    I love going to Jeff Ruby’s and I always love having Shelby as my waitress! She helped me with both wine and food recommendations and was quick to get our items to the table. We split a shrimp cocktail, the godfather roll, and the Goshiki roll with a side of mushrooms. All were incredibly delicious!

    Having dined at Sotto multiple times over the course of the last 8 years, the quality and service is always top notch every time. The staples of short rib pasta, pork loin, and ricotta donuts is just the best meal in the city!

    We were late for our reservation, so I called to apologize. They were so gracious and accommodating. The gentleman on the phone said come on in and if we cannot get you a table we will save you seats at the bar, he assured me the bar was very comfortable. We want and he apologized there were no tables but had a set up at the bar ready. Very nice to be treated with kindness.
