COMPETITORS

Flemings, Morton’ s and Capital Grille are closest to Ruth’ s Chris from the perspective of price and variety. Each of these are expensive fine dining restaurants that face a similar problem; during our in-depth interviews, we found that fine diners typically prefer locally-owned restaurants and avoid frequenting chains if possible.
