"Last week, my friend Chas and I met up at the Ruth's Chris location in Parsippany, New Jersey. While Chas had been to a Ruth's Chris before, it was my first time. I was cautiously optimistic about our visit. I have tried many great steaks at various steakhouses across the country, but often find that I can make a similar steak at home. We started our meal with some cocktails. Chas ordered an Old Fashioned, so I decided to try a Manhattan for comparison. Typically a fan of Old Fashioneds, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Manhattan was better. A tip for Old Fashioned lovers - the bar inside the hotel next to the restaurant makes a good one. I didn't order an appetizer myself, but I sampled the Ruth's chopped salad and Lobster Bisque from my friends. The salad was creatively plated and had good flavors, while the Lobster Bisque was creamy with a strong lobster taste. Although I wouldn't personally pay for these appetizers, they were not bad at all. For our main course, Samantha and I shared the Porterhouse for Two, accompanied by fried potatoes and grilled asparagus for the table. The steak was cooked perfectly to medium rare and had a delicious buttery flavor. The grilled asparagus was decent, but nothing remarkable. For dessert, I tried the Ruth's Coffee, which was similar to the Cappuccino from Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa, Florida. It was a delightful drink that I would definitely order again. Dining at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse is on the pricier side, but if the food and drinks are as good as they were during our visit, it's worth it. Overall, our experience at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse was very enjoyable."
