Came in on a Saturday night. The new restaurant makes you forget that it was ever a Ruth's Chris. The staff was kind and when we complained about the cold, they adjusted the temperature and checked in on us. The place is spendy, and you will spend more than at CPH. The cocktails are about 12-14 and listed more Absinthe and Pernod than I had seen in a while. The Manhatten while served in a martini glass (so that it looks itty bitty) has enough alcohol in it to fell a buffalo.
The appetizers include riblets and a wonderful avocado filled with goat cheese and roasted garlic. Not something I see everywhere and delicious. Had the octopus salad (which was good but not memorable, mostly octopus, grapefruit, mizuna and fennel bulb) and the classic chop which you can get at CPH and Cowboy Ciao. But that salad is so good I find myself trying not to eat directly from the shared bowl. The filet, scallops and ribs were all a hit. The one miss was the meatloaf. Was expecting it to be really homely and comforting, but found that one a bit dry. Overall, will be coming back. It's nice to have another fun restaurant option on the C.Corridor. Going to get dessert next time too, but was too full!
