Upscale pricing and average dining. Phenomenal service, location and atmosphere. Food was lacking even before you consider the price. Little flavor or drowned in sauce. Our meal was over $300 for two people with a couple adult beverages. Plenty of places in Lex with better food. With the level of service I received I would expect my palate to be happier. The sushi and dessert were the highlights.

Beautiful venue. Very upscale prices, however there were people dining wearing jeans and hoodies. We went expecting a fine dining experience which we did enjoy, but the fact that there's not a dress code enforced took away from the ambiance. Everything is A La Carte. And I do mean EVERYTHING. If you order the shrimp cocktail, it's $8 per shrimp. But the sides are definitely sharable. If we had known that, we wouldn't have ordered so much. I feel our waiter or his assistant could have told us this, but then again maybe that's the point to get you to spend more money. The food was delicious, but it's not someplace I would go to on a regular basis.

What a place! First time diners here. The service was amazing. The best. Our servers were Marilyn and AJ. Couldn't have asked for better from them. Marilyn made it such a memorable experience for us for our anniversary. The food was okay. Expected better to be honest, given the price range. The mashed potatoes, the wagyu meatball (appetizer), and the butter cake we had for dessert were the highlights of the meal. The steaks were good, but nothing we couldn't have got at a chain steakhouse for a much lower price. The seasoning and the char were good and different but for the price, we expected the steak to be one of a kind, melt in your mouth, the most amazing steak I've ever tasted. And it just wasn't.

I don't know what to say about this place! Wow! It's like a mansion house but also a restaurant and bar! It's so fancy and they've got every type of food on their menus. They've also got so many kinds of wine, beer, liquor and whatever else there is to drink I'm sure they've got it! It's a few extra bucks to go here tho. They gave us a tour and a menu before they opened and those prices were a lot more than I've ever seen, but I've never been anywhere like this!

Is my wife and I have ate at at 4 different Jeff Ruby's. I sat at the high table in the bar. Wow, I'm really glad we did The food was great again. The service excellent.. The ambiance was the best, really surprised me. The piano played non stop, the doors were open to the outside. Nice job. My wife said the best experience ever.

Every once in awhile it's nice to treat yourself to something special. The dining experience at Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse was indeed something special. We were catered too the entire evening. The staff seems to anticipate all your needs before you ask. The food....ah the food. Simply incredible. We had the salmon and the porkchop and they were cooked perfectly. The sides are ala cart so you get exactly what you want. It was a wonderful experience, albeit an expensive one for us, but well worth it.

Everything was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly, drinks were mixed well and sides were big enough to share. Service was on point and everyone was accommodating and friendly. Will definitely be back.

We have gone to Jeff Ruby several times. It is a wonderful five-star restaurant with excellent service. They have an extensive drink and wine menu. On the weekends they have regular entertainment. Their patio is beautiful. I have had their sushi several times. It is fantastic every time. The chocolate cake is to die for so it is a must-have! The only negative I would say is their wait staff is polite but not one server has a smile. The bartender is always smiling and talking, but as far as the servers and assistance none of them ever smile. I suppose that might be a little thing, but I think it affects the overall atmosphere. Follow us for more great reviews ™

The food was very good. The wait staff was amazing, except for our waitress didn't allow us to order an off menu item. We really enjoyed the crab salad and were able to get it two weeks ago, but the waitress said "sorry we can no longer make that?" . The wait assistance Dakota was very friendly and took very good care of us. We had the Miami roll and blacked Ribeye. The only reason they didn't get a five was that the restroom needed attention and unable to get the salad we liked. In the restroom, all of the hand towels were empty, including the ones on the sink, and the floor was trashed.

We had an amazing meal. The newly added bourbon steak with shrimp and grits was incredible! BUT the best part was our server Angel and his assistant Don! Truly grasped the concept of customer service. They were attentive but not over powering. The Gatsby Room was lovely. We will request Angel the next time we dine there. Thank you Angel for making our evening PERFECT!

Absolutely incredible!! The food is not only top notch but the service is as well! I went for my birthday with some friends and Jeff Ruby's made it extremely special. Not only did our waitress bring over an incredible dessert with a candle, but she also took our picture and then brought out a Jeff Ruby's card that said 'Happy Birthday' with the picture attached! We also had an incredibly kind stranger who picked up our entire tab and sent over shots! I hope that person has all the great karma in the world! This first experience will definitely not be my last!

