But toward the end of dinner, it really started getting loud. We were seated at 5pm and left by 7pm to catch first pitch-just a block away from the ballpark. Have to agree with you guys Morton's in Houston is loudest place ever with poor quality steaks too.


I'm in Houston every month, but have never been to the R/C in Houston.

IMO Ruth's wine list is limited selections, and the Bordeaux they carry are in the less than stellar years. Its been over a year since i've been there-hopefully things have changed.

We always bring wine to Ruth's Chris.


Just one more sip.

My top ones with bad lists and / or overpriced:
1] Capital Grill
2] 3 Forks
3] Mortons
4] Ruth Chris
5] Flemings

Why can't these chains get it right?

Most people that dine at those places are on expense accounts and don’t know or don’t care about the high mark ups.

I am not on an expense account, and would most assuredly like to partake a good meal, with nice wine, as part of our normal live entertainment budget.

The top four of these are all here in a snow bird area of Florida, yet there are those like use that live here all year. A passable dinner for 2 runs over $ 200. Yuck

Was at Mortons in West Palm Beach last night, and while many of the wines were overpriced, there were a few wines that seemed like decent values. 2003 Beringer private reserve cab for $80 a bottle.

They had 03 Grange for $257 a bottle.

We brought two bottles in and they waived the corkage fee.
