Service was good, but food was mediocre at best. Steak was well prepared but shrimp was overcooked, gnocchi was seasoned with a strange citrus flavor and most sides were bland. Appetizers were salty and expensive. Unfortunately for the money spent I would not return. read more

My absolute go to spot. Erick is my absolute favorite host of the evening. I cannot stop going back. The service is immaculate. The food is beyond delicious and I love the seasonal change of the menu they recently had. Cheers to the entire staff. You all are incredible. I cannot wait to bring my friends next month for a work gathering!!! 100000/10 experience! read more

Beautiful restaurant, gorgeous decor, great service. The vibes are high here. However, the food has certainly gone downhill in quality recently. Everything I ordered was below par and quite honestly, bland. Not worth the price. read more

Be sure to double-check your bill and keep your receipt. I was overcharged by more than $100 after my visit. It appears our waiter altered the tip amount and added an extra charge without my authorization, even though I had already left the suggested tip. When I called to report it, the manager reviewed the situation, confirmed the discrepancy, apologized, and issued a refund. He also mentioned that a gift card voucher would be sent through OpenTable, but I never received it. It's been since Oct.. Very disappointing experience overall. read more

My (now) husband and I went to Jeff Ruby's after our intimate wedding ceremony and had the most memorable experience. The service here is unmatched. Our waiter, Umit, was incredibly patient and accommodating for us. The staff here truly goes above and beyond. Of course the food is amazing, but so much of the experience is about the service they provide. The manager, Ashley, made us a personalized memento from our wedding night that we will keep forever. As always, thanks for amazing dinner, Jeff Ruby's!!! (For reference, we ordered the lemon-lavender mule(!!!), espresso martini, a bottle of Cab, the waygu meatball, Caesar salad, two different filet mignon, Brussel sprouts, mac and cheese(!!!), and the strawberry butter cake for dessert) read more

My fiancée and I came here on November 29th to celebrate her 28th birthday. She has never been to Cincinnati and Jeff Ruby's before. I've been to Cincinnati before (2018) and I've been to the Jeff Ruby's location in Nashville, Tennessee. She wanted me to surprise her on this special birthday and I knew she would love Jeff Ruby's. We had a reservation for 8pm and we had to wait a few minutes for our table; which is not a problem. Once we got to our table, we got our drinks and appetizers. Fiancée got the ruby slipper drink and I just got a water and some oysters to start the night. I also got a Caesar salad with no croutons. For our main plates, I got the Chilean sea bass and the fiancée got pork chops with Mac n cheese. She fell in love with Jeff Ruby's with the first bite of Mac n cheese. If we're ever in the Cincinnati area again, we hope to eat at Jeff Ruby's again. :) read more

Amazing experience from start to finish! Service was top notch, and our service treated our kids like the most important customers in the place instead of being annoyed like some would be. From the sushi, to the mozzarella, the carpaccio, and finally the steaks were all cooked to perfection just as we ordered them. Finished up with the butter pie which was worth a visit on its own. Definitely recommend. read more

We had two sushi rolls for appetizers which were excellent. Our main course steaks ranged from the ribeye to the NY strip to the filet with scampi. All were done perfectly. Add in a nice Cabernet with some nice cocktails and we had a great night. Loved the atmosphere. Our waiter Alex was outstanding. read more

We were able to score reservations for New Year's Eve a few days beforehand. Everything has top-notch, the best of the best. The service is amazing. We had at least three servers come around to our table several times. I've never had a better steak anywhere. we always see celebrities when we are here. This evening it was Anthony Munoz. read more

Came here on a Sunday to use an old giftcard without a reservation. In the middle of the holiday season but we were offered a seat at the bar or high top in the bar lounge area. We chose the table. Service is absolutely excellent, our waitress was friendly and confident in her expertise about the current offerings. Got a few drinks, salads and entrees. The dry-aged NY Strip was wayyyy over seasoned. French fries were just okay and filet was also fine. Highlights were the salads and the drinks. Didn't love the TVs that were in the area, really took away from the steel of luxury everywhere else. Would come back to try the sushi, but not without another giftcard. read more

