Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Elizabeth

I celebrated my 60th birthday at Jeff Ruby's in Louisville, KY , and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! Every aspect of the evening was exceptional, beginning with the warm and elegant ambiance that set the tone for a truly special celebration. The meal itself was nothing short of perfection. Each dish, from the salad to dessert, was crafted with impeccable attention to detail. My steak was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, while the sides were equally outstanding—every bite felt like a celebration in its own right. The dessert, which capped off the evening, was a masterpiece, both in taste and presentation. A huge shoutout to our server, Darrell, who was the epitome of professionalism and charm. His suggestions were spot on and added so much to our dining experience. From wine pairings to menu recommendations, he guided us with confidence and enthusiasm, ensuring that every choice we made was a winner. His warmth and attentiveness made us feel truly valued, turning an already great evening into something extraordinary.

This was the second time we’ve eaten at GRS and it was PHENOMENAL. The salted bread and creamy butter started us off deliciously; the lobster risotto was absolutely to-die-for; the Wellington was perfectly juicy and tender; and the moscato was divine. Megan and Ashley were great servers and the hosts were so kind to give me a rose and card for my birthday. Amazing experience!

Great restaurant, snapper with lobster beurre blanc was out of the world. Service exceptional as always.

Omigosh. This place was DELICIOUS. It was our first time, certainly won't be our last. First, the bread is FIRE. We loved the guava butter. We shared the chicken empanadas, which were very tasty and had a lot of filling. Husband and I both had the picanha steak, which was cooked perfectly, very tender and so flavorful. The black beans were literally the best I ever had. Our son has a Cubano, which was huge and had a lot of meat. I wanted dessert, but no room. Someday, though.

The food and service was fantastic as always. It is always very busy in the restaurant but the servers are always attentive and quick to fulfill any requests.
