There are two dining rooms at this steakhouse. The top dining room is absolutely stunning and beautiful. The colors are incredibly vibrant. The downstairs dining room is nice looking but much darker and far, far less vibrant. I was told the lower room was quieter and it seems much more private than the top level (don't miss the photographs of all the celebrities, actors, etc. near the restrooms). Personally, although we were seated downstairs, I would highly recommend asking to be seated in the top dining room for the best experience. Our food was mostly good to very good. The complimentary bread was very good. My petite filet mignon, with the blue cheese accompaniment, was a little unevenly cooked. Also, while I absolutely love blue cheese, the amount of blue cheese served on top and on the side of the steak was on the massive side. A little blue cheese goes a long way, folks. Don't sleep on the burger. It is very, very good and high quality. Normally, I would never order a burger at a steakhouse but I would at least consider ordering this one. For the sides (which are all shareable), the mac and cheese is wonderful and an absolute must order. The grilled asparagus was outstanding. The mashed potatoes were fairly ordinary. They do cocktails, wine, and mocktails very well here. In fact, the mocktails are excellent and were well appreciated by the non-drinkers among us. They also do desserts very well here. The carrot cake was as big as my big head and very light and flavorful. The buckeye pie, in the shape of Brutus, of course, is a giant peanut butter mouse that was excellent but also incredibly rich. It can easily be split by three or four people. You will roll out of this restaurant if you eat the buckeye pie. I gained 6 pounds just looking at it. Our service was mostly very good. For dress, some people dressed to impress while others wore baseball hats and casual clothes. So, there it is. Overall, we had a very good experience. read more

Jeff Ruby's was one word... Fantastic! Our server was kind patient and attentive! She described any item on the menu that we had questions on. The food was delicious. Everything that I ate was prepared with care. The group I was with shared many appetizers my favorite was the crab cake. Thee buckeye roll was amazing as well! My ribeye was cooked as requested, seasoned well and was a large thick portion. For desert we shared the Air Ruby, I was told that every Jeff Ruby location has their own shoe the location we visited had an air max. Super cute. It was a rich chocolate mousse Since I was with a work function we had a section. But inside they had a pianist and downstairs they have another bar, but I'm not sure if that is part of Jeff Ruby's but it looked like a nice classy time. I think Jeff Ruby's would be great on a date night or a self love night for sure! read more

Service: Our waiter and helping staff were excellent. Talkative and friendly. Joined into conversations and didn't seem rushed or uninterested. I will say charging me $10 for a bottle of water when I asked for regular ice water was a shock, but other than that the night was great. Ribeye was good. Perfectly cooked juicy, tender, fatty ribeye with a good crusting. I personally am not heavy into the fatty almost bland flavor of a ribeye. I enjoy more of a NY strips robust beef flavor but this was excellent. Well seasoned and tender. If you love ribeye this is gonna be one of the best if not the best option in the city. I'd recommended. Butter pie was incredible. This is easily their best dessert. Warm, gooey, rich yet not over done with a scoop of cold in house whipped vanilla ice cream to finish. This was a top tier dessert and one of the best options I've ever had. You couldn't possible skip this. Carrot cake was ok. Large slice with three layers. The carrot cake isn't exactly a carrot cake, but more like a spice cake. If you love spice cakes this is for you. If you're a carrot cake lover like myself, this definitely isn't. The white chocolate ganache was nice, the shavings added a subtle decedent aspect to the intensely spiced cake. This carrot cake was raisin and nut free and seemed carrot free too. Based on that it is supposed to be CARROT cake. I would definitely not recommended. read more

My husband and I came here on the day before Valentine's Day for dinner! Everyone was friendly and we were seated promptly. They had a pianist playing the piano and singing which was nice. The food was pretty good. I was sad this location didn't have the Potato's Anna. But we did enjoy the oysters, our respective steaks and Brussel sprouts and lobster Mac and cheese! read more

One of my favorite steakhouses in the Nation, Jeff Ruby's is phenomenal. Not only do they have the best cuts of beef, but their seasoning & excellence of cook, makes their steaks elite. Hands down the best service you can get in all of Columbus, and every aspect of your experience here will be excellent and memorable. If you want a steak experience you won't forget, you have to come here! read more

