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.

    My wife and I had dinner with two of our young adult grandchildren who are college graduates and employed. The meal started with charbroiled oysters that were delicious. Entrees included Tuna, Veal, steak and eggplant dishes. The service was excellent and the food was very good. Not our first time here and we’ll be back soon.

    Ruffino’s was delicious from the bread , appetizer, entree’, and dessert. I am not a cotton candy fan so we declined on that. Also the braised pork cheeks were a first try and they were really tender and tasty. Definitely get them a try.

    Very pleasant evening out. Lamb chops were a special and were very good. Nice menu addition. Skin-on trout with raspberry reduction was great. Need some changes to the calamari. Not much taste. Batter fries up hard.

    Everything was great except they did nothing for my husband's birthday which they normally do. Four people asked us if we were celebrating anything and we told them what we were celebrating but nothing happened. When I left, I asked if they still recognize special events and they said yes. She said were you celebrating anything, I said yes, my husband's birthday. Her reply was we didn't know. I let her know, 4 staff asked and we told them. Not sure, how many need to be notified for it to actually happen. Other than that, it was fine.

    We would like to invite you back in to dine with us when you are in town next. I will make a note on your guest profile and we will take care of you and a guest on your next visit.

    As always Ruffino's did not disappoint! It has been several years since we have been able to make it over to Ruffinos's for dinner since we moved out of town but it was well worth the drive! The steak was the best that I have had in a while and the Veal Michael was perfect. You can't forget the crab cheesecake! This place is definitely worth checking out if you've never been.
