| - It's always nice to go to a fancy dinner when someone else is picking up the tab, right? A bunch of us decided to take our business dinner allowance to Ruth's Chris, and it was a good meal. There is a 3-course option for $35 or $39 (can't remember), and I ordered that once. On my second trip, however, I decided to deviate slightly & get a wedge salad and that evening's special of NY steak and shrimp. I would compare the wedge salad similar to what you get at Gordon Biersch - blue cheese crumbles, bacon bits and balsamic dressing. I know some people don't like watery iceberg lettuce, but somehow this combo just works. What is terrific about your steak being served on those super hot plates is that, and as your cut the steak the juices pool with the melted butter to make a really nice sauce.
Service was very friendly, and they always ask if it's your first time, or if you are celebrating anything special. I think the food is great, and the only reason I'm rating down slightly is that the prices at Ruth's Chris don't make it an everyday type of place, whereas I'm just as happy at Libra (Culver City, CA) for about half the price. But, everyone should have a chance to splurge a few times a year and get a nice dinner!
