Ruth Chris's happy hour is great! I enjoyed the shrimp appetizer and the cheese burger and fries. The burger was cooked just right and the shrimp was spicy but not overwhelmed with heat. The staff is attentive and friendly. Great Sunday afternoon view of the St John's River while you enjoy a blueberry mojito.

I booked the Valentine's dinner for my best friend and myself. We both did the Ruth's pairing. Not pictured were our Caesar and Steakhouse salads bc we truly demolished them before remembering to take any pictures LOL The steak & shrimp were impeccable. The mashed potatoes were a little unseasoned but that is an easy fix. My French 75 was delicious! The view was amazing & we both received a complementary red rose after our dinner. I also need to give a special shout out to Corey! I had a wardrobe malfunction and he went completely out of his way to ensure that I had the help I needed to continue my day. So thank you so so much to Corey!

Ruth's Chris has quickly become one of my favorite places to visit for their bar area happy hour. The location is great, with a fabulous view overlooking the St. Johns river. The happy hour menu has something for everyone, and their craft cocktails are always on point. Service is what you would expect from RC...top notch! It's a great place to spend a few hours and unwind.

I love Ruth's Chris but for this review, I want to mention their happy hour! If you want a last minute, delicious, reasonably priced dinner with great service, this is one of the best happy hours in town. The restaurant is on the river and while the bar area is small and space is limited, if you get there between 4:00-5:00, you are almost guaranteed a great spot with a river view - the early the better though as this is a very popular happy hour and typically ends up with standing room only! It is first come first served..... They have a nice drink menu as well as a food menu with happy hour dishes starting at $9.00. My favorites are the burgers, steak sandwich and spicy shrimp. There's some parking on site but there's plenty of street parking along with parking across the street. This is also a great place to stop off before a show or a game as well. There is a water taxi stop nearby if you want to take the taxi across the river! If you go to the Ruth's Chris happy hour once, I bet you will go again!!

Super romantic restaurant on the river with great views from almost everywhere. Wonderful seating choices from booths to tables. Lots of tables on the windows to see the gorgeous bridge downtown as well as dolphins surfing through the water. I have been here a number of times and have never been disappointed and it is one of my favorite places to dine in Jacksonville. Not only because the ambience is wonderful, but the wait staff is professional with great attention to detail. This is a great place to celebrate anything or just to come for a wonderful romantic evening. The menu is fantastic with great choices. There is a nice bar for cocktails. The food is amazing! It is dark enough to go there even before sunset and enjoy the beautiful view. But especially romantic after dark when you can see downtown lit up. You may park right in front of the restaurant so it is very convenient. Walk through the front doors of the hotel and go straight back and you will see the restaurant entrance. Make sure you make your reservations on OpenTable. It's a great place to see the fireworks as well. There's a great wine list to choose a perfect bottle from and a full bar. Steaks, seafood, whatever your heart desires is here. You will not leave hungry, and you will most likely leave with a to go box. Treat yourself and make it an evening! You won't be disappointed.

We have a luncheon today at Ruth Chris with our financial advisor. They do it annually for all of us. Today the luncheon fantastic! They aren't normally open for lunch. I had the 8oz filet today. It was spot on. My wife said she asked for her 8oz filet to be cooked medium well. It was cooked well done instead. All the sides were very tasty. I'm thinking because of such a large group her filet was put in the wrong try for another table. No big deal. Service was very friendly. Definitely recommend Ruth Chris!

I've been here multiple times and not sure why I haven't reviewed this place yet. It's way overdue. Each time, steaks were perfectly grilled to my liking and service has been amazing. Celebrated anniversary, birthdays, and just meet-ups. I'm a fan of this place! Restaurant is located at Downtown Jacksonville's Double Tree by Hilton Hotel overlooking the scenic St. Johns River. Parking at hotel's garage with validation is available. Valet is also available for $8 with a validation sticker.
