    Petite Filet & Shrimp*
    Diana A.

    Food was delicious 10/10! Everything tastes amazing and was served so beautifully! The service was also great very courteous friendly and it was quick at the beginning. For our dessert sadly it looks like they took it to the wrong table and we ended up waiting about 15-20 minutes for the dessert but the wait was worth it because that classic cheesecake was to die for! The restaurant was also very elegant and perfectly lit for a romantic dinner!

    Ruth's Chris Steak House is located in the Town Center area of Virginia Beach. There is limited street parking, but there are parking garages here and the Green Parking Garage is the closest one to the business. My visit here was on October 31, 2025. I've been to Town Center numerous times, but have never been to Ruth's Chris. My mom and I both came here on this visit based on an ad for hearing about a program available, so the cost was covered by the company sponsoring this event. This review is centered on the aspects of the visit regarding the staff, food and so forth. The entrance to the restaurant is on the second floor. There is an escalator that you can use to get up there. There is also an elevator to get up there as well. This restaurant is more upscale, so business casual to elegant attire is required, which is noted next to the entrance doors. When we came in, we looked around a bit as we weren't sure where to go. A few moments later, someone came by and they helped us get to the room we wanted to get to. At the tables, there was a set menu of items you could choose from. The first course was the Steak House Salad. For the entree, you had three options to choose from. The sides were Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Fresh Broccoli. The dessert would be the Classic Cheesecake. The first part was to get an overview of the presentation that day. After 15 minutes or so, servers came around asking what our choice would be for the main course. I chose the Garlic-Herb Cheese Stuffed Chicken and my mom chose the Classic Petite Filet. They brought out their bread to the tables. Around 11:30 am, the Steak House Salads came out to the tables. It looked really good, and when I had it, it was great, even though I don't normally do salad dressings. Shortly after finishing the salad, the sides came out to the tables, followed by the main course chosen. The Garlic-Herb Cheese Stuffed Chicken was amazing. There was plenty of flavor to it and really hit the spot. My mom noted the same thing with her Classic Petite Filet. After having those parts of the lunch, the next hour or so was the presentation that brought us here in the first place. Once that part was completed, the final course came around, which was the Classic Cheesecake. The cheesecake was really good, and is something I don't normally have. Overall, Ruth's Chris Steak House was really good. I know it would be pretty pricey on a regular basis, which is why I hadn't been here before until this. I may consider coming here for a personal special event reason in the future though. The food and service were awesome. If you are looking for a more upscale place to have a meal, this place is worth checking out.

    My wife and I went here for a happy hour and had a great experience. Caleb is a great server who made sure that my water was regularly filled and that my order was done correctly, to the T! I ordered the burger and fries cooked medium-rare with half the slice of Swiss cheese on the burger and the other half on the side which I then boxed to-go. I really appreciated my server and cook's attentiveness to my order as I'm trying to be mindful of my salt and saturated fat intake. As a dietitian I frequently encourage my patients to advocate for themselves when eating out and ask for Heart Healthy requests (i.e cheese and dressings in the side, no salt on fries, etc.). Caleb made it easy to ask for what I needed. Also, the burger was cooked to order tasted excellent! My half slice of Swiss cheese melted great and was plenty to cover my burger. I'll definitely be back!

    We had a quiet dinner tonight at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in the Town Center of Virginia Beach. We arrived at 5pm and we were fortunate enough to grab a couple of seats at the bar. Brendan the bartender was very pleasant and helpful with menu questions and suggestions. We started out with Seared Ahi Tuna on the Happy Hour Menu for $15. This was a generous portion and it was beautifully plated, and lightly seared, just the way I like it. My Wife had the Spicy Shrimp, also on the Happy Hour Menu for $16. They were incredibly delicious, served piping hot and she enjoyed them very much. For Dinner, she had the Chilean Sea Bass served with spinach. It was beautifully plated with so good! The crust on top was a nice touch where they use a Parmesan blended with some spices to make this incredible flavor. I had a 6oz Filet Mignon served with 3 grilled shrimp. I enjoyed it very much as well. You know what you are getting when you visit Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, quality steaks, seafood and more coupled with outstanding service.

    My first time going to a Ruth's Chris Steak House. We received excellent service while we were there. They were very attentive but not overbearing. We got the petite 8 ounce steak and also the chef special 16 ounce ribeye with the crab on top and mushrooms, mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole for the side. If you like sweet, the sweet potato casserole is amazing, and if you don't mind, mushrooms, the roasted mushrooms are so damn good! The mashed potatoes are just okay. The wine was great though. One of my coworkers mentioned that they received very poor service while it was really busy so your mileage may vary. Because we got there early in the evening, they open at 4 PM, we had a 4:45 reservation and it was only about a quarter full. But the food was amazing. The service was really good while we were there. Ambience was nice but in my opinion everything was a little bit overpriced. We paid roughly $300 for the bill. I think if you're willing to spend that kind of money then this is a great place to go for the food and experience but if you just want some good steaks, there are many other cheaper options that can deliver as well.

