My experience went really well. I made a same day appointment to celebrate my interview article release in a local magazine. Jovan accommodated the reservation and Alex, my waiter took great care of me. My allergies actually began bothering me the later it got and Alex brought me hot tea with lemon up on my request. Ruth's Chris actually doesn't sell sweet hot tea. It's either hot tea or cold sweet tea. Alex manually made it for me TWICE. The meal was better enjoyable with the hot tea as it made me feel better in too of the food was amazing! I prefer Alex being my designated waiter from here in out, although that may not be feasible. Just make a note of this. :) Overall, a good dinner and large enough portions to take for lunch tomorrow. Ruth's Chris remains to lead the list as my favorite restaurant. When I say a medium steak, that's exactly what I get.
