Ruth’s Chris Steak House
by AlohaReviewedWith all of the publicity that this restaurant has been receiving, we were really looking forward to checking it out.
Once all was said and done, though, we were very disappointed.
MENU CHOICES
Rating: 
The menu is average for a steak house, but some items needed to be explained by our waiter. He was well informed, and every question had a solid answer. But what really annoyed us was that all items on the menu are a la carte. If you order a steak, that’s what you get. Nothing else. Side dishes must be ordered seperately. We were not impressed.
That having been the case, we came for the steak, and ordered a ribeye cooked medium well.
Their steaks are served with a pad of butter on top. We had them hold the butter because, again, we came for the steak.
When the steak finally arrived, it was overcooked. One-third of my steak was fat, and had burned. The flavor of the steak was, at best, below average.
PRICE
Rating:
If you have a lot of disposable income, then this is your steak house. Our steaks were $45 each, and included no side dishes. Of the steaks available on the menu, $45 was one of the lower priced items.
Visitors that have a Ruth’s Chris in their home city, should eat there if you must try this steak house. Prices in Hawaii are higher, and beef in particular.
SERVICE
Rating:
This must be what the extra high prices are for: the wait staff. We always had a full glass. All questions we had were quickly answered.
Overall Rating: 
We were very disappointed with the entire experience. Prices too high, meals were a la carte, and it was an amazingly large let down for the both of us. Save your money, and find another steak house in Hawaii. We’re looking forward to trying the others in Waikiki.
