    Beautiful meals…. Seafood Fettuccine & Sicilian Spaghetti were really lovely. Really nice staff too. A little noisy once restaurant was full. Had an enjoyable evening.

    Food was amazing, we had the Gnocci and Jesse's risotto....both were delicious. We don't usually get dessert but as the mains were so good we are glas we got the mousse and italian donuts. Again did not disappoint. So glad we had dinner here. Price was really good for what we got. Thanks Rubens team.

    We had a delicious lunch by the warmth of a lovely fireplace The service was friendly and attentive and the food was outstanding as always. My friend chose the house made gnocchi which he described as the best he’d ever had and I decided on the seafood chicken which was absolutely delicious! We even had dessert. Sticky date pudding to die for and tiramisu is back on the menu for winter and as delicious as ever. Thank you Rubens

    We had a beautiful dining experience at Ruben’s last night. I had the gnocchi and my daughter had the pesto spaghetti. Both dishes were absolutely delicious as was our halloumi salad and garlic bread. A really enjoyable dining experience, next to the warm fire and with attentive staff. Exceptional - thank you.

    We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Rubens where we graced with good service and good fortune to be seated by the fire on a cold and wet miserable day. A lovely experience that we can't wait to do again. Thanks Rubens.
