I call that The Expense Account Archipelago -- a collection of restaurant/attraction brands that show up in major business travel destinations, either in the CBD or in the commercial astroid belts surrounding major office parks. Ruth's Chris is a prime offender, but so is Capital Grill, etc.

While I think the demand for such places remains pretty strong (or is recovering bigly after the pandemic), Ruth's and Capital are clearly ancient brands for older generations. The Millenials and Z's need different expense account attractions. Hence: Punch Bowl Social, etc.
