    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!

    Your live music is just too loud. It should be background and not his personal concert. I have been to Frank and Dino before and I thought the same thing. I love the live music and he is very good! It’s just a little too loud. I talked to others and they say the same thing.
