The food was very good, even though it took forever. The waiter and kitchen seemed to be far too busy for the prices they're asking, but they were very friendly. It was a Saturday night though, so maybe it's better during the week.
In the past I've had a good experience at Ruth's Chris. However, this time my experience was a 3-star or less experience due to the service. We decided to sit in the bar to enjoy a quicker meal and drinks. As always, the food and cocktails were great. However, we didn't get full glasses of water with our meal and they were never refilled, even though we were promised that he'd return with more water. We also had to wait a significant amount of time to order our second round of drinks. Then I waited with my card in hand for 20-30 minutes for our server to come back and give us the check. Luckily another server saw us waiting and gave us the check/ran the card. Again, the food and and drinks were great, but the service was poor.
The food was truly amazing. The service overall was very good, except for the bill. Didn't split it the first time we asked, and when they did we didn't get a pen.
For a restaurant of this caliber we were a bit disappointed with the seating aswell. It didn't feel like you had any privacy. You could clearly hear people from other tables. We compared it to the 'yard house' we were a couple of days before.
That said, food 10+. The service could have been a bit better, just as the seating. But that didn't take away from the great taste.
What a wonderful experience this was. I thoroughly enjoyed the food here. I ordered the salmon and oh my word, it is literally the best Salmon I have ever had. It was crispy an the very top slightly blackened and the rest was moist all the way through. There was not a dry piece in there. It was served with creamed spinach and mashed potatoes, the mashed was scrumptious but I did not try the spinach. This place is not for everyone but if you have the means to come here at least once, do it. The staff was very friendly, not just a polite stiffness, but professional and friendly. Our servers for the event that I went to we're amazing, especially the tall drink of water that was easy on the eyes. For dessert I was served an espresso chocolate mousse cake with a raspberry sauce and a strawberry, I believe it is called "Sin cake" but I'm not a hundred percent sure on that. The cake is sinfully good though. I plan to come back here one day.
