My wife and I went here on Friday night, October 20, 2006.\r
\r
Reservations are easily made, and I had no problems calling to adjust the reservation to include my two and a half year old daughter and delay our time by 15 minutes.\r
\r
Parking was valet only.\r
\r
We wound up arriving a few minutes behind our original reservation, but 10 minutes early for the new reservation. We were shown straight to our table.\r
\r
From the start, my wife and I were floored. This was her FIRST time ever in a FINE restaurant, and only my second or third. We were NOT disappointed. My wife apologized to me for insisting on taking our daughter. She proved to live up to the expectations of the experience, and was an absolute perfect angel.\r
\r
Our waiter, Richard was absolutely top notch, and even made sure that our meal was good enough for our daughter. They bring out the steaks sizzling on a 500 degree plate, not friendly to even adult fingers, but they did bring out a cool plate for our daughter.\r
\r
If you're used to restaurants like Applebee's, Bugaboo Creek, Chili's, Friday's, Logan's, Outback, etc, you're going to be in for a shock when you open the menu. The main entrees start at $23 and go up. The porterhouse goes for $41, and the wine list averages about $11 or so per glass. Sides are a la carte and large enough for 2 or 3 people.\r
\r
Our food was perfect, dessert was delightful, service was outstanding as you'd expect in a fine restaurant, and our waiter was more than helpful.\r
\r
This is not exactly a place you want to take a kid to, but our daughter has received an invitation from our waiter and the staff to return.\r
\r
Our tab came to 99.83, and we left 25% for the tip.\r
\r
I highly recommend this restaurant if you want a 5 star experience and don't mind paying for it. We will return to Ruth's Chris again, and are going to be making arrangements to send my wife's parents there for their next anniversary.
Pros: Service, atmosphere, food
Cons: a bit pricey if you're not used to fine dining
