    My boyfriend and I visited Ruth's Chris for the first time this Valentine's Day and to be honest, I was really surprised by how underwhelming this steakhouse is. We've been to the Capital Grille dozens of times and expected it to be on par, but boy were we surprised. I'd say the only thing slightly comparable was the food, but even that missed the mark :( I had a filet that was delicious, but it was literally in a puddle of butter, and the lobster tail I'd ordered (a completely separate item from the filet) was placed on the same plate, so my $22 lobster tail tasted just like my steak. My boyfriend felt his steak was ok, but not anything memorable. The mashed potatoes were also very greasy and had a rim of oil around the side of the bowl. My espresso martini was a 3/5. My main gripe with the evening, however, was the manager who came by our table. Every time we've visited a steakhouse, there is a manager who quickly pops by to check on the table and make sure your dinner is going smoothly. This manager did not do that. The first thing he mentioned when he came by was that the single rose each lady received was from him (as he'd ordered them for the restaurant), which I found odd. Then he asked me what I'd received for my Valentine's Day gifts, and when I told him, he looked between my boyfriend and I and said "is that it?" I was mortified. He went on a spiel about winning $46k at a casino and hiding it from his wife, and then promoted a jewelry store down the street. By the end of the conversation, my boyfriend and I were just so put off and confused by the experience. It felt unprofessional and it was strange enough for me to question if he was maybe inebriated? No idea but I can absolutely say we will not be returning, even to other locations.

    I ordered my steak cooked " medium " and got " rare " ( more like RAW ). Someone needs to show the menu to the cooks and have them study it . More specifically the " USDA Prime Steaks " section where it tells what to expect your steak to look like when you cut into it . ( see attached pictures ) . Our server kept coming by the table asking if everything was ok , I think he could tell I wasn't happy with it but for some reason he wouldn't mention it . I will not send anything back in any restaurant for fear of angering the cooks and having them clean the floor or blowing their nose on it ( or worse ). I ate what I could and we thanked our server who , by the way , was excellent , very friendly and attentive , a real gentleman .

    Went and gave Ruth's Chris a second chance, and I can't complain about it this time. The drink was delicious & i honestly ordered it cause it was a blast from the past and was made with Remy Martin! The soup was so tasteful that I left with a burnt tongue! Definitely great location especially when the weathers nice can even see Encore from my table .

    My coworkers and I ate here on a Monday night and sat at the bar. There was no wait. The bartender was very attentive and got our drinks promptly. The drinks were exactly what we ordered and were delicious. For entrees, I ordered the cowboy ribeye, medium rare, with an al la carte style for sides. The food was fairly expensive, but WOW! The ribeye was served on a 500* degree plate with melted sizzling butter. The char was impeccable. Hands down one of the best steaks I've had. My coworkers all enjoyed their steaks as well. We were blown away by the experience. The vibes were intimate and not too loud despite being at the bar. The lighting was dim but still light enough to see the menu. We highly recommend Ruth Chris when in assembly row.

    Great steak and lobster Mac and cheese! The service was nice. The ambiance was also good.

    Shrimp and filet mignon

    What started off as a not so great experience became a fantastic experience by end of the evening. No waiters/waitresses came to take our order, but I had noticed other people who came after us already had their orders in, drinks on table, and bread too. I had to stop a waiter to have our order taken. After our orders were taken, a few moments later the host comes over to offer an apology and an app on the house. Shortly after, our food came and everything was just as expected-- delicious. Shout out to Isaac for taking such great care of us. The service was outstanding.

    I dropped by this place after walking around Assembly Row. The restaurant had a nice outdoor patio underneath the arch of the Partners building. I ordered the Ruth's Classics prix fixe meal for $59. I got the caesar salad as an app, steak and shrimp as the entree, and creamed spinach as the accompanying side. The caesar salad consisted of romaine lettuce, croutons, shaved parmesan cheese and caesar dressing. It was spot on and delicious. As always, the medium rare steak never disappoints. The 6 ounce filet was warm and buttery on a sizzling plate. The creamed spinach was great as well. For dessert, I got the bread pudding with raisins, whisky sauce and fresh strawberries. Thumbs up!

