Conclusion: Not worth the price.
The Good:
Delicious sweet potato casserole with pecan crust. They split our orders onto separate plates. We mentioned it was our anniversary and they gave us a chocolate cake.
The Bad:
Tough steak... dry. Not worth the price!
Staff felt like they were "trying" but the true feel of "fine dining" was not there. The staff may have been trained, but they just couldn't get the little touches to complete the fine part of fine dining. For example:
- the staff would get into the way while they attempt to pour water.
- Staff would interrupt the conversation to ask their question. I was going to finish my sentence before letting the staff ask their question, but she rudely interrupted.
- We had to ask wait staff to find our waiter to get our check
- They never cleaned the table throughout the appetizers, salad, entrees, etc.
- The items above were all things that the staff in San Diego's Ruth's Chris was very good at. I read a review saying the old business at this Las Vegas location was another steakhouse but Ruth's Chris now has a majority of the staff from that location. If the old staff was not truly capable of "fine dining", this Ruth's Chris staff will only bring down the experience of what this restaurant could bring. (Perhap's Ruth's Chris has a contract with Harrah's to use existing staff. . . either way, not a good wait staff for this type of restaurant.)
Cowboy ribeye at San Diego's Ruth's Chris, is my all time favorite. I've had it 4-6 times. This Las Vegas location, seemed like they sourced their steak meat from the buffet. Perhaps Harrah's has a vendor they go through for all the food of all the restaurants inside their property, which would limited Ruth's Chris quality.
