My family was visiting from Ontario for my graduation and my moms birthday. As a combined celebration dinner we decided to give this place a try as they were looked to experience that amazing Alberta Beef - and what better way than a highly acclaimed steak house? In the end: we were extremely disappointed.
There was 5 of us altogether. We were first introduced to our server Kevin, who seemed... more

We came here for an educational meeting after work. The restaurant is easy to find. It's down the street from Hotel Macdonald, along 100 Street and Jasper Avenue. We parked at the Impark lot beside the restaurant - quite pricey! We paid $15 for the evening. We thought it would be worth it to park there simply for the convenience. However, we later found out from the hostess, that if you park in... more

Great meal here. At the top of the price list but the ambience, service, & food & drink quality was worth it.

Truthfully the first time I went here was a couple years ago and it was really good. Great service and food. However since then I've been a handful of times and I feel like it gets progressively worse. This last time our waiter had no clue about the menu and wasn't able to answer any questions. I had asked for a prosecco and he didn't really understand and suggested a Riesling. It felt like... more

I've never had the urge to visit Ruth's Chris Steak House because:

a) It's expensive
b) It's a chain
c) It's expensive

Alas, there is a time for everything and my two trusty co-workers, D-Bone and 0andThree, decided to check them out on a Friday for lunch. The interior is quite classy with two areas for you to dine in. We were ushered into the lounge area where our on double duty bartender... more

Called them for a dinner reservation for two and the lady I spoke with asked if we are dining for a special occasion or just a regular date night. I told them we are celebrating our anniversary that night and so when we arrive they have seated us in a romantic spot by the fire place. Our table had like little gold and silver confetti cut in a shape of balloon and words Happy Anniversary which... more

Went here for my birthday and had a party of 6 people. First off they didn't give us a booth that I had asked for because they said it would be too crowded so we got sat at a round table. Which was fine but when we saw the booths they were massive and would have easily sit 6 people comfortably. The food was absolutely amazing. The steak literally melted in your mouth and we had a variety of... more

It seems like this restaurant has gone down hill.

We have had "better" steak for less than half the price at other steak houses. Very disappointing.

There is nothing here to justify $54 for a steak, $10 for a small side of asparagus and $19 for a glass of wine. It will leave you and your guests questioning how such a restaurant can stay in business.

Not recommended - food quality below... more

Had the $39 Sunday special. Wonderful.
Salad was scrumptious.
Steak with Prawns was perfect.
Desert yummy.
What more can s man want?

We've all heard the almost mythical stories of the Ruth's Chris steak. How could they possibly be true? A steak is a steak, right?

Well, when our team at work booked a celebratory dinner at Ruth's Chris, I came face to face with the fabled unicorn: a prime cut tender steak, cooked to perfection, arriving simmering in butter.

I had never tasted a steak so exquisite until that moment. In fact,... more

steak is not that good. Server are not well trained. "A-OK"; We spent $100 per person and with this price range they gotta improve

Been here a bunch of times and it used to be one of my favorite restaurants but it seems like it's gone a little downhill. The food isn't as good as it used to be and it's really salty. Maybe its just me... Also the parking situation is awful.

Great service. Free coat check with $200 dinner purchase. What a steal!

Finally dined here last night with my better half. There is parking behind the building or down the street. We were a little underdressed so we opted to dine in the lounge. Cozy, intimate atmosphere with rich colors ... ( I loved the floor to ceiling curtains), the music playing was perfect.. not too loud and not to soft and the songs were dreamy and romantic. Perfect for a date night. I liked... more

WoW USDA grade beef is sure tasty! It was feast time.

Came for dinner on a sunday evening, I had planned to order the fresh whole lobster but was informed they didn't have any fresh atlantic lobster, but suggested a lobster tail.

