text: I will start from the beginning as I typically do when reviewing a restaurant We arrived Ruth Chris a bit early for our pm reservation though the restaurant was still just opening for the dinner shift Tashira the hostess welcomed my party and I with a warm hello and sat us at the bar while we waited on our table Erin and Patrick the bartenders were friendly and equally entertaining while creating good conversation and our beverages Chris and Ashley the managers on site greeted us while enjoying cocktails at the bar both with humble greetings and endearment It was not long before Jessica another employee graciously assisted us to our table Laura Beth our server first introduced herself before engaging us with the daily specials being served that evening I first noticed her exceptional professionalism it was rather busy that night and for anyone with knowledge of the foodservice industry understanding that keeping your cool while doing covers in a fine dining establishment is no easy feat After taking our drink order we informed Laura Beth of our plans to attend a concert that began at pm sharp so a sense of urgency was necessary Z the servers assistant came at once with bread service he was kind When Laura Beth returned My guest ordered a salad Petite Filet with BBQ Crab medium rare and Green Beans and I the Ribeye with Au Poivre sauce medium rare with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and the Potato au Gratin nBesides the salad of cool vineripen tomatoes and mozzarella the food arrived hot Let me say again the food arrived hot Everything the way I requested and the chef intended Proteins cooked to the liking of my guest and as requested seasoned beautifully the crab masterfully prepared by the kitchen staff My au poivre sauce comparative of French bistros Green beans crisp and delightful the gratin luscious sexy cheesy goodness The wine perfect Laura Beth arrived once more to find our drinks full and mouths full courteously smiling back at me knowing my guest and I were doing just fine Evening though we were in quite the hurry the team at Ruth Chris did a marvelous job keeping my guest and I thoroughly happy as we dined I happily advise anyone in or traveling to the area to keep Ruth Chris in mind when seeking dinner and a quite night out with a loved one cocktails and conversation with business associates in the incredible bar or even a quick lunch on the outdoor patio with views of Tyron Street and the inhabitants going on with their busy city lives
