Am I steak person? Usually, no. My husband is. We've always just been keen on Ruth's Chris because it's a chain and it pretty much always tastes the same. We wanted something great for our anniversary.

We were promptly seated after valeting our car (there is no parking over there, don't even try). We got greeted at the table and asked if we wanted to start with drinks. I wasn't drinking at the time but my husband got an old fashioned which was pretty good.

Now, this is where it gets good. Apparently this restaurant has a certain kind of steak that is a delicacy. It is basically a marbled steak. I got the Ohmi Filet. The steak melted in the mouth. It was so good. I have went back and got the Wagyu but definitely prefer the Ohmi. My husband got the Snow Beef, which he now deems his favorite steak.

This is definitely not a place you order your steak well done, burnt to a crisp. Nor is it an Outback where you are gonna spend about $50 on your date out. You are paying for what you get and what you get is quite possibly the best steak in Seattle.

We went twice in about a week! Yes, expensive, but we're celebrating two occasions. Both times were amazing.
