| - I'm not new to the slightly higher price point, chain steak house circuit. If Ruth's Chris had a rewards program, my family would have free steak for life. That being said, I know what is expected here. It's going to be stuffy and overpriced; you know that. But your expectation is the food and service should make up for those little trips.
+1 and I are early 20s, cute lil' professional guys. I understand we are a contrast to the older people in floor length furs, but we didn't come in off the street like a bunch of ruffians demanding cheese fries (although the ladies behind the host podium would have disagreed). After being greeted with "do you have a reservation", we let them know we were early and would have a drink at the bar until our scheduled time was up. Drinks were fine. Whatever.
We were taken to our table which was one of two placed right in front of the kitchen and that terrifying eagle. They're kind of like the next to the bathroom booths. When I asked our hostess if we could move to one of the few (3+) open tables that were actually in the dining room, she said she couldn't do that (I would normally freak out over this, but somehow that pales to the rest of the night). Our waiters and helpers/runners were awesome. They weren't nearly as personable as you'd expect, but they didn't act like we were confused and didn't mean to be there.
Now here, judging by the other reviews, I should rave about the food. That is absolutely not going to happen. This is also going to be much more harsh than it should be as I was expecting (what I suppose is) way too much. Way harsh, T. Oops.
Because I don't do seafood, we ordered the fries "to share" .. The portion you receive of the truffle fries is sad. If Burgatory's truffle fries are a 10, these may get a 4. We both ordered our double priced Caesar salads and were given small plates of yellow iceberg. I can't tell you how sad this was. A few shavings of asiago I was able to find saved my sanity that night. For our main courses, I ordered the chicken that makes more an hour than I do, and +1 got the strip steak. He said it was "good," but was not impressed in the slightest. My chicken tasted like I did nothing but threw a chicken in the oven and then cut it in half and served it to you with some blackened cooked shriveling yellow carrots. It was sad. So sad we didn't even get dessert. I just wanted to get out of there. The only decent sustenance I received was 200% marked up glass of Riesling.
If you are thinking of going here, it won't be the worst. Clearly, people enjoy it. But if you are one of those people that may have expectations for anything ever or don't happen to have some extra change from your hedge fund to waste, keep walking until you hit Ruth's Chris or something that isn't going to make you cry into your fifty dollar piece of meat (at least that would season it).
