybe high but the quality and flavor was worth it for a luxury treat. The sides as described in the menu were flavorful, shareable, fresh, and presented with simplicity. Food checked everything, however the server we had lacked in multiple ways: no introduction from server, not asking if first time visiting which it was for my mom and me my second time in 10 years , not explaining the menu specials offerings available recommendations or how things worked, timing was off when the main entrees and sides were being brought as the server assistant was not sure if they should serve or not, the server not checking back after 2 bites or 2 minutes and refilled my water was left toward the end of service after I was drinking my moms. The main reason I bring up service as my mom is overhearing how other servers were engaging with their parties and how it differed a bit. In the end I would certainly return as my mom enjoyed her entire experience which matters the most (and wants to come back again), just somewhat surprise with the service receive. Thank you for a wonderful meal and dining experience.
Had a quick dinner last night at the Pasadena, CA location. I had two guests. Ordered Brussel Sprouts, Calamari, Crab Cakes and. Ribeye steak. All the food tasted great and the service was attentive. Order the Crab Cakes and the Ribeye Steak. Rating: 5 Stars
Visited Ruth's Chris Steak House while in Pasadena. The atmosphere was upscale and elegant, and the service was attentive and professional. We went to celebrate an anniversary, and they truly made it feel special from start to finish. There was also a special promotion happening, which made the evening even better. Tried the steaks -- cooked to perfection, exactly as ordered, and full of flavor. Overall, a wonderful way to celebrate a special occasion and absolutely worth a return visit. Saluti

Elegant ambiance. We were awarded a gift card and decided to visit Ruth's Chris Steak House on a Saturday night. We made a reservation and arrived on time and were seated almost immediately. Our booth was roomy and offered a great view of the other guests. The food was plentiful and quite filling and expertly prepared. We ordered the following: * Cowboy Ribeye with Bleu Cheese Crust and Lobster Tail * Ahi Tuna * Lobster Mac & Cheese * Cremini Mushrooms * Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon I have to say that the sides were probably my favorite. The ribeye was most flavorful and had a delicious crust that did not overpower the beef. We were most impressed with the service and the expertise of the entire staff. Enjoy your visit! read more

I honestly think this place has the best steaks. Sometimes we go to steakhouses and it isn't always on point but this place is! And has the best cheesecake I ever had! Lobster Mac and cheese: all their sides are big enough to share but this is a meal on its own. It's soo good that I can't stop eating this Garlic mash: I love their mash potatoes but I don't honestly taste the garlic so maybe they should add more Creamed spinach: compared to lawrys, it isn't as good but it is still great. Steaks: there is absolutely no wrong choice in the cut at all so pick which ever. I prefer with bone in because it has more flavor Desserts: like I mentioned, cheesecake. Their bread pudding isn't go great so hard pass All in all, I love this place and the service is beyond exceptional and amazing. I come here at least once a month and I am never disappointed at all read more

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Price: $$$$ ($50-85) I've heard good things about Ruth Chris and how they keep their standards high. Unfortunately, this is not the case for us. Came here on the last day of Dine LA, which the restaurant is pretty busy. Got off on the good start when we greeted by friendly host at the door and got seated within 5 minutes. The ambiance was pretty loud for a steakhouse for my taste. However, the host was kindly enough to accommodate us with a quieter table on the dining room. It's going down hill when our waiter came without introducing himself first nor asking for our drinks and straight to main course. We're startled because we felt like we dined in a casual restaurant not the fine dining quality that we expected when we enter the establishment. After than it's pretty seamless. The cocktail was very watered down. I ordered old fashion, which comes with too much ice and makes the taste watery. In the menu it does said knob creek, which is a premium brand and great for old fashion. I had to order another glass of wine on top of the old fashion. The quality of the cocktail drinks were below any steakhouse standards. We ordered New York Strip and Sea bass fish . The first steak that we received was perfect, the place sizzle as it suppose to be and I saw the butter on it. The second steak wasn't that great, there is no butter at all, which we discovered after a while since we're all having conversations. The sea bass was mediocre at best. Overall, I did enjoy my time and we had a nice evening but not a memorable one. I wouldn't necessarily go back to this establishment since there is plenty steakhouse in the area. read more

