Love love love this place. Great atmosphere and great company made my weekend the best I ever had. Thank you Serg you are the best!!!

If you’re looking for a high-end, “chain” steakhouse in the Financial District- you have to give Ruth’s Chris a visit. Ruth’s Chris is known for their signature steaks cooked to perfection with plenty of butter and served sizzling on a 500-degree plate. They’re also well known for their classic sides, like creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes. You’ll also find a solid selection of appetizers and fresh seafood! We decided to stop in to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner. We are not big fans of Turkey, we find it dry. So, I decided to visit the location inside of “Old City Hall”. The location is certainly unique and the architecture is absolutely stunning. The location is located right inside the main entrance of Old City Hall. The interior boasts gothic architecture and rich woods. We specifically booked our reservation for the main dining room. They do have a dining room in the front, back, as well as downstairs. We were seated relatively quickly. The hostesses seemed to have an issue pulling up and “confirming” our reservation, but this was fixed promptly and we were guided to our table. It was in the main rear dining room, as requested. It was a table for two and everything was set perfectly. We both decided to go with Ruth’s Classic Prix Fixe Menu. That comes with a starter- Caesar Salad, Steakhouse Salad, or Lobster Bisque. I opted for the steakhouse salad. The salad was crisp and fresh. The portion was also very generous. However, it lacked any “toppings”, for a lack of a better term. There were maybe two-three grape tomatoes halves. They also way overdid it on the red onion. I was lucky to find two-three mini croutons. They could certainly improve the salads. Next, you choose your choice of entree. They offer both surf and turf options. Given it was Thanksgiving, they also offered a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with oven-roasted turkey, stuffing, gravy, and more. We are not fans of turkey, but seeing it come out it was a good size portion and many folks had leftovers to take home with them. I decided to go with the 6-ounce filet and lobster tail. I opted for the Bleu Cheese “Crust” for a small up-charge. It is just right, it doesn’t overpower the flavor of the beef. My companion ordered the same, except they opted for the Truffle “Crust”. You also get a personal-size side of your choice. I do wish they offered all their sides as an option. However, you cannot go wrong with Ruth’s Creamed Spinach and Garlic Mashed Potatoes! The sides are large enough for two to share, in my opinion. To finish off the meal, you also get a personal-sized dessert! You typically would get a mini, traditional cheesecake. Given it was Thanksgiving, they offered mini Pumpkin Cheesecake. It is served with a small scoop of ice cream. We took ours to go. It was so-so. You can upgrade to a different dessert for an up-charge. Service was top-notch and our server was phenomenal. She ensured we had everything we needed and were completely satisfied. They are always ensuring your water is topped off and that the table is clean and tidy. For a high-end “chain”, the service is very attentive. The food was top-notch. The steaks were cooked perfectly, medium rare. They were flavorful, juicy, tender, and seasoned just-right. They came out with that signature sizzle on that 500-degree plate. If you’re looking for a consistent, reliable, high-end chain steakhouse in the financial district, I’d certainly suggest Ruth’s Chris.

Had an excellent time steak was cooked perfect, blu cheese crust was amazing! Good mixed drinks. Dessert was amazing!

Amazing visit to our favorite city and our favorite steak house. Everyone was so nice and friendly during our birthday visit to Ruth Chris Boston. Special shout out to Adam, our primary host, for making sure everything was perfect! We shall be back.

Had dinner at a Friday night, sat at the bar area. Had the lobster bisque that was well below average, the filet was ok, nothing to brag about, and for dessert a cheesecake. It didn’t felt fancy, the food was just ok, not a place that I would recommend. But the waiters were friendly.

Finally made to Ruth’s Chris Steak House. The old building on School Street could use a little remodeling. I would definitely recommend sitting upstairs especially if you want a better ambiance, but the food was good the hot bread was fresh I think it had just came out the oven. My steak with lobster tail was perfect. Cooked just as ordered the mash potatoes was good, the spinach well I would pass on that. My cocktail was very light on the alcohol seem more like water down juice. I also ordered a hot Irish coffee that was room temperature but the service was good and food was good.
