Much busier that I had anticipated for Christmas Day, especially compared to when we were there Thanksgiving. Day. Meat takes a certain time to cook properly so plan you visit around that, and I don't believe that 2:00 PM is a most conducive time, rather around noon or 4:00 PM seems better. The food was excellent, and if you are looking for a specific meat, mention it to your server and they will ensure the next skewer makes it to your table. The restaurant was packed, and they managed quite well, remembering the employees gave up their families on Christmas to serve you. As good as any we had in Rio de Janeiro, although we though the Belmond Hotel at Iguassu was better. Definitely a return visit is in order on a less busy day. If you are a meat eater, you can't go wrong!

I had a delicious Christmas meal at Ruth Chris. The restaurant was crowded but the service remained excellent. The meal was outstanding. I was in a party of three. We ordered different entres. Everyone really enjoyed their entree. They were served hot and inviting. Ruth Chris made my Christmas Day exceptional!

Our first time visiting Little Betty. The food and service were very good but similar to all of these steak places, it was very expensive. It was a lovely place to be on Christmas Eve and reminded me of the supper clubs I used to enjoy in Wisconsin many years ago. 

It was a great place to have an intimate Christmas celebration with adult family . The food and service were outstanding.

This is the most charming and quiet and delicious and courteous restaurant I've found after visiting Birmingham regularly for over a decade. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a fine dining experience sans hustle and bustle!
