Q:
A: At Ruth's Chris, everything is a la carte. That means there's a price for your steak. If you want a salad, that's extra. Potatoes cost extra. Vegetables cost extra. $60 is going to get 2 hamburgers, 2 sodas, and one side dish. Most of the steaks at Ruth's Chris cost more than $30. Obviously their prices vary around the US. A filet that costs $52 in New York City may only cost $32 in the midwest, where the stockyards and slaughterhouses are located. For a steak, a salad, a potato,a vegetable, and a tea/coffee/soda for each person, definitely plan on spending $55 to $85 PER PERSON. Desserts can cost between $7 and $20 per person. A bottle of wine or individual glasses of wine are quite pricey. By the time you add in tax and tip - and again, depending on exactly which city you're in - you can expect to spend anywhere from $250 to $500 on dinner for 4. Don't forget that you can go to the restaurant ahead of time and ask them for a copy of their menu with prices.
