Each restaurant offers a unique experience for hotel guests and local diners alike.

Ruth's Chris Steak House
Serving only the best, hand-selected steaks, Ruth's Chris Steak House takes pride in using the top 2% of the country’s beef, broiled to perfection at 1800 degrees, so that every last bite stays as hot and delicious as the first. Enjoy the freshest seafood, classic sides, and homemade desserts that satisfy any craving. Its location in the northeast corner of the hotel is the former location of the 1913 Room restaurant. The restaurant was named for the year that the cornerstone of the hotel was laid; also the year that President Gerald R. Ford was born, when women first wore silk stockings, and the first year of the income tax.
