Ruth's Chris Steak House Lake Grove

It's Ruth's Chris! Very good food, outstanding service. Enjoyed it!

Had this been my first time eating here I would not return and it still will not be one of my first choices after this experience. The calamari appetizer was delicious as was the pomegranate martini. The appetizer was “placed” on the table so abruptly that a bunch of the calamari hopped off onto the table. Two of us ordered petite filets and one ordered the crab cake entree. We were told, just like at my previous visit, our entree plates will be 500 degrees and we should not touch them. During my previous visit this was once again explained when the entrées arrived then the plates were placed in front of each guest. This visit a man came out and said “hot plate, hot plate” and didn’t even place the plates in front of each guest, we had to use our napkins to move them over. Not really a huge deal but when you had a much different prior experience and are paying over $400 for a meal for three you have certain expectations. The presentation was lacking compared to the last visit, there were splatters on the plates and it just looked sloppy. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the blue cheese crust was delicious. The crab cakes didn’t look cooked, had zero flavor and although the plate was hot they were not. Our sides came out when we were halfway through our meal after reminding the waiter. The creamed spinach was absolutely delicious but the garlic mashed potatoes were nothing great, I would recommend the potatoes au gratin instead. For dessert we got the crème brûlée and it was delicious. We also got the chocolate duo which isn’t on the menu, it consists of a lava cake and a chocolate mousse and that also was delicious. Last visit I loved the espresso martini so I ordered another this visit, it was delicious but unfortunately it was 3/4 crema (foam) and 1/4 beverage. This is the second time at this location with two very different experiences. I will most likely give it another try since the first visit was exceptional but for these prices it really should be.

Every thing was great. The food was delish and the service was excellent. Only thing is they should have enough martini glasses for drinks. Guess it was a busy night.

We went for NY Eve, the bar and restaurant was pretty crowded. We got drinks that were made really well, the bartender clearly knew what he was doing! The overall service was good especially for a holiday. The food was also very good. Overall, we had a very nice experience and would recommend!

Waiter was new so I can’t hold it against him but , he had made several mistakes that made experience not so great for New Years Eve with family.
