I was pleasantly impressed with both food and service on a recent dinner outing to Ruby Tuesday.  The chain had provided me with a \""25% off entire bill\"" online coupon, so I decided to use it.  This saved me over $12.\n\nWe began with Asian Dumplings as an appetizer.  These chicken-filled potstickers were described as steamed but were actually pan fried, which I prefer.  Covered in black sesame seeds, they were cooked just right, very tasty, and comparable to T.G.I. Friday's potstickers, which I also happen to like.  However, instead of being accompanied by a Szechwan Dipping Sauce, these potstickers were served with a slightly spicy but smooth and tasty Peanut Sauce.  Only a little sauce was smeared on the platter, so I asked for and received an ample supply of additional Peanut Sauce.\n\nOur fine beginning was followed by a trip to the Garden Salad Bar, just $2.99 for unlimited salad bar visits added to the cost of an entree.  The salad bar was all I hoped it to be, with good red tomatoes, hot red onions, yummy egg, fine homemade skin-on potato salad, and a wide variety of ingredients and available dressings.  The only missing item I would have liked to have seen was garbanzo beans.  \n\nThe only disappointment of the night was the Chicken Harvest Soup.  This unusual looking soup consisting of reddish pieces of chicken, carrot bits, peas, and pasta, and served in a rectangular dish, was not very hot, and both its flat and spiral noodles were mushy and clearly overcooked.  The soup still had a good tomatoey flavor though.\n\nThe Seafood Festival is on, and my Shellfish Trio exceeded expectations.  For its diminutive size, the broiled Lobster Tail was one of the best I have tasted.  The Jumbo Lump Crab Cake was also quite tasty, and so were the three grilled Shrimps, except they were more medium to large than jumbo-sized as billed, and one was a bit undercooked.  The Garlic Scampi Butter enhanced the taste of all of these crustaceans.  The sliced tomatoes I ordered as a side were good but I discovered that I did not really like them covered with Vinaigrette Dressing.  A second side of Cheddar Mashed Potatoes, made with White Cheddar Cheese, was creamy and very filling.  Tasty, too!\n\nAn excellent Double Chocolate Cake with a molten center, mixed with Vanilla Ice cream, and shared with Diane, was a fitting end to a fine meal.
