Today a friend and I ate at the Ruby Tuesday's on Independence in Charlotte for lunch. Our waiter was attentive, the house wine (malbec) was good, and the food was very good. We started with the spring rolls which were fantastic! I had the steak filet (medium as most restaurants equate medium rare with raw) and lobster tail with grilled zucchini and spaghetti squash (these were optional sides). My friend had grilled salmon with broccoli and spaghetti squash. My steak and lobster tail were cooked perfectly and seasoned in a way that I didn't need steak sauce or butter. My friend's salmon was also cooked perfectly. So many restaurants undercook steak and overcook salmon; so I was impressed. We finished with coffee and cheesecake which were both very good. All of this came to less than $30 for each of us. This same fare would have cost twice as much elsewhere and might not have been as good. This particular Ruby Tuesday needs to give their chef a raise. The only negative is that I originally ordered the Tiramisu. After about 5 minutes the kitchen manager came out to tell me that they were out. He also said they had 3 on Wednesday that they anticipated would last till Tuesday as they don't sell very many. After hearing that, I was glad they were out. Tiramisu shouldn't be almost a week old before serving. Yikes! So stay away from the Tiramisu.
