    We've been to this particular Ruth's Chris many times, usually for special occasions, and this time is was for our anniversary. We were treated like family, and the service, beverages and food were absolutely top-notch, per their usual standards. Hannah's Old Fashions were great, Justin did a wonderful job serving us, and Trish was very nice to us even though she was busy with one of the special event dinners in another room. We're looking forward to coming back soon!
