Splurge on a Steak Dinner Fit for a King

 
Dads deserve the best, so it only makes sense to treat him to the best steakhouse in Honolulu: Ruth’s Chris.

Don’t forget to load up on the Ruth’s Chris signature side dishes as well. From lobster mac and cheese to classic creamed spinach to savory garlic mashed potatoes, he’s bound to find a few favorites to complete his meal.