    Cake and dessert (they even brought out one with a candle !)

    We went to Batifol on a Sunday night specifically for the steak frites, and unfortunately, the…read moreexperience was extremely disappointing. There were very few redeeming aspects to the meal, and we left feeling both disrespected and unsatisfied as customers. The issues started right away. We ordered drinks--including a pear mocktail--but were brought the wrong ones, and then they attempted to charge us for those incorrect drinks. In hindsight, the cocktail mix-up should have been a warning of what was to come. The pear mocktail itself was also quite bad. The service felt chaotic throughout the night. We asked multiple times for additional servings of steak and fries, but were largely ignored. Meanwhile, nearby large tables were repeatedly served, cleared out entire trays, and still received more attention from staff. For an all-you-can-eat steak frites offering, we each received only one serving despite several requests. As for the food itself, it did not make up for the service. The steak was just okay--some pieces were chewy and overly fatty, though acceptable if refills had actually been provided. The fries, however, were terrible. Our first serving was so hard it was nearly inedible, and the only refill we received was just as bad. I also ordered the spinach risotto, which was slightly better than the steak, but it was so salty I couldn't finish it. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

They had everything from eggs to sausage to french toast to pasta to tiramisu to muffins to much more. They also have juices, coffee and hot chocolate. The brunch does not include alcohol as that could be added. The service was amazing, our waitress was constantly filling up our waters throughout the meal and checking up on us. The managers were also walking around checking up on everyone. I highly recommend checking out Batifol for brunch on the weekends. You will not leave hungry!

Super sweet person tho Our table was bummed about the dessert selection - bring back the classic tiramisu in a glass!! Sadly, the stuffed garlic bread was not warm enough for a nice cheesepull like the videos either. The tulip-shaped scallop ravioli was the star, with a moderately rich butter sauce. As for the lobster spaghetti, barely any lobster was detected. Chill pond-facing spot with open seating and turtle-speed service from kind servers with good drink recs. There were just 3 groups eating with us and it took half an hour for the food to be served. Medium portions weren't filling at all so we were hoping the dessert would offset that. I still think changing dessert menus once a year is better than every season especially considering that low foot traffic that night.

Food: We enjoyed everything we ordered, but the standouts were the fried mozzarella and the pastas. The fried mozzarella was perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey throughout. Then the rigatoni bolognese and the spicy lobster pasta were the ideal choices for the two of us. We especially loved the chew and texture of the fresh pasta. Service: This was the definition of seamless. The staff always had a purpose when they came by and it felt like we were being looked after. No moments of awkwardly wanting to ask for the dessert menu or the check. Atmosphere: We couldn't stop looking at all the amazing decor. Our window seats especially had great soft lighting. All the fixtures and elegant colors matched the high quality of the food.

As with any good restaurant, its menu is well curated. While there is a nice outdoor dining area, given the heat of the day, we dined inside. Without reservations, we were accommodated at the bar. Reservations are a must. Bar seating is fine, there is ample space, not at all crowded. The bartender doubled as our waiter. He was very knowledge about the menu and personable. As an appetizer, my son and I split the chicken cutlet - which for some could be a meal. Delicious as always. As an entree, I ordered my favorite, the pizza margherita. My son ordered the same topped with sausage and prosciutto. There is no skimping on toppings here! The pizzas at "Si Cara", are a treat, very highly recommended. Made like in Naples, savory-sweet marinara, fresh mozzarella, topped with basil, delivered hot and ready to eat! Price to portion is excellent. Parking, it's the city, there is none.

This location has no service - its counter-ordering and the food was not the same. The pizza had barely any ricotta though we paid up for it, and the toppings were so scarce that it was mostly crust (more than usual Neapolitan). The garlic bread was the same price but half the size. It was cafe style seating, not restaurant, and just a weak version of the South End location that I do not recommend.
