    Excellent service. And even though the restaurant is under construction, they did a wonderful job of creating a space that is warm, welcoming, and relaxing. Service was also excellent. Anthony was so attentive and encouraged us to slow down and enjoy our evening.

    They had moved the ruinas del Mar to where the palm restaurant. They are redoing the floors at the original site. The aviance is not the same, where you usually sitting around a pond of koi fish. The service is still outstanding and the food was very good also.

    The LINGUINI FRUTTI DI MARE was Boston North End Italian worthy. Service was excellent. Other Entrees good but the standout was the Linguini. I would definitely come again.

    This was our favorite place. The staff was wonderful. Our server, Edna, was very attentive. She helped when we were undecided. The food and wine were fabulous. The seafood salad and RUINAS SALAD were awesome. Our meals were outstanding. We had pasta CARBONARA and LINGUINI FRUTTI DI MARE. We decided on flourless chocolate cake and pear and pistachio for dessert. They were so yummy. We eat outside sounded by Koi pond. They gave us food to feed fish, which was fun. When it started to rain, they put out a roof covering over the entire outside to keep us dry. Was just fabulous.

    Second time eating here. First time was seven years ago. It was great then, but somehow they’ve elevated the food and experience even further. I had Red Snapper with the Lemon caper sauce and it was perfect. Also enjoyed the Elva salad for a starter. It was bright and fruity as expected. We ended with their play on bread pudding. It was so sumptuous and light compared to many of the heavy variations I’ve had in the past. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to any personal needs. It was also nice to feed the fish while we waited for our main course. Highly recommend Ruinas Del Mar.
