Three Restaurant Reviews

I would have never heard of Ruth’s Chris except that I sometimes watch a local cable television show which highlights all of the area restaurants on its weekly program. They did a review of Ruth’s Chris steaks, and while practically drooling on camera, they described how the steaks are drizzled in butter and cooked in a 5000 degree oven that literally makes the butter sizzle all the way to the table. While I enjoy steak as much as the next person, I’m not that much of a steak fanatic. Given that I’m rather picky about having a quality cut of meat that’s cooked just so, and since I try to watch my calorie intake, more often than not I go for a salad or a nice salmon rather than a steak. The restaurant stuck in my mind however, because I was intrigued by their oven. 5000 degrees? I never knew such an oven existed! How do they even take the steak out? Fireman’s gloves? I’m not sure if pot holders would quite do the trick.

In New England, our nearest restaurant location is in Boston. For me, raised in the suburbs of New Hampshire, Boston is something of a logistical nightmare to navigate with its one-way streets, traffic jams, parking nightmares, and outrageous prices. I wanted a special birthday for the man I love, however, so I swallowed my resistance and we headed off on the hottest day of the year for an afternoon of a Boston Harbor cruise followed by dinner reservations at Ruth’s Chris Steak House inside Boston’s old City Hall.

Even though I take issue having to pay for parking in any way shape or form, it was a relief knowing a valet would be there to collect the car and free us from worry other than the inherent worry of handing over the keys of my sole means of transportation to a stranger who might pop the clutch or worse, pop a wheelie as soon as they round the corner out of sight.

For someone who enjoys history as much as I do, getting to eat dinner at a restaurant located inside such an historical building was a treat in and of itself. The entryway was romantically dim. Despite the fact that we had reservations right at 5:00 (when the restaurant opens) and the fact that there were no other patrons standing in the reception area other than the two of us, I was mildly annoyed that the two hostesses still found a way to make us wait there for a few minutes before someone finally ushered us down into the belly of the building where we were seated in one of the dining rooms. Since it was early, we had the room to ourselves. We were offered a wine list which we declined, and water and bread were served to us by not one but two attentive waiters who stood just outside the dining room throughout the entire dinner. It was comforting to know they were there to attend to our needs, but slightly unnerving that all they had nothing to do but stand there and watch us eat. Even though I think of myself as a princess, I’m not accustomed to actually being treated like royalty.

The menu is eclectic, including a variety of steaks, seafood, and chicken dishes. Salads are fresh, topped with dressings made at the restaurant, and desserts are heavenly, especially the homemade butter pecan ice cream and the bread pudding, which can be ordered as a combo. Service is attentive and polite without being obtrusive, and ordered items come at appropriately spaced intervals to allow you to finish the previous selection, whether it be an appetizer or a salad.

During the summer months, lunch and dinner can be eaten outside under a beautiful veranda that looks out over the Kanawha River and its falls. A popular site for weddings, it is always wise to call the Glen Ferris Inn for reservations.
