We Will Try Again
Overall, We enjoyed our dining experience. Suggestions: Just say no to the kale salad. Someone was very heavy handed on the vinegar in the vinaigrette, thus making it pretty much inedible. Just say yes to the barrel filet mignon with grits and shrimp. Prepared medium, just as ordered, and it was absolutely delicious. There was a rowdy table of gal pals beside us who were pretty obnoxious in language and mannerisms. So say yes to biting your tongue and overlooking rudeness. Having just come from the UK game, we were perhaps underdressed. Therefore just say yes to tossing your barely butt-covering little black dress in the car before dining here (NOT). Anyway, we will return for that filet for sure.

This party of 5 had a fabulous experience with Johnny Kentucky as our server extraordinaire! He has the balance of hospitality and professionalism that made the experience 5 star plus! Oh and the food….every bite was delicious from the Freddie Salad, Surf and Turf to the Butter Cake!! The mixologist deserves a 5 plus star rating as well! This was my first time at Jeff Ruby’s and I will be back!

Great service and atmosphere for visiting with friends and enjoying the steak and lobster and crème brûlée and a glass of wine.

Amazing!!! DJ got us a table at the last minute before the UK game. It was wonderful. Drinks, foods, and overall a great night!
Be the first to ReplyDon’t trust Jeff Ruby’s to get anything right!!! Thanks for ruining our New Year’s Eve plans.
We made reservations two months ago by phone, and even booked a night at the hotel next door because of our dinner plans. I just called to confirm and they don’t have our reservation. My husband and I were together on speaker phone when we made the reservation, so I know for a fact we talked to someone at the restaurant at the end of October. And now you don’t have our reservation??? Now where do we eat at the last minute on NYE? We traveled from the Caribbean to celebrate an evening out and enjoy Jeff Ruby’s for the first time. I even bought a gift certificate for my husband as a Christmas gift. Anybody want it? I’ll never darken this door. If you can’t get reservations right, I can’t imagine anything else is at all enjoyable at this establishment. I’ve heard mixed reviews from friends about Jeff Ruby’s, but I thought NYE would be a good night to have the experience even if the food isn’t great and it’s basically overrated. Terrible service. Completely incompetant hostess. We asked to speak to a manager and they hung up on us and now they won’t answer the phone. Disappointed is a gross understatement. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

So the Fat Man and his wife wanted to have a date night, we felt like getting a little dressed up. So we ventured out to Jeff Ruby's in downtown Lexington, KY. Jeff Ruby's offers prime steak cuts, sushi & a vast choice of whiskeys in an upscale dining space with chandeliers. For our appetizer we tried the Oysters Rockefeller which comes with Spinach, Mornay, Parmigiano-Reggiano, 19 Pernod. The oysters offered good flavor in every bite, and were cooked through with a slight chew. The spinach and cheese compliment the oyster with a little salt and creaminess to the bite. The licorice flavor of the pernod is very subtle but added a dryness to the salty bite. For my entrée, I went with the Barrel-Cut filet with Mac n cheese, Brussels sprouts and a bourbon peppercorn sauce. The steak was cooked to a great rare, perfectly red in the center. It had a good salt level with a great outer crust. It was tender and juicy, the peppercorn sauce is very peppery on the front and backend with a heavy saltiness and good flavor, it reminds me of a gravy. The Mac n cheese noodles were overcooked, and the cheese sauce tasted like it had broken, leaving it gritty. However, the cheesy crust on the top is great with a crunch when digging into it. The Brussels are fantastic, they are cooked tender with a good sweet maple sauce, that is not overly sweet. My wife had the Bourbon filet with cheddar grits and Bourbon garlic shrimp. The grits have a good cheddar taste, but they were a little watery for my liking. The shrimp is cooked perfectly with good flavor, and they were of good size. Her steak was cooked perfectly to a medium rare, and it was tender and juicy. Jeff Ruby's has a full bar, beer and wine selection. The staff was very attentive and well-informed of the menu. I highly recommend a reservation. The Fat Man says that Jeff Ruby's is Fat Man Approved with 3 chins.
Be the first to ReplyLoud and chef having a bad night?
We were seated at a high top table in the piano bar area which was last available when we made reservations. The volume of the singer and piano was deafening. No one, including servers, could speak to be heard. Ridiculous. Next up: My salmon was visibility over cooked and tasted like it was going bad. The refire was even worse as it was undercooked and raw in the center. I refused the further attempt to have any other substitution and of course was not charged. My friend’s meal charge was also removed and manager did apologize, which was appreciated. This was my friend’s 3rd negative experience in a row at this location which pretty much means we are out. A shame because it is a beautiful restaurant and I know they can do better.

This night they nailed everything we had. My New York Strip was cooked to perfection and thus melted in my mouth with deliciousness. The seafood tower, the sides and the butter cake for dessert. O my.
Be the first to ReplyBaked potato Redo
This is a beautiful restaurant, the decor is over the top! It’s lively and I love the live band. The food however is not as top notch:/ I don’t like the “share” sides. I mean come on that’s so cheesy. My steak was tender but the baked potato was so disappointing. Honestly it looked and taste like a microwave potato? I’m a “gotta have a baked potato with steak” kinda gal. So that’s a deal breaker for me! I hope they will hire someone who can make a good baked potato that will wow me as much as the decor!
Be the first to ReplyClassy and well appointed bar for drinks
It was difficult to get a table reservation, so I went and had a couple of Manhattans at the bar. The bar is classy and on entering the restaurant you notice a huge chandelier. Patrons were well dressed and it felt like you were in a stylish setting. The drinks were well done by the bartender. I liked the live music set up on an elevated platform behind the bar. Good experience. Will try the food next time.

