We've resisted this place for several years because a dark, enclosed steakhouse is the last place I want to dine while in Hawaii. After finding out that there's an outdoor terrace upstairs where we could enjoy the sunset, view, etc., we booked a reservation for a steak lover's milestone birthday. The terrace location overlooks the mall courtyard (not ideal), but... More

We went for happy hour. The food selections were excellent. The service at the bar was excellent - friendly attentive and fun. The prices are decent for mixed drinks but overpriced for wine selections based on the quality of the wine. I would recommend happy hour after a tough day at the pool or beach.

My new husband was really wanting to have a good steak after our intimate beach nuptials and so I reserved online in advance. I stated we were celebrating our wedding in hopes we might get a quieter table to be romantic, gushy newlyweds. The food was, of course, as delicious as Ruth's Chris promises. But it was really the little... More

Can't go wrong with this choice. Great steaks, wine and all of the extras! My wife and I split an appetizer, the Chop salad, the Ribeye and a bottle of wine. More than enough for two and we had no room for dessert. It doesn't get much better........

A lovely choice for a delicious dinner on the Kohala Coast. The menu selections never disappoint and the quality is always consistently excellent and a great value during "happy hour". Wine Wednesday's offer discounts off of the entire wine list.

We were fortunate to get a double bonus when we dined here. Our dinner reservation was around 5 p.m. so we had the special they offer everyday from 5-6 for less than $50. It includes your appetizer or salad, entree with a side and dessert. We both had the filets which were succulent! We both ordered mashed potatoes as our... More

We stopped by in late January, and had a great time. The steak was juicy and cooked just right. I brought my parents for the first time and they couldn't stop raving about it. We had some very good Pinot Noir along with the steak, recommended by the waiter and it was delicious! The General Manager also checked on our... More

After some questionable restaurant experiences around Waikoloa... we went back to a know experience... We were well served by Melissa at Ruth Chris. The food was cook to perfection arrived together and the atmosphere was set. Good wine selection at reasonable prices (Clos du Val Cabernet). The cesar salad was very good. My only slight negative was that they had... More

I had the best steak I have ever had at this place. I usually argue Morton's is better but, not this time. Waiter was very very helpful and make the night a great one!

What a disappointment! We generally eat at this Ruth's Chris Steak House several times during our stay on the Big Island, and this time was so terrible we will reconsider where to spend our dime and time next time! Our waiter was Douglas who was very poor at waiting tables. Sorry but if I am going to pay the price... More
