Now that you mention Ruth's Chris Steak House, it reminded me that that was the location of the worst food and the worst service that I have ever experienced. I know that folks who don't eat red meat should probably steer clear of steak houses, but I was going there to dine with friends. I paid the same price as those folks who ordered steaks and was given a plate with six disgusting looking blobs of over cooked vegetables.

We were a large group and a number of folks in our group did not show. We were happy to pitch in and pay for those uneaten meals, but when we asked if we could have those steaks, the wait staff became totally indignant and refused to even consider the possibility that we should be allowed to take that food we paid for.

That experience soured me so completely that I have refused to step foot in Ruth's Chris ever since.

Now that I think about it, every "famous" expensive steak house in which I have ever eaten, with the exception of the Metropolitan Grill in Seattle (which is fantastic no matter what one orders), has been a huge disappointment.
