I came into Ruth's expecting the same sort of experiences from other Ruth Steak House cities, but the NY version was very different than I expected. Perhaps the service has improved somewhat, given the fact my waiter was extremely courteous and friendly. The rest of the waitstaff was fast, prompt, and attentive to our needs. The steaks, being the main attraction of any Ruth's, were succulent and juicy, nearly perfect as I've had at any of the finest steakhouses. Accompanied by some truly tasty sides, the food was beyond what I expected. With its location being in the theater district, I noticed the beautiful interior with carpeted floors, tuxedo waitstaff, beautifully designed furniture, and very soft music playing in the background. Not all is perfect, as the prices were outrageous. One might be able to pay rent from a single bill of 4 people eating. The steaks themselves were sold a la carte, not to be bundled or combined with potatoes, veggies, etc. All in all, its worth trying if you have never been to a Ruth Chris or are willing to pay more for good steak. You can probably find better or just as good food at a place that is more prestigious and potentially less expensive.
Pros: Steak, Service, Atmosphere
Cons: Prices