Loved our dinner at Jeff Ruby’s. John, our server, did an excellent job of greeting and explaining the specials and other menu items. Service was top notch all night. The steak was perfect and sides (served family style) were generous portions. The bourbon chocolate cake (to go) was the best I have ever had and enough for 3 people to share! Loved the fun interior deco. Great food and atmosphere for special occasions or anytime you are wanting a delicious meal.

For work we had a special celebration dinner to celebrate one our sales guys hitting a huge number! Plus we celebrated our overall accomplishments as a team. The staff was so friendly, and congratulated us as well! They put us in a special room passed the bar, very VIP feeling. We tried everything on the menu. Obviously you can’t go wrong with A5 wagu, but I had the bone in strip, cigar dessert, and Mac and cheese! This meal was 5 stars, service was 5 stars!

Great experience overall, from the food to ambiance to our server, Olivia. Live background piano music provides a terrific ambiance. Highly recommend making a reservation on OpenTable and choosing the bar seating area. Also, the portions are large… the kitchen will split anything. My pictures represent half portions.

Absolutely delicious. The A5 Japanese Wagyu was easily the best steak I’ve ever had. The sides paired perfectly with our dinner. The atmosphere was decadent and provided a fantastic view to catch up with family and friends… The cocktails and beer selections were great. Service was fantastic and the dessert was amazing!!

Party vibe. Old school charm. Tasty food. Awesome bar with music. We visit Lexington once a year and will definitely make this place our go-to spot.

My first dining experience here and it was good. Getting menus and drinks to about 20-30min. The appetizers were great however took about 40 minutes to receive. Dinner came and it too was great as was the dessert. The server was sweet and friendly however she was extremely slow and it wasn't busy at all. Our bill was over $300 food and drinks were worth that but I think the server should have been a little more attentive.

Oh America. $200 for dinner for 1. A $85 steak (which was fabulous but too big), 3 sides (fries, carrots, spinach) (I mean who eats just one side for $15) and 3 drinks. Delicious. Salty. Nice bar and piano literally in the bar. A nice treat perhaps but this cost 20 meals elsewhere.

Celebrated my 5th year anniversary by having dinner at the restaurant, and it wasn’t a regret. The food was amazing, and the service. My wife was becoming nauseous by the truffle smell on the potatoes. I told our server Preston, and he immediately took them. He replaced them with mashed potatoes. I will highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. It was great.

We celebrated my birthday here. First of all our drinks and appetizers were amazing. We highly recommend oysters on the half-shell to anyone who loves seafood. The food was fabulous and the service was excellent. From the live band to the atmosphere our experience at Jeff Ruby’s was next to none. We will most definitely be back. It was a smash!!!

Very nice experience for our anniversary dinner. Wonderful service and lovely, charming surroundings. Lobster bisque was very good. Freddy salad was really good with bacon and LOTS of ranch dressing. The mashed potatoes are amazing! So smooth and creamy. My husband thought that the ribeye was over seasoned but still very good. The wait staff gave him the offer of not doing seasoning and we would suggest taking them up on it unless you really like your meat super salty. My Steak Diane was delicious and perfectly prepared. The Potato Anna was good but not amazing. Dessert was butter pie a la mode - about died and went to heaven. So good. Overall a lovely experience.

This was our first time dining here, celebrating our daughter’s birthday, and we were not disappointed! Lobster tail, salmon, and halibut were exceptional, and the level of service was fantastic! The ambiance and music also a huge plus! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent food and service.

These photos do the food absolutely no justice. The tuna tartare was some of the best I've eaten. My girlfriend ordered the 8oz fillet with a Collinsworth topper that was absolutely perfect. We also really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaraunt, as well the highly attentive service. Not something we can afford often, but will certainly be back for special occasions. Great work, Jeff Ruby's!

