    This restaurant is hands down one of the best! The customer service all the way around is amazing. Our main server Kris was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and helped us pick the right appetizers, entrees and dessert for our individual want and taste. He was such a delight and joy to have for the evening. Also, Yasir who was helping with our table was great too! We traveled from Indianapolis to this Cincinnati location and it was worth the trip! Thanks Jeff Ruby for a fabulous experience!

    I have always lived the Jeff Ruby restaurants & was excited to go to the new one on Bine, in Cincinnati. The restaurant is beautiful, the steaks were very good, the sides with the exception of the soy, ginger sesame seed green beans were very good. The green beans should have never left the kitchen! Service was very good, but slow, after entrees were served. Not expected at this HIGH end restaurant. Waited for water, waited for coffee, it was busy, it it was Thursday. I have no problem paying for a high end meal, but I expect high end quality & service & it just wasn’t there! Things just aren’t the same as they were! Not saying I won’t go ba k, but it will be a long time. Too many other fine restaurants to choose from!

    Everything was great we love Jeff Ruby’s. The only feedback is that we had three peace of cake to go. Cheese cake, Chocolate cake and Carrot cake. The Cheese cake and chocolate cake weren’t that tasty and and Carrot cake we gave to my father in law. I remember the Cheese cake was always really good but maybe they changed it. Anyway, other than that everything was awesome.

    If you want to feel special and have an amazing dinner in Cincinnati’s “be seen” spot…look no further. Amazing ambience (think Club 54 and vintage supper club), SUPERIOR service and excellent food. The whole package. Quality and experience like this doesn’t come inexpensively but you’ll be glad you did it. The crab cake was all crab! No filler here. Delicious lump crab sautéed to a golden brown with amazing remoulade. My husband had the barrel cut filet. Said it was top notch. Portion sizes are generous and sides are definitely sharable. Try the Brussels sprouts and mac & chz. The Butter Cake was amazing!

    Food is always amazing! Ambiance is like no other. Service is impeccable. I was disappointed in the lack of cleanliness in the women’s bathroom(compared to the other Ruby restaurants) Broken/non working faucets. Broken toilet/ non functioning, dirty/used band aids laying everywhere. Complimentary mouthwash, hygiene area, very dirty and in such a disarray. For this being a “newer” establishment, I was disappointed. Hopefully things will shape up, this will not deter us from dining there again.

    Although we made the reservation for our anniversary six months in advance we were seated right by the door. Tables were very close together and it was loud. They took my favorite sea bass off the menu as well as the cauliflower. The Brussels sprouts and green beans were good but very greasy. I tried a different fish which was bland and disappointing. The ambiance of the previous location was better and more intimate. Now it’s like a big dining hall with chandeliers.

    Our reservation came at the perfect time, coinciding with wonderful news in our lives. We knew the food would be outstanding, but what set tonight apart was the absolute genuine happiness and excitement we received from Michael, Jordan, and everyone else who stopped by to check on us and asked if we were out celebrating. There is the happiness that one is expected to show when people share their news…and then there is the true, authentic, and unmistakable excitement and happiness that someone has chosen to share their joy with you. And that is exactly what we got from every employee we spoke with tonight. It simply made an already wonderful day absolutely perfect. We can’t thank you all enough, and we look forward to coming back as soon as we can!

I think Angelica was amazing and she gave us top notch service! This is the first time in the new location and we will definitely be back.
