Profile

A steak doused with butter and delivered to a fiery-hot plate, butter sizzling, is the centerpiece of this successful upscale chain's take-no-prisoners march east across the country. The steak—and, for iconoclasts, the inevitable chops, chicken, and lobster—is served in a series of connected, muted, and wood-paneled dining rooms. Serious wines, too. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Par for a steakhouse

Had a bachelor party at Ruths Chris this past weekend. Upon arrival, I noticed that the space is pretty huge, dimly lit, and pretty much everything I would expect from a high end steakhouse. Having the reputation precede it, I had fairly high expectations and they were pretty much met. The bill was pretty high for one person, which included a 3 course meal and 3 hour open bar. I must say though that it was one of the best steaks I have had to date. It was right up there with BLT, except I enjoyed BLT much more due to their sauce selection and better side dishes. Overall a very good meal, but the cost was too high for what I ended up with.

for all you meat lovers.

Hailie and I made a reservation for 6PM because we had a musical to catch. Although we made it on time, we unexpectedly had to wait for 35 minutes due to a random musical crew's dine-out. Only once they had all left was the large group of waiting people seated. Highly disappointing, but that did not last long. The steaks were well-cooked and lightly seasoned enough to our taste, and the waiter's service and wine-recommendation was exceptional. When you order, however, I recommend getting side dishes. For if you don't, all you will get for your entre is a large chunk of meat. No greens, absolutely nothing. All you will see on your table is a whole steak, with the bread left-overs. Worth a visit.
