| - Yes this is a franchise steakhouse, but after receiving a gift card, I couldn't say no to a (mostly) free dinner. The gift card was $100, and paid about 75% of the final tab for two.I can definitely say that this is one of the best experiences I've had at a steakhouse.
The decor is high end, and the seats are comfortable, especially for people like me who have a tendency to linger in restaurants. That being said, it does feel a bit stiff, and I believe caters to more of a corporate crowd.
Our server was...eager, which was really nice. He explained in detail how the kitchen was going to prepare our food, and even had a great sense of humour, which is a bonus.
My steak was cooked medium rare, as I prefer it, but I was surprised they had USDA beef on the menu, especially seeing as this is Alberta of all places.
Just a note that the side dishes at Ruth's Chris are enough for two, and are purchased seperately. They are substantial, and not just a filler to frame your steak. The creamed spinach I chose was legit! So unbelievably good, that I ignored my poor steak until the end. My steak was perfect, and covered in butter - this may be their secret.
Great meal, great service, no complaints.
