Editorial Review for Ruth's Chris Steak House – by Tara de Lis

In Short
This offshoot of a popular New Orleans hangout for politicians features decor of dark woods and comfortable booths, with a separate bar scene. Choice cuts of custom-aged beef arrive in sizzling butter on 500-degree plates. The menu also offers chicken, pork and seafood entrees along with Creole appetizers like shrimp remoulade. Family-style sides include gargantuan onion rings, creamed spinach and various styles of potatoes. Traditional homemade desserts like cheesecake and bread pudding conclude the meal.

Look Good

It's not on the menu, but consider ordering your steak "Oscar style," which means it's topped with asparagus, crab cakes and bearnaise sauce.

User Reviews for Ruth's Chris Steak House

2 Star Rating: Below Average

Ruth Chris is by far one of my favorite place to eat, but not this one! I've ate at atleast six different locations and this is not on par with any of the others. Ambiance does not exisit at the San Degio location. The resturant was unappealing. It was outdated with dirty smelly carpet.! Our dinner lacked flavor. One of my favorite side dishes to order is the heir loom tomatoes, but when I ate it here it tasted awful. It was soggy and on the bitter side. For my entree I had the rib eye and it didn't have the signature Ruth Chris flavor. Although I ordered medium rare, the steak tasted dry. I don't recommend this restaurant at all!!!

Pros: None

Cons: Ambiance and food.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I've gotta admit that this restaurant is absolutely incredible. Delicious and worth every penny. Yes, pricey but if you are looking for a good piece of meat this is the place to go for the steak. They cook it just right! Combined with a bottle of red wine and the mash potatoes you have a delectable unforgetable meal! I would recommend this to anyone anyday!!

Pros: EVERYTHING

Cons: yes its a lil pricey