The food & table service team were very good! And now, for the rest of the story — Had a reservation for 5 on Friday, Oct. 7, 2022; 3 adults and 2 13-yr olds. Seated at 2-rounds that were shoved together in a back room right beside an incredibly obnoxious table of diners who had had far too much to drink - they were totally out of control. Their partying was so loud that we could not hear each other talk at my table. Their partying was allowed to proceed for 75-90 minutes longer with continuous bottles of wine during our dinner, after already being there for 3-4 hours before we arrived. Inflammatory words were loudly shouted for everyone to hear. Even one of the Jeff Ruby table servers (a young lady) was verbally harassed by these patrons! It was a totally miserable dinner for us at this high-end restaurant. After complaints (& sheer exhaustion at my table), that group was moved to the patio bar, but our evening had already been decimated. The check arrived, along with a verbal apology, but ZERO consideration of ANY sort for this experience. How disappointing! I called the restaurant a few days later to talk with the manager about this miserable experience. After talking with a nice woman, I had to leave a message for a callback; no callback after 2-3 weeks. Then, I called again with the same request to talk with the manager; another message was left, and again, no callback. I called a 3rd time about 3-4 weeks later & explained for a 3rd time about my experience & desire to talk with the manager; it’s now been more than 10-days, but again, no return call. I’m very disappointed about this dining experience. We had such high expectations for a nice dinner together with our family, but that absolutely did not occur. Further, no attempt with service or remuneration for our incredibly poor experience! Bottom line: don’t consider this Jeff Ruby location!

Be the first to ReplyIt’s not enough to have good food
Visited here for my daughter’s 21st birthday with a party of 10. I called two weeks ahead of time and made reservations, yet when we got there we still had a wait and they pushed tables together in a very busy part of the restaurant. The seats were so close together that we couldn’t sit down and had to ask for them to move one of the chairs to the ends of the table- so we had room to get in. Even after we were seated, the ends of our table stuck so far out in the aisle that every single time a waiter walked by we were bumped. Though our waiter was nice and friendly, he did not check on us often, and it took 45 minutes for them to simply take our order. We were at the restaurant 2 1/2 hours total waiting on our order to be taken and our food to be brought out. We had to flag people down to get our drinks refilled. Though the food was good, our location of seating and our lack of attention made the experience unenjoyable. It was obvious they were not ready for us, even though I made the reservation so far in advance. This was our second trip to Jeff rubys. Our first trip was with a group of only four people and it was exactly the same. I love the decor and the building is very pretty and the valets were all very nice, the service was lacking and the seating was not ok and with tables being right on top of each other, it doesn’t make it comfortable. I would love for this restaurant to be better, we like having options of places to go in Lexington and the food was good, but all of the other factors made it so frustrating that we will not return. After talking to many people about this, almost everyone we talked to felt the exact same way, so I know it was not just an isolated incident. We will be regulars at Tony’s where the service and food are always great.

Our meal was wonderful. My husband had the strip steak and I had the Halibut. Both very tasty and delicious. Loved the service and atmosphere too. I am not a drinker but I do like to have a not tail when I’m out. It would be nice if they had a menu for non-alcoholic drinkers like myself.

Our team celebratory dinner in one word - PERFECTION! After a last minute change in venue, Jack Ruby’s came through with an awesome dining experience on the patio! From arranging our champagne toast to handling the many requests, Olivia and Johnny D were AMAZING SERVERS! They made our night one to remember. Total TENS across the board - the food was impeccable, the seafood tower is a must have! My ribeye - cooked to perfection, the Mac n Cheese - delish! I ended my night with the blood orange sorbet, a culinary delight of tart and sweet, yum! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this night!

This restaurant never disappoints! As you arrive, the valet staff is friendly, polite and respectful as they greet you. As you step in doors, you are again greeted promptly and with pleasantry. On a recent visit, I ordered the shrimp and grits appetizer as an entree. The grits were creamy and tasty, and the blackened shrimp were excellent. This is a dining destination that I frequent often, and I will continue to do so.

We made reservations for 6 people weeks before our reservation. We had to wait for 2 four top tables to be pushed together. So, the 2 people in the middle had to eat where the two tables met up and they were not level. Then we found out that they were leaving the patio doors open which is right where our table was and the entire restaurant was hot it was June. We felt like we were on a picnic because flies were coming in as well! I told the waitress we were hot and she said she could possibly turn the air condition down but since we were in the doorway it did little if anything. It was 90 something degrees outside. Our waitress did her best but the restaurant is understaffed to say the least. we had reservations for 7 o’clock and began eating our entrées at 8:45. We were in the bar area and the band was so loud we could not talk to each other. We did not have dessert because we could not wait to get out of the restaurant. The food was fine. I won’t be going back soon

Been to this restaurant numerous times. Typically we sit at the bar proper for drinks and dinner. Matt is often times one of the bartenders and goes out of his way to take care of us. He’s a fabulous bartender! He is patient when we’re trying to decide what to order and attentive through our meal and beyond. He’s always smiling and as we have got to know him we have realized he’s an all around great guy!

Let me say I am not local but you wouldn't know it....Jeff Ruby's is always at the top of my list for dinner, drinks & dancing. The atmosphere is beautiful, the energy is fun ,the food is delicious, the coctails are always perfect! Matt Bryant is a bartender there & when he sees my name on the reservation, I magically have 2 espresso martinis waiting!!! The attention to detail is impressive! If you non stuffy elegance, Jeff Ruby's is the place to be!!
