    We’ve been going to West End Grill to celebrate our anniversary for a number of years now. The food is always delicious, the waitstaff is friendly, informative and not pushy. Ambiance is perfect for a quiet, private dinner. Highly recommend West End Grill!

    This was my first time going to Ruth’s Chris steakhouse. We were there to celebrate my boyfriend‘s birthday. The hostess staff was super nice. Our waiter was nice but seemed to be in a hurry the whole time we were there. The food was delicious. And although expensive, it’s totally worth it for a special occasion or holiday dinner.

    We were on upper level and were very pleased. Our server was very helpful and pleasant. The strip steak and the prime rib were both very good.

    The Earle is down to earth elegance. The food was outstanding. The menu had old favorites and delicious, intriguing dishes - something for everyone. In the middle of the dining room the floor was lower, and filled with close but not cramped tables. Slightly above and around the sides of the room were more tables. Despite being quite full, this design gives the room an open yet intimate feel. The ambience is further enhanced by the fact that conversations are possible without shouting over piped in music or the din of other diners shouting to be heard. We were celebrating our anniversary and were gifted with a small gift certificate for a future visit, which was unexpected but a nice touch. We will definitely be back!

    Loved everything from the food to the service, but the one downfall this restaurant has is the noise level. You’re close in seating arrangements and the acoustics aren’t good so the noise level is high at full capacity. We had a business dinner and it was quite hard to hear at times. Other than that, I love it!
