I was very much looking forward to a nice dinner out with my husband, and Ruth's Chris seemed to be a good choice given all of the hype I'd heard about it from friends who had visited other locations.\n\nWhen we were seated, our server poured our waters and managed to get some in the glass as the ice chunks splashed puddles onto our tablecloth.  Our server was nice enough, but not extremely attentive overall.\n\nI ordered a bottle of wine, and 10 minutes later was presented a different bottle of wine. I decided to keep that bottle because I have enjoyed it before and I didn't want to wait for another bottle.  Once our glasses were poured, it was another 20-ish minutes before the server came to check on us again- I ended up pouring my own wine because I didn't want to wait any longer.\n\nMy husband (Vegetarian) had the terrific option (sarcasm meter going off) of choosing any 3 sides. Come on RC, a $50/plate restaurant can't keep some pasta noodles in the pantry and throw together a nice veggie and pasta dish? I understand we were at a steak house, but it would have been nice to provide an option other than a bunch of sides disguised as an entree.\n\nMy \"medium\" steak came out well done, and the wrong veggies were delivered with my husband's 'entree'.  Fortunately they fixed the error quickly, but given the series of errors, it was beginning to get ridiculous.\n\nEventually the manager walked by who was very kind and pleasant to speak with.  He seemed genuinely concerned about our satisfaction and apologized for the many errors we endured.\n\nAs we waited for our check, our server brought over a piece of chocolate cake with \"Thank you\" written in chocolate, as an apology from the manager.  Now this cake, was probably one of the most amazing desserts I have ever eaten.  Very rich, very decadent, and enough for two of us to easily share- the cake, was the stuff dreams are made of!  I wanted to come back to the restaurant later that evening just to get another piece of that cake (I didn't do it- but the thought genuinely crossed my mind!).  That gesture of good will has changed my mind from a \"will never return\" to a \"we might give RC a second chance after all.\"