    Finally made it to Ruth Chris. It was cool to see what it was all about, but not our cup of tea. Was it nice inside with tasty food...yes! Was it worth the money? I don't feel it was, especially if you have decent cooking skills of your own. I am not trying to knock it, but I would (and did just a week prior) prefer to buy a good-quality steak or salmon and make it myself. We just felt it wasn't anything special for what you were paying for. Now I will say, the sides are what stole the show for us. They were delicious and a good portion of it. This restaurant seems to be great for a business write-off or to have that "dining experience." However, a one-and-done is probably what this would be for us. It was nice to have the experience and say we've been to "Ruth Chris" though.

    Ruth Chris knows steak , they are still the best when it comes to steak , they are cooked perfectly the way you like it,and well seasoned that you don't need no other sauce . Been going to this Ruth Chris on a special occasion and never been disappointed, service is always pleasant . I just wish they offer more selection for side dishes , but other than that I love the way they do their steak. We tried going to this other steak place in Va. beach called "......ers and ...s and we still think Ruth Chris is the "steak King" pricey ??yes ! its worth for the perfect good steak,ambiance ,and service .

    I enjoyed my visit to this location even though I typically go to the RC in NY. I ate at the bar, and the food was as expected...delicious. I ordered my usual filet mignon, but unfortunately, it was over cooked the first time and had to be sent back. I also raised a concern about my sides getting cold, and they promised to make a new batch. However, when they returned, I could tell that the food was still the same. Also the restaurant was quite busy on a Tuesday, and all the bar servers were friendly and attentive.

Stopped by for a burger and a beer to drown in my solitude. Had great service. Prompt, attentive and genuine. Only downside was some pretentious guy named Jeff kept whining about the hostess and the service being "special needs" because he couldn't get his group prompt service under 15 minutes on a special holiday. If it wasn't for some derogative guy whining off the bell about how the service wasn't up to par every couple minutes I'd have enjoyed what would've been quite a depressing day for me. Other than that, burger was damn heavenly. Beer was cold and good. Service was grand. Some people just ruin it for others. Great spot, great burger, good beer and good folks. B.W.

The last time I set foot inside their Pleasure House Rd location was at least 10 years ago. I celebrated my birthday there as my friends were kind enough to take me out. It was a Sunday morning and I sought out a place that offered brunch. I noticed 1608 was open and decided to head over, especially since I haven't visited them in ages. When I walked in, I noticed their dining room is dimly lit - much darker than I remember. I was greeted immediately by a kind hostess and she proceeded to sit me at a nearby table and provided me with menus (one food, one alcohol). I took my time looking over the food menu, and in the meantime I ordered a pint of Center of the Universe's Bald Irishman and a bottle of Boylan's Black Cherry soda (they do not have a soda fountain). What made this visit memorable was that 1608's bartender, Hunter, was an old acquaintance from back in my restaurant days. He spotted me and came over to say hi. After my meal, I continued to catch up with him at the bar. His presence made a pleasant experience even more fantastic. I thought I was hungry, so I ordered 2 dishes - Smoked Ham Fried Rice and the Breakfast Burrito. According to Hunter, every item is made fresh in house. After biting into each, you could tell that's true. Both the fried rice and burrito were delicious and boasted lots of flavor. Although I prefer my fried rice a bit simpler (if you give me just garlic fried rice, I am SET), 1608's fried rice (veggies, garlic, soy, basmati rice, 2 runny eggs, smoked ham) had a lot going on, which made for a flavorful dish. I liked the rice and the burrito (Korean style fried chicken breast, scrambled eggs, cilantro lime, cheddar, pico de gallo) a lot. I didn't finish either because it was a lot of food (I really thought I was hungry, haha). But these leftovers turned into a fantastic dinner later on. 1608 looked clean and organized, although I thought it was a little too dark inside, at least for brunch service. That's not a dealbreaker since everything from the food to the service was as excellent as I remember. I hope to return soon with my mom. Regardless, I'll find my way back eventually. Thank you, 1608 Crafthouse! And great seeing you again, Hunter! JV

The location itself has a nice setup with indoor seating, outdoor seating, and a covered porch-style area that feels like a screened-in four-season space, which was really pleasant. We were seated fairly quickly and received menus, but there was some confusion because the menu listed breakfast and brunch items only. We were hoping to order lunch, but were later informed that lunch service doesn't begin until after 2:30 PM. I do wish that detail was clearly noted on their website, as it wasn't mentioned and it would've helped set expectations ahead of time. The brunch menu itself was fairly limited and didn't have many standout options for us. I ended up asking for a BLT with fries, and my friend ordered a crab cake sandwich. We also asked about cocktails since prices weren't listed on the menu (only happy hour pricing was shown). We were initially told drinks were around $11, later informed our Palomas were actually $9, which was a nice surprise--but it would be helpful if regular pricing was clearly displayed. Service was a bit inconsistent. It took a while for our waitress to initially greet us, and after our food arrived, we had to flag someone down for basic condiments (ketchup, mayo on the side, and tartar/remoulade for the crab cake). Our waitress did check on us once during the meal, but overall service felt a little stretched. Food came out very quickly once ordered, which we appreciated. However, attention to detail with plating could improve--for example, the tomato used in my sandwich was the end piece, which affected the overall quality of the sandwich presentation. Overall, I would consider coming back, but more for lunch or dinner rather than brunch. The atmosphere and location are nice, but the brunch experience and service consistency didn't fully meet expectations this visit.

This is a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for good seafood and good people.
