    Lamb Chops
    Hung L.

    Overall the food was great. The lamb and steak are cooked the way we wanted. medium rare with pink inside. The steak is very tender and juicy. Oysters were very fresh. The rockefeller was very cheesy and yummy. I really enjoyed the soup. The crab in the soup was noticeable. The only thing that we did not like was ahi tuna. The outside was not crunchy like other places. The service was top notch. Overall very enjoyable.

    Hello Karen, Thank you for reaching out -- I do appreciate that effort in itself. However, I'm disappointed to say that when you advised me to call, there was no indication of who I should speak with. Since you were the one who responded to my review, I specifically asked for you but was informed that you handle customer relations and are not located at the restaurant, which I understand. My issue is with the follow-up process that occurred afterward. I initially called on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, and was told a manager was unavailable but that I could leave a message and would receive a call back. I did so, yet I never received that call. When I called again today, I was connected to a manager -- who happened to be Dav, the very person my review was about. While he did ask if I preferred to speak with another manager, I proceeded under the impression that he may have information to relay or an update regarding my prior complaint. Unfortunately, the conversation went much like the interaction during my visit. Instead of resolving my concern, Dav became defensive and argumentative -- repeating nearly the same statements he made that evening. When I realized that nothing productive was coming from the discussion, I requested to speak with another manager. However, rather than transferring me or offering a solution, he continued to debate with me over my personal preference and the restaurants standard for how a steak should be prepared/cooked, which was the core issue to begin with. To clarify, the steak was only paid for after we returned the check and requested to speak with him again because no adjustment had been made. He previously said he would "take care of it," then disappeared from the table without explanation. Within five minutes, the server returned to say he was "in the restroom" and handed us a revised check -- an unusually quick turnaround that raised further concerns about how this situation was handled. Even after I referenced your earlier message -- which implied I could speak with any manager -- Dav insisted that any manager on duty handles reviews, continuing to talk over me instead of listening. It's concerning that a manager at Ruth's Chris would repeatedly engage in back-and-forth arguments with a dissatisfied customer rather than demonstrating professionalism or accountability. I was informed that the calls are recorded, and I truly hope this interaction is reviewed and used as training on what not to do when addressing a customer complaint. Special recognition to Dav -- not only was my birthday experience poorly handled, but today's follow-up has left me questioning the customer service standards of Ruth's Chris entirely. It's deeply disappointing to have such an experience at a restaurant known for its high standards.

    Chilean Sea Bass
    Rod S.

    Wife and I have eaten here for Thanksgiving last several years. Found it much easier than cooking. No cleaning just enjoying and nap after. Wife had the traditional Thanksgiving turkey, dressing etc. VERY tasty and large portions. I varied this year and tried the Chilean Sea bass. WOW, this dish was incredibly delicious. I will be back again just for this fish. Service could not have been more spot on. They were very attentive and helpful. Overall a great and enjoyable experience

    Restaurant week 2025 : Waitress Kaylee is an absolute sweetheart, she's very attentive and accommodating. The ambiance was romantic, dim lights with mix of booths and tables. The restrooms are her/his & clean. Ordered from the Prix Fix menu and was a perfect line up. Took dessert home. This was a nice evening with a good friend. Unika B. & Co.

    This is my first time going here since the restaurant opened and I doubt I will be back. The service was terrible, they didn't clean our table after the apps. Very basic and not the extraordinary service you would expect at this price point. Steak was served overdone. Sides served to the wrong persons etc. Looks like poor service is to be expected now. While they work out the kinks. Won't stick around to find out. The cocktail was great! I wouldn't waste my time checking this place out anymore.

    malbec and a mocktail
    Alex A.

    Went here for Father's Day 2024. Enjoyed the ambiance, the decor was really nice and classy. The wait staff was superb, friendly and attentive without being too obtrusive. All things you want when you know you're going to spend a small fortune dining here. But what about the food? Overall, it was good with a few underwhelming items. The malbec was good. A solid B+. My wife's mocktail was perfect. She gave it an A. My wife's steak was great! Definitely worth the price. Her filet mignon was just the right portion size and the way it was grilled was spot-on. Definitely an A. My 12 oz ribeye, however, was very good but not in my estimation worth $65. I had just the same kind at Texas Roadhouse in the High Desert in California for $45 and it tasted just as good as well. In terms of a price-to-value proposition, I'd give my steak a B-. The side items we ordered were definitely the stars of the show. The potatoes au gratin and the cremini mushroom dishes were mind-blowingly spectacular! Those, for the price were worth every penny. A+, wait, no, priceless!! The MOST underwhelming item for us was the bananas foster for $35. The fire show was wonderful, but the taste was, for lack of a better term, "meh". The Palisades in Seattle served a much better version. Would not recommend it at all. Stick to the Crème Brûlée instead. Side bar items. Free Valet Parking was good and prompt. Postscript: I strongly recommend getting a reservation a few days ahead, heck even a week before your date to guarantee a table. Especially during special occasions, like Father's Day. There was a couple that didn't have a reservation and tried to claim the same table we reserved and was shown by the seating hostess and had the temerity to be upset because we did not give it to them. They reasoned that they waited for an hour. I rebutted that I made a reservation a week ahead. They were so upset that they left the restaurant quicker than the Roadrunner being chased by Wiley E. Coyote. Moral of the story: Don't be like this overly entitled couple.

