Steakhouses are abundant in Nashville, but Ruth's Chris is one of the few where you won't feel out of place a little dolled up. It's always filled with music execs on business dinners thanks to the low lighting and masculine, dark wood. The a la carte menu adds up quickly, but professional and knowledgeable service is worth the price of admission. Quiet corners are perfect for diners on a romantic date, so just uncork a bottle of merlot and dig into a porterhouse for two.