I am a big steak fan so thought I would try the usda grade t bone steak, I heard the sides were big so I didn't order any appetizer but asked for fresh baby spinach... more

A group of us visited this restaurant recently and had outstanding treatment from the reception area and our waitress was very very fun and professional... she knew the menu inside,out and treated us like royalty. We had everything from the date night food items, to steaks, to the seafood, and of course the chocolate sin cake and creme brule. This was for a staff night out and it set the tone... more

We went back to Ruth's Chris after a not so great experience earlier in the year. We were not disappointed! Shawna our server was professional and service top notch. Even though it was a Saturday, the date night menu happened to be available that evening and perfect for the two of us!

We started with the Ahi Tuna which was seared to perfection and literally melted in your mouth. Followed that... more

Fantastic

Jeff and his team did a fantastic job and kept the kitchen open for us despite our late arrival. Food, service and ambience were exceptional. Will definitely be back.

Great Beer selection, decent food, mediocre service

Always impressed with the beer selection and knowledge. Underground seems understaffed but for the most part are friendly. The pulled pork nachos are delicious as well as their creative dinner specials! I love going here but I always order two beer at a time because I know I might be waiting a while. All in all a solid place with... more

Food was superb

I have been a few times and never been disappointed. My friends first time and she said she savoured every bite. We shared the two petite steaks with shrimp. No room for dessert. Very elegant dining.

Beautiful room, gracious Service and wonderful food

A great value and careful attention to detail. This is a restaurant that will not disappoint. General Manager Jeff Balchin and his crew deserve a lot of credit for what they've achieved here. One of Edmonton's best dining experiences and a great value for money. The room itself is worth the price of admission and the service is world class.... more

We went to Ruth Chris for their Wednesday night date night last week. The food was fabulous. Everything was cooked to perfection. The steak was cooked to perfection. The Ahi tuna melted in your mouth and was absolutely amazing. The chocolate sin cake was to die for. Great deal for a very affordable price. Recommend for any couple looking for an amazing dinner on a Wednesday night. Below is what... more

Over rated and overpriced

Streak overcooked and overpriced. Corn fed beef not nearly as good as Alberta beef. I do not care for ala carte as the other stuff came long after the steak did. The potato was obviously microwaved. Really???? For that kind of money?????? Choice of other sides extremely disappointing. The sides mostly had gluten in them and they were not offering... more

Back in town to celebrate the birth of our first grandchild and decided to give Ruth's Chris, Edmonton a second go based on the courtesy extended by manager, Jeff during last visit.

The salads - both Caesar and tomato salads - were tasty and not overly large which was a happy surprise.

She who must be obeyed ordered a really tasty ahi tuna served very rare and accompanied by what I believe is... more

Loved the food. Least expensive item on the menu was delicious. Guilt trip followed (business expense).

Good food as always

Great place to get a good steak, a bit pricey but everything is prepared properly. Service is good. Nice for special occasion. Have been here several times.

Birthday Dinner

This was our 3rd visit to this location. It's one of those places you go to when you're prepared to indulge and that's that. My hubs booked a table for four for my birthday. We arrived early and had a drink at the bar, which was a lot of fun, as the bartender and wait staff had quite a camaraderie... more

Does anyone work here

We went into the underground last night for a drink and a bite to eat. We found a a empty table and sat down. It was the only table available and it was dirty from the people sitting there previously. We waited about 10 min, no service. The table across from us left so I cleared our table and took... more

Absolutely Amazing

My husband and I took his mom for dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on Jasper ave in Edmonton in April 2014 and it was absolutely amazing! We had the stuffed chicken breast, stuffed mushrooms, tenderloin steak, lamb chops.... and more. The service is outstanding (we ate in the dining room). It is definitely expensive, but worth every penny in my... more

The food: fantastic.

The ambiance: beautiful. Could do with a bit more space

The prices: $50 for steak. $8 for each subsequent side.

The service: Sloppy! Our server, Michelle, provided inferior service. She was unenthusiastic, forgetful, somewhat terrible!

Conclusion: this is a great location for celebrations. Don't let your server diminish the quality of your experience. Demand excellence,... more

Great tap room

This place had a wide selection of great local microbrews as well as regional favorites. The food was above average for a pub and the staff was very helpful on recommending other hotspots. Highly recommend.

