It is a tradition for celebrating a special occasion at this restaurant every year. Picking this restaurant not only because of the atmosphere and the guaranteed quality, it's the memory here and wanting to keep creating another one. Having a seat beside the window with the old school interior, friendly staff welcomed us politely and as usual introducing their menu.

Having a seat beside the window with the old school interior, friendly staff welcomed us politely and as usual introducing their menu.
We ordered the mushroom stuffed with crabmeat, medium rare 12 ounce ribeye steak, with two sides of lyonnaise potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts.
First came was the bread here. It would never be a disappointment. Just you could tell the crunchy crust from its look. Spreading with the spreadable lightly salted butter, it seems a simple start but you would definitely drool only for the bread.
Stuffed mushroom was come on a sizzling hot plate. You could tell how hot it was from the bubbling butter. Mushroom type changes depends on seasons. This time it was white button mushrooms . Big and moist. Loaded with a height of crab meat with sprinkled crispy cheese zest. It was a perfect combo. Savoury, craby, umami, with a hint of cheese, all combine on one delicacy. Well done.
Moving on, the main was coming with the two sides, ribeye was coming again on sizzling hot plates. Cooked perfectly to medium rare. Soft, juicy, melty in your mouth. The black pepper and salt crusted steak literally gave each bite a crazy wow factor. The steak juice and flavour triggered your palate to drool over. It was absolutely a heaven food, a master piece. Cut was half lean and half fat. Well balanced.
Roasted brussel sprouts was perfectly seasoned with a good roasty crunch. Bacon bites were smoky and crispy. Lyonnaise potatoes were a roasted slice potatoes with caramelised onions. Potatoes was slight crunch with its silky texture. Onions were soft and sweet. If you don't want potato dish which was oily or deep fried, this can be an option.
Last but not least, celebrating with my all time favourite warm apple crumb tart. It was served a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. Actually very thoughtful that the ice cream wouldn't melt on the candle and mess up with the words written on the plate. Thank Chris Ruth again keeping their tradition capturing the celebration and framing it in a small card. A little gift to remember another year of joy here. Crumbs on top this time was on a big chunks size. Crust was also on a thick side. Very buttery. It's a very good quality cookie crust. Apple slices inside was also big thick slices which preferable in a thinner size so easier to be fully cook to soft. Not too cinnamon while on a caramel juicy side. Serving with a strong vanilla ice cream definitely gave a punch. Indulgent but satisfying. Always my favourite.
Last but not least, rounding up the meal with a cup of double espresso. Aromatic and nutty bitterness to cleanse all the heaviness and sweetness. Cozy and hearty.
It's wonderful Chris Ruth always keeps their tradition of celebrating special occasions, their high quality service, guaranteed food and home- feeling old school interior. It's my all time flavour and my annual celebration venue and it will always be.