We told our daughter she could choose any restaurant in Cincinnati to celebrate her paying off her student loans and she chose Jeff Ruby's. This is the first time we have visited the new location and it's beautiful. It looks much more upscale and less over the top glitzy like the previous location. As always, the service was top notch; it doesn't get better than this. We all ordered steaks medium rare and they came out perfectly. I'm always a little shocked when the steaks first come to the table; because of the way they sear them, they initially look over-cooked, but when you cut into them, they are right on. We shared several side dishes. One of our favorites, Potatoes Anna was delicious as always but the asparagus was underwhelming. For dessert, they brought out a surprise celebratory dessert since we mentioned we were celebrating my daughter paying off her loans. We also ordered the table-side Bananas Foster, which was a fun way to end the evening. Jeff Ruby's is definitely a special occasion restaurant: quite expensive but so worth it on special occasions! read more

Horrible service. I walked in and they did ask if I was alone and I said yes. The young lady said it would be a few minutes, but she never asked my name. I waited a few more minutes as others were sat and none of the hostesses checked on me or tried to get me a place to sit. I was offered to sit at the bar but all of those seats were reserved. I just walked out and went to another steakhouse. I shall avoid Jeff Ruby's whenever and wherever I see their signs. read more

Great Valentine's Day experience!! We had yet to check out the new location & were blown away by the size and decor. Our waiter was attentive in every way. He went beyond by adding a candle to our dessert to celebrate the holiday. We are big Ruby's people but normally stick to the steak. Tried the filet and lobster sushi roll yesterday and I think I've found my new favorite app!! 11/10 experience. read more

Made my tri annual visit to JRs last night celebrating a birthday and the food was spot on, the pork bellies were incredible and the service by Cole was just about as perfect as you could get. He was personable, knowledgeable, and not intrusive. Next time we go back we might just ask for him. Cheers. read more

Wow! Where to begin ? What a fun, lively Friday night. Freddy salad was great and a large portion at that. Let me get to the meat of the matter.... I got the New York strip and hub got the ribeye and lobster. Both of our entrees were out of this world amazing! It was the best steak I've had to date. I did not care for the potatoes Anna, but hey, I tried something new. Also- BEST margarita ever???? It's here : called the Ginger Bee Margarita. My only complaint would be regarding the live entertainment...One of the singers was so underdressed he looked out of place. It was just odd and not fitting for such a beautiful upscale lounge area. read more

Classic steakhouse with great food. Excellent wine list. We had the Oysters Rockefeller (almost a meal in itself...), a half of a wedge salad (fine... instead of bacon, it came with a toasty pork belly), and a rib eye (cooked to perfection, very tasty). read more

Worth the hype! The new location is beautiful. We went here for my birthday dinner and it was the right choice. A perfect place for an intimate dinner or a birthday dinner with friends. This is top notch service, the waiters are equipped with all the knowledge to help you make the right decisions. I really appreciate suggestions, which they were great at giving. Definitely took everything a step above any other fancy restaurant I have been. The food was amazing and the crust on the steak is so memorable. I highly highly recommend getting the crab cake appetizer, for us it is now a must any time we go back. Worth every penny, we will be back. read more

Where do we begin with this place. Some of the best fine dining in cincinnati, i've been to all the Rubys and this one tops them all in terms of ambiance! it's huge and classy. The service was great and top notch (as always). You start with bread and 2 types of butters. We opted for a sushi roll (don't remember which one sorry) to start; a must have is the crabcakes. They are so so good that I could have my entire meal with just crabcakes. We also got a steak and the fish that they cooked tableside. I wanted a show with dinner and this did not disappoint. Fish got de-boned and filleted and served it. The sides are huge here so we only got the mac & cheese and i will continue to get this as my side as it's soooo yummy and creamy but the top is crispy. read more

Excellent food all around, maybe the highest quality steak in Cincy. I want to try their Nashville location and compare it to Bourbon Steak.