Hidden Gem with Great Beer Selection

A little gem in downtown Edmonton hidden in plain. Not attention grabbing off the street but once you take the escalators downstairs into the place the atmosphere fills you in. Lines of beer on tap including a rotating daily list of Draft beers. Didn't have the opportunity to but the beer samplers looked great. (the 20 beers for groups of... more

I have been here 3 times and each time my experience was fairly good. The service was very good each time. All the appetizers have been tasty. The Ahi Seared Tuna is delicious. The giant sized onion rings are crispy and not too greasy. The steak can be very good sometimes and sometimes can be off the cooking level you ask for. I like how you have the choice of steak from Alberta or Wisconsin,... more

A good meal and a good beer

Enjoyed a lovely meal here. I was introduced to a variety of different ales, but my favourite was the grapefruit beer. I loved how they offered samples before purchasing because I am not a real ale fan. It gave me a chance to try something new.

Just Awesome

I went to Ruth's for the second time and it was even better than I remember from 4 years ago. Excellent service, even though we had a large group. Drinks were good, the wine list was extensive (although over priced), and the steaks were second to none. They specialize in American corn fed beef, which is a nice change. I... more

Ok

Overpriced for what it was.
Steak great, but you pay extra for any sides.
Would not go back a second time - tho I did enjoy the "one time"!
Staff were courteous.

a great steak experience

a great steak and pleasant surroundings. Staff exceptional , attentive and food quality second to none.

Upscale-like place with nothing too special

Good selection of beers, not bad on the price, good space, but a bit complicated to find. You actually have to get inside a residential building (the pub sign is very small on the building wall outside), and take the escalators (!) downstairs to the entrance of the place.
Service was very good and efficient, considering I was there for... more

great for special occasions or if you can afford it everyday whilst in town

The steak was the best my husband has ever had. I really enjoyed my fish it was perfectly cooked and the presentation was excellent. The wine list is very extensive. The waiters were always available but not intrusive. All in all a must to visit

the worst restaurant experience in the last 5 years

The steaks were burnt outside and tasted horrible, I ordered medium and got rare, we could not believe that you can ruin such a great steak by grilling it so badly. This is the main feature of this restaurant -the steaks. The side dishes were very plain and nothing too exciting. The desert was good (apple pie and no bake... more

Best service and steaks in the city

The meal was great from the appetizers to the main course and dessert. Excellent and prompt service. Atmosphere was great

Wifes birthday

The best meal and experience i have had in a restraunt.. Found was amazing, service was incredible and the environment was intimate.

sizzling steaks at tableside

We have eaten here for a few special occasions as it is a treat. The price and the service generally match the quality. There is a choice of grain-fed or Alberta beef. Portions are generous, and all items are a la carte.

Ruth's Chris's steak house started off well with a fairly decent waitress service our cheese bead. Our drinks were ordered then after looking at the menu we decided appies at 20 a piece were good enough vs $60 filets. The crab stuffed mushrooms tasted like stove top instant potatoes mind you the Thai chicken bites were extraordinary. The bill for two appies and two drinks were $70 plus tip. Pro... more

Pleasant Location

My wife and I had lunch here with another couple on a bitterly cold day. We were seated quickly in a warm location facing a gigantic fireplace.
We were able to order sandwiches at lunch, and still had the option of the more expensive dinner choices. Sandwiches cost around $22 and come with soup, salad or fries. My steak sandwich... more

Food was excellent...service was slow

Stopped in for lunch as a group of 2 while at a conference. We ordered early, before a reserved group of 14 ordered. They got their food first and my buddy waited a half hour for his apple tart dessert. The food was great, however.

