When I first heard about this steakhouse and how expensive I was, I was completely ready to come here, eat a meal, and criticize the crap out of it for being overpriced and pretentious.
As soon as you get into the restaurant you are immediately hit with the smell of butter. It is so strong, it really got my stomach growling.
I ordered the filet, medium rare. The plates they are served on are sizzling hot that you can hear the meat still cooking on it. As I cut into it, it was like beautiful butter being sliced. I slowly and brought the piece to my mouth and chewed. I had to begrudgingly smile because DAYUM it was so damned good. I can still think back to that moment and it will make my mouth water just thinking about it.
I've been here twice now and the steaks have been consistently the best I've ever eaten and I've eaten a lot of steaks in lots of different places.
The sides are big so definitely recommend sharing them. I would recommend the mash. It is so creamy and smooth and compliments the steaks so well. The shoestring fries are also nice.
Service is pretty basic, nothing special.
I'd like to admit that I am pretty stingy when it comes to spending money on food. I expect that if you're gonna charge me an arm and a leg, it better be some damn good food. Ruth's Chris definitely hits the mark. So as much as I don't want to admit a steak is worth that much, it is definitely worth every begrudging penny. It's not a place I can afford to come to regularly, but great for those special occasions.