Disappointing. Now hear me out my husband and I frequent 3-5 star restaurants and know what good service and food is. Jeff rubys cincinnati is just living off a brand name and needs to up its game. 1) we arrived a bit early for our reservation with the intent of grabbing a cocktail before dinner. We were greeted by the floor manager for the bar area escorted to a seat he said that a cocktail waitress would be right there. She never came and the host walked by multiple times without once talking to us again. Guess it saved us $$ but not the level of service I want from a Jeff rubys 2) after being unsuccessful at the bar, we finished waiting in the entrance area by the sushi bar. It smelled so fishy! We were going to order sushi and tuna but decided against it. 3) while waiting for our table we noticed that the bus boys and women had to carry all the dirty dishes from the front part of the restaurant through the entrance way past all the guests waiting to be seated. At a high end restaurant I'm appalled that the restaurant traffic flow was designed that way. 4) the crumb. Pusher. Loved the service getting the table cleaned. When the staff pushed the crumbs off of the table they were just pushed off onto the carpet no effort to make it neat. I'm sorry that is gross we aren't eating a Texas road house 5) silverware placement I expect the server to anticipate and place silverware accordingly. We ordered soup. When our server came out he was carrying both spoons and soup in hand. He placed both my husbands and my silverware incorrectly again at any other restaurant fine... but at the price I expect high service. 6) food quality: we ordered a cowboy ribeye steak. It was absolutely unseasoned. Nothing. 100% worst steak I've had for $$$& Needless to say I can't justify the price of rubys steakhouse Cincinnati and all I have to say is it's disappointing. read more

Wow. It's a beautiful restaurant and the food is outstanding.

We came in for opening day which was a phenomenal experience if you are a baseball fan. By far the best service I've ever had at a steakhouse and probably anywhere. Our waiter John was super patient and polite and never forgot to check on the table. I'm a big sneaker head so I've been wanting to check this place out for the Jordan shoe cake but I was blown away by the steak. I got the filet mignon with the king crab and asparagus on top which was a perfect combination of flavor and texture. The Mac and cheese is also worth the trip! read more

Came here while visiting Cincinnati. I sat right at the bar and really enjoyed the live music. I told the bartender that it was my first time there and she gave great suggestions. I got the crushed rose dessert and the toro. Everything was delicious. If I'm ever in town again,I definitely plan to go back. read more

My husband and I had an excellent anniversary dinner at Jeff Ruby's! The new downtown location is gorgeous and so thoughtful with the special touches In decor. Our server was fantastic and she even brought us a piece of pie to share when she found out it was our 8th anniversary. My favorite things during this visit were the appetizers- we had the meatball and the crab cake. The meatball was giant and very good, in fact it's probably the reason I didn't eat much of my actual dinner! The crab cake was as delicious with large pieces of crab in it. My husband's Australian filet was perfection. read more

We are often at Ruby's because it is the best steak in the US and tonight our server, Anthony, was on point with his recommendations. We had the Australian ribeye cap and it melted in your mouth!! Shishido peppers are new and the preparation was very unique and we loved it. Of course we had to have the chocolate chip cookie skillet to top it off. Also thank you to Bawe for always making everybody feel like a VIP!! Perfect date night. read more

Atmosphere was nice, service was great, the filet was really good also. I recommend eating here. You won't leave hungry.

