Already a winner!! Love- We came here for my Bday again, and ordered delicious food again, and of course we had the best time ever ~ again! Great service, and this time we ate downstairs which was new for us, but still a great experience.

This place is great! Came in on a Wednesday night to celebrate my daughter's birthday and her graduating with a Masters in Education. The ambiance is that of an old timed steak house, dark and ornate. Music was outstanding, with a mix of Sinatra, big band and jazz. Started with the Espresso martini and smoke old fashioned. Both were very good. I've seen smoked drinks with a better presentation, but the smell was there and the drink was tasty. Ordered a Jordan Cab to go with dinner that was a bit flat, but not bad enough for me to complain. Moved on to the French Onion Soup and tried some sushi. Had the Buckeye roll which was delicious, though the wasabi didn't set my hair on fire. Believe it or not, Kroger has better wasabi with their $5 sushi's! But that's not enough to bring me down either. We had the filet and the Delmonico boneless ribeye. My lord, the steaks were fantastic. So much so, I asked what the seasoning was on the ribeye and was told a proprietary blend of salt, paprika and spices, which they also sell. Got a tin of it that will last me a year! The filet was also very good and came with a bacon jam, that was more like a pork belly jam, which again was crazy good. As good as the meals was the desert. Got a piece of birthday butter pie. This thing just melted in your mouth! No idea how it was made or what was in it, and don't want to know. It is for a special occasion and anytime I can make it to Jeff Ruby's is a special occasion! I believe they started in Cincinnatti and I'm looking forward to a trip there this winter.

Enjoyed a special evening with family and friends Saturday evening. Love the staff at Jeff Ruby's. The food is excellent. Waiting for the restaurant leadership to recognize gluten-free customers with a wider range of offerings, including gluten-free bread to go with wonderful butter options. Surprised the Ruby's have not kept up with Cameron Mitchell in the gluten-free space.

The atmosphere is what the 1920's must have been at the height of decadence and indulgence. One almost expects to see a flapper in a shiny dress, wearing a bandeau, while smoking a cigarette on a long holder around each corner. Beautiful, luxurious decor. Getting back to why one would actually come here...the food. The server was very polite, but not knowledgeable. She said she "know[s] the fish is flown in weekly, but not sure which day of the week" for the sushi dishes. When we asked to speak with the sommelier, she said she could "maybe" find someone to answer questions about the champagne and wine. Then, they did not have the champagnes on their list. Their wine list is good, but one should not get one's heart set on a particular one because it may or may not be on the list. Have backup choices for the wines and champagnes. The bread service is sour dough and rye bread. The French onion soup was very salty, arrived slightly warm (not piping hot), and had an overwhelming taste of thyme. If it were less salty, had less thyme, and hotter, it would have been wonderful. The serving size is perfect, the cheese mild, and the broth was rich. The Brussel sprouts were amazing. The steak was slightly overcooked, but very flavorful. The Bearnaise sauce and horseradish cream accompanying the steak were very nice. The Mac-n- cheese is good, not great. The mashed potatoes were wonderful. Overall, great celebration dinner spot or date night spot. Beautiful setting. A few improvements and it would be a definite five!

We had a great experience! Jordan, our server, was amazinggg. He was right on time with everything, had good recommendations, and anticipated all of our needs. We had our toddler with us and the staff was very accommodating. They even brought out a cut up banana from the kitchen just for him to snack on. The restaurant itself is gorgeous inside. My favorites of the night were the Godfather Sushi roll , the crab cake, and the butter pie (melts in your mouth). Everything from beginning to end was delightful. (Not pictured, but we also had the thick cut bacon, carrot cake and limoncello tiramisu)

Went last night for a little celebration and were very happy! The vibes and ambiance of this steakhouse is amazing! We each got a steak cooked well with Brussels sprouts (yum), bread, mashed potatoes (incredible)! We also got an old fashion and a cocktail called its Brittany spritz we loved both! We left very full and had the sweetest server ever! Her name was Chloe! At the end of our meal we got a cheesecake to go and wow yum!!!!! So good!! We also tried the steak toppers, we got a bourbon peppercorn which wasn't what I expected, it tasted like a brown gravy. Then got the herb and butter sauce, it was good but unnecessary because the steaks are cooked in butter and that flavor comes through well without it. They definitely live up to there name! Did it change my life? No? But glad we tried it! Everything was cooked well and we were stuffed!

I wanted to celebrate my special occasion with friends and Jeff Ruby's don't disappoint. I usually done there with a reservation but this was the first time I hosted a private event. Chip the sales manager was great and met all my needs and made planning seamless. A class act, great service and great food. Steak cooked to perfection, sides were delicious, couldn't ask for more!

The parking was not at all easy for this location, especially being downtown. The vibes inside were old, dingy and found it odd to be sitting in the basement of a steakhouse. I think this place is meant for the perfect customer. My drinks were amazing..awesome work to the bartenders!!!!!!!! The sushi appetizer was great..so fresh!! The tuna is delivered by the best! I had Japanese Wagyu New York Strip and OMG!!! I was not ok..it was so good. I will be back for that for sure. It is worth all the $$. I recommend this place no doubt. Complete celebratory, intimate date night vibes.
