. Staff was friendly. The Owner was
very passionate about his place. This is how you know a place will
survive. The New Chef is wonderful. The place is not very busy
but deserved much better. It really is Canton's best k

I'd heard a lot about Ruth's Chris Steak House because
they don't have one where I live. So all the anticipation
of visiting the steak house so nice they named it twice evaporated
with the experience I had.
<br>
My dinner companion said the Ruth's Chris in Annapolis and
this location were great, but he didn't like the other Baltimore
location. You could have fooled me, because this location was
not what you'd expect when shelling out big bucks.
<br>
To start, I asked for a Manhattan with either Booker's or
Woodford Reserve bourbon. Our server wasn't sure if they
had one or either, so he asked for a backup option, which I said
could be Maker's Mark in a pinch. When he brought the drink,
he neglected to tell me which bourbon it was, which isn't
that big a deal, but you think he'd tell me since I specifically
asked for a certain type.
<br>
The whole lobster we ordered was immaculate, cooked to sweet
perfection and removed totally from the shell, per our request.
The meal took a turn for the worse when our filets, which we both
ordered medium, were anything but. Medium is usually described
as having a pinkish center. The dead center of both filets had
no pink, only grey throughout. You figure a steakhouse would
undercook something rather than overcook, given the prices
and for what the kitchen is shelling out for prime cuts of beef.
The second effort wasn't much better, delivering mine which
was probably more medium well, but I wasn't about to wait
for a third time.
<br>
Dinner and drinks, of which we both had a few, came to $290, which
is astounding even for a place this expensive. It helps that the
tab was covered by his company's expense account. But I was
largely disappointed by the hype surrounding Ruth's Chris,
much as children are disappointed to find out Santa Claus is really
just Mom and Dad.
<br>
I'll give Ruth's Chris another shot, but it'll
have to be on someone else's dime again.
