Ruth’s Chris Steak House is about to return to downtown St. Louis.

In the 1990s, the chain had a restaurant in an interesting basement space in the Court Square building on 11th Street. The new restaurant is scheduled to open Monday in the newly refurbished Hyatt Regency Riverfront Hotel, on Chestnut Street.

About 100 people will work at the restaurant, where the final touches are being applied this week. Mayor Francis Slay and the seemingly ever-present Fredbird are among those scheduled to be on hand for the ribbon cutting on Monday.

The downtown restaurant will be Ruth’s Chris second in the area. The chain’s other local spot is at Forsyth and Brentwood in Clayton.
