Ruth's Chris
Hi everyone,
I said in one of my earlier post that I would check out how the Ruth's Chris restaurant is in Aruba. This past Saturday I decided to surprise my mom, brother and sister to a nice dinner at Ruth's Chris. (Mother's day celebration)
Made the reservation a day earlier and the lady at the phone attended me nicely. They start to take reservations after 1pm.
When we arrived I noticed that it was pretty busy. We were nicely greeted and seated. The host also introduced us to our waiter of the night Cesar. When we arrived at our table (big and comfortable) there were white napkins on the table. These were changed to black ones, in order to match our clothing and to not leave white lints on our clothes, the host explained. (I liked this small detail)
When Cesar arrived he introduced himself nicely and asked what we wanted to drink and handed us the menus. The drinks (juices) were brought quickly and were fresh and good. Cesar was a real salesperson, I felt that he was trying to sell us as much as possible... didn't like that much. I had an US prime cut steak, my mom and sister had a filet mignon and my brother had a t-bone steak, we all had an appetizer as well.
I ordered my steak medium,well done. Unfortunately it came out to raw with still blood inside. The other steaks were good. We had a good time, the ambiance was nice but I missed the music, you could only hear people talking and eating.
When we were done and I wanted to pay we got a surprise. They didn't accept atm cards. Only credit cards! As locals we normally just charge our atm cards. I had to go all the way to the Casino to withdraw money from an atm. They told us that since they are just open they didn't have this atm machine yet. I would have preferred to know this beforehand when I made the reservation. Again locals don't normally use credit cards when we are in Aruba.
The total charge was $310 dollars. I thought that it was expensive.
Just my experience at the Ruth's Chris.
