Questions for those who have eaten at Ruth's Chris.

[SithSolo1]

How much did it run on average per person? Will $200 be enough for 4 college guys? Also, what do you recommend for dinner?

My parents rented a limo for a concert they are going to and three of my friends and I get the limo while they are at the concert(3hrs in Atlanta). We've got reservations at Ruth's Chris but I'm beginning to doubt $50 per person is gonna be enough. Should I ask for $300 instead?

Affirmative. (You'll need the extra money for tip, and also for any alcohol you'll be drinking)

With or without drinks?
$50 isn't bad for each person but if you get wine or some drinks it may not be enough.

If you skip appetizer and wine, $50/person should do it.

My ex and I went once with a $150 gift card. She got lobster, I got steak and we each had a couple of glasses of wine (and I think we split a dessert.) With what I would have normally left as a tip, there was about $0.70 left on the card so, obviously, I just left the whole amount.

Two of us don't drink and I think the other two want to hit the bars after dinner so there is a good chance they won't drink.

$200 will only be enough if you pass on the wine and appetizers. There is a GREAT chicken dish that was only $25... so that person would be able to afford an appetizer.

It's a great place, with mighty HOT food. I love that.

For the money, you're better off going to Chops. I've eaten at most of the high-end steak places in Atlanta and it's by far the best IMHO.

hey Fausto, ygpm.

I'd say 60 or 70 a person to be on the safe side, but most likely it will run 50-60

... and dessert.

I'd go in with more than $200. Or better yet, go someplace a bit cheaper. Ruth's Chris is WAY overrated, imho.

Well I'll take any suggestions around Atlanta in the $65/per and under range. Also, I've got to make the reservations for tomorrow night.:Q

Thanks for all the opinions/tips/help so far, keep'em coming.

I took my wife there on our anniversary. The bill came to $175 including tips and a bottle of chilled wine.
