We loved it all, especially the kind and attentive service of our waiter and the nice girls that served us the very hot plates. Special thanks for the birthday candle and chocolate wishes! It made my day! We also loved Walnut Creek!

We had a delightful evening at Ruth’s Chris Steak House — definitely one for the books. We kicked off the night with a glass of red wine for everyone in the family. I can’t remember which one I ordered, but it paired well with the meal and helped set the tone for a relaxed, elegant dinner. For the appetizer, we shared the fried calamari — served with a sweet chili sauce, which definitely isn’t your typical take. My family wasn’t the biggest fan of the sweet twist, but I personally enjoyed it. It was different in a good way, giving the calamari a light, crispy kick with a sweet heat that stood out. For the main course, we split two bone-in porterhouse steaks, which are a signature at Ruth’s Chris — each one comes with both the tenderloin (filet) and the New York strip on either side of the bone. Perfect for sharing, especially when you want the best of both worlds. The steak was incredibly tender, juicy, and you could really taste the depth of the beef flavor. That said, I did feel it needed just a little salt — not a big issue since they let you season to taste, but worth noting. On the side, we went classic steakhouse with lobster mac & cheese, creamed spinach, and mashed potatoes. The lobster mac was rich, creamy, and had a good amount of lobster throughout — definitely a favorite. The mashed potatoes were buttery and smooth, absolutely delicious. The creamed spinach was fine, not really my thing, but it balanced the richness of the other sides well. Service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance made it feel like a special occasion without being over-the-top. All in all, a very good meal — great food, solid service, and a cozy yet upscale vibe. Would absolutely return, especially for a family dinner or celebration.
