    Happened upon the outside posted menu of the restaurant while visiting the German Village and was intrigued. Got a same day reservation. The experience was no less than brilliant. The ambiance expertly crafted. The staff exquisitely attentive and as a cook myself, the food was jealously fantastic. Hope I can visit Cento again soon!

    Wonderful and personal experience at Lindeys! The food was absolutely fantastic and the staff was so friendly, especially to our kiddos. We got the calamari, ahi tuna, bread, and highlight for me was the burger. The kids meal portions were also very generous! Certainly a great place to celebrate a special occasion!

    My husband and I enjoyed an early Valentine's dinner last night. Once again Jeffy Ruby's was perfect! We enjoyed a wonderful bottle of wine and delicious food. Dave our server was excellent and attentive throughout the evening. His recommendations for dessert were spot on, I've never had the butter pie and so glad I chose it, perfection! Of course the steak and lobster were perfectly cooked and delicious, like I would expect from Jeff Ruby's high quality beef and seafood selections. We are already looking forward to dining here again and we are still talking about how great our meals were last night!

    We love coming here. It’s a very unique place… old school yet classy, great food but not too expensive. It’s cozy and unpretentious. Classic Italian fare!
