We have been to many Ruth Chris restaurants and must say we were disappointed in both the Lahaina & Wailea locations. The food was not very good and very costly. Both times we did not have the best wait staff we expected at a Ruth Chris. I would say skip this restaurant..

If you want a consistently good steak, this restaurant is for you. The service is excellent, unfortunately it does not have any of the island feel about it, being situated in the Wailea Shops.

Only the 2nd Ruth's Chris I've been to, but left the same impression - great food and atmosphere as long as you don't mind the price. My only critical comment is the service was poor until our main waiter took over and did a great job. Probably still the best steak I've had.

Prices are very high (is this the reason why they don't show them on the Internet?) and don't meet the served quality. Steaks start with over 40$ without any sides and are of a poor quality. Service is very ineffizient - we waited for more than 30 minutes for our dishes after ordering. The waitress didn't really care and wasn't... More

Two couples went out for a steak dinner. Reservations easy to make online. The place is busy but not pressured. I was expecting an expensive dinner, but I was flabbergasted at the prices here. The steaks were certainly delicious, but a baked potato shouldn't cost $10. Every single side dish here has a huge price tag, and the meal is... More

The food was much below average for a Ruth's Chris. I have been to many of their locations and normally enjoy it. This particular location is in the Wailea shops, there were lots of kids there. The quality of the steak was really poor, the baked potato was dry and the service was slow. We will not return. For steaks,... More

Ruth's Chris is pricey, but it puts out some of the best steaks I have eaten. I like my petite filet black and blue, which is seared and raw inside, and Ruth's Chris gets it right every time. Add the blue cheese crust and mmmm decadence. Everything is a la carte, so veggies and potatoes are ordered separately, but these... More

It have eaten here 3 or 4 times in the past 10 years and have been pleased, however this time was different. Last month I had an overtop experience at the Park City location. The restaurant has a good location and has been well maintained over the years. The artwork is very nice and the interior very well done. The... More

This was our first time at any Ruth's Chris, and we liked it a lot. The chain has been around forever, but we had never been to one, though I have always been curious about the odd name. We bought the Gift Certificates at Costco ($79.95 for $100 worth) and enjoyed our dinner there very much. In case you wonder,... More

This is my second visit to the Wailea Ruth's Chris. I've also eaten at the Lahaina location. Tonight it was the filet mignon for both me and my wife with asparagus/hollandaise and potatoes au gratin. Absolutely everything you should expect for an expensive meal---everything was impeccable, as it should be for a high-end establishment. Best steak on the island. 'Nuff... More
