Ruth's Chris has a dress code? Yeah, I don't think I'd be welcome there. <sigh> If it requires anything more than cargo pants or khakis and a pullover knit shirt, it's unlikely I'll be patronizing them. I just don't get dressed up. I guess a lot of places that want to be "classy" have that kind of requirement. I don't get out much to that sort of establishment anymore, I'm pretty laid-back.

Oh well. Best steak I ever ate was definitely my own, multiple times over. Best steak I ever ate out... hmmm... Charley's Steak House in Orlando, FL and some Prime place down in Dallas. Can't remember... something simple like Bob's Prime or something. I ate at Mahogany in Tulsa once, had a great bone-in Prime ribeye - food was great, but their service really annoyed me. They hovered way too much, seemed like people were packed into that place like sardines (although luckily we ended up with a corner table that had more elbow room), and it wasn't a comfortable dining experience, honestly.

Having a waiter come over and use some kinda straight blade to sweep crumbs off of the tablecloth around my plate while I am still dining just seems too much to me. I like having a little bit of space and they seemed to hover way too much and way too close, like I didn't want to carry on a conversation with my wife because it seemed like they were literally within 2 steps of me the entire time. Meh. For over $200 (or maybe even $300? I don't remember) with drinks, I didn't feel comfortable there at all.

I went to a place that did the crumb scrape thing once and it just about drove me crazy. You've done a public service here by allowing me to scratch Mahogany off my list. It might have gotten ugly the first time the crumb scraper showed up.

so this is inside the River Spirit casino?
Yes. In the new Margaritaville addition. Originally it was to be a Mickey Mantle's but word on the street was that they pulled out because the tribe wanted to manage it. As I understand it, Ruth's Chris will NOT be run by the tribe and that is a very good thing. The Margaritaville restaurant is also independently run but I wasn't impressed. Average food at a way above average price.

Dined at Ruth's in Vegas once. My wife found a 2 for $100 3 course dinner coupon. Yes, we used a coupon at Ruth's Chris. The food and service were outstanding, but the best I've had was at Joe's Stone Crab and Steak in Ceasar's. As much or maybe more expensive than Ruth's.

Joe's is Caesar's Forum is prob the most legit place out of many that I've been. Best ribeye and lobster ever. Keen's in NYC was really great, specifically the place itself was really cool. Old pipes all over the place and wood everywhere.

Glad I'm not the only one who finds that kind of "hovering" a bit odd. lol
We went to the Warren Duck Club a couple of times in Tulsa.
Dress code was jacket and tie for men and Dresses for women. You had an individual wait staff for your table only. He never left. When you took a drink from your tea and set it down, it was replaced by another fresh glass. Crumb scraping was common.
When we left, we went to some Caribbean themed place and got a burger. Fine dining does not put a lot of food on the table.
Its been awhile since we went there. Smoking was allowed in restaurants, and I don't remember when the Duck Club closed. 20 years ago? Fine dining is not our cup of tea.

Leave it to OSA to ***** about too much service LOL..... FWIW boys..... in fine dining they are supposed to keep the table as clean and clear as possible. God knows y'all would be bitching if the service wasn't perfect for the prices they command.

Actually the Warren Duck Club is still open in the same location. My wife and I went about a year ago and it was good but not like it was in the 80's.

FFS man, we aren't allowed to express an opinion? WTH is wrong with you? All I said was I didn't care for that type of being fawned over. If you do, then enjoy being treated as if you are someone "special"... I just want a nice dinner and to be left alone. And you turn that into something to b|tch about?

Get real, dude.
