Have not been to the Knoxville Ruth's Chris, but went to one in Seattle and it was great. But also not cheap.

That's our birthday dinner every year

Just spoiled. Having been to Italy, knowing some Italians and living within walking distance from a real Italian restaurant, Olive Garden just doesn’t do it
