Ruth's Chris, Underacheiver
Ruth's Chris, Underacheiver
The bowl of cheese next to the steak is actually the gratin the restaurant is semi-known for. It is sad when you can get recognition for your starch just by adding 5lbs of cheese to it. I like cheese as much as the next person, but two inches of it melted over some diced undercooked potatoes doesn't make a good gratin.
The steak was tough and sinewy, and the flavor really wasn't very good at all. I ordered it rare, thinking that was the best way to experience a steak served at a place that is known for good steaks. Also, I really like rare meat. There was no good tender meat, though, and it actually tasted like it might be a little off.
For the steak and the cheese and raw potato soup it was $50. I would never go there again anyway, but the bus boy spitting on the sidewalk in front of my patio table cinched it. Ruth's Chris is a loser.
