| - The location was nice, inside the Kierland Weston Resort. Had issues finding our way downstairs to the restaurant since their isn't any signage in the lobby for this particular restaurant. The other restaurants had signage. We were seated in the back of the restaurant by someone with a thick accent. Our actual waitress also had a thick accent and I kept looking at my girlfriend to help me interpet. We both ordered the $50 Rib Eye steaks with our choice of flavored butter. Nothing comes with it so we had to order salads, veggies and mashed potatoes on the side. When our orders arived, everything was room temperature. My first initial indication was that the pat of green butter wasn't melted. My second indication that something wasn't right was size, shape and cut of the actual "rib eye".
The meat was thin, tough, chewy and had a lot of grissle. This was definitely not a rib eye, at least not even a $5 piece of meat. I am very confident that this was their flat iron steak being passed off for a $50 Rib Eye. Honestly, I've had better steak at Denny's. Ruth's Chris has nothing to worry about.
The margaritas were good as were the garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus spears, but the steak was really, really horrid.
Fortunately, I was able to use my diners club card to get one of the "steaks" for free. Even at that, this place is way over priced for the ambiance and the food served. 2 meals, 2 drinks, no desert, with discount was still $125.
