Ruth’s Chris Steak House has opened its 135th location in downtown Cincinnati at The Banks in the heart of the riverfront district. The Banks development connects the Central Business District to nightlife entertainment including sports stadiums, restaurants, shopping and an active waterfront community.

“We are thrilled to have Ruth’s Chris Steak House join our family at The Banks,” stated Scott Stringer, Executive Vice President at Carter, “The Banks development is a central element to downtown Cincinnati’s riverfront revitalization and our new partner, Ruth’s Chris, is a strong enhancement to the current offerings.”

The Cincinnati location boasts the restaurant’s signature sizzling steaks in a new metropolitan setting. Menu items include USDA Prime steaks, appetizers, and delectable desserts, all complemented by an award-winning wine list and handcrafted cocktails. The interior of the property has a rich, modern appeal showcasing locally inspired art and photography.

On October 12 and 13, the restaurant hosted invited guests for two evenings of charity fundraisers before opening to the general public. At these preview events, selections from the Ruth’s Chris Steak House award-winning wine cellar were available for purchase with all proceeds benefitting Freestore Foodbank – a non-profit that distributes over 12 million pounds of food annually throughout the Cincinnati area.

“We are excited to celebrate our new opening, marking 135 restaurants worldwide,” stated Michael P.
