If you decide to dine at this steak house, take their advice and come hungry. Not only are the steak portions massive, but it's true - they sizzle right in front of you! My steak was cooked to perfection. I haven't had a bigger or better steak since.
Sides are ordered à la carte, which also means the meals can be pricey. The waiter was nice enough to warn us that the sides come in large portions and can easily be shared. We didn't take his advice and ordered separate sides so that we could try a few of them. I highly recommend the "au gratin", but also recommend sharing.
After failing to finish my meal (only because the portions were too big for me), I politely declined dessert. The manager(?) kept asking us what we were celebrating that evening. Apparently nobody goes to Ruth's Chris just because they're hungry. She got half an answer out of me and shortly thereafter she presented us with a huge slice of cake The plate was beautifully decorated with fancy writing in chocolate. That level of service impressed me the most.
The food was excellent, service was excellent, decor was beautiful but kinda stuffy. Ruth's Chris is very pricey, but worth it if you have a reason to celebrate or have a craving for a good steak.
