Trip report: Ruth\'s Christ Steakhouse (meh!)
YES, i went to RCS....For those that want to know what "ok" steak is keep reading. For those that know how bad this is please utilize the quick reply ala El D and flame away.
Event: Brothers B-Day Party: 5 Time: 8:30PM Saturday What was ordered Booze: 2 bottles of Clos Du Val Pinot Noir Appetizers: -Shrimp Cocktail (kind of wet, not very snappy but not crappy) -Ceaser Salad (got sent back, it was nasty...how do you mess up such a signature dish!) -lollipop lambchops with a cajun rub - these were excellent as this is the only meat i love well done. Except there was no cajun rub. -Calamari this was not my choice and i have no clue WTF it was doing on the menu. I could eat this for break/lunch/dinner so i wasnt complaining but i did make a comment to my bro [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Dinner: Bro: Filet - looked good but tasted no good Wifey: Lobster Tail - yeah, it was a lobster from the only midget in the tank...the thing was like a mous bous. BAD Mother: VealChop - WOW, this was amazing...I'm a huge VealChop guy but i got annoyed b/c this is a steak joint. Why is the best food on the menu veal? Veal is just a baby steak right? Father and I: Steak for two (in light butter) It was served med/rare and it was good for like 2 pieces and then the butter got me all grossed out so i stole the veal chop from the mother who was into her 3rd apple martini Sides: -Mash Potatoes -Cottage Fries (EXCELLENT) -Creamed Spinach (Pretty good) Desert: NO GOOD Waitstaff: This is the only reason why i would go back here. Our guy was knowledgable and fun and although he didnt have that old-guard-steak-guy attitude i felt he was dedicated and enjoyed what he did. When the ceaser was returned, the "host" came by to talk and stuck around for a drink...on them. Overall (out of 5): I came into this place thinking the worst but leaving with a full stomach and an enjoyable experience. If i lived in a hole for 10 years and never experienced a true NY chopshop then i would say this was good, but i have so... I rate this a 2 for food/quality and a 5 for service. I kept thinking i was in the New Jersey of steak joints. |