    Spicy salmon, with crispy shrimp
    Kelly M.

    Just not as top notch as I remembered. Steak was chewy and had texture as if previously frozen. Salmon was 'swimming' in the Thai sauce. Too much. Chopped salad didn't seem fresh. Bread choices - the baguette was hard, too 'crusty'. Service with Michael was spot on. Water refills, timing on food, salad deliveries, were great. Hostess tossed rose petals on the table to 'celebrate' my birthday. Mini complimentary cheesecake with a candle was a nice touch, but we got it 'to go'. Atmosphere interrupted by emergency alarm going off asking us to leave the premises. ?? Must be a normal occurrence, as the manager in a suit came around and said was not in their restaurant, but in the residential part of the building, and no one seemed phased by it. He told us the alarm would shut off when the fire department arrived. Unfortunately, through all that, my guest was a first-time visitor to Ruth's Chris, and overall, he was not impressed.

    Unfortunately some of the other reviews were on point! This place is very overpriced. I have the 6 oz steak and it wasn't bad, but not worth $40. One way to offset the price is ordering the special which includes a salad/soup, side dish and dessert for $9 more. Versus paying $40 for just the steak and then paying over $10 for a side dish. The wine is also extremely overpriced! There was a $15 bottle that was being sold at $80....um no thanks. Service was normal, waiter was attentive and friendly. Not a bas experience and good flavors in the food but not worth the price they charge.

    Caesar Salad

    The food was amazing. The waitress was very polite and made sure everything was to our liking. I would definitely recommend coming and enjoying the food and atmosphere.

The service was top notch as well. All of the wait staff were friendly, knowledgeable of the menu, and took care of our large group well. I started with the Old Fashioned Flight, with their Aged Old Fashioned, one with Old Forester 1920, and one with Buffalo Trace that they said was their restaurants pick. The first 2 were really good, but I think they gave me the wrong drink, because the one with BT didn't taste like it had any bourbon in it at all. But the waiter switched it out for me with a Tequila OF, which was really good. They brought out two salads for the table, and their Cesar Salad was really good, the dressing was so good. I ordered the Australian Lamb Chops, which were amazing. Simply seasoned, but done so well. I ordered a side of Chimichurri sauce, and it was not needed at all. My wife had the meatloaf, which was delicious, and the group all enjoyed their meals and drinks. We left full and happy. I definitely recommend you add this place to you list if you've never been.

The restaurant is beautiful, cozy, and comfortable, and the hosts and servers have been excellent every time. We made reservations once through OpenTable and once by phone -- both were easy, and reservations are probably a good idea since they stay busy. The food has been great both times. On our first visit, my husband and I shared the ribeye and loved the flavor. Their Caesar salad is also surprisingly unique and delicious with broccolini instead of a traditional Caesar style. I also really appreciated being able to order a single Rockefeller oyster since most places require a half dozen minimum. The second time we visited for an early Mother's Day dinner with my son and shared the off-menu tomahawk, which was excellent as well. The only consistent issue we've had has been steak temperature. We usually order medium, but their interpretation of medium has come out significantly more rare than expected. The first time, we had to send the steak back, and they asked us to identify only the undercooked portions to recook separately, which was a bit awkward and something we hadn't experienced before at a steakhouse. The second time, we tried being more specific and even requested an approximate temperature around 140°, but the steak came out closer to medium-well. That said, the flavors, atmosphere, and service have been so enjoyable that we'll absolutely keep coming back. We're just hoping we can eventually land on the perfect medium steak on a future visit.

Venue: it is good sized venue, ambient and has upscale elegant - classic theater type of look. Went to the small room area in the back to the left past the kitchen. Food: I have tried crab shrimp bisque, cheese steak roll, calamari, NY steak and cheese cake. The shrimp bisque was good but I've had better- for example near by Capital grill and definitely not closed to any of the bisque at fisherman's wharf. But you know what, when I got chunk of crab and shrimp I started to change my mind that it was getting pretty good. Cheese steak roll was pretty good but real rich. Calamari had good flavor but extremely sweet. The whole table agreed that there was unnecessary amount of sugar in there. Steak was nice and thick- however it would've been better if it had more salt and seasoning. The steak was cooked perfect medium rare. Texture was soft but I was slightly suspicious of meat tenderizer in there. Just a thought. Cheese cake was good but again, I've had better. Service: service was good.

