Always a good experience at this Ruth Chris. As in the past, the service was outstanding, food was great, however my steak that was advertised as 8oz, was clealry not, and was evident based on comparison to other steak ordered. I did inquire with the waiter, but he assured me that it was very strongly. Since I was already filling up from the soup, and appitizers, I didn't argue. However, it may be awhile before I come back,