Hearty Lunch Menu

We went with friends for a leisurely lunch on a cold winter day. There are plenty of options for lunch. My husband began with the delicious shrimp cocktail which was served with four large shrimp. Two of us ordered their French Onion Soup which was good. We ordered the Prime Rib Sandwiches which were yummy but a bit messy. My... more

Night out in Edmonton

Ordering is different you have to order everything separate. The rib eye steak was sizzling on heated plates. We shared the baked potato which was big enough for 2 and shared a plate of asparagus with hollandaise sauce it was a perfect sauce. We had 1lb of crab which was to die for. The waiter was very professional. This restaurant... more

A wonderful experience

Recently went here to celebrate our anniversary. The service was great and we were made very welcome by the staff. The food was very good, my only issue being with the asparagus that was not cooked to our liking. The wine list is extensive, with some very good options, but expensive. Overall, we had a great meal and experience...and would... more

Good Food, Well Done Expensive Parking

A party of 7 for a farewell dinner on an early Thursday evening. Bar is well stocked and the barman knows his cocktails and will make others to your order. Various dishes were ordered by the party all of which were good. As someone else mentioned it is a bit stupid giving you the main course on a plate which... more

I came here for dinner a few weeks ago for the first time. Firstly I was impressed with the vault room. We were a large group of over twenty and the service was top notch.

The appetizers taste better than they look. The chicken skewers were very yummy, bruschetta was good, the bacon wrapped scallops were cooked perfectly. The cheese bread was also very good as well.

For my main I had the 16... more

Very good steaks but at wallet emptying prices

How much can you charge to grill a steak and put it on a ridiculously small plate, well according to the prices at Ruth's Chris, a lot. Over the past couple of months I've been to Ruth's Chris for 2 business lunches and 1 business dinner. I'll be the first to admit that the food and service were very good... more

First Visit Impressed

This was the first time we visited this restaurant, pub....what ever you want to call it. Lots of different beers to try, food was excellent and price was reasonable. I would go again.

Yet Another 5 stars

Excellent resturant, nice atmosphere, Excellent food, drinks and desserts! The price is up there, but the quality is Great!

If you're looking for a fancy restaurant with great service, this is the place for you. However, you have to not mind over paying for what you're getting. The steaks are OK but I've had better for 1/3 the cost. Parking is alright as long as you find a spot behind the restaurant. For me, really it just comes down to what I am getting for what I am paying. And I can't seem to justify the bill at... more

Great

We've never had a bad, or even mediocre experience at a Ruth's Chris. We came on short notice without a reservation and we were quickly and graciously seated and enjoyed a wonderful dinner with Alberta beef steak (delicious), potatoes and spinach. Our server was fantastic, too!

Mixed Feelings

I made a reservation at this location for my boyfriend for his birthday.
We had never been to the restaurant before and I had read some of the reviews on TripAdvisor prior to our visit and it seemed like the reviews were either really good or really lousy.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, they greeted me by last name and... more

This Location is a Letdown

Love Ruth's Chris Steakhouse franchise, visit them in every city I've been to and always had a great experience EXCEPT for this one in Edmonton. The location is very busy on a week night and on week-ends. They have one hostess, who has to answer phone calls, see to your coats, seat you, etc. Understaffed. We had to wait a... more

If the prices at Ruth's Chris were one-third to one-half lower, then what it offers would represent good value for money. Please note, however, and for the avoidance of doubt, this isn't the very heights of fine dining and it's very overpriced to boot. I doubt that I'll be making a return trip.

Whoever owns this place needs to polish up the service a little bit. It's unacceptably slipshod,... more

Four stars

Busy Saturday night so ate in the bar.
Porter house was perfectly cooked and cheesecake smashing.
Service was efficient and friendly.

I have been to Ruth's Chris Many times and I must say this place never disappoints, the service is top notch and the food is always AMAZING . No doubt the best steak I have ever had in Edmonton . I have tried nearly ever side dish on the menu and they are all great but the sweet potatoes are by far the best . When ever we have friends in town and we want to go out for a nice dinner we usually... more

When I feel like a steak, this is my place to go. I really like US steaks, it is probably because the cows are corn fed and the meat a little sweeter. Never an issue with temperature here.
Food :
- Crab cakes : good amount of lump crab, not a lot of filler. Not as good as Del Frisco's in the US but the best in Edmonton
- Steak : what else would I get from a steakhouse. It's always the Ribeye or... more

Meh

I attended a drug company sponsored dinner so I do not know what the price is but I'm sure it was expensive. I ordered the salmon filet which was dry and tasteless. The mashed potatoes were luke warm. The brocoli was over steamed. An ice tea did not even include a slice of lemon. Parking behind the restaurant was jam... more

