| - This is now my second time going to Ruth's Chris, and there is nothing bad I can say about tonights experience. From the moment we were seated until we got our bill, everything went well.
The break that was served to us was a french baguette. Perfectly warm and just the right amount of chewy/crusty on the outside.
For appetizers we had stuffed mushroom caps and lobster bisque. The caps didn't do anything to warrant a complement, but I did enjoy the lobster bisque. There was a certain sweetness to it which made it really enjoyable. An appetizer I had there my previous visit was carpaccio. It is a large slice of raw (or blue rare) beef with some sauce on top of it. It doesn't sound very good but I would recommend someone try it (especially if you are a meatitarian).
Our main dishes included a ribeye, a buffalo ribeye, and some steak fries (all pictured). I don't know where they are getting their potato from but it is huge. (Aside: For those that don't know, you each order a main steak, and then order a potato and/or vegetable to share a la carte).
A nice a crispy potato, it was a good complement to the steak.
As for the steak itself, the buffalo ribeye was really good. There was something different about it (a little more gamey taste to it?) but it was sizzling and delicious.
The service was also very fast and efficient. The waiter was polite, attentive, and checked back just the right amount of times to make sure we were ok. I'm not sure if this is protocol here, but the waiter actually addressed me as Mr. Peleshok. Who does this? This is a first for me and I was impressed he went the extra mile.
There was no room for desert because the steaks were quite large mixed in with the good bread and appetizers.
The only knock I have (and its obvious), is that each steak plate is between $45-$55. In my opinion no steak should cost that much, but I can understand why they charge what they do in terms of giving out the image of an upscale restaurant.
