    There are many high quality premium steak houses in Columbus and I have experienced all of them. But...Jeff Ruby's stand out above the rest in every important category. They are simply the best in food quality, variety, atmosphere, and people. You will not be disappointed. I have entertained clients for many years and I will always choose a Jeff Ruby Restaurant if one is available.

    First time but it won’t be our last. First impression - the ambience. Lively bar and gorgeous interior. Our server, Michael was friendly, informative and professional. He made a few recommendations and they were all spot on. If you like LemonDrops - it was one of the best I’ve ever had. We all loved our entrees- NY strip, salmon and filet and the sides. The pork belly appetizer was excellent too.

    Experience wasn't as good as in the past. The steaks we both had were a lot more fatty and not as enjoyable. Guess we just expect a lot at this price point. Service however was the best anywhere as always.

    I took my wife for our 17 year anniversary and the crew were amazing. The asparagus was burnt and they said that's how they serve it, but they took it off my bill. however, it was a perfect evening. The next day I planned on bringing a group of 6-8 people back in July.

    My wife chose Jeff Ruby’s for my 40th birthday dinner. This was our first time eating here. Our experience was outstanding from the moment we arrived. Our server, Jordan, was professional, personable, attentive, knowledgeable, and cared about our experience. We started our experience with the shrimp and King crab from the raw bar. The shrimp was cooked perfect and served on ice. The cocktail sauce was perfectly balanced and the crab, was excellent. They have a great variety on their sushi/sashimi menus and they’re executed at a very high level. I ordered the godfather roll and it exceeded my expectations. My wife ordered the NY strip. The steak was well marbled, juicy, and cooked exactly as she had asked for it. I ordered the 70 day dry aged Cowboy steak, bone in 22oz ribeye. The length of the dry aging process for my steak gave it a slight funk. Incredible quality and It was exceptional. Both steaks were seasoned well and charred properly. The lobster Mac n cheese had a beautiful crust of cheese on top and was delicious. Dessert was delicious and scratch made. I had the butter pie with homemade ice cream and my wife had the chocolate cake. We will be back, soon. Thank you for providing us with such an amazing experience for my 40th. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    First time in 20 years of going here that I have to complain about the food. The salmon was dry and over cooked - we didn’t finish it which is not like us. The drunken Wagyu was horrible and I’m a huge fan of a Wagyu treat now and again. 4 Oz of meat, 4 but size pieces, $120. No problem with that. But literally two pieces were 100% fat. The other two pieces were about 75% fat and 25% meat. Lesson learned not to get that again at JR’s. The banana bread pudding was also super dry. Bummer of a meal.

    Jeff Ruby’s continues to be the best in the business with service and plates! The Columbus location shows the commitment Jeff Ruby and team have to provide a stellar dining experience. Our server Michael was wonderful and attentive. The GM (I think) was a gentleman and checked in with us periodically. A blessing to enjoy such a place. The 70-day Dry aged ribeye and petite filet perfect.

    Note to managers; you need to do a much better job stocking - in addition to 1 bourbon, 1 Grand Cru Chablis, 1 Northern Rhône which we ordered and you didn’t have… you even ran out of Far Niente Dolce dessert wine. Get it together, you don’t have that deep a wine list to be missing this much. As for dinner - great. Crab legs oysters and toro to start were great. Meat board with a Porterhouse and Wagyu cuts was solid.