Great Beer - Mediocre Food

The Underground has a near unmatched selection of brews to choose from that are constantly rotating. I managed to try quite a few, some that were delicious and some that are definitely not worth mentioning.
The food that we tried (nachos, chicken fingers, standard bar foods) were pretty subpar though in my mind.
I am also not a big fan... more

Awesome Bar with Secret

The Underground Tap and Grill is a great place for a beer, stout or cider on tap. One beer menu that stays the same and one that changes on a regular basis. I have attended this pub on 4 occasions. Twice for dinner, once for drinks and appetizers and once for brunch.
The first and last time had questionable service,... more

Tons of beer on tap

When in Edmonton this is place to to try many different beers. Great flights of beer where you can choose from 4 8 12 20 or 50 beers. We learned to start at the far right and work our way left on the taps. Made it easy to choose. The have local, provincial, and various country beers. Great place where... more

Food quality is OK. I have eaten there a couple of times and find the steaks not very flavorful. Not sure if it is the cut of meat or the cooking method. Ambience and service are very good.

You can get a better steak for 1/3 to 1/2 the price at other steak houses in the city.

Good service, tasty food

The wait staff made the experience terrific - and the food was tasty. Close to Shaw and good for an informal group dinner.

not much to brag about

sorry steak, lukewarm service, and way too much money!. it's alright, but not much to brag about. the food is pedestrian, the service was slow and not professional, with a decor that is even more pedestrian and predictable. for the amount of money they want for a steak, I was expecting to find gold on my plate. no such luck.

Not the Ruth's Chris I Remembered

I have dined at several Ruth's Chris Steak Houses over the years, including this one, and always had a wonderful lunch or evening meal. On October 9th, friends and I visited #100 in downtown Edmonton for drinks and dinner. We arrived on time, and were seated promptly. We ordered several drinks and a bottle of 2011 red wine ($65 range).... more

Great Beer Selection

Fantastic and interesting beer selection. We had the Poutine au Canard which was absolutely amazing! A nice place for a quiet conversation with great and very unique beers and great food. Not a place if you want to watch the game.

When you're paying $50 for a solo steak (no sides), you expect the very best. You want the highest level of service...the tastiest food - put it simply, you want the emperor of dining experiences.

This was my second time at Ruth's Chris and every bit of my dining experience was as fantastic as the first time.

We ordered gin caesars to start (the restaurant serves cocktails as doubles), as... more

Classy Lunch for three

I happened to be in the heart of our city on October 8th for an appointment and invited my daughters to lunch letting them pick the restaurant. We ended up at Ruth's Chris and I was not disappointed. They have a nice lunch selection and we ate it in a very classy facility. We had with us a 3 month... more

Not worth the money

We were staying at the Westin and poped over the Ruth's for dinner. We got a table in the bar, which was great. I had the tenderloin, ordered medium - got well. The sides were huge, but not hot. Overall 2 people dinner was 180 - that's pretty high for a not so amazing meal!

A lady at my wife's work was selling $100 gift certificates as part of a charity fundraiser, which is why we went. The overall bill was over $200, which is way too expensive for the quality of food. If it was not for the gift certificates, we would not have gone.

Food and ambiance was wonderful, our server was overly confident but uninformed ? He advised us of the specials for the evening were tomato/pasta soup, carrots were the veggies and a rack of Venison, when in fact the specials were mushroom soup, green beans & Venison chops !! Great to be confident, not so good when your unprepared. We enjoy our lovely dinner, and even our overly confident... more

Wonderful food in a cozy bar

Our food was great! Scallops melted in your mouth and perfectly seasoned! We sat in the bar to have a relaxing meal, our waitress was great! Even if your full try the crime brûlée!!

Great meal and atmosphere

Went to Ruth's Chris as a large group and had a private dining room for a birthday party. Great service and food was good. Tuna starter was the best as was the bread pudding. Given a tour of the building as it had been a bank at one point. Service was constant and drinks were refilled continually. Fun time.

