Unique menu with tasty and healthy options. Service was mostly pretty good. However, the restaurant was quiet and our server didn’t check in much, so I’d say that would be an area of improvement. All said, I’m very glad I came across this place.

Ruth’s is a Northside gem! Everything we’ve had has been delicious! The grilled corn risotto cakes are our fave. We love the Mediterrean Plate. The hummus is amazing. The Greek salad is huge. The burger is terrific. Next time we go to Ruth’s for dinner, I want to try the Creole Catfish. Can’t wait!

Really good food and cocktails. I had an appetizer (Grilled Corn Risotto Cakes) and a Blue Margarita. Very artsy inside including a large interesting sculpture. Plenty of seating inside and out front as you walk in. It also has it’s own parking lot. It’s a block east of Hamilton Ave and just north of the new Northside Transit Center.

Had a delightful experience with a work group for dinner. We called ahead to see about getting a group of 7 in and they were very accommodating. We grabbed drinks at the bar while waiting for a table and sat outside. The interior was an interesting space with unique art decor. Our server was awesome – really friendly and funny and very prompt. He made great recommendations and everyone really enjoyed their meals. I tried the Cajun catfish, which was very good. Another coworker tried the salmon filet, which she really liked. Another had the vodka cavatappi with Italian sausage and he really liked that as well. They had great vegetarian and gluten free options and everyone left full and satisfied. I’d definitely recommend and will be back!

Very charming atmosphere and location. But the service was very poor and the food was mediocre at best. There were 5 of us and we each had something different from the dinner menu, including appetizers, soup, main course, and dessert. And each of them were very lacking in flavor and technique. We hope they find a new chef who is more inspiring because it is absolutely a delightful place, they need a good menu and they will rocket. Unfortunately the 5 of us will not return unless we read that they have a new chef and menu. Hopefully they call Robert Irvine for some inspiration.

We love this place! Friendly staff, great ambiance indoors and out. Our favorite dinner.dishes include Beet Caprese, Park Side Salad with Yogurt Curry dressing, Catfish and corn cakes (truly yummy), Salmon in Beurre Blanc (I ask for it a medium). Cocktails are great too.

I had the hardest time picking something to eat from the menu. Eventually I settled for the spinach saute which was delicious! I tried Tempeh for the first time, realized I’m not a fan but at least now I know. I also enjoyed the bread and curry yogurt. They give you a lot of curry yogurt but I prefer it in small amounts so the bowl was still pretty full when the bread was gone. The ooey gooey butter cake was amazing .
