Ruth's Chris Steak House

For Asheville Restaurant Week, I started at Ruth’s Chris, and it was a wonderful experience. It’s a really nice place with a great ambiance. I was expecting something very luxurious and formal, but instead, the atmosphere felt warm and elegant refined without being over the top. Our server, Justin, was absolutely incredible. Truly top notch service, he was extremely attentive, detail oriented, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The drink menu being on an iPad was a great touch, especially with photos of the cocktails so you can see the presentation before ordering. For drinks, I tried the Once Upon a Time in Mexico, a coconut ginger martini, and it was outstanding. The bread deserves a special mention: warm French bread with a perfectly crusty, crunchy exterior and

Johnny provided truly exceptional service—the best I've ever experienced at any restaurant. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and made spot-on recommendations that we absolutely loved. He handled our dietary adaptations and quirky questions with skill, patience, and a genuine smile. And the food? Out of this world. The BEST steak I've had in my entire life—perfectly cooked, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Ruth's Chris delivered an unforgettable dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommend—especially if you get Johnny as your server!

Three stars isn’t a great review, but I’d like to think this was an isolated experience. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I’ll start with the positives.

Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. After finishing the crab cakes, it took a long time for our soup and salad to arrive, and during that stretch no one checked in or acknowledged the delay. When our steaks finally came out, both were cooked rare even though we had

My fiancee and I celebrated her birthday at Ruth's Chris and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We requested a more intimate setting and they honored that without hesitation. That's one of the things we love about this location and why we keep coming back. Our waiter James, was exceptional. He was attentive without being overbearing, he made sure we had everything we needed plus more and he was genuinely personable. He added to the warmth of the evening and helped make the celebration feel special. The food was incredible as always, perfectly prepared and worth every bite. Overall, it was a beautiful experience, and we'll definitely be back.

The atmosphere was excellent and our waitress Cassie was the best. Unfortunately our filet was a letdown. They were cooked perfectly but really lacked flavor. Our sides of the sweet potato casserole and au gratin potatoes were fine but the steak left something to be desired. We were going to have bread pudding for dessert as it is one of our favorites but adding white chocolate was a deal breaker. I’d advise bringing back the original
