    Our dinner at Daniel’s Broiler was exceptional which you would expect because of the price point. My husband had fillet mignon which came with perfectly cooked large asparagus and baked potato. The fillet was done to his request and was very easy to eat. Perfect! I had lamb chops which were delicious. Just as good as lamb in England. For dessert my husband had the cookie and ice cream which was a great end to a great meal.

    An outstanding Dining Experience at Ruth’s Chris Steak House My most recent dining experience at Ruth’s Chris Steak House was such a pleasure, from start to finish, it was nothing short of exceptional. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and an upscale yet relaxed atmosphere that immediately set the tone for a great evening. The ambiance was elegant but inviting, with dim lighting, preferred comfortable seating, and a subtle buzz of conversation that gave the place a refined, vibrant energy. The service was top-tier, attentive without being intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable, professional, kind, and made excellent recommendations that truly enhanced our meal. Every detail, from the pacing of each course to the thoughtful check-ins, made it clear that the staff takes pride in delivering a first-class experience. Now, the food, absolutely delicious! The steak was cooked to perfection: tender, flavorful, and served sizzling on a hot plate just as promised. Each bite was rich and juicy, seasoned just right. The sides were equally impressive, especially the creamy mashed potatoes and the sweet potato casserole, decadent and packed with flavor. And let’s not forget dessert, crème brûlée, the perfect finish to an already stellar meal. Overall, Ruth’s Chris delivered on every level, food, service, atmosphere, and vibe. It was an experience worth every penny, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.
