  • Ruth's Chris is located below the ground level at the south east corner of Adelaide W and University Ave at the Hilton Hotel. I like Ruth's. The last time I was at a Ruth's was the newly opened location near the airport exactly 3 months ago to the day we went to visit the Ruth's downtown. Last fall Yelp had an Elite event at this particular Ruth's and this was my first return back to this location where I was introduced to the establishment. During that event we were given the history of Ruth's Chris and Ruth Fertel and as I had mentioned in my review of the airport location, the story is actually pretty fascinating because Ruth did things well ahead of her time. Back to this location however, the downtown Hilton version of Ruth's is far more of a classic and formal decor as opposed to the location at the airport. The airport although more contemporary was in my opinion a bit "nouveau" while the downtown location just feels more like how a good steak house and restaurant should be. Even if you take the decor and ambiance out of the picture the food is still the food. The check in offers a coat check while we were escorted to our table where our one of our party was already waiting. The service is very attentive here and the experience seems to be basically that everybody is there to help and please. I ran into Mike who had been running the show during the Yelp event and he was happy I was back for a visit. Our waiter, Paul knew the menu inside out and was checking in to make sure everything met our expectations. We were 4 so we each ordered our own main and had a few a la carte sides to share. The mushrooms are just so amazing I had to get them again. I don't think I can come to Ruth's and not get the cremini mushrooms to share. Our other side we ended up getting the potatoes au gratin which I hadn't tried before. We also had fries to share as well. While my wife went with the small filet medallions and shrimp this time I decided I'd go off board and go with the T-Bone instead of my standard which is typically one of the types of ribeye. The T-Bone is also a big cut, 22 ounces so basically almost a pound and a half which I ordered medium. I prefer medium or medium rare mostly. There's something about when the plates come out, even if it's not yours and a nearby table's order which is that smell of sizzling butter on those 500 degree hot plates and that sound and smell is just so wow. The T-Bone which was just great through and through from start to finish is a very consistent cut. The round portion while a bit more tender is generally the smaller side of the steak but overall the meat consistency is more solid hearty than the more marbled ribeye. I liked the T-Bone but overall I think I still prefer the ribeye. I had accumulated over 160 points which I had to use soon because the loyalty program points are only good for 90 days and most of those points were from the Black Friday special they had basically offering 50% points back on gift card purchases. I really like Ruth's but it's a special occasion place for me I'd have to say. Generally I think it's the type of place I'd go to maybe once or twice a year instead of say going more often. While I can't say I go out for a steak dinner often, I would much prefer to go do Ruth's than go to the other chains like the Keg, Canyon Creek, Chop, etc. Paul was a great for taking care of us and this place just feels overwhelmingly special overall. The airport location may be just minutes away from home but I prefer the downtown location because I like the atmosphere better.