I.usually put price insight in the beginning but I am giving my insight on this last because- overall the experience and food was good.

Surprisingly, despite the restaurant being empty, we had to wait about 30-40 minutes. The staff kept telling us our table was "getting ready," which was confusing given how quiet it was. Service throughout the meal was quite slow. We started with the shrimp appetizer, which was good. We initially ordered oysters, but were informed 10-15 minutes later that they were unavailable, so we switched to calamari, which was just okay. For entrées, we ordered steak, crab cake and crab stuffed shrimp . Steak was served on a large plate with a very small portion and no sides included. At that price point, you would expect a more substantial serving or at least accompaniments. Dessert was the highlight -- we tried the crème brûlée, chocolate cake, and carrot cake, and all were enjoyable. One odd detail: the check was split into two without the server asking how we wanted it handled. Overall, for a higher-end steakhouse, we expected better service, smoother communication, and more attention to detail. The ambience is nice, but the experience didn't quite match the price or expectations.

I had the pork chop bites skewer and seafood stuffed mushrooms. While both were equally delicious, the pork bites were just a tad bit overdone, causing them to be on the drier side. But the sauce serve with them saved them, and the flavor was well-presented in both dishes, making the appetizers a great stand alone meal for the night. Both of my cocktails were made by the friendly, charming bartender, which were smooth and perfect for slow sipping. I would 100% visit again for a nice date night, but it's also a great spot to hang with friends due to the immersive bar arrangement.

Was really impressed by the hospitality of the bartender Toulson (spelling?). He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and gave me detailed recommendations. -- The Hamachi Crudo was so bright and light. I really enjoyed the puffed rice on top and the basil ice complemented the dish well. The grapefruit added some nice acidity and the little crunchy bites were the perfect texture contrast. The pieces of fish were large and thick. -- The Manchego-herb Biscuits were awesome. One order comes with four small biscuits. Crust was flaky, the inside was soft and moist, and the flaky salt was the cherry on top. -- The Seared Duck Breast was phenomenal. The duck was juicy and tender and salted well. The skin was thick, sooo flavorful, and melted in your mouth but I would've liked a little more crispiness on the outside. I enjoyed the mix of fresh vegetables and warm cooked vegetables served with the dish. -- The Lemon Yuzu Tart was a nice bright and rich dessert. The tartness comes from the jam on top of the tart but it doesn't overwhelm the dish. The creme brulee style top was a nice touch. The buttermilk ice cream was more on the icier side than creamy. I really enjoyed all the dishes I tried here and am looking forward to my next visit.

    Crawford and Son serves very tasty food in a modern diner atmosphere and attentive service…read more Although not a breakfast place, their famous biscuits are a great opener - so flaky and buttery with manchego cheese that adds deep, sharp flavor and a moist yumminess. I enjoyed the duck breast, with a crunch tasty dried beet topping. The duck was moist and tender and the strips were nicely roasted. For dessert, I savored the Dark Chocolate Ganache Cake. This is a rich cake with a full chocolate flavor. When I'm next in Raleigh, I plan to dine at Crawford and Son for a superb meal.

    Wow! I said I'd come back but I didn't realize it had been 8 years!…read more My husband Dan H and I had a great lunch with some friends today. We all shared an order of fries for the table, which were amazing. Then I got the grain bowl with shrimp, and everything was perfectly prepared and delicious. My husband enjoyed his biscuits and gravy with fried chicken- so tender and decedent. Our friends enjoyed their meal, too, and enjoyed the apple custard for dessert. The mocktails were also delicious- I loved one with hibiscus and ginger. So nice to have a bunch of mocktail options! The ambiance was just as great as it was 8 years ago- spacious and light. The server was great, and let us linger for a few hours without hovering. Hope to be back sooner than another 8 years from now!

    If bourbon and whiskey choices were a personality trait, The Whiskey Kitchen would definitely have…read morecommitment issues...because the selection is massive. Seriously, if you can't find a pour you like here, you may just need water instead. Started with the biscuits topped with crackling and house-made preserves, and honestly, that combo alone made me question why I don't eat more biscuits in life. Sweet, salty, buttery chaos in the best way. For the main, I went with the pork chop and greens. The chop leaned a little overcooked for me personally, but the sauce helped bring things back together and added good flavor. The greens had a nice little kick of heat, but I kept waiting for that deep smoky ham hock flavor to show up like an old Southern grandma entering the kitchen... and it never quite arrived. Overall though? Still a solid meal, strong whiskey program, cool atmosphere, and definitely worth checking out if you're in Raleigh looking for a bourbon-forward dinner spot. Travelin_Broke approved with a slight side-eye from the greens.
