| - I come to Ruth's Chris about once or twice a year. I always order a ribeye steak, and my wife orders the filet.
I love the simplicity of the steak: salt, pepper, butter, and heat. The meat is tender and juicy. However, the last couple of times I have been someone's steak hasn't been cooked quite to order. My ribeye on my last visit was cooked medium rare, instead of medium, and my wife's filet came med rare when she asked for med well. We complained about her filet, they recooked, didn't get it right again, then took it off the bill (much appreciated). My experience is that they tend to cook the meat one level below what you ask.
We ordered salads, sweet potato casserole, and creamed spinach as sides. The blue cheese dressing is outstanding, especially if you enjoy chunks of blue cheese. The sweet potato casserole was sweeter than we like; it was more dessert and side dish. The creamed spinach was mildly flavored with cream and cheese; I enjoyed it.
For dessert I received samplers of the chocolate mousse and carrot cake. The latter was my favorite; I've been craving it ever since. The mousse was a close second, and came in a chocolate cup that was just as fun to eat as the mousse.
Unfortunately, I can't give RC more than 3 stars given the service I've received (very good, but not great, esp. for an expensive restaurant), and it's a steak place, so that steak should come out perfect. It's still my favorite steak restaurant, but if I went to high end steak restaurant's more often I might try to frequent some of the others, like Donovan's and Morton's.
