Anybody Who Knows Me Knows My Favorite Food is Steak. I Love Me A Good Steakhouse So Alot of My Reviews Will Be On Local or Fancy Steakhouses That I Find When Exploring an Area. Todays Review is Going to Be on Ruth Chris Steakhouse. This Was The 1st Fancy Steak House Ive Ever Been To. While Visting the Downtown Atlanta Area on My Birthday I Decided to Teat Myself to A Nice Restaurant, But Where? As I Was Walking in the Beautiful Centennial Park On Afternoon in Downtown Atlanta I Started To Smell Something and it Smelled Amazing. I Kept Walking and Eventually Found What I Was Looking For, (267 Marietta St Atlanta, Ga. 30313) Ruths Chris Steak House. Now I Had Heard of This Place but Never Been So Now That I Finally Found a Location I Knew I Couldnt Pass Up This Opportunity. I Walked in and immediately Felt Under-dressed, I Was Casually Dressed Due to Not Knowing Where i’d End Up. The Atmosphere & Decor Was A Little Upscale So I immediately Knew Id Probably End Up Sending A Pretty Penny Here.
I Must Have Gotten There Before Dinner Rush Because The Restaurant Was Fairly Empty. I Was Able to Get A Nice Window Seat Over Looking Centennial Park Which Had Beautiful View During the Day. Since The Place Wasnt Packed I Was Able to Get Quick, Friendly Service. Before Looking Over The Menu I Decided To Order Me A Drink, An Amaretto Sour to Be Exact That Was Made Perfectly to My Surprise. Usually When I Order This Drink its Either Too Sour or Has Too Much Cherry Flavor, but This One Was Perfect. Any Restaurant That Starts Off with Good Drinks is A1 in My Book.
I Had About 2 More Drinks While Browsing the Menu Then Finally Decided on Something. The Menu Offered Some Nice Selections; From Seafood, Pork Chops, and My Personal Favorite Lamb Chops. I Was So Hungry I Felt Like I Could Eat One of Everything but I Had to Remember Why I Came in the First Place . . . STEAK ! I Decided to Order the Filet Cut W/ Grilled Asparagus and Potatoes Au Gratin. My Food Came At A Reasonable Time and Boy Was I in For A Treat. Everything Smelled Great and Mouth Watering! My Steak Came Hot & The Butter Was Still Sizzling on The Plate. The Asparagus Looked Like it Had Been Grilled and The Potatoes Au Gratin Was Super Cheesy.
All & All The Experience Was Pretty Nice. One Thing I Noticed Was, To Me They Didnt Use Every Much Salt and I Found Myself Having to Put Some on My Food. Now Thats Not Necessarily A Deal Breaker for Me Because id Rather Have My Food Under Seasoned Than Over Seasoned. Other Than That The Taste of Everything Was Nice,and The Steak Was Well Seasoned &Very Tender. It Was A Nice Steakhouse But Not What I Expected. Alot of People Who I Know Have Went There Kinda Over-Hyped it but I Still Give it A Good Rating. Its Defiantly A Bit Costly to Me but Well Worth The Experience. Next Time I Visit I Think ill Try The Lamb Chops. Id Recommend This Restaurant if You Were Having A Romantic Date Night! As Far As Rating, id Give it 7.5/10.
