Ruth's Chris Steak House

OK - I was willing to pay the $45 or $50 (I can't remember exactly) for the steak. One of my pet peeves is cold food, but even when served sizzling hot, food will naturally cool off once it's served. So I was excited to have steak that stayed hot till the end. So, I ordered it without butter (give them marks for telling me that on the menu), and it came rare. I ordered medium. When the waiter finally came to check I told him and he told me I should cut it into thin slices and let it cook on the plate. Uh - I don't think so. For a $50 steak, maybe you can cook it for me too? So, finally he agrees to have it cooked more, and it comes back butterflied (which destroys a steak) and slathered in butter. So, I complain again saying I can't eat steak with butter on it (the thought of it makes me want to hurl), so he takes it to the kitchen and they wash the butter off. No kidding. Now I have steak that's been coated in butter, butterflied, overcooked and rinsed. Are we still worth $50, folks? At the Keg, they would have given me a whole new steak with a whole new plate. No questions asked. For half the money.

They didn't even offer any courtesy or discount for the inconvenience.

We won't be back.
