Ruth’s Chris Steak House - Midlothian
Ruth's Chris' Richmond outpost is especially popular with theatergoers. It's a short drive to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts as well as Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden and Byrd Theater.
The chain boasts locations all over the country and it's known best for USDA prime steaks--from a filet to Porterhouse for two prepared tableside--cooked at 500 degrees. Specialty entrees include Caribbean lobster tail, lobster mac and cheese, and lamb chops served with fresh mint.
While Ruth's Chris specializes in steaks, it cranks out one of the best-ever roast chicken entrees, which is stuffed with garlic herb cheese. The restaurant also commands an extensive and impressive wine menu.
