Ruth's Chris Steak House - Irvine: Premier Steakhouse for Exceptional Dining & Celebration

Exceptional dinning experience. From my reservation confirmation to dessert! It was truly a wonderful experience. The food was perfect, the service (Jarred) is outstanding and ambiance is just right. We are fans of a few other “good” steak houses, this topped our best experiences elsewhere! Thank you for an extraordinary dinning experience!

We come here whenever we want to celebrate something big. It's where you want to splurge on a fantastic piece of meat. Bringing it out on a hot plate adds to the expensive feel. Yes, they have plenty to offer. And everything on the menu is mouthwateringly great! But do not waste time or money on anything other than the meat. I would rather skip that appetizer and tag that amount to the steak instead. All cuts are on point and melt in your mouth. The staff is very friendly and is accommodating. They will get you the right drinks to match your food order; very smart. It's a steak house. They offer seafood and the sort, but when you're here, just get the steaks. Else, don't be taking up spots where meat lovers can be enjoying their food! Also, make sure you reserve a few days ahead!

Tried their happy hour menu for the first time, and it didn't disappoint.  Their happy hour prices might be regular prices to others, but for quality food, great service and atmosphere, it's worth it. We ordered the spicy shrimp, steak sandwich, and goat cheese & artichoke dip. Shared these 3 appetizers and down with some good cocktail drinks or wine, top with good company and conversation, it's a happy occasion. Initially thought that 3 appetizers won't be enough to share with 3 people, but we were wrong. Can't even finish the bread on the steak sandwich so I ended up picking just the steak. It was tender and tasty. We didn't even finish the goat cheese and artichoke dip, maybe because of the bread was filling at every bite. We'll definitely be back for more, happy hour and/or dinner.

I usually like Ruths chris wherever I go. This place is no exception, the food comes out super fast, servers are attentive and knowledgeable and everything is always well executed. We had the Ruths chopped salad, Button Mushrooms, Asparagus, and the cowboy ribeye. The meat seemed a little tougher than what I am used to from other Ruth's Chris locations but everything was just as tasty and well flavored. My only gripe was that my water glass was left empty for a few minutes, something I'm not used to and something that I get annoyed with pretty easily.

We started with the shrimp and fried calamari—both came out hot and flavorful, with the shrimp in a buttery sauce that was great with bread. For mains, we had the filet with shrimp and the ribeye with lobster. The filet was tender and juicy, while the ribeye had that bold, rich flavor you’d expect—pairing it with lobster felt like such a treat. Beyond the steak, the side dishes are rich and flavorful— spinach and mac & cheese are definitely must-tries. Service was attentive and everything came out perfectly cooked. Great spot for a classic steakhouse experience.

1st time there. Amazing experience. Amazing food. Great old fashioned. One of the best creme brûlée I’ve tried. Small attention to detail go a long way.

Excellent dinner, we split the Porterhouse for 2. Cooked to a perfect Medium/rare. Pink warm center, beautifully caramelized outside with that amazing butter sauté sauce. Mushrooms, creamed spinach and Squash sides were beautifully prepared and served. Onion soup and Ceasar salad also excellent. Birthday dessert for me, and an Espresso Martini for my wife.

David was a wonderful server, and we truly enjoyed both the service and the ambience. The food was incredible overall. One small suggestion would be to slightly reduce the amount of butter on the plate, as it can be a bit overpowering—especially with a steak that already stands well on its own.
