Haven't been in years but I still remember loving their filet. In fact, I would just follow Gabbyfan here.Nobody does the filet better than Ruth’s. Don’t touch the plate because its sizzling hot. Ask for sautéed spinach and add your favorite type of potato. House cab is fine
Depends on the sauce(if any) and the veggies on the plate. Asparagus is not a wine-friendly veggie --as an example.You can't really go wrong with any steak. Go classic with creamed spinach as a side.
On the wine, Cabs pair well with any well marbled cut due to tannins, but if you're going filet, you might want to consider a Malbec.
New York strip rareI will be going this weekend for the first time. Anyone have any recommendations?

Could see Malbec with mushrooms
At the risk of sounding stuffy and derailing the thread, my thought process is that filet is a leaner cut while also being less "beefy" tasting. A big cab from one of the iconic CA producers could easily overwhelm it. But, see the post immediately above this one as the Malbecs offered at Ruth's are OK but nothing to write home about. And you could buy them at Total Wine for $25 or less.Why?
