Recently my best friend and I had the opportunity to dine at Ruth Chris Steak House in Aventura during their Happy Hour. We stopped by this location to try out their select menu that is only available Sundays through Fridays from 4-6pm. They currently offer appetizers starting at $11 and even wines starting at $9 and although their menu is very limited they do have a few options for drinks and appetizers along with two main entrees. The great thing about the two entrees is that they are each paired with a perfectly curated glass of wine at a reasonable price.
We started off with their freshly baked bread and whipped butter and some drinks. My best friend ordered a Ruth’s Manhattan that is made with woodford reserve, southern comfort, and black cherry and I ordered a Raspberry Cosmo Mocktail since I am currently pregnant. I absolutely loved my drink because it was not only sweet but refreshing as well! For our appetizer we ordered the Spicy Shrimp which is crispy and fried to perfection and is topped with the most delicious spicy cream sauce ever! This appetizer was so delicious and highly addicting that I would definitely order it again and recommend it to anyone who decides to dine at Ruth Chris in the near future.
Aside from the Spicy Shrimp we also ordered their Sizzling Crab Cakes which is actually only available through their regular dinner menu but that is always a must for me to order when I visit! Their crab cakes are one of my favorite classic appetizers because they are always fresh, tasty, and filled with lots of crab meat! If you’ve never been to Ruth Chris before then I highly recommend ordering the Spicy Shrimp from their Happy Hour menu along with their Sizzling Crab Cakes from their regular menu because they are honestly some of the best appetizers, you’ll ever taste! Just take my word for it because your tastebuds will thank you later!
For our entrees we got to try the only two available options available on their Happy Hour menu: a 6 oz. filet paired with a glass of cabernet sauvignon and a filet paired with a glass of rosé. My 6 oz. midwestern filet was topped with three juicy jumbo shrimp and the meat was super tender and cooked just the way I ordered it which in this case was medium well. It was paired with a glass of cabernet sauvignon from California which my best friend got to taste and enjoy in my place. My best friend had the tender corn-fed filet that was topped with the most mouthwatering crust ever that is made with roasted garlic and bleu cheese. Her filet was paired with a glass of rosé from Provence, France and it was also super tender, flavorful, and delicious!
Last but not least, we ordered their amazing bread pudding for dessert. This item just like the crab cakes are not part of their Happy hour menu only their regular menu but we figured that we couldn’t end our meal without something sweet and this one definitely hit the spot! It’s served warm and is made with vanilla and raisins and is topped in a Jack Daniel Whiskey sauce! My advice would be to definitely not skip out on this dessert the next time you visit Ruth Chris!
Overall, we both really enjoyed trying out the Happy Hour menu and we would definitely return again in the future! Aside from the high quality of the food, the service at Ruth Chris is excellent and the waiters are very friendly and attentive to our table. If you have a chance to swing by this beautiful restaurant location in Aventura then I would definitely say to make plans to visit within the next few weeks! It’s not only a great spot for Happy Hour but it’s also the perfect elegant and classy place to celebrate any special occasion like a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or engagement! Plus, the interior and bar are absolutely stunning!!
