JEFF RUBY'S STEAKHOUSE REVIEWS

First time and an incredible dining experience! Beautiful decor, elegant, inviting and full of characters. Delicious food, we loved everything we tried, especially the crab cake, tater tots, mac and cheese, Godfather sushi roll, salmon, and the massive carrot and chocolate cakes. Service was impeccable. Jason, our server was knowledgeable and attentive, made excellent recommendations. Lupe kept our glasses full and our table spotless with efficiency, care, thoughtfulness and great attention to detail. Their hospitality made our night even more special. Highly recommend.

Jeff Ruby’s knows how to deliver an exceptional dining experience, and the new location lives up to the name. The steak was superb, and the sushi options were impressive as well. Our server was outstanding, and they went above and beyond by providing a special menu for my wife’s birthday. This restaurant is a true staple of the city, offering an excellent experience from start to finish. They even followed up with a personalized letter to our home—such a classy touch. Highly recommend for any special occasion.

As always with a Jeff Rubys experience, it was amazing! Everything from the food, staff, and environment was perfect! We really enjoyed the ambiance of the downtown location, and will be visiting again soon! Thanks again! Our server Robby did an excellent job,and was very knowledgeable.

TONY'S OF CINCINNATI REVIEWS

I had only been to Tony's a few times when I had lived in that area many years ago, and I loved it back then. I wanted my husband to try it too, and I wanted to see if it was still as wonderful as I had remembered, and IT WAS/IS!!! The food, service, and atmosphere were ALL stellar, and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed everything about our time there! It is now a new favorite place of his too. We LOVE Tony's.

Wonderful food, knowledgeable server with Brandon, great recommendations, a little slow timing wise but when we asked to speed up they accommodated immediately and happily. A favorite steakhouse! Steak tartare is a must.

The atmosphere was ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. The customer service (Kyle) was knowledge and was INCREDIBLE. The food was spectacular. The Dallas Clark steaks with loaded baked potatoes, and the 9 oz Filet Mignon were top-notch. The bread was soft and flavorful, and the Ceasar salad was the best I have ever had. The chocolate ganache was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This was our 1st time, and we were treated like royalty. Thank you, Kyle, for such an AMAZING experience.

EDDIE MERLOT'S REVIEWS

Celebrating husband’s birthday. We enjoyed our experience here. Great ambiance and service. My husband had me mover had a rack of lamb and it was his “best meal ever” (see picture this was after his first bite). Thanks so much to Kirk and crew for their amazing service. THE BEST.

Came for my birthday and we were served by Joe. He was spectacular and went above & beyond! Took his time to review the menu with us and even took our couple photos. He stood up on a chair to get a good shot! Wonderful experience. Thank you Joe.

This place was amazing! Everything is great! Good food, great service and staff Jo, she is so good and she takes care of our dinner. We definitely need to get another reservation soon! Everything is wonderful here! We love this place. Thank you for making my husband’s birthday so special.
