My wife and I have a tradition: Ruth's Chris for our anniversaries. We've been to one every year for the last 8 years. We've been happy most of the time, the portion sizes are generous (we try not to eat too much before the steak because we just can't eat that much food), and it's the best steak, time after time, we've ever had. Their kobe beef is the best I've ever had, too. Interestingly, our San Francisco and LA experiences were poor: SF for their stupid seating arrangement (they put two loudmouths right next to us in an otherwise empty restaurant) and LA hosts were just not very friendly. Give them a try. Two hilarious notes — the lavender martini and the shoe-throwing! My wife and I have a tradition: Ruth’s Chris for our anniversaries.

Give them a try.

I have a couple of friends who have spent significant time in LA and I didn't even think to ask them.

I doubt I'm the only LA native who reads your blog(s) regularly. You should have asked for restaurant recommendations from your readers.

Meals were similarly small. After two days people were starving and started filling their pockets with apples and cookies during the coffee breaks just so they would not have to go to bed hungry. The food was good though, but these restaurants are not for sustenance but rather to sample tastes and show off the skill of the kitchen (and the budget for ingredients).

We ate at Ramsay's place at the Ritz Carlton just outside Dublin and left unimpressed (and significantly, significantly lighter in the wallet). But I don't think we're white-glove-service sorta people. I agree you should have asked to be moved, I'm sure they would have accommodated you. Interesting review!
