   Our server was very nice, kind, and attentive throughout our whole dinner. Recommend the artichokes as an appetizer. It comes with a red pepper sauce along with a chili crisp. Also got lobster and steak which comes with a delicious Cajun creole crawfish sauce. As far as sides, can’t go wrong with the mac and cheese!

   We had a wonderful dinner, bringing our kids and my parents for the first time. My son declared it the best restaurant ever, and also said we had the best waiter ever! Joe was a delight! Humorous, witty, knowledgeable, and professional! What a treat! We can’t wait to come back!

   We had a delicious meal and a wonderful time celebrating our son's graduation last night at Carlo and Johnny. The steaks were cooked to perfection and Paul (our waiter) and his team of servers made sure that we were well taken care of. The prices are high but the experience was excellent and we look forward to returning. The only note I would make is that the salads were served with a robust amount of dressing, so if you like less dressing on your salad, be sure to order the dressing on the side.

    Long time fan of the Ruby restaurants. For me, it is frequently the standard to which I compare other restaurants. Unfortunately from check in by nonchalant hostess to inattentive and slow service staff on this occasion the service was miserable; definitely left me with buyer’s remorse after $1000.00 evening at dinner. Assume an off night but will plan carefully our next dining experience. Although the food was great as always, experience left me disappointed.

    We’ve been to Jeff Ruby’s Precinct on several occasions. This was our first time at Carlo & Johnny which has, by far, the longest reservation wait. You need to reserve a good 6-8 weeks out to get the weekend at a good time. I didn’t plan well and our anniversary was fast approaching, which was on a Friday. I kept checking back to see if anything opened up and by good luck, I got 8:15pm on the patio. Some people will say the food is why you go to Jeff Ruby. I have to say, I can get a really good steak at other premium restaurants. Premium being the key; don’t think you can get this quality steak just anywhere. But what really sells it for me at Jeff Ruby is the service. Jeff Ruby knows how to make dinner an experience with perfect timing throughout the entire night; from the first drink order, to the delivery of the bread, to the delivery of the appetizers and/or salads. Then just the right amount of time to settle your food a bit and to chat before the presentation of the main course. All the while the wait staff is so attentive with suggestions and an outward thoughtfulness of your experience. Being our anniversary, we ended with a complimentary assortment of desserts, all of which were incredible and worth the visit on their own. Now, no good review can be had without a suggestion for improvement. On the patio we were seated at a 4 seat high top table. There were 3 other similar tables as well as an 8 seat high top, a 5 seat low top and an 8 seat low top. The high tops seamed out of place, and the chairs of the high top quite uncomfortable, so much so that I remarked to my wife and shifted in my seat most of the dinner. My opinion, ditch the high tops (save them for the bar area). Only being able to observe the low top tables and seats, they seamed they would’ve been extremely more comfortable. So yes, go to Jeff Ruby’s for the food; it is amazing. But come back for the service; that’s truly unforgettable.

    Really off their game tonight. Service was surprisingly inattentive; multiple drinks/food courses needed to be remade as initial requests weren't followed through with. Still a lovely evening, but our entire group was surprised at how many times there were basic misses. Haven't had an evening like that in one of the Jeff Ruby restaurants ever.

    What an amazing experience from entering the door and beyond. They have 2 servers per table to make sure everyone is well taken care of. Both Cam and Mike were amazingly attentive, you can really tell the love their jobs and taking care of people.

    Carlo & Johnny is our go-to spot for both business meals as well as dinners with family or date night with my wife. We have lived all over the world and Carlo & Johnny is our preference over all the other Ruby establishments. The management, staff, and meals are always top-notch! We always appreciate Adrian and Greg and their vast knowledge of selections and superior service, as well as the dedication from the servers’ assistants. Thank you for a wonderful time!

    We’ve always had great experiences here so we took our family to celebrate our son’s graduation. The food was not good this time. 2 of the steaks were so incredibly undercooked that my son felt sick after he ate it. Service was just ok- not great. It’s unfortunate that we spent so much money and were so excited to celebrate my son and had a bad experience. Very disappointed.

    Ok, we had a bad experience. Unfortunately this makes two of the last three times we've gone this year. We ordered the sea bass special and the New York strip along with some sides and such. Ordered medium, the steak came out rare. They took the steak back, cooked it more to meet the temp. This causes the steak to dry out because it's been cut into. Texas Roadhouse doesn't bring back the same steak if not cooked properly, lol. The steak was also very tough. My steak knife had to work to get through it. They comped the steak and some desert which helped, but we left hungry. The manager didn't bother coming out to apologize either. They aren't meeting our expectations any longer.

    Food was amazing . We always have a great time at Jeff ruby’s locations. Our server happened to be very in-attentive which made trying to get a drink or order an appetizer frustrating but overall our meal was fantastic
