I thought Ruth's Chris had better steak, but the overall meal was better at Morton's. I personally can't ever justify a meal that expensive, but I'm with my dad and he's the one who wanted to go.
I should also note that it's restaurant week in DC, so there's a full three course (appetizer, main, dessert) meal for a cheap price.
Ruth's Chris steak is pretty amazing, though. They serve it on a 500 degree plate, sizzling in butter. It melts in your mouth. Morton's was a tad more chewy to me. Morton's was also more expensive.
Oh, and RC was a choice of 12 or 16 oz while Morton's was only 6

I got a crab cake with mine and that was pineappleing delicious.
