Ruth Chris

So on our date night on Friday, Mary and I went to Ruth Chris Steak house for the first time. I was pretty excited as I have heard good stuff about their steaks. Although the steak was delicious, (I had the Filet Mignon rare and Mary ordered the veal cutlet) I thought that Ruth Chris was way overrated. But I think I need to go back another time just to be sure. However for the price and what you get, I think Claim Jumpers is a better deal and I believe their filet mignon is probably just as good as Ruth's.

The steak comes out on this hot plate as they cook all their steaks in this 1800 degree oven. But the presentation is pretty bare. As you can see it's just the steak and nothing else. I guess it's for the purists like Pastor Joe. As you can see I'm not a purist as I like mine with A1 steak sauce.

Appetizer - Calamari. It was fried in chinese sweet and sour sauce. I did not enjoy. Mary liked it.

I'm all about the sides so I was disappointed that you had to pay additional for sides (creamed spinach). At least their free bread was good.

There service was also excellent. Our waitress was really nice except that she spilled water all over Mary.

Overall I would recommend it but I wouldn't be upset if I never went back there again. I would much rather go to Claim Jumpers.

Here is the free dessert (crème bulee) we got because Mary lied and told the waitress it was our anniversary. Haha. Actually she didn't lie. The waitress asked if this was a special occasion and I said no. But Mary asked if we got something special if it was, and the waitress said we get free dessert. So then Mary said it's our anniversary.
