Only because Ive been to Ruths Chris in DC.. and its the bomb.. I cant go higher than a 3 on this one.. they do things completely different.. and I didnt expect that.. and the steak wasnt impeccable.. and sorry, it should be. The location isnt grand.. and its easy to miss.. in my opinion.. Steaks are sent out still cooking on hot plates and the seemingly trite bellboy tells you to cover your top so quickly that you dont really know what he truly said so you watch the others at the table who have deciphered bits and pieces of the quick statement.. and follow their lead.. at any rate.. my filet was good, not great. My dates was a bit over the medium scale of cooked.. the lyonnaise potatoes..good.. The salads, good.. My wine.. well, Mendocino Fog from my home.. great! It was my dates birthday, they got that right on.. so again, to compare to other steakhouses.. its not a 5. They didnt have the kobe steak as other Ruths Chris's do.. but our waiter, Larry was great.. and as I said so was the wine, as was the chocolate cake..
