    Food is always great. Calamari, caprese, mussels and so much more. Came here for a late birthday celebration and gave us a tiramisu cake which I love so much. A little bit sweet but it's so good. Mat served us and he was very attentive. The place was honestly quiet even if there were many people (except for people ordering in loud voices) but overall I think it was exceptional.

    Our server, Joe Meyers, was nothing short of phenomenal. His attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm elevated our night to the next level. Joe’s knowledge of the menu was impressive—he guided us through the best cuts of steak and paired them perfectly with sides and wine recommendations. But what truly set him apart was his personality. He was personable, engaging, and even shared his passion for ice cream, sparking a delightful conversation that added a unique touch to our dinner. If you visit Jeff Ruby’s, ask for Joe Meyers—you won’t regret it. He’s the kind of server who turns a great meal into an extraordinary experience. We’ll definitely be back!

    We went for happy hour. Every appetizer we had was amazing. The oysters were fabulous as was the pub burger. My cocktail and the wine were great too. You can’t beat the happy hour prices or the exceptional service we had. Our server Jordan was the icing on the cake. She was exceptional!

    We went before a hockey game and were pleasantly greeted and promptly seated. Nicely decorated with a pleasant ambiance. Casey, our incredible server, came over right away and told us about the great happy hour specials, including many menu items at 50% off as well as cocktails and wine. Casey gave us many good suggestions and brought out our food in a timing and logical manner. She checked on us several times and we never felt rushed. Good food at reasonable prices with a great server. Highly recommend!
