Going to Ruth’s Chris is more than just dinner. It’s a famous steakhouse that started a long time ago in New Orleans. They have rules, and one of those rules is dress code. They wanted to provide a comfortable and welcoming place for families. It states that ‘appropriate dress is required – from business casual to elegant.’ This means that this is not just any place to host guests.

So what exactly does such a dress code mean? They list what not to wear there. No sleeveless shirts or hats of any kind are allowed. Sportswear is also never allowed on the premises. Overly revealing clothing is also on the list provided. This helps guests better understand the requirements.

Intended method of booking

Compliance with the rules is not optional here. Restaurants can actually enforce them strictly, and management always has the right to refuse entry to customers. This ensures that everyone maintains high standards. Of course, this also ensures a very good dining experience. Consider your dress code before you arrive.

Planning a visit usually begins with reserving a place. It’s best to book on the Ruth’s Chris website, or you can call the restaurant directly. If you prefer, using OpenTable is good too. Multiple booking options make it easy for everyone.

Sometimes plans change, which does happen often. You can cancel your reservation anytime before your meal time. They want a few hours notice, which helps manage the table for others. How you cancel depends on how you initially booked. Booking online will result in a cancellation email link. A phone call also works well if you prefer to talk to someone.

Late arrivals are somewhat understandable. They have a 15 minute grace period. During this short period of time, your seat will be reserved for a short time. If you know you will be late, let them know ahead of time. They will try to accommodate your schedule. After fifteen minutes, they will do their best. Be aware that this is not always guaranteed.

Different areas of it have different seating rules. The main hall does recommend reserved seating, but the bar or lounge is a completely different story and you can easily access it at any time. Seating in the bar is allocated based on arrival time and the bar area does not take bookings at all. This is important when deciding your evening arrangements.

It is common to want a specific table or booth, and people often request this for special nights. They will do their best to accommodate any special requests from their guests. However, there are some places where space is limited, so please call ahead.

Guests can also decorate for the celebration, which is no problem, and they are more than welcome to be there to help you celebrate your happy event. Please mention your event when booking online and they will even add their own little touches for guests.

Losing things happens, and it’s usually annoying. Call the restaurant immediately if any items are missing. They are not responsible for your lost items, but they will certainly do their best to help you find them. If found, they will hold it for you.

Savouring Food

Once you know the rules, the real food begins. Aside from steaming steaks, there’s something to be said for the quality of the food here. Today, let’s explore what makes their food list unique.

There is no doubt that steak is still the heavy hitter.Ruth’s Chris takes great pride in the beef now. All the beef here is USDA Prime or Select, always the best grade. Cattle in the Midwest don’t start eating meat until after they’ve eaten their corn. Giving them certain foods will make the beef taste better. The staff trusts the suppliers to follow all safety regulations to the letter. You are sure to taste the finest steaks here.

There is more to the food here than steak. Although steak is the centre of attention, people sometimes need other foods. Here, kids can always eat from a menu prepared just for families. One of their goals is to make families feel welcome as well.

Classic Steak Tartare

This Salisbury steak with mushroom gravy is wonderful over mashed potatoes or rice. A great from-scratch recipe I found a long time ago. The gravy is still good without mushrooms. I’ve made it for my husband that way.
