Making Reservations<\/h3>\n

Reservations for the Ruth\u2019s Chris main dining room are highly recommended. You can make reservations from our website or you can also call the restaurant directly.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re celebrating an anniversary, birthday, or any other occasion<\/b>, let us know when you make your reservation so we can be sure to add some special touches to make your night a memorable one. It is not an imposition for us and frankly helps us serve you\u00a0better.<\/p>\n

Reservations are not required at our bar, where seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. The full Ruth\u2019s\u00a0Chris menu is available in our bar, and the service is just as excellent.<\/p>\n

What to Wear<\/h3>\n

Proper attire for dining at Ruth\u2019s Chris ranges from upscale business casual to elegant. You might see guests in everything from slacks and a nice top to a cocktail dress or suit and tie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an effort to maintain a family-friendly environment, we kindly ask guests to refrain from wearing clothing with offensive graphics or language. Additionally, caps, exposed undergarments, cut-off shorts, tank tops or clothing emitting marijuana odor are not considered appropriate attire and will not be allowed in any area\u00a0of the restaurant. Team jerseys and sportswear are welcome in the bar or on the patio only.\u00a0<\/p>\n
