    A very nice Thanksgiving lunch! It’s a beautiful place. Servers were perfect. Food delicious! Squash soup was fabulous. The turkey, gravy, potatoes, dressing, green beans and cranberry sauce were all way above good. And with a little bit of difference. Desserts perfect. Thanks.

    Over the years when I was still working I ate many meals at Ruth’s Chris. As a result I am very familiar with their high standards for food and service. We were recently in Des Moines and had the opportunity to eat at the Ruth’s Chris in West Des Moines. The service with Krystal was excellent per usual. The ambience was absolutely off the chart. Beautiful decor and even though they were very busy, we could use normal conversation and hear one another so the acoustics were also excellent. We were celebrating my birthday and Kaitlyn (the general manager) came by on two separate occasions to make sure it was up to our expectations. I told her it exceeded our expectations! If you are in the area, I strongly suggest you visit this restaurant - you won’t be disappointed!

    Food and service were great. The only thing that could’ve improved our experience was the lighting wasn’t great. We had to pull out our phones so we could see the menu.
