    I’m never disappointed when I go to a Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse! You know the food will always be exceptionally good but the Staff is just as much! Sofie was our server and she treated us like old friends! I was in the mood for a burger…. A rare treat I allow myself and my husband had the NY strip and it was perfectly cooked. Crusty on the outside and juicy and tender on the outside!

    Great atmosphere, perfect music for the ambiance. Everyone was nice, professional and accommodating. Food while slightly expensive was large portions and very tasteful. Service was professional and not rushed, the waiter was great.

    I find it hard to give a five star rating because to me that takes something beyond what you should expect. This place is good, very good. The duck was killer and I really like that they did not try to crowd every possible table into the space. You can actually move around your table. Everything we had was perfectly cooked and imaginative.

    We were promptly seated in a great booth for our late-evening anniversary dinner. All of the staff members were very professional. The restaurant environment was just right...not too quiet (stuffy) and not too noisy. Our server handled everything perfectly. Most importantly, the food was outstanding. Definitely one of the best steaks I've had anywhere, along with delicious baked potato and onion straws. I highly recommend Tony's and will come back again for another excellent experience soon.
