Ruth's Chris - Orlando

Does anyone have an opinion to share about this steakhouse?

I have had mostly great experiences at this restaurant in other states, but I%26#39;m wondering if anyone has any feedback on this particular location? We%26#39;re considering it for an anniversary dinner.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Never eaten at the Orlando one but the one here in Sarasota is just as delicious as the one in San Diego was. It%26#39;s a great place and I don%26#39;t think you could go wrong with it anywhere.

Tip! We went there for our anniversary a couple of months ago, and when I made the online reservations, it gave me a choice to say if it was for an anniversary or not. I checked the box and we got a free yummy chocolate dessert cake thingy after our meal!

It was nice, but to tell you the truth, the fillet mignon (what I always order out) was much better at Charlies. They have one on 192 and also I Drive. To me, the atmosphere is more romantic at Ruth Chris%26#39; but the food is better at Charlies. Just my opinion.

When we go on vacation we avoid ';chain '; restaurants. Not because they are bad, but rather when away we would like to try the local spots, one of which should be superior to Ruth%26#39;s Chris. If you don%26#39;t mind a trip to WDW the California Grill consistently serves up great food, steaks included.

When we were at the Scottsdale retsaurant a couple of years ago the wine waiter comes along and offers us mineral water - ';Sparkling or still sir?';.

I had not ordered this and was hopping mad when we were charged $10 per bottle for imported Italian water.

It was a very slick operation and I complained to the head office on my return home.

Have you come across this on your visits to the other restaurants in this chain? It might have been a one-off ';local initiative';

Thanks for the feedback.

I will remember to mention it%26#39;s our anniversary if we make a reservation @ RC%26#39;s.

We have been to Charlie%26#39;s (once) and I agree the food was great. We%26#39;ll likely eat there again, but probably not for our anniversary.

I will look into the California Grill. I wasn%26#39;t planning to have any sit down meals in WDW, but I%26#39;ll take any suggestions I can get.

I%26#39;ve eaten at Ruth%26#39;s half a dozen times in 4 different states and I%26#39;ve never felt like anyone tried to take advantage. In fact, the server has almost always encouraged us to order less food/share portions to keep the bill down and leftovers to a minimum. I usually order a San Pellegrino with dinner, so I know they%26#39;re going to put it on the bill. It%26#39;s disappointing to hear they didn%26#39;t explain that before pouring at the Scottsdale location.
