Ruth's Chris Steak House - Anaheim

Eric was a fantastic server- very attentive, knowledgeable and so kind. His assistant, Kevin always made sure our drinks were filled, our bread was replenished and dirty plates were taken away right away. Eric recommended a few things which turned out to be fantastic. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and everyone that came by to check on us made sure to wish us happy anniversary. It was a wonderful evening.

Some people think, because something is expensive, it must be good. In the case of Ruth's Chris steakhouse Anaheim nothing could be farther from the truth. You're better off going to outback, the steak will be better and the atmosphere will be better and quieter. My wife and I went to Ruth's Chris Anaheim on our 19th wedding anniversary the other day. We had heard good things and decided to try something new (Morten's being the norm). The fillet was the toughest cut I think I have ever had, the gimmick of being served on a 500° plate takes your medium rare steak to medium well while you're trying to cut it with your elongated butter knife. The lobster bisque my wife had had chunks of flour from the roux and tasted oily. Potatoes au gratin were definitely not worth eating. Last and probably least, the asparagus with “hollandaise” sauce was very disappointing. The asparagus still had the inedible stalk on the bottom, and the “hollandaise” sauce was not a sauce. It was more like a cold dipping cup of mayonnaise on the plate. The wait staff was friendly and tried to be as attentive as possible, but they were obviously understaffed. The pacing of the dinner was terrible, One of the kitchen staff had to bring our appetizer after my wife had already gotten her lobster bisque. If you like your steak house noisy, with an in-enforced dress code and the ambience of red Robin, then this is the steakhouse for you

The steak was perfectly seasoned and prepared, and so tender I could cut it with a fork. The seabass and salmon entrees were also excellent. Our waiter, Manny, was very welcoming and attentive. My only two complaints were with the cocktails. In my opinion, neither a Manhattan or Old-Fashioned should be served on the rocks. Also, the Manhattan was made with Southern Comfort, which is a poor substitute for a good vermouth. Nitpicks aside, it was a great meal. We will definitely be back.

A marvelous dinner. Greeted warmly and seated promptly. Our waiter was perfect, met us with a a smile, shared a good personality and his timing of our drinks, salads and meals was spot on. Decanted our wine and followed up to ensure we had everything that we wanted. Two managers came by to say hello and see that we were well taken care of. A wonderful meal. Steaks were out of this world as always. Returning in a week for Mother's Day!

Every year I choose to celebrate my birthday at Ruth's Chris. It never disappoints. Food is wonderful and service is always above everywhere else I have ever been. While we enjoy all the servers Teri is our favorite.