1000/10. Celebrated 2 birthdays, and Ruth's went above and beyond for us. Personalized menu, the private booth we were in had confetti sprinkled on top. I appreciate the razzle dazzle! I can't remember anyone's name, but our server had a brown streak in her blonde hair. Thank you for the recommendations! I ruined her dessert surprise for us by wanting it boxed to go, I'm glad you did it anyway! Dip your bread in the lobster sauce, always. Everything was delicious and super cute. The manager of the evening, also blonde, was a very wonderful woman who came over to make sure the evening went well. This is how core traditions are made. At Ruth's Chris'. Thank you!! read more
We came for DineLA. Tasty food and great ambience. It was my first time so the server explained the menu and the DineLA option. DineLA menu isn't really that much of a deal- it's essentially a free steak topper enhancer. But hey we were coming anyway! Steak made to order and does come a little rarer which is fine for me. The dishes are hot so be careful! This location is off Euclid and Colorado with valet at the entrance. However after 5pm (read the signs) the street parking meters are off just a block away. Pasadena will still take your money even after hours! There's also a happy hour menu too but it's only available at the bar. read more

Not my first Ruth's Chris experience, but my first time at the Pasadena location. As usual, the food was phenomenal. I had the ribeye and she had the filet medallions with shrimp. We shared the mushrooms and creamed spinach, and a good bottle of wine. Our server, Victor, was an absolute pleasure, which only made the evening better. Over all, a great night. read more

The service is really nice, however the steak is a bit too salty and it's easy to get full while I only eat half of it, I think maybe share with friend would be good. I would say this is a great experience! read more

Yesterday I came back. This was my 4th time dining at this location. Every time has met or exceeded my expectations. Yesterday, I finally tried the cowboy ribeye and it was 10/10. Ordered it medium rare with blue cheese crust, and it was perfectly cooked with a pink center and perfect sear, for great flavor. I added the ruth's chopped salad and a side of the sweet potato casserole. Perfect meal. Service was great and friendly as usual. read more

Not a terrible experience as the service is very nice. However, when we went in November, the steaks were both pretty overdone. We both asked for medium rare and neither of them were. It's funny because earlier that night we overheard another patron complaining of such and just thought he was being dramatic. Little did we know the same thing would happen to us too. Oh well! read more

My second time at this restaurant (Pasadena) and first time at the bar. WOW! Mind blowing good food and impeccable service. My steak sandwich was so good. I cannot wait to return. The sweet potato casserole is my favorite and it was great as ever. Ambiance is so classy. Everything is wonderful here. Filet is my favorite. (Had it this time on my sammie). Thank you to the staff for this phenomenal dining experience. Really lifted my spirits. Made me feel special! read more

The food is amazing. We started with the crab cake appetizer which were the best we have ever had - pure crab. We ordered the petite filet mignon and rib eye steaks - both seasoned and cooked to perfection. The lobster tails were out of this world fantastic. We had the mushrooms & creamed spinach for sides which were very flavorful. Our leftovers were great the next day. The service is attentive and friendly. Ruth's Chris has been and continues to be our favorite steakhouse in Pasadena. read more

First time here.. Service is wonderful. Greeted by the hostess. Everyone friendly, professional, well dressed. When the staff gives you the right of way, that speaks a lot to service. Food wise. We ordered the ribeye med rare to share, because there is no way either one of us can finish a 16oz by ourselves. Recommend: Ribeye: beautifully cooked - med rare- buttery - a bit salty for my taste (but I finished it) Dirty Martini was great- props to the bartender Blah: Creme of spinach: it was cold, not room temperature, but cold. Lobster bisque: consistency is lacking, taste wise decent Espresso Martini read more
