This location has now been visited by us twice. This time was just as good as the first years ago. The food was heaven. Every. Single. Dish. The waitress (Kasey) along with the staff that brought out the food and even doggy bagged it were respectful, polite, had enough personality that there were laughs and that means a lot. We had a great night and we appreciated the services there. We recommend it! Make a reservation!

It's been awhile since but we stopped in the area. On 6/13/2025 Service was great but manager wasn't very friendly who greeted every other table but our. We felt nonwelcomed .We spent over 100 . Our waitress was amazing. Food was even better.

The sizzling crab cakes were great. The blueberry lemon drop drink is amazing. The au gratin potatoes and broccoli were cooked just right! This was my first time having Brussels sprouts, and it was pretty good, but I am sure I wouldn't like them anywhere else because of Ruth's Chris high-quality food it tasted great. But it's not something I know I'd eat elsewhere. Overall, I highly recommend this place. Food and service were top-notch!

Came here for my first time for my anniversary dinner! I was very pleased with the staff and the food was delicious! Our table had scattered rose pedals on it I ordered the surf and turf! Hands down the best steak and lobster I have ever had in my life! Prices are high but food is well worth it! I also enjoyed a delicious drink can’t remember the name but it was very good!

I celebrated my engagement dinner here this past Friday 12/6 and I couldn't be happier with our dining experience. Everything was amazing, from the food to the service it was truly a magical evening.

The best steak I have ever eaten. First service, friendly staff, good atmosphere. The food is amazing. I liked the sauce of the calamari It was very good highly recommend it. Two sides with the order is more than enough for two people. I would come again here for sure.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had in Connecticut. I’ve been trying to go here for at least 10 years and finally made it happen. If it’s your first time, I highly suggest doing the prix fixe menu. It’ll save you a few bucks and you’ll get to try a couple of different things. The steaks are cooked Peter Luger style: just salt and pepper on the steak, cooked, then put in a blazing hot broiler with clarified butter poured over the top. I upgraded my prix fixe steak to the boneless ribeye and was not disappointed. Sprinkled just a little salt on it and after a few cuts, all the flavors melded together and it was heavenly. The creamed spinach was sole of the best creamed spinach I’ve ever had and I don’t know if anything goes better with a steak in my opinion. For the starter, I got a seafood gumbo which was bigger than I thought it would be and pretty damn close to some of the ones I had in New Orleans. My gf got the filet prix fixe with a Caesar salad starter. I will say that the Caesar salad was the only thing I “didn’t like” but I didn’t like it because she had gotten anchovies on it. Do yourself a favor and if you do get the prix fixe, spend the extra 4 to upgrade your dessert from a small little piece of cheesecake to anything else. I got the bread pudding and it blew me away. It was almost like a Rice Krispies treats bread pudding. Absolutely astounding. I can’t wait til I go back.
