    Two entrees were returned to the kitchen for being improperly prepared - one filet mignon was charred while another entree was prepared with bacon so the pork sensitivity was overlooked. Moreover, all of the cooked meats were heavily overly seasoned. Lastly, a tequila and soda was made with tequila and tonic water, yuck. The establishment seemed understaffed and while the manager aimed to please, having to wait 20 minutes for two entrees to be corrected was just too long to wait so my guests took their entrees to go. Candidly, the bill should have been adjusted to reflect the inconvenience; there was no adjustment.

    As expected from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Eating in the Old State House, while looking at the cemetery where Sam Adams was buried was priceless!
