Steak
The first & only steakhouse of its kind in the Louisville area, Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse serves only dry-aged USDA prime beef. While steak is the foundation of the menu, Jeff Ruby's promises to please seafood lovers as well with its raw/sushi bar & seafood entrees.
Jeff Ruby regulars will be pleased to know that their favorite signature items from the Cincinnati restaurants will be well represented in Louisville. The bone-in filet, the 7 cheese baked macaroni, creamed spinach, truffle flake, & of course Jeff Ruby's secret recipe cheesecake are all staples of the Louisville menu.
Styled after the great NY steakhouses of the 1930s & '40s, Jeff Ruby's promises to be as pleasing visually as it is to the palate. French art-deco design, plush mohair upholstery, hand-selected antique furniture, and cinematic crystal chandeliers anchored by a 1950s-era antique are featured in the Starz series Magic City and the 32-foot wall of wine.

    First time eating dinner at Jeff Ruby’s, it’s absolutely stunning inside and great service. Josh and Ben did a wonderful job at serving us and very knowledgeable of the menu. I would recommend requesting Josh and Ben for table service. Josh walked us through the menu and provided menu recommendations! The lavender mocktail was delicious! 10/10 would go back! Thank you both Josh and Ben!

    Frequent flyer at Jeff Ruby’s for good reason, it’s always outstanding. This is my first time back since the renovation and it looks great. The addition of a waiting area was great call. We had the Ruby Roll, Freddie Salad, NY Strip, Bourbon Filet & Shrimp w/ Baked Potato. It’s crazy how much better the filet is at Ruby’s vs everywhere else in the city. Service was great & when we said we were too full for the big dessert portions, our server brought us a complimentary small slice of cheesecake which was excellent. 5 gold stars, 2 thumbs up, loved it as always.

    Prices are high but level of service and food is very good. Went for Anniversary dinner and it was really nice. At least 3 different people wished us happy anniversary. Our steaks were very good and has sushi has an appetizer. Will definitely go again but price makes it something I won’t do too often.

    I took my mother to Jeff Ruby's; it was her first time dining there. We were seated in the VIP room, and it was FABULOUS. I have been to the Jeff Ruby's in Louisville and Lexington, and each time has been wonderful. Last night far exceeded expectations, though. The service is always exceptional. The food is always exceptional. And the lavish decor and bougie ambiance makes you feel like a celebrity. Jeff Ruby's is perfect for any occasion. If you're looking for the best dinner spot ever, look no further.

    The food was amazing, the service was great-though he wished me happy birthday and it was not, in fact, my birthday-, but the ambience left a lot to be desired. While I love the 40s French-inspired decor as well as the beautiful velvet everywhere, the noice level was too much. I came for a romantic evening out with my husband, but my ADHD brain kept getting distracted by EVERYTHING-the music, the waiters, the loud talking, the clinging of glasses, the guests walking in and out. Overall it did not allow me to relax. Next time, I am asking to be set in a room other than the main dining area.

    Everything was wonderful. Our service was great. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. Our side dishes were wonderful. The crab cake was perfect. The tuna tartare was sad, a little stringy for lack of a better word. However I have had it before when it was perfection. Great ambiance as always! So nice to go somewhere for a quality experience

    Service and atmosphere were flawless as usual. Tuna tartar was excellent as were both of our salads. My steak New York Strip was excellent and prepared perfectly. He tuna sushi roll was frankly disappointing as it had a bit of a fishy taste to it. We didn't even finish the roll. All and all though, another wonderful experience at the best restaurant in Louisville.

    This was my first time dining at Jeff Ruby’s. The food was outstanding! I loved the ambience. Our waiter, Darrell, was a very good waiter. However, he did forget we had a birthday at our table; which is why we went to Jeff Ruby’s- to celebrate. I did not have the opportunity to tell him discreetly.
