| - Ruth's Chris is an old-time steak house in almost every respect, and I don't think it has kept up with the times. Basically, it is expensive and does not deliver the value we expect today.
The main shortcoming is the food. There is nothing wrong with it exactly, except an apparent belief that seasonings are evil. But there is not enough right. To be sure, the portions are large and the ingredients fresh and of good quality. But for the prices they charge you expect more than a steak broiled in butter or a salad with greens and radish slices and little else. You expect imagination, innovation, bold flavors, attractive presentation -- in short, a little pizazz. There is no pizazz here.
Now if all you want is a plain steak, ordinary creamed spinach, simple potatoes, and a common salad, Ruth's Chris is your place. Otherwise you will enjoy the meal but hate the check.