Wow loved it

Service was amazing and food was excellent, we had the steak and my friend had the beer battered fish and it was terrific. All the beer choices would have been overwhelming if it were not for the fact that they let you sample the ones you want to try for free before you buy! Very very cool place really enjoyed... more

Fantastic selection of beers & divine molten lava chocolate cake

I was in Edmonton for training for a week and sadly just stumbled into this place on my last day. I wish I had found it sooner! I love it! They have sooo many beers to choose from and have a great selection of hoppy IPAs. After being really disappointed with the service, selection & imposter IPA (Keith's) at the... more

Sooooo good

Wow, wonderful service, ambience and food. Expensive but worth it! We went with three children and were treated so well. They do have a kids menu and the portions are plenty big (comes with ice cream).
The meals are generous in size so you can easily share and don't need to order lots of sides (no side comes with the... more

Would not go back there ever, very very expensive for not very good meal. I had a t-bone steak ($59), lobster tail $30), baked potato($8) and onion rings ($10) and only enjoyed the onion rings, the steak was tough, the lobster tail was also tough and the potato was not cooked fully. My wife had 1/2 of my ceasar salad (which was good) and an appy of the coconut shrimp for $19 and of the 5... more

Poor quality food, pre-made Caesar salads not fresh, over cooked flavorless steaks. There are much better meals for the money!!

We had rented out the banquet room for a friends 18th birthday and the service was terrible. The kitchen knew that one steak was not good to eat, but rather than preparing new steaks they served the spoiled ones anyway! At the end while ordering dessert two guests were going to split a pie. One person in our party had recently been in a car accident and they had to wear a neck brace and the... more

STEAK!

This was my first time visiting a Ruth's Chris Steak House and I could not have been more impressed. The quality of the food as well as the experience was amazing. I ordered the Alberta AAA steak rare and it was the best steak I've ever had. I could nearly cut this steak with my fork. We also had quite a few of the side dishes but those are barely in my memory as I could only think... more

This is my favourite place to eat in Edmonton, particularly because of the atmosphere.
The lounge is ideal for drinks before or after a meal elsewhere. You'll often see NHL or other sports teams in the lounge, when they're staying at the nearby Westin.
This is the only place you can purchase Dom Perignon by the glass.
The dining room always has exceptional service, the waiters are particularly... more

I really enjoyed the dining experience I had at this restaurant. I would say it is a bit pricy, but I look at it as an occasional treat. Our waiter was really good, and the service overall was great. The food was enjoyable, and I thought the steaks were much better than average.

Invited to a business lunch by a colleague. This is the 3rd time I've eaten at Ruth Chris in Edmonton. The food is pretty good - not great though. Prices for anything other than steak are fairly reasonable. I had the Ahi Tuna Salad - nice gingery dressing, decent serving of tuna and you can't really mess up mixed greens. There were no other vegetable comprising the salad, but it's a steak... more

I've eaten here four times now, most recently tonight.

Tonight, Aggie was our server, and she was sublime in her skills. She was able to explain things clearly and with unique comparisons, she was complimentary and kind, she was discrete, she had a sense of humor ... please ask for her to be your server, you won't be disappointed!

I had the ribeye, which was marvelously marbled -- not a heart... more

What an amazing place to eat. If you want a steak dinner that is to die for, you need to come here. The ambiance really sets the mood and I felt like the room was secluded and semi-private. I appreciate this because I like to be able to hear the other people talk when they are sitting at my table. Our waiter was knowledgable and very professional which I appreciated. The dishes are large, so I... more

The food itself was wonderful. But our waiter was not knowledgeable of their house wines, the timing of delivery of bread, water was poor.

Prices are high, food quality is excellent, but the service was lacking.

Was here with friends as part of a celebratory dinner and walked away proclaiming it a wonderful night.
The old adage of "You only get what you pay for" holds true for this restaurant and whilst splurging on two bottles of wine the meal was extraordinary.

