    The Freddie salad and beef short rib were both excellent and are highly recommended. The petite filet was cooked to perfection, but was way over salted, which should never happen with a $62 steak. Could be a one time occurrence, but if not, then their steak seasoning needs to be reevaluated.

    Having lived in Louisville and currently in Cincinnati, we are extremely familiar with all Jeff Ruby restaurants and the outstanding service provided. While in Lexington, Kentucky, we chose to celebrate my birthday at the Jeff Ruby’s Lexington. First, the food was fantastic as at all Ruby locations. The problem we had at the Lexington location was all service related. We were seated for dinner at our reservation time and waited 15 minutes before our waiter came by our table. No real interaction although he did acknowledged my birthday. Beyond that we never really saw our waiter. Had a question about a bottle of wine and he had no knowledge and no sommelier. Ordered a bottle of Barolo and it never arrived until our main course was served. Speaking of which, our main courses were not delivered by our waiter but simply dropped at our table - waiter never stopped by our table to check with us on our meal until we were almost done with dinner. I have never eaten at any Jeff Ruby restaurant, including The Precinct and Carlo & Johnny, and been disregarded by our waiter, helpers and managers. That is part of the Jeff Ruby experience and we felt ignored - no one ever asked to refill our wine glasses, if our food was good, or seemed to care. Next time we are Lexington, Ruby’s will not be our choice - especially for any special occasion we might be celebrating.

    Dinner with family on a Saturday evening. Reservations were easy through Open Table a month in advance. Jeff Ruby’s is known as an upscale place to dine and the Lexington KY location does not disappoint with the beautiful decor, attentive customer service and of course, the food. Our server was nice, but I was a little annoyed he was not as professional as I expected. Eye rolling about the multiple food sourcing and selection while briefing us on the menu seemed inappropriate. He also made small talk about his children being from different mothers, which is really odd and uncomfortable. Otherwise everything was cooked to perfection without any issues.

    My first time in KY I have enjoyed Jeff Ruby’s in Nashville. So this was very much the same experience. Steaks were amazing and sides fantastic. Had a 5:45 reservation and don’t get seated until 6:15 and bar was full. Other than that our experience was great. We will return again. Thank you.

    I previously rated my experience as poor mostly based on the indifferent service we received during our entire experience starting at the hostess stand. Management personally called and emailed in response to my rating, and thoroughly discussed with me where I felt the restaurant had fallen below its high standards that night. I updated my rating on service to 5 stars due to management going above & beyond to reach out and food to 3. My filet was just ok at $80+, our salad was drenched in dressing beyond what we could eat, we ordered a second 1/2 dozen Sassy Oysters (amazing) that never came to the table - and little to know attention from our main server. We were mainly attended by a server in training. He was sweet, but definitely should not have been left to attend our table on his own. It’s a beautiful restaurant and I will give it another chance. Much thanks to management for reaching out… very classy of you!

    We love Ruby's for special occasions and those moments when you wanna feel bougie and fancy! As soon as you walk in your struck with the over the top fabulousness and glitz of the place as the waiting lobby echoes a "great expectations" vibe. We dined in the red room with it's absolutely breathtaking chandelier and opulent red decor. Our serving team of Tom and Christian were up to task and did a splendid job of waiting on our every whim!

    Nice place to get a great steak! They also offer a really fair priced kids menu. The waiter knocked my husbands drink on him - big whoops- the waiter also served me from across the table. I'm not sure if the table was too tight to the wall or why I couldn't be served from the left, but it made for some awkward moments. The steaks were all delicious and the Brussel sprouts amazing! The shrimp with the bourbon steak and grits was just okay- it neither complimented the dish nor distracted from it, both my husband and I were underwhelmed. When you pay that much for a meal, each component is important. The wait to be seated at the opening time was awkward for those waiting. It was slow going and the staff T the front of the house seemed confused at times. As we all bunched up waiting to be seated we were not offered a seat at the bar or any thing other than we will open in 2 minutes. We did wait an additional 15 minutes to be seated, there was a group of people in jeans and untucked flannels who had been drinking and came in loud and bumping into those waiting in n the entrance are, this was a very negative experience. Not the fault of Jeff Ruby for their behavior- but because we were all bunched up, we had to experience the nightmare of the 8-10 drunks. This location wasn't as nice as my experience in Columbus or Louisville locations.
