First time going to this ruby’s. It was good and the service was quick. I would say I like the menu more at the west village location and I didn’t like they serve the spritz in a mug. Overall a good experience

Food was really good..we had pasta and two types of bowls plus Brussels sprouts. All were fresh and flavorful. Cocktails were delicious and different. And our waitress, who was also the hostess was super friendly and accommodating. We will be back.

Solid place for a meal. Ingredients are fresh and dishes are beautiful. Not worth waiting in a long line for, but good for a meal.

What is it about Australian-inspired food that's so satisfying? It's healthy, tasty, spirited. And Little Ruby's Cafe is a gem.

Our server, Dazne, was stellar! She recommended the most delicious off-menu cocktail called Golden Hour to compliment our work-lunch shenanigans. She was accommodating and had the best vibe. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Food was great, of course. We had a mix of entrees from a mid-day breakfast bowl (because if you didn’t know, the breakfast menu ends at 4pm!!!), Crispy Rice Bowl, Shrimp Pasta and a Chicken Burger. We ended it with Jalapeño margs and two desserts - Sticky Date Pudding and Banana Bread. An odd combo, I know. But Dazne wasn’t judging and neither should you! Whoops no pics but just trust me. We’ll be back for more “lunch meetings.”