I've been to Ruth's Chris a couple of times now. First time for a company function, and the second time this evening for an anniversary meal for my wife and I. Both times the food has been far the best I've tasted anywhere in the world. The Steaks and Lamb are to die for. Great wine selection as well.
Tonight we ordered way too much, so my wife said she would like it packed up. I told her 'not... more

Ahhhhhhhhh Review #200 on YELP

BEST OF THE BEST IN EDMONTON!!!!! I cannot believe I have missed checking out Ruths Chris before tonight. What awesome meals and superb service for our table of six.

Everyones steaks were hung and prepared to succulent perfection. Wow so tender and juicy. The seared tuna appetizer was to die for. The side orders of sweet potatoes, mushrooms, asparagus, green... more

There's no two ways about it, Ruth's Chris is a reasonably expensive restaurant. Complaining about the price of dinner at Ruth's is like complaining about the price of a Porsche. The price is part of the mystique and exclusivity. I've been to the Mississauga location (about 5 years ago) and enjoyed it.

The Edmonton Ruth's was nice and our waiter was courteous, informative and appeared to be an... more

If you want to celebrate and bring a client to a great place this is a good place to go. My Dad and I went for steak/wine recently and it came to around $350. We quite enjoyed it but thought the pricing was a bit high for what it was. The steaks aren't Albertan which I thought was a bit weird but it still pretty good.

My boyfriend took me for a super fancy dinner at Ruth Chris... and I honestly was let down. I feel like if you're going to pay $50 for just a slab of meat it had better be better than what I can cook myself. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but not $50 good. It was average in my eyes. I actually found my man's steak awful...
The Caesar salad was phenomenal, as well as the appies... if you can... more

Went there a few years ago on the first weekend after moving to Edmonton. Wanted to celebrate the move by treating ourselves to a very nice dining experience. Well, that's what we were hoping for but we were really disappointed (have never been back since then).

Not surprisingly, we ordered steaks. We asked for one medium rare and one medium to well done. The medium rare came out just fine,... more

This is a nice place and has great food, although I'm not sure why they still use US steak. Yes, I know its a US based restaurant, but come on.... Anyways, this place is mostly for the rich and/or older crowd. If your under 30, you might not see anyone your age here and their decor and prices are for the older and well off crowd so did I feel comfortable being a 25 year old middle class kind of... more

This place does not live up to its hype. Unheard of, red ox, jacks grill or even the keg is better than here. It's not even plated nicely. The ambience is cool though, but not reason enough to go here. The food isn't terrible but its not worth the money.

I had never heard of Ruth's Chris before I moved to Edmonton. I kind of laughed when I heard that they bring in all USDA grade steaks when the restaurant in in Alberta...not using Alberta beef, alright then. Guess we don't adapt to our environment with this chain.

I really wish I could give the restaurant a 3.5 star instead of a 4. The service was really good, the matire d' at the front door... more

Holy dinner batman!

Kendra and I went to Ruth Chris, since it was right next door to our hotel. I have been to the one in Calgary, so I already knew it was awesome. But wow.... I forgot how awesome it was!

I was checking out teh other reviews, and honestly, I was totally surprised by the 1 - 3 star reviews. I couldn't even give this place a 4 star, because it was a first-class experience.

I... more

Good food? Yes. Fantastic food? Not really.

The service and ambiance was good, I have to admit. And we did feel special.

We spent over $80 per person excluding drinks, I felt that we could have had a better fine dining experience at an independant steakhouse.

Certainly not a bad restaurant, but not worthy of its legendary reputation.

Martin

Consistency? Not at this "franchise" Ruth Chris. Started out with the seared Ahi as an appetizer and they COOKED it - it was medium, horrible! Sent it back and they returned about 7 minutes later with a properly seared Ahi plate - much better - but not great - especially for $19.
Dinner was worse and incredibly dissappointing. Ordered the Pettite Filet with the Jumbo Shrimp @ $52. The shrimp... more

Went here with my wife last evening to celebrate a special occasion. My halibut was spectacular, along with the salad and green beans almondine. My wife ordered a filet mignon medium well. The first one came out very well done, after that went back the second one came out rare. C'mon guys for the prices you charge you should be able to cook a steak. Very frustrating....ruined the experience.... more
