About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions

Ruffino's -Steak-Seafood-Italian restaurant is an experience in food and atmosphere like no others. From the time you walk in and see the wood-burning stove aflame to the beautiful smiles on every Ruffino's team member's face, you will have goosebumps on the back of your neck for the dining journey that awaits you. From our wonderful signature Crabmeat Cheesecake appetizer to our mind blowing Cedar Plank-baked Catch or our mouth watering Prime cut steaks, the menu is diverse for everyone.

    Service was not as good as it has been in the past. Nothing bad, just not up to Ruffino’s standards.

    The Restaurant Week menu was SCRUMPTIOUS! We had the crawfish egg rolls and teriyaki beef skewers. The beef was cooked to perfection! The stuffed redfish was superb!

    The ambience, atmosphere and food was awesome as usual! To top my dinner off, was to see Mrs. Frances Swaggert who sat at the table next to me. I was able to share my condolences to her in person. What a delight!

    Great dishes have been taken off the menu due to new chef weekly specials per what waitstaff advised. Unfortunately, 4 dishes that our party would regularly get for past several years are no longer available. Wish those regular menu items would be available still.
