Once an old-time saloon located
at 44 Richmond Terrace, in the heart of historic St. George, proprietor
Danny Mills decided that a steakhouse is what the island needed, offering
a view of Manhattan and terrace dining. In 1999 the Mills family razed
the building and reopened in July of 2000 as Ruddy and Dean.
The name originates from the
maiden names of Mills' grandmothers, Grandma Ruddy and Grandma Dean. The
tradition of cast iron pans to sear steaks and finish in high heat has
been passed down.
Today Ruddy and Dean
serves Staten Islanders and tourists alike and is quickly making a name
for itself as Staten Island's Premiere Steakhouse. A number of
well-known people have enjoyed delectable meals at Ruddy & Dean such as
football great Boomer Esiason, legendary boxing trainer and commentator
Teddy Atlas, boxer Gerry Cooney as well as a slew of local TV news
personalities, such as Art McFarland, Nina Pineda, Lou Young, and Tony
Penza, and numerous local politicians.
Located on the beautiful St.
George waterfront, Ruddy & Dean has a little something for everyone.
Just across the street from the Staten Island Yankees' ballpark and the
Staten Island Ferry, and only blocks from the St. George Theatre, Ruddy
& Dean is a great place for sports fans, tourists, and theater-goers
alike. Whether its the breathtaking view of Manhattan across New York
Harbor or our award-winning steaks, you will quickly know why Ruddy & Dean is
a favorite of so many people.
Ruddy and Dean offers a
full-service kitchen in which we cut our own steaks from beef that is
hand selected by owner Danny Mills. Our steaks are aged 14-21 days to maintain optimal
beef flavor. Our chef, a graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute
of America, has a knack for infusing other delectable entrées for the
non-beef lover. Our party room, with a terrace overlooking Manhattan,
has a 125 person capacity. We offer delicious and tasty catering options
for all occasions.
For an intimate dinner
for two, a business lunch, or a large party, Ruddy & Dean is the perfect
place for everyone to enjoy fine food and fantastic views. Though on
Staten Island, Ruddy & Dean is quickly making a name for itself among
the big-name steakhouses in the city. |
