We went out for my husband's birthday and it was our first time ever going to jeff ruby's. I'm telling you it was amazing. The staff was on point and friendly. Our waiter Johnathan was amazing. He walked us through the menu, continuously checked on us, and gave his honest opinions on the menu items. We had the Japanese A5 filet, and I'm telling you, u won't regret it. It's the best melt in your mouth steak we ever had. Thank you all for making our night memorable!

Made a reservation for 3 for a work holiday lunch. Sat us in Michael’s section and he did wonderfully!! First time at this location and overall it was better than the downtown location. Ample parking in a paved lot. Beautifully decorated and more spacious than downtown. Food was good, service was good, noise level wasn’t as bad as other reviews have said. We will definitely be back!!

The servers, bartenders, etc. were phenomenal! Our waitress was well versed in the menu, not how to make suggestions, engaged at the appropriate level, meaning she kept the water glasses and are needs met without hovering.