Hats off to Jeff Ruby's!! We have been hosting our #85 Fortune 500 corporate Clients Christmas dinner here for several years. I book a room 6 months prior with Maggie, and let me tell you she is the best at communicating, setting everything set up from start to finish and then done. Next i would like to say that this years event was exceptional here at Jeff Ruby's again! The service from Dustin, Anthony, and also the Manager was top notch! They went above and beyond on everything and yet so cool under the pressure they didn't miss a single beat. I have to admit i have yet to experience this type of service from any other top-tier restaurant. I keep coming back to Jeff Ruby's time after time because its truly a unique experience with exceptional food, vibrant atmosphere, and wonderful employees that really do care about your experience at Jeff Ruby's. read more

Enjoyed a night out in Cincinnati with friends at Jeff Ruby's. While this was one of many visits to Jeff Ruby properties, I was curious to see the new location on Fountain Square. The exterior and interior carry off the Jeff Ruby's brand well. The atmosphere was exciting - a place to meet and enjoy the company and buzz all around you. Service was excellent, very attentive and focused on the experience. Food courses came out timely, elegant, and well plated. I enjoyed a starter of Wagyu meatballs, followed by the Freddie salad. I was determined go slow and go the distance but I ate it all... the main was chicken breast with mushrooms and sauce. We finished with coffee and the seasonal pie. Again, there was no need for a doggie bag. My overall experience was great and I will certainly remember this place when planning business or pleasure events. read more

We never had to ask for anything and he was there giving water or taking plates away. This place is just a wonderful place to enjoy great food and service. We always come back read more

Started with valet parking, then walked in for a fabulous dinner. We were greeted right away and seated within five minutes. Great ambiance in a room full of happy guests being served by attentive staff. Within minutes of being seated we had met the assistant who brought sparkling water which was managed very well through the courses of dinner. They have a fantastic wine list with pricing in line to their menu. Our server was attentive and there to make sure that our evening went flawless providing a level of service that one rarely finds anymore. We started with a watermelon salad for my wife and I had the wedge. She stated how much she enjoyed her dish while mine had a very good blue cheese dressing and a nice portion of a fresh iceberg section, along with a nice piece of pork belly. We both had fillet's with her choosing the smaller 8oz portion while I had the barrel cut a 12oz portion. They were cooked to perfection as medium rare with a nice char on the outside. Our side were the potatoes Anna and Brussel sprouts. We really enjoyed our main course. For desert we had coffee and the banana foster which is prepared table side. What a way to cap off a perfect evening. The coffee is what you would expect from a menu where everything is served as a 10, it was full of flavor and hot. The bananas Foster was over the top and why it is the perfect finish to a fabulous evening. Kudos to an establishment where the expectations are high and many know what to expect when walking in. read more

Actually got to eat at this brand new location twice this week...and both times were a surprise! We went in Saturday early just hoping for a seat at the bar, but we were too late...and it didn't look like anyone was getting up anytime soon. We did order a drink and planned to just enjoy the live music for a bit, but Austin (and I'm sorry I forgot his position but he is over all 7 Ruby locations) saw my friend and asked him if we would like to sit in the dining room if he could work it out. Well YES we would like that!!! It's hard to get a reservation here. Not only did he get us in, but we were in a booth. Winning. Peter was our waiter and he went thru the entire menu with us. Started with drinks and I decided on a chicken dish with polenta. OMG good. My partner had steak, and we shared Potatoes Diana. There were to die for...I guess it's a 3 day process to make them but I'll never forget how good they were. My friend mentioned to Austin that we were on a waiting list for Valentines Day but it didn't look like we would make it. So the next day Austin calls and tells him we're in!!! I'm sure he pulled some strings. It pays to know people. So he surprised me with a return 4 days later!!! We scored a booth again and by special request our waiter Peter (he is the BEST)! This time we started with a Winter Pear Salad which was perfect in every way! Then my friend got the chicken I had last time, and I got the filet he had last time! Guess we both were impressed with each others dish. And of course we split the potatoes. The new restaurant is beautiful, filled with Chandliers and artwork. And the service sets the standard for this town. I can't wait to go back, but lets just say I've been eating well this week and need a little break! Operative word being little. You know I will be back, and you NEED to check this place out as well. Tell them I sent you!!! read more
