We were busy in the kitchen this evening with our second Chef’s Experience event and it felt so good to have a group join us tonight who has been with us since nearly the beginning of this crazy adventure! We always have a great time when Lauren and Dave and Katy and Nate host an event with us and tonight was no exception. This evening’s chef’s menu consisted of our Summer Squash Gazpacho, our Beef Tartare with Homemade Potato Chips, our Potato Pave with Caviar, Pan-Seared Halibut with Sweet Corn Ravioli and Poblano Cream, Pan-Seared Lamb with Goat Cheese Polenta and Mint Sauce and our Caramelized Challah with Roast Plums and Rosemary Ice Cream. Thank you to this group of friends/family for joining us this evening! We can’t wait to host for you again!

In the kitchen, we also had a group of OG’s join us as Angel and Jenn both returned as sous chefs this evening while Keith kept busy over at the bar with his signature cocktails of the evening:

• The Perfect Pear
• Autumn Moon

This evening, we were excited to be able to feature customized, unique, build-your-own floral arrangements from our friends Jake & Jake over at Petal and Plume! 🌸 Make your plans to attend one of their weekend events before their season comes to an end!

We’re also excited to be partnering with Maddie over at Mad Sweets. Thank you for what you do!! 🧁

As always, a huge thank you to our local partners who were featured in this evening’s event. We couldn’t do what we do without your support!

And with that, the Ruth’s chefs are back on another hiatus…! Autumn is going to be a busy time for us so we’ll be disappearing from your feed for a little while as we take some much-needed time off. But don’t worry, we’ll be back in November with an all-new menu. See you in 8 weeks, folks! 👨‍🍳👨‍🍳👩‍🍳👩‍🍳

We had the absolute pleasure of enjoying not one, but two, incredible dining experiences during our weekend trip to Ann Arbor!

On Friday evening, we scheduled a Chef’s Counter experience for our second time at Echelon. Chef Joseph VanWagner and his team never fail to impress with the attention to detail that they put into the flavors and presentation of each of their 10 courses as part of their tasting experience. From the hospitality of the staff to the w**e pairings, incredible flavors of each dish and culinary talents of the team, we can’t say enough about this outstanding establishment in Ann Arbor!

On Sunday evening, we were finally able to experience dinner at Spencer, as we secured a highly coveted reservation to enjoy their 5-course meal as part of their monthly menu. This w**e bar is situated in a very intimate setting, only allowing seating for around 25 people. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable and each course kept us wanting more, highlighting the local, fresh ingredients of the area and the flavors of the current season. We were very impressed with our experience at Spencer and hope to be able to attend one of their dinners again!

Needless to say, if you’re ever in the Ann Arbor area and looking to enjoy a nice evening with a great dining experience, Echelon and Spencer definitely have the Ruth’s stamp of approval!!

The new season at Ruth’s has officially started and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome back our guests as we kick off this first round of our Chef’s Experience! Tonight, we welcomed Krista and Dan and their friends as our first group of this new season. We had such a great evening with this crew as they enjoyed our new 5-course menu with a few surprises along the way.

Tonight’s Chef’s Experience included our Cantaloupe Gazpacho, our Crispy Skin Chilean Sea Bass, a Potato Pave with Homemade Creme Fraiche and Caviar, Pan-Seared Duck Breast with Mushroom Ravioli, Wagyu with Garlic Rice and Pickled Veggies, our Lime Sorbet with Carrot Granita and our Cherry Crisp with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Thank you to this group for joining us this evening!

In the kitchen, Ricky joined me as sous chef while Keith kept busy with his signature cocktails of the evening:

• Jolene
• Dolly

As always, a huge thank you to ALL of our local partners featured in this evening’s event. We love to support other local small businesses and we could not do what we do without you!

You’ve asked. We’ve listened…!!

One of our newest additions to this season at Ruth’s is our guestbook. We love to capture the memories that are created during our Chef’s Experience events. Upon your next visit, leave a message to future guests and/or our staff to tell us all about your experience! We love to hear about each unique experience from our guests’ perspectives.

See you tonight, folks! 👨‍🍳👨‍🍳

We’re down to just two more days until we return to the kitchen, which can only mean one thing: tonight, we’re busy gathering all of our supplies for Saturday evening’s dinner!

We’re so looking forward to this new season at Ruth’s and after our months-long hiatus, we’re full of new inspiration from our summer excursions! This new season promises to be full of new menu items, new surprises and new partnerships with local businesses.

With this new season upon us, we’re moving away from our dinner party approach and allowing our new menus to provide more of an elevated “Chef’s Experience”. We can’t wait to show you what tricks we have up our sleeves. Stay tuned….!

See you Saturday, folks! 👨‍🍳👨‍🍳

Summer is quickly fading and our 15-week hiatus has somehow dwindled down to only 3. We’ll be filling your feed once again in just a few weeks!

Until then, we have decided to introduce our new (temporary) logo. As small business owners, we love to support and stand behind other local small business owners. We do not stand for major corporations bullying the little guy. So with that, say hello to Ruth-ee!

See you so soon, folks! 👨‍🍳👨‍🍳🦫

This past weekend, while visiting Denver, we had the absolute pleasure of attending a dinner at the Chef’s Counter at Beckon. The proud recipients of a Michelin star, this establishment exudes confidence in their culinary talents, plating techniques, sommelier w**e pairings, top notch hospitality and service and intimate ambiance. The staff is well trained and cares deeply about their craft and it definitely shows. Each detail is deliberate and thoughtful. The 13+ course seasonal menu kept us intrigued and our mouths watering throughout our 3-hr experience as each course grew upon the previous and kept us wanting more. The menu was fresh, creative and locally sourced; the w**es were masterfully paired. We opted for the additional wagyu course and paired it with a w**e that was made in 1863! 🤯 We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Beckon and have been dreaming about it since. If you’re ever in the Denver area and looking for a nice date night out, book a reservation at Beckon. We promise you won’t be disappointed! 👨‍🍳👨‍🍳

Hi, friends…! It’s been a long time. We miss our Saturday evenings with you! Summer is quickly winding down and we’ll be back with you in the kitchen so soon. Until then, we’ve been busy scouting out all the newest culinary finds and taking notes along the way! This weekend, we’ve been spending time in Denver, attending a concert, celebrating 9 years since we became engaged and having our minds completely blown by the Chef’s counter experience at Beckon! We just finished this absolutely incredible, multi-course, 3+ hr experience and we’re still digesting it, literally and figuratively. To say we were impressed by the hospitality of the staff and culinary talents of their team would be a complete understatement. This experience was out of this world! 🤯 Notes and pictures to follow…. Until then, we’ll see you so soon, folks!!!! 👨‍🍳👨‍🍳👩‍🍳
