| - This was my first experience at Ruth's Chris and having heard many positive stories from friemds that I was full of anticipatory anxiety as a child on Christmas Eve. But I couldn't look at name tags or peek between wrapping paper!
Anyway, there were 14 of us in town for an event, and Ruth's Chris was offering a 3-course prix fixe menu for $40 or $50 depending on your entree. The complete meal offered at $39.95 includes a choice of Steak House Salad, Caesar Salad or Louisiana Seafood Gumbo, followed by a choice of Ruth's Chris signature eight-ounce Petite Filet, Stuffed Chicken Breast, Barbecued Shrimp, or the Chef's Fresh Island Fish selection.
Diners may upgrade their meal to the $49.95 entrÈe option to select from the 11-ounce Filet with Grilled Shrimp, Veal Chop with Hot and Sweet Peppers, 16-ounce Ribeye Steak, or Lobster tail with blackening spice, lemon and drizzled butter
I, in a slight prescription drug induced fog, thought I had ordered the ribeye just like my 2 co-workers sitting across from me had. Unfortunately I received (and vaguely recall hearing myself say) the filet. My choice of appetizer and side dish was the house salad with a zesty French dressing and the garlic mashed pots.
The salad was good with a flavorful and slightly tangy. The garlic mashed was only so-so at best. They tasted a bit off and were somewhat crusty as though they had been under a heat lamp for a while. Next time, I get the mushrooms like my mother taught me! Now the steak... aside from being slightly undercooked and much closer to rare than medium rare, the flavor was AWESOME. Without a doubt the best piece of meat I've ever eaten!
Unfortunately after the entree is where this experience took a turn for the worse... We all had finished and were sitting there waiting for the plates to be cleared, water to be refilled, dessert to be brought... aaaaannnnnndddddd.... nothing. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Finally one of our group had to go up to the maitre d' and complain about the lack of service.
As it turned out, or so we were told, another large group being handled by our waitress decided to ask for seperate checks once the bill arrived and then were having credit card issues on top of that, tying her up trying to get them out the door. Anyway, moving on...
The dessert course came and was a pairing of strawberries in a vanilla creme along with a chocolate mousse with whipped cream in a fluted cup made of (dark?) chocolate. Absolutely delicious!!
All in all, the experience was more positive than negative. Aside from the fact that management should've (and according to the waitress was requested by her to) handled the other difficult table, I was thoroughly impressed. Bon appetit!!
