Ruth's Chris Steak House - Markham

I came here for Winterlicous 2023 with a party of 2 and had a wonderful time. The ambiance and service were excellent, and our server Paul H. was very kind. We had the caesar salad, 6oz filets, mashed potatoes and mushrooms for our meal. For dessert, we had the bread pudding and the chocolate sin cake. Everything was cooked to perfection, including the starter of warm bread and butter. I'd say for $75, this 3 course prix fixe meal was definitely worth it as the cheapest steak on their regular menu is $74.

I came here for dinner to celebrate a special occasion recently. The decoration and ambiance were nice. Food was mostly with decent quality but expensive. Service was a bit slow. We ordered a few Ruth's classics combo with appetizer, main and chocolate cheesecake. The stars were the arugula salad and the steak among all dishes. Appetizers: Both the Caesar salad and the arugula salad were perfectly flavoured. The coutons were stale though. The lobster bisque was not yummy. Quite watery taste. I would not recommend this dish. Mains: All the mains were good but sides were mediocre. We tried the salmon, the shrimp orleans, and the filet mignon. All of them were decent. Fish was cooked perfectly and shrimps were fresh too. However, some corns were bitter and creamy spinach was not very tasty. I ordered medium for my steak and it was perfectly cooked and evenly seasoned. The salt and butter really brought out the scent of the steak and it was melting in my mouth! Dessert: We ordered three combos so it came with three chocolate cheesecakes. The server was really nice to provide us extra cheesecake and icecream for free. The cake was too sweet to my tasting, but I really liked the vanilla icecream. Overall, this steak restaurant is a bit pricey $100+ per person) but offer decent cooking skill and quality food.

Ruth Chris' steakhouse is a very well known chain famous for its steaks, and today's visit did not disappoint. We came on a Saturday evening at 5 pm and the restaurant was not busy at all. We had a party of 4 adults and a 4 year old. Their Ruth's Classics prix fixe menu is good value. It comes with a salad or lobster bisque, a main, a side, and a chocolate cheesecake for dessert. We ordered 3 of those plus an additional entree. For the starters we ended up with one of each option an arugula salad, a Caesar salad, and the bisque. Both salads were excellent dressing was full of flavour and there was a good balance of crunchy to soft ingredients to give them a range of texture. The lobster bisque however was a disappointment. It was slightly bitter and lacking in body. For the main event, while the default steak in the prix fixe menu is a 6 oz filet, I upgraded to an 11 oz for an extra $23. That was certainly the right decision! The medallion was cooked perfectly medium rare and served on a hot ceramic plate. The steak was melt in your mouth tender and the outer crust added an extra layer of texture to the dish. We tried both the mashed potatoes and creamed spinach for the sides. Both were flavorless fillers that are not memorable. The chocolate cheesecake was good. It's a round piece garnished with various berries (straw, blue and rasp). It's a satisfactory closing to the meal. On to the service. On the one hand, I'll give them credit for trying. On the other trying doesn't always mean results. The restaurant was not busy at all when we were there, and there seems to be a lot of wait staff but somehow whenever we needed something it always seemed like there was no one around. This is in stark contrast to other restaurants in the same price range. But they do try. We ordered 3 of the Ruth classics so 3 cheesecakes. Our waiter comped us an extra cheesecake and an extra ice cream for the little one. It's a wonderful gesture to be sure, and we appreciate it. But THEN, after we were done with dessert, since we were there to celebrate my birthday, they brought out ANOTHER piece of free cheesecake with a candle on it! The same cheesecake that we just ate 4 of! It's too much cheesecake! Communication is important! Anyway for good steak, come eat here! It's not fine dining it's a steakhouse. Come check out the meat!

Came here on a Thursday with my family and cousins family on a Thursday and it was quite busy. Ordered the crab cakes, caesar salad, the porter house, ribeye, one kids meal and lots of sides for the toddlers (Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and French fries). We also got their house wine that they recommended. Didn't take long for our server to come and introduce himself and then bring us some freshly warm bread with whipped butter, which was so good that both the toddlers enjoyed it more than I did. Not too long after our appetizers came out, and the Caesar salad was standard, but the crab cakes were full of meaty delicious crab, and not a lot of filler which is nice. Our server then came back moments later to let us know our hot plates were ready and to be cautious, since the plates are super hot and they were for our steaks; ready to come out. First time having a hot plate where you can actually have your steak cooked a bit more and kept warm while eating it. I liked the concept as steak tends to come out warm and by the time your halfway it's pretty much cold. Steaks were delicious and tender, we ordered our steaks medium rare, and they were thick cuts of steaks that easily fed 4 adults, along with the delicious sides to go with our steaks, we were pretty full by the end of our meal. Price is super steep, but for special occasions it's definitely worth coming back again.

We came here as a party of 5 yesterday to celebrate a birthday. When we arrived, there was a couple ahead of us while they were seated, we stood there for a bit without being acknowledged which I find is a bit unusual for a high end establishment. It was really nice being sat at a round table. Non-Asian restaurants don't use these enough but I love these as you can interact with everyone. I ordered the Ruth's Classic with a 6 ounce filet 3 large shrimps. This is a prix fix menu and also comes with an appetizer (choice of salad or lobster bisque), a choice of one side (creamed spinach or garlic mashed potatoes) and cheesecake for dessert. I opted for the bisque garlic mashed (my cousin got the creamed spinach so we shared). The bisque was not the best I've had my sister in law did not enjoy it. Best part of my meal was the steak cooked to perfection at a true medium rare. My steak stayed hot/warm up until my last few bites since they serve it on a hot plate which I love. We also got their crab cakes to share. This appetizer is quite expensive yet it is full of crab the crust is fried nicely, seasoned well and has a wonderful texture. A couple of things to note is that normally once the order is taken, the wine glasses from those who aren't having any are taken away however our server took it away when the one glass of wine was brought out we weren't offered coffee or tea with our dessert until we were almost finished. Overall, it was a tasty meal our server did a good job. I would definitely recommend this place for any celebration or a romantic dinner.
