    We had the petite filet Valentines day . The steaks were perfectly cooked and seasoned. We had creamed spinach and mashed potatoes with the steals. Both sides were really tasty. we had a flourless chocolate espresso cake as a perfect dessert. It was decadent and rich. The service was good to great and the atmosphere was romantic and upscale. It's an expensive meal but the execution of all the meal components makes it worth the price. Ruth's Chris remains our favorite special occasion restaurants.
