| - I have got to tell you- this is the first time that I have been let down by my fellow yelpers! Maybe it was just a bad night for the chef- but here are some details of our experience:
1. The service was fine. However, the person who served us didn't fully explain the three course menu (Surf and Turf) to us, so we thought we were getting one appetizer, two types of steak with three sides, two lobster tails, and one dessert. What we got instead was three appetizers, three sides with two steaks, two lobster tails, and three desserts. It was just my husband and I! This could easily have fed about 4-5 people.
2. As a result of #1 above, we paid $500 for a meal that we hardly could finish 25% of. Since we were from out of town, we couldn't save any of it. What a waste. Then again, not sure we would have eaten the leftovers because it was so bland and disappointing.
3. For the appetizers, we had beef tartare (we thought this was all we were going to get), grilled Hawaiian prawns, and Caesar salad. The beef tartare was pretty good, same with the shrimp. I thought the salad was lousy though- the anchovies on top were tart instead of being brined.
4. According to all of the reviews, the wagyu rib eye was supposed to be the best steak ever. What a let down! We ordered ours medium rare and it was cooked too much- so I recommend anyone ordering this to order it rare- at least that way you can have them cook it a little more rather than overcook it to start. It was bland and dry.
5. The skirt steak is the cheapest steak on the menu- about $69- and guess what? Way better than the wagyu. We would have been better off ordering just this a la carte. All the steaks that I have ever had at Ruth Chris have been better than this.
6. The sides- everyone is always raving about the sides. The Yukon potatoes were good, not great. The Jerusalem artichokes and the shitake mushrooms were all average. Again, the sides that I have had at Ruth Chris were all way better than any of these.
8. The lobster was average- nothing special about it at all. I have had better from the frozen section at Trader Joe's.
9. The only dessert that my husband ate was the Monkey Bread, and the only one I ate was the chocolate lava cake and the red pear sorbet. We were so full, and not even happy full if you know what I mean. Again, we have both had better at other places.
10. So $500 for way too much food that tasted average? So not worth it. The steaks with lobster were $155 each, and my husband had ordered the wine pairing. Wine was average, the pours were generous, but for average wine you don't really enjoy it that much.
I love good food and am not afraid to spend money on it. French Laundry cost us about $600 and was worth every penny. This was not. Nobu cost us about $300 and was way better than this. Daniel Boulud was about $150 and again better than this.
From our experience, the high end restaurants in the older hotels did not live up to the hype- the newer ones all did (the exception is Nobu- that place is a must visit when in Vegas).
Go to Ruth Chris if you want a good steak!
