For as expensive as Ruth’s Chris is I expected so much more. The steaks came out on a plate sizzling in butter, but my medrare steak was more rare than medrare. It’s obvious also that the steaks are only seared under a broiler at the last minute hence the scalding hot sizzling plate and were only seared on the top side. The amount of butter on the steak and the plate was nearly overwhelming and really destroyed the flavor of the meat itself. The baked potato was overcooked and had probably been kept warm for quite some time, and the hollandaise sauce for the grilled asparagus as bland and without much flavor. Normally I wouldn’t complain too much about sides, but at dollars a pop, this is a shortcoming that just can’t be overlooked. Wine prices and selection were not great. Prices seemed exorbitantly high and selection was limited to maybe a dozen choices maybe because of COVID??. Overall after ordering a single appetizer, two mixed drinks, two glasses of wine, two ounce sirloins, a baked potato, mashed potatoes, and asparagus and paying for two people I can say with assured confidence that we won’t return to Ruth’s Chris. Bottom line is a high end “chain restaurant” is still just a chain restaurant and you’re probably far better supporting a small local chef where you’ll get better food for the same price or less
