    Excellent experience. Food was fantastic, steak cooked to perfection. Sides are shareable. The hot plate kept the steak nice and warm throughout the meal. Will return.

    We had an EXCELLENT meal at Ruth's in Boston before heading to the Wang Center for a show! Our waitress was Kaily and she was excellent. Upbeat, smiling, and informative, we didn't wait for anything. She was attentive the entire meal and of course the food was outstanding! Two definite standouts would be the lamb chops - which were cooked perfectly & flavorful - and the Lobster Bisque, which I would go so far as to say has to be in the top 2 or 3 I have ever had! We look forward to dong it all again!

    Delicious food, waitress was very accommodating with suggestions, allowing splitting of a large steak. Celebrated our anniversary, dessert was a surprise. Did not rush us , asked before removing items on the table

    Ask for a table rather than a high top... the chairs were not very comfortable. Sometimes less is more with all the butter adds. The food was delicious and service was excellent.
