    Beautiful decor. Great service. Lighting too bright. Very good crab cakes, BUT, steak was tough, sides were hardly edible. Cream spinach was too much salt, cheese and butter and I like all that. Beans were undercooked and plates were cold. Eaten at the old location many times and this was very disappointing.

    We had a great dining experience. Thanks to our wonderful waiter Kris and the other staff. It was a true, five star dining, starting with drinks and appetizers, salad then our main meal and complementary dessert celebrating our anniversary. It was my husband‘s first time at Jeff Ruby’s, and he said will be sure and go back after the wonderful experience we had.

    The food was, of course, excellent! Our evening out was made special thanks to our server Tessa. She was kind, helpful, attentive, and over all, just wonderful! We do not go out often, but were able to enjoy a great evening out! Thanks for making my husband's birthday celebration special.

    Its a beautiful place to celebrate an anniversary; we’ve been to the Columbus one and now tried this one (I think I prefer Columbus if i’m being honest but it’s still gorgeous regardless). I was confused because we had two waiters and they’d both come by at different times and ask the same things or refill our waters (that were still really full) so we felt bombarded a bit but they were nice and polite otherwise.

    The food lived up to the very expectations. Service at the bar with Katrina and Rob at the table were first rate. I ended up being a solo diner and arrived early hoping to grab a table but understood the restaurant was full but could wait in the bar, or be seated outside. Not a problem, I was early! What I found us was when I was seated at my reservation time, I counted 9 empty tables in the dining room. Found that a little odd…anyway, I loved the fact they had a great live band in the bar! I was even more appreciative of sound level that still allowed for easy conversations to occur with a very friendly crowd.

    We dine on a regular basis at many Jeff Ruby’s restaurants. Last night we took a few friends and celebrated my birthday at the downtown Cincinnati OH location (our favorite). Brett is an OUTSTANDING member of the wait staff. The food, service and atmosphere was perfect! Thanks Brett for always going above and beyond every time we visit. We take having Jeff Ruby’s for granted, traveling and dining at many large cities often we have found Jeff Ruby’s to be so much better than other fine dining establishments.

    Bravo for Ryan who kept our water glasses full and conversation hopeful. The rest of the evening was a huge disappointment. We waited 20 minutes for anyone to come to our table (which was Reserved through the Open Table reservation). Our waitress was overly unattentive to us, but she sure enjoyed mingling with the guests waiting for tables to become available - hugs, laughs, loads of talking. In the end, we split a Freddie Salad which we had to ask for, ate some bread and walked out nearly two hours after being seated with NO entree ever delivered. The assistant manager tried to "make it right" and "comped" our non-existent meal. Lol. By this time we were very disgusted and frankly had no desire to eat. (We split a banana when we got home around 930p). That said, very disappointing given the courtesy shown to us for our first anniversay when Jeff Ruby himself took our month old infant for 45 minutes while we enjoyed a dinner at the Waterfront. Something that we shared with Brittany Ruby Miller and her best friend (and Jeff via Facetime) recently at a not-for-profit fund raiser. All the best. Hope things improve! Your dinners are ordinarily incredible.

For desert i got the kiss from a rose and angelica made the presentation very special! She took extremely good care of us and i look forward to seeing her again!
