On the SE corner of Camelback & 22nd st is our favorite steak house around. Even though Ruth's Chris isn't exactly a hole in the wall we reviewed it last night & enjoyed every minute of it.
We called about 20 mins prior to our arrival & asked for a table that would accommodate our 2 kids & 2 adults. They were very accommodating & had a table ready for us when we arrived. We usually request a table in their side room so the kids don't disturb the other guests, they did this for us again no issues & we basically had our own wait staff taking care of us. They took our drink orders & had HOT bread on our table within 10 minutes from arriving & handing off the car to the $3.00 valet.
Unfortunately we didn't get the pictures of our salads but we sure did enjoy them. The wife got the steakhouse salad w/ ranch & I went w/ the Caesar. The wife got the petite fillet w/ extra butter $39.95 & garlic mash-potatoes as her side. She likes her steak cooked medium well & it was fantastic as always! If your steak is ever undercooked you can always count on the plate being 100+ degrees which allows you to cook the steak on your plate after cutting it.
I went with the large fillet & had them throw some shrimp on top of it $49.95 with extra butter. The pictures show the sides differently but my side was the cream spinach. Both of our dinners are part of Ruth's Chris special summer menu. If we had ordered all this ala cart it would have been over 20% more in price. We also love the BBQ butter which you can get as an extra for bread dipping & also to eat with the shrimp & steak. My fillet was larger than I've had lately & was wonderful. I love getting a coke w/ grenadine @ Ruth's, they have some brand of grenadine that tastes like no other I've had. It's a great mix to our meal for someone who doesn't drink alcohol.
With the summer menu you also get a nice dessert @ the end. This summer they're serving the berries & cream w/ a side of chocolate cake. The cake has a fantastic taste of chocolate but is too dry to enjoy much more than a bite or two. The berries & cream is a one of a kind delicateness of fruit & custard tasting cream.
SERVICE & VALUE: 10 out of 10. You get the best steak you'll find anywhere. The sides are incredible & the free bread is good enough to be charged for it. They will not nickle & dime you for sides of sauce, extra bread, refills, etc. Truly a place you can go & enjoy a night out, even with the kids. Service is always tip top, regardless of location. Other than the steak quality, I'd be willing to bet the service is their largest item of pride.
COMFORT: 10 out of 10. Never a long wait. You can always count on things being the way they're suppose to be @ Ruth's Chris.
VENUE & LOCATION: 9 out of 10. The location is as good as it gets for people of Phoenix. Looks north onto Camelback road & is only a mile east of the AZ-51 & Highland exit. It takes us less than 10 minutes to get there from downtown PHX. This particular location could use some updating with it's chairs, carpet, decorations, but we didn't go here to interior design; will not affect your meal whatsoever.
OVER ALL: A+ & we'll return monthly as we have for the past 5+yrs!
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE WONDERFUL PHood @ Ruth's Chris Phoenix!
