    Ruth's Chris is where the chain format works: 500-degree plates, butter, and cooks who hit temperature every time. You are paying a premium for reliability rather than personality, and for a lot of diners that trade is worth making.

    Local tip: The happy hour bar menu is the only affordable way into this room.
