ALBANY — Ruth’s Chris Steak House, the pricey chain that serves steaks on 500-degree sizzling plates, has recently opened its fifth NY location in Albany at 1 Metro Park Road. The restaurant is on the busy Wolf Road corridor just off the I-87 Northway in Colonie.
The Albany Ruth’s Chris restaurant opens in an 8,572 square-foot location that used to be a Romano’s Macaroni Grill. The new space features one main dining room, a luxurious bar and bar-lounge, patio with ample seating, as well as two private dining rooms that can accommodate parties.
“We’ve had the absolute pleasure of serving the community of New York for many years, and are fortunate to make our one-of-a-kind meals available to even more guests in the area,” said William Nicholson, general manager for the Albany Ruth’s Chris. “Ruth’s Chris delivers the ultimate, most hospitable dining experiences in Albany with perfect steaks, warm hospitality and good times that never stop rolling. We look forward to welcoming guests into our restaurant and showcasing the highest quality food, beverages, and service in a warm and inviting atmosphere.”
With more than 150 restaurants around the globe, Ruth’s Chris has been in business since 1965. The chain was bought earlier this year by Darden Restaurants for $715 million, which also operates Olive Garden, Cheddar’s, Capital Grille and Longhorn Steakhouse.
“The Albany location is our fifth in the state of New York, representing an exciting expansion in the region that further entrenches us in this area’s fine dining scene,” said Cheryl Henry, President of Ruth’s Chris Steak House. “We’re thrilled to continue to serve this community and look forward to more expansion opportunities in the future.”
