    Little lunch reunion for two sisters who hadn't been together in 10 years. It was a very pleasant lunch...food was delicious, portions generous and service well paced which made "catch up" conversation possible, Would visit this location again when in Columbia.

    Worst meal I have ever had at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Ahi tuna tasted like it was coated in Old Bay seasoning. Twin filets were over cooked and had tough. Sent the asparagus back twice. Only good thing about the meal was the wine and au gratin potatoes. Manager didn’t seem to care and only took the asparagus off our bill which still was almost $200 for 2 of us. Highly dissatisfied!!!

    My wife and I went for our birthdays together. The Caesar salad was great. Crab cakes were best I’ve ever had. We both had filet and shrimp. Mine was excellent. My wife’s filet and shrimp was not as flavorful as my experience. Service was great! Table was not very private. Ambience was too dark and volume was loud. Overall a very good dining experience!

    Construction was going on that we were not aware of. Food a long time to come out. Some of the food was prepared incorrectly. Table was not cleared off to make room for food.
