Ruth's Chris Steakhouse Function

Menu for the Night:  Starter Salad, Petit Filet, Sides (sautéed mushrooms, asparagus, mashed potatoes), and New Orleans Style Cheesecake with Blueberry Sauce

I went to this Ruth's in Mississauga for a function and I was pleasantly surprised how tender this cut of corn-fed Midwestern beef was, given the amount of people that they had to serve.  We had sixty guests in our room but they were hosting other professional groups equally as large. Great quality control... my steak was medium-rare as requested. The steak and sautéed mushrooms were swimming in butter... which can turn off some, but I shamelessly condoned. The cheesecake was the star of the evening. It had a light and airy texture with a crispy crust. A more than ample serving of blueberry sauce and a few mint leaves were the finishing touches on this lovely dessert!

Starving for Real!

B. Benny with Beans

I went back to Starving Artist (Starving4Waffle) on a Sunday for brunch because I was so impressed with their potato waffles my last visit. Not quite a latka, the potato waffles are made in a waffle maker which creates a thin crispy crust and a fleshy interior. Ingenious!  My last visit, I also had perfectly poached eggs with runny yolks and a devilishly good Hollandaise glaze. 

So there was no mistake that I would order the B. Benny which marries both of those elements together!

Unfortunately this visit was horrendous in terms of service!  Granted we were a large group of 10 and they usually are packed on the weekends, but it should not have taken an hour to get our food. At the very least, give us an update if you are running behind. There was no apology!  As expected, my eggs were overcooked. Go on a weekday if you still want to try them and and remain unscathed from this review!
