My 2nd anniversary dinner was held in Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I had always considered Ruth's Chris as a fancy steakhouse given its price, but found they aren't going the fancy style but a happy cosy steakhouse style. In several localised steakhouse in HK, you will find 'black pepper sauce' along with the steaks, but in Ruth's Chris Steakhouse the best sauce to go with your steak is Butter, Salt and Pepper. A topnotch steak does not require any sauce as itself can already provide the best taste
(A point to note: Once you have tried Ruth's Chris's Steak, you could never go back! Their steaks are heavenly delectable that you will miss them everytime you have steaks elsewhere. No exaggeration!!)Environment (5/10)
Very american settings with brilliant ambiance, looking fancy but quite causal. Seating is rather packed, but we reserved a more private area beforehand so we were fine.
Sizzling Crabcakes (9/10)
Delicious! It tasted very similar to the Maryland Crab Cakes (where Crab Cakes are originated from) according to my boyfriend. The Crab lumps tasted fresh and was nicely garnished with red peppers. It was slightly crispy with bread crumbs. And the dish really did come in sizzlingly hot!!Fillet, 11 ounces (9/10)
Came in a really thick cut and grilled in a perfect medium. It was very tender with suitable chewiness and had a Strong beef taste. Absolutely brilliant steak, the Fillet tasted twice as good as the Ribeye.
Ribeye, 12 ounces (7/10)
Had the ribeye in medium rare with extra butter and it came sizzingling on dish with the perfect look and texture. The texture was Great with the fats but the fat portion seemed too much. Upon my first bite I thought it had a much better texture than the Fillet, but later I found the fillet had a stronger beef taste and a nicer texture. Yet Ribeye definitely is a bit juicier than the Fillet.
Mashed Potatoes (7/10)
Quite creamy and smooth but the taste was not strong enough though. It might be better to make it a bit saltier or add some gravy to it.Layonnaise (0/10)
Appealing look but both the sliced potatoes and the onions were totally burned! A horribly prepared dish but we didn't returned it to the Kitchen.Creme Brulee (10/10)
An extremely thin and crispy caramel layer covered the lovingly smooth and creamy vanilla custard base. YUM! It is one of the best Creme Brulee I have ever had, or actually its the best at the moment.Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce (6/10)
It was a surprise complimentary dish for my anniversary with my boyfriend, so sweet of them! I love this bread pudding, it was overflowing with CINNAMON taste! (I admit I am biased on cinnamon based dish lol) There was also too many raisons and a very strong whiskey sauce that I dislike.Service (9/10)
Great hospitability, everyone carries a smile, very smart and caring. Nothing to ask for more. The pace of courses delivery was a bit rush though and there was no bread knife for the bread. Hence a point taken off from the perfect 10. Otherwise, its really fantastic!
******************************
Given the smartness and the hospitability of the staff, I will highly recommend Ruth's Chris to anyone who is trying to host birthday/ anniversary party. When we were deciding which desserts to choose from, the staff said the portion of the bread pudding and the banana tart are both too big for us and recommended us to try the four most popular dishes as shown on the dessert display tray. My boyfriend and I later figured it might be their tactics so we wouldn't choose the bread pudding which they have prepared as a complimentary annivesary dessert.
On my way out of the restaurant, the staffs kept saying happy anniversary to me. Although feeling a bit embarassed, it was actually pretty sweet and warming!
P.S. Do make a reservation beforehand and inform if its for a special occasion or not, they will prepare a great surprise if it is. Enjoy
