点评:We have been to a number of Taster events at Ruths Chris, this was the first one tonight for 2024, and unfortunately, we may cancel the balance of the reservations we have made for this year.
I made the reservation and gave my card# and when they called this week to confirm, i confirmed! Our anniversary is this weekend, and my husband and i thought this would be a great anniversary dinner to share - only to get there and we were asked if we were part of another group, to which we responded no, we are here on our own.
We were then seated at a table with a daughter and mother who we did not know, and they were lovely. However, next to us was an empty table as well as a booth on the other side, which remained empty the entire meal.
The first course was a crab salad with arugula and a vinaigrette dressing. The arugula was soooo salty it was inedible. At first i thought it was the crab salad, but after eating each thing separately, it was the arugula.
Second course was carrot ginger soup, and despite the fact it was not hot, barely luke warm, it really was delicious, but it would have been nice if it was warmish. Tough to find someone to help, and by that time it was cold and there was no point.
The filet and the short rib were delicious, especially the short rib, and I commented that they must have a new chef which was later confirmed, and that is a good change from last year.
The dessert was a pear with ice cream in the middle, but when they served it it was already melted off the pear, and we then had to wait another 10 minutes to get a spoon to eat it, at which point it really was inedible, pic below.
This meal is $125 per person - and 2 of the courses, if not 3, were inedible between the salt on the arugula and the cold soup and the pear with no silverware. My husband went and spoke with the manager, Leo Carrasquillo, i know this because the only response he had was to thank my husband and give him his card! After waiting another 15 minutes to try and pay, i went to find this man to let him know. I ran into him and started to let him know that we could not even pay the bill, and in the middle of my sentence, he walked away!
As I followed him to our table, he took our check and gave us a bag wishing us a happy anniversary, which had a bottle of champagne and cheesecake, which while nice, i hate cheesecake and dont drink champagne, which he might have known if he had not walked away from me mid-sentence.
I will be cancelling our reservations for the remaining dinners offered in the fall. There are others i guess in the summer, but they are not on the website, and the Fall dinners do not have menus posted yet - no loss there!
I will not be returning to this restaurant - while it is improved with a new chef, the management and staff are not at the same level and charging $125 for 2 good courses out of 5 is entirely too expensive for what you get.
翻译:我们参加过 Ruths Chris 的许多品酒师活动,这是 2024 年今晚的第一次活动,不幸的是,我们可能会取消今年的预订余额。
我进行了预订并提供了我的卡#,当他们本周打电话确认时,我确认了!我们的周年纪念日就在这个周末,我和我丈夫认为这将是一次很棒的周年纪念晚宴,值得分享——只是到了那里,我们被问到我们是否是另一个团体的一员,我们回答说不是,我们自己在这里。
然后我们和一个我们不认识的女儿和母亲坐在一张桌子旁,他们很可爱。然而,我们旁边有一张空桌子,另一边还有一个摊位,整个用餐过程中都是空的。
第一道菜是螃蟹沙拉配芝麻菜和油醋汁。芝麻菜太咸了,不能吃。一开始我以为是蟹肉沙拉,但分开吃后,发现是芝麻菜。
第二道菜是胡萝卜姜汤,虽然不热,只是微温,但确实很好吃,但如果是温热的就更好了。很难找到人来帮忙,而且那时天气已经很冷了,没有任何意义。
菲力牛排和小排骨很好吃,尤其是小排骨,我评论说他们一定换了新厨师,后来证实了这一点,这与去年相比是一个很好的改变。
甜点是一个梨子,中间有冰淇淋,但是上桌时梨子已经化了,我们又等了10分钟才拿勺子吃,此时实在是不能吃了,下图。
这顿饭每人 125 美元,其中 2 道菜(如果不是 3 道菜)在芝麻菜上的盐、冷汤和没有银器的梨之间是无法食用的。我丈夫去和经理 Leo Carrasquillo 交谈,我知道这一点,因为他唯一的回应就是感谢我丈夫并给了他他的卡!又等了 15 分钟尝试付款后,我去找这个人告诉他。我碰到了他,开始让他知道我们连账单都付不起,我的话刚说完,他就走开了!
当我跟着他到我们的餐桌时,他拿走了我们的支票,给了我们一个袋子,祝我们结婚周年快乐,里面有一瓶香槟和芝士蛋糕,虽然很好,但我不喜欢芝士蛋糕,也不喝香槟,如果他可能知道的话他并没有在说话中途离开我。
我将取消秋季剩余晚餐的预订。我猜夏天还有其他的,但他们不在网站上,而且秋季晚餐还没有张贴菜单 - 没有损失!
我不会再来这家餐厅了——虽然新厨师对它进行了改进,但管理人员和员工的水平并不相同,而且 5 道菜中的 2 道菜收费 125 美元,对于你所得到的东西来说完全太贵了。
