     I had been dreaming of the Caramelized Orange Bourbon Salmon since I had it on a previous night.  I requested mine medium rare, and it was perfection!!! And the cream cheese grits were heavenly!! My friend got the exact same thing since I had been talking about it, and he absolutely loved his too. We had the bread pudding for dessert, and although it was a little dry, it was still amazing. I thought about it later, and pouring the ice cream on top would have made it magical. Wonderful service, beautiful atmosphere, and although it was pretty loud, the music really made the perfect setting for a date night. It was a good excuse to sit side by side.

    Great customer service. Delicious food. The pork chop was so tender it could be cut with a butter knife. Chef created a vegan option for our party as well. Everyone working there was welcoming and engaging. We will be back and will recommend to friends.

    Not sure where to start, but the overall experience was absolutely outstanding. It was our 25 year anniversary and they had flowers for us on the table, the service was far more than expected and of course the food was amazing. Not sure the name of our waiter but he deserves an award! Overall the experience exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend Jeff Ruby's. I cannot express enough our sincere gratitude for the service we received. Thank you so much!

    Fast is an understatement. From an appetizer, to entree was 11 minutes. Service was the same, I do not think my water glass ever got below half. Quality food, great portions, perfect temperature.
