While I tend to avoid chains, this was a gift certificate we needed to spend. Luckily Ruth's Chris does not feel like a chain - the manager is very much in charge and passionate about his work, as are all the employees.\n\nWe had an amazing dinner here last night. From the moment we arrived we were treated like VIPs. The waiter (Francisco) was also a seasoned wine pro - he helped us pick the perfect wine and even took the time to recommend and write down some store bought Pinot Noirs we might enjoy later. \n\nThe steak here is perfection. Aged, prime meat served on a 500 degree plate with butter. This is right up there with Morton's, Donovan's, and Flemming's! She tried the Steak and Lobster and while the lobster was very good - stick with steak!\n\nThe staff all pitched in to keep my diet coke full. Excellent teamwork!\n\nIn summary: at $100 a person they earn every penny!\n\n- Sorry you caught them on a bad night Donald!
