A group of us from our convention went down here.  The meal and the service were delightful.

Our waiter had the greatest personality and joined in on our fun.  I would definitely go back and I don't eat steak but the fish plate I ordered was super.

He split up our bill with no problem.  He was very attentive to our table as well as the others he was servicing at the same time.

Truly an enjoyable evening.

I've been to this Ruth's Chris location 3 times now and have always had an excellent dining experience.  The previous times were for dinner on special occasions but I recently went with my family for Christmas Eve lunch and wasn't sure what to expect.  

Lunch service was new to this location (I believe it was only for the holidays and no longer offered on a regular basis) and they pulled it off tremendously.  You could still order all cuts of steak but they offered several lighter appetizers and entrees.  I got a tenderloin and portobello salad which had a small salad with a sliced tenderloin and portobello on top of grilled asparagus.  It was great because I could get the steak I wanted, but as part of an overall lighter meal; perfect for lunch.  Afterwards I was very satisfied and didn't feel weighed down as if I have just gorged on a huge steak dinner.

Service was also excellent.  The waitress was very helpful, offering insight into all the dishes and providing recommendations based on what we were looking for.  She happily brought out a full-sized piece of chocolate sin cake (which chocolate loving people tell me is unbelievable) when we told her it was my stepdad's birthday.

Ruth's Chris is great for a special dinner or night out, but apparently it's also a great spot for lunch as well.  And prices are quite reasonable too!

Ruth's Chris is a very good restaurant but it is overrated.  I don't know the selection in the Baltimore area, but when I went to Ruth's Chris there, I kept thinking how much I missed Capital Grille in Miami.  Same prices but lesser steaks.  The side dishes and desserts at Ruth's Chris are very good, however.  The service will always be top notch.  I don't like the porterhouse, too crude.

I've dined at this location four times, and every time I've been very pleased with the food and service.

Filets, porterhouse, ribeye, prime rib... it's all good :)

To be honest, my experiences at Ruth's Chris, albeit not the most expensive, have been better than many other steakhouses (Morton's, Smith and Wollensky, Fleming's, Nick and Stef's). So much so that I don't really have a desire to go back to the other places (unless you're buying).

The old saying,"You get what you pay for" rings true! The steaks are simply heavenly! This place has become our celebration station. The service is unparalled. Try the porterhouse for two. Try the lobster bisque and lump crabmeat( I have never seen crabmeat so white), the sauce that comes with it is to die for! The apple pie a la mode is spectacular. The players club room does get kind of loud. Ask for Jeremy, he is a dream! I can't wait for my New Year's Eve reservation.

Love this place.

Always awesome.  Beautiful Restaurant.  Great Staff.  Delicious Food.

Regardless of where you are seated.  You will love it.

Definitely the best of the RC chain that I have tried.

They serve the steak on 500 degree plates (ok, maybe 400, but it's hot so your food stays that way).  I order the NY Sirloin medium rare sans butter.  (They serve their steak in butter and I personally prefer it "plain".)

It is pricey, but you won't be disappointed.

oh man, this is a great steak place.  so expensive but so worth it.  granted, i had fish when i went and only a bite of steak (due to taste aversion from the night before), the steak i tried was amazing.  i also recommend the sweet potato pie side, so delicious, i could have eaten that for my dinner.  i hear they have really great crab cakes.  this ruth's chris is better than the one in philadelphia.

a little overpriced, but with the decor and food, it def worths eating there. they even have closed out areas if you have more than 8 people. after dinner, you can walk over to the bar and try out their 27 yr old scotch (that is if you still have any cash left =P)