Oh, where to begin. I’m a fan of high end steakhouses - and this is one. However, in summary, the place has a twinge of kitsch and a sliiiight turn of the “show up to be seen” knob a little on the high side for what it is. I was by myself, and originally planned on coming by Saturday and just sitting at the bar (my usual test of a place like this) but getting in even to grab a bar seat was IMPOSSIBLE. Yeah, that’s the brakes being solo - but I did see “reserved” placards at the bar so maybe there is a way, or it’s only for VIPs. Sunday night was just as packed. Got a seat and must say the service was great. The food was also incredible - but I sprung for the A5 Wagyu filet, so it better be. However, I was a little surprised there was a tad of gristle on the filet. For $170 this shouldn’t be the case - I did mention it, but it was shrugged off. Oh well, it didn’t ruin it - it was just surprising. I matched that with the mac and cheese (contrast the top notch with the pedestrian) and it was killer. Finished with some dessert wine. All fantastic. My server, Corey, was great - but it was a little busy. I wasn’t dressed to the nines (which I never do at such a place, I want to know how they treat someone not in an Armani suit) and he was attentive and friendly. So that’s good. The crowd - interesting. About a third through my meal a woman sat down next to me with a selfie stick and a pair of cameras, voguing for herself. All good - found out she was a local news anchor and we ran into each other again later and chatted quite a bit. But some folks here were clearly putting on a show, and a bit over the top at that for a Sunday night. I guess people will do that, but a few people I think confused Lexington for Dubai and probably need to chill a bit. As for the ambiance - the piano man is fantastic. All over the map on his songs, and in a good way. Him being up on a stage above the bar is a weeee bit corny, but his talent blanked out anything in that regard. To be honest - I’d go back just to see that dude. He’s awesome. Only negative I will say, and I’ll be straight about it - the valets out front are, well, jerks. I had tried coming by earlier and it was just mobbed, so I waited and came back - and they made a crack about me trying to get a seat this time.. Something like “maybe next time being your girlfriend.. or boyfriend!” Ok, pal, I’m here on business and nobody needs your commentary. It certainly wasn’t all of them as one valet was friendly as I was leaving and wished me a good evening, but a couple of them need a check and to grow up a bit. Overall, a fun place if you can get in. The place takes itself about 10% too seriously and about 20% of the clientele do the same. Worth checking out, for sure.

The ambiance is amazing!! Great for pics!I’ve been several times but this weekend was almost the worst. Not only did they mess up everyone’s steak. The manager came over and apologized and agreed to compensate us and take my moms steak off after they tried to fix it twice. Then sent 3 pieces of cake that I ended up paying for I laughed it off but the cake wasn’t that tasty and why did I still end up paying for everything 😅 I’ll stick to drinks and pics!

Finding this place was a lucky accident. My wife had seen it as we were driving into Lexington on the way to our hotel. We walked there and despite being underdressed, the entire staff from the valet to the hostesses to the bartenders and the manager made us feel welcome as we sat at the bar. There was a bit of sticker shock when we opened the menu, but the bartender Corey explained the "family style" servings which meant we could share a steak and the sides. Corey and Mariah were both charming and helpful guiding us through menu options and nudging us to try things we might not have gotten otherwise. In the end we got raw oysters with a rose champagne, a 70-day dry-aged steak, potatoes, mac & cheese, and a sweet porkbelly relish that went really well with the mac & cheese. And as it was my birthday, a huge piece of chocolate cake. I don't remember the manager's name but he checked in on us to make sure everything was top-notch, which it definitely was. Based on a couple of people we met at the bar, this is where the influential people of Lexington meet.

Olivia provided an outstanding experience with her extensive knowledge and expertise. Her ability to convey complex concepts in an accessible manner was impressive, leaving me thoroughly informed and enlightened. Alongside her knowledge, Olivia's personable nature created a warm and comfortable atmosphere, making the interaction feel like a genuine conversation. She infused energy and enthusiasm, keeping the atmosphere lively and engaging throughout our interaction. Overall, I highly recommend Olivia for anyone seeking a knowledgeable, personable, and vibrant experience.

I took the whole family here for my wife’s birthday. The blackened ribeye is the best steak I have had in years. It practically melted in my mouth and the flavor was spot on.

What a wonderful experience we had at dinner. Everything from the Ruby Roll, drinks, and main course exceeded all our expectations. We had Kylie and Graham as our severs and they were absolutely delightful. Even the mangers Zack and DJ were on their A game. Definitely would recommend and can see why they are a Lex favorite
