| - After checking out this place for many years, but deciding against it based on the price we finally ate here for dinner.
My wallet is unhappy, but was stomach was really happy. Expect to pay about anywhere from $60 or more per person. I ordered the Rib Eye steak, which is supposed to have more flavour than the New York strip. The rib eye was really good. It had great taste, was cooked perfectly and had a meaty texture. Was it worth the price? I'm still not sure about that. My mom ordered the New York Strip, which I actually preferred as it was more tender, than the rib eye and similar in flavour to the Rib Eye.
If you are getting a regular main; how it works, is you order your steak and then some sides for the table to share. The sides we got were the potatoes au gratin, creamed spinach, spinach with garlic, cauliflower and mushrooms. My favourite sides were the potatoes au gratin, creamed spinach, and the mushrooms which come in a red wine sauce (if there is one side you should get it's this one).
The service was excellent. Servers are friendly, the meals came out hot and they even clean the table in between courses. It seems like everyone there was celebrating an anniversary, birthday or special occasion. They added little happy birthdays on our table, which I thought was a nice touch. The restaurant also served us complimentary dessert as we were celebrating 2 birthdays. The dessert was a flourless chocolate cake. This was delicious, rich, and decadent a good way to finish the meal.
If you are not looking to break the bank the Ruth's Classic is a worthwhile consideration. You get an appetizer, main, side, and dessert for $53. The portion sizes for this is pretty big too.
If you are looking for good steak and want to celebrate a special occasion, I think this is a good choice. However, the price for me is where I'm hesitant about coming back. Maybe if it's a special occasion.
