    This was my 2nd time here. The first time I went with a group of girlfriends and we were blown out of the water. The second time I just had to bring my husband so we could experience it together ans it even better then my memory served me. It's very rare that food lives up to the memory you had and also the hope you give it. My husband was beyond just pleasantly surprised even at one point he threw his utensil down in approval but only after his eyes rolled back in his head. Thank you for the great service, mind blowing flavors and living up to what I had already had built up in my memory and more!!!

    As always,the food was excellent although our charcuterie board seemed to be a bit underwhelming. Our server was attentive and cordial and checked up on us to make sure if we needed anything. Love the ambience here and the live music was exceptional. I have another reservation for New Years Eve and am looking forward to our next visit.

    We went out for my husband's birthday and it was our first time ever going to jeff ruby's. I'm telling you it was amazing. The staff was on point and friendly. Our waiter Johnathan was amazing. He walked us through the menu, continuously checked on us, and gave his honest opinions on the menu items. We had the Japanese A5 filet, and I'm telling you, u won't regret it. It's the best melt in your mouth steak we ever had. Thank you all for making our night memorable!
