Let me start off by saying this is a review a year in the making as I actually visited Ruth Chris- Southpark last year for restaurant week and was reminded of my experience since that time has come around again this year. I was really excited to visit this place for the first time as Ruth Chris franchise is very well known and I'm a steak and potatoes guy at heart. So I figured I'd give a classy steakhouse a try seeing how I had pretty much tried in the middle of the road ones you can try (longhorn,outback, texas roadhouse etc) My date and I and reservations for a Sunday evening so getting seated was not an issue. There was a fairly good amount of people there as you would expect for the first evening of the special menu, but it wasn't bursting at the seams busy. However, the sluggish service throughout the whole dining experience felt like their staff couldn't handle the extra foot traffic. I had allotted a good amount of stomach space for this meal so I wasn't really happy with living off plain ol bread and water for what seemed like an eternity. Their restaurant weekend menu wasn't really impressive once you tasted and viewed the seemingly reduced portions they were dishing out. Anything worth having really required an "upgrade" which really defeats the purpose of getting a quality experience at a 30 per person price point. The appetizers made it to us not very long after the entrees. We really didn't start eating until maybe 45 minutes after we had sat down. The ribeye I had wasn't bad by any means, but I was certainly not blown away by it and actually got bored with it before I finished. If I hadn't tanked up on bread and water I doubt it would have felt like a filling meal. The cheesecake desert was just a little sliver just enough to quench a sugar fix but it was very forgettable. Maybe it was just an off night which sucks because I wanted to love this place so bad and it has many positive reviews. I just can't see myself going out of my way to visit a Ruth Chris restaurant again and pay premium prices when I've easily had better steak experiences at other places.