Should start by acknowledging this type of very upscale establishment is the opposite of where I'll typically find myself. Of course when your bosses and coworkers are looking for a fine-dining option and you're not paying, well, When in Rome, right? The layout is pretty chic, with chandeliers on the ceiling and the rat pack playing in the restaurant. Not too loud to talk to your seat mates either. Service was unsurprisingly excellent. Our large group had two full-time waiters who were there to meet with our every (reasonable) need. They knew the menu, could provide backstory on how certain items were made, were personable, etc. For my drink, I really enjoyed the Brandon's Old Fashioned. The alcohol was well balanced with espresso liquor and maple syrup. The food was also (unsurprisingly) excellent. We got a bunch of starters to share around the table. One litmus of a solid restaurant is how well they do crab cakes. Spending my childhood in Maryland, I know good crab cakes. So I set my expectations low and was astounded. Huge chunks of crabmeat and not too much breading. Guess you can set your expectations a little higher at a place this upscale. Also enjoyed trying the Oysters Rockefeller I got the cowboy steak for my main. It was good and flavorful but, if I'm being honest, a little underwhelming for the roughly $100 price point. For dessert, I got the Woodford chocolate cake. It was basically a whole cake shaped like a slice - I mean ginormous. Very tasty but wouldn't have minded even more of the woodford flavor to come through. Side note, one of my coworkers splurged on the $75 THEE Stadium. I won't spoil too much but if you're enough of a fan to know what sports team that references, it might just be worth paying that much for dessert. So, yeah, if you're looking to splurge on a fancy dinner that is also a unique and timeless experience (or your bosses are, LOL) this is definitely an excellent option. read more

Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse - Columbus - Steak and Lobster - Steakhouses Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Great experience here! Came in for a celebration. First off, our waiter David was amazing. Incredibly friendly and knew the menu well. One of the best waiters I've ever had. Food was delicious. I had the Atlantic salmon. Delicious but I did think my fillet was pretty small for the price. The California till sushi was amazing too! Mac and cheese stole the show. For dessert we had the woodford chocolate cake which is the best piece of chocolate cake that I have ever had. Restaurant was beautiful, but we were seated in more of a side room not the main dining room. Would recommend requesting the main dining room and not the side room if able in the future. That being said, overall great experience and would definitely come back! read more

First class all the way! We were in town for our annual pilgrimage with over 7,000 Baseball Coaches in attendance. We had a blast in Columbus. On our last evening we decided to try a higher end steakhouse. Jeff Ruby's was our choice. The service was above and beyond our expectations. Our meals were just as satisfying for us old coaches. The bartenders are high end mixologists too! If you're looking for something special to treat yourself I highly recommend Jeff Ruby's! It had a "Gaslight Club/Speakeasy" feel in the downstairs bar & dining area. We loved it! Great drinks! Great Food! Great Service! Great Spot! Check it out & you will be pleasantly impressed too! read more

Jeff Ruby's is not just a fine dining restaurant it's an experience, the only thing that was "just ok" was the mussels. But the steaks and lobster were delicious and that AIR RUBY was amazing, the service was beyond top tier and absolutely everyone was delightful and professional. We now want to go back for the LV purse cake, honestly the best dinner and no negative feelings after a $500 tab. My dad was still talking about Jeff Ruby's this morning, like Bubba talking about shrimp scrubbing floors. read more

Another special night at Jeff Ruby's . The atmosphere is second to none. The bartenders were terrific and as always the food and service were great!

The service, the ambience, the waitstaff; all excellent. , But the star of the show is absolutely the food! We started with kingfish caviar sushi. It was topped with a wasabi crème fraîche. My wife had a proportionate wedge salad, even though the full order was supposed to be shareable. The waiter cut it down for the size that she wanted. Each of us ordered a fillet that was perfectly cooked. We finished the evening with a slice of butter pie and homemade ice cream read more

Now I must say, if you're looking for just any type of steak quality, bring your big bucks because you're gonna pay a pretty penny here at Jeff Rubys. Tucked away close to the Hyatt nationwide area, I decided to hang with a Musician friend of mine coming from out of town and wanted to try their prime rib. Grateful that I wasn't paying the bill lol but that steak was amazing fresh juicy, and made to order like I like it, which was medium rare. The ambience is very classy and the service is very quick. Neat and totally worth the price that you're paying. The parking is a little scarce so you might wanna Uber or carpool going there. That day we had a pianist to give us some music, which was a nice vibe. read more

I visited Columbus for a work trip and was looking for a dinner option for me and my husband. This restaurant was super close to our hotel and my husband is a big fan of steak. I booked a reservation for 5:15pm on a Friday about 2 days before. The other options that were available were 8pm or later. The website did not mention a dress code, but we still dressed up nicer. When we got there, most people eating were in nice casual or business casual. We arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation, but they were still able to sit us right away. The first waiter got us settled with some ice water and cleared the extra place settings. Our main waiter then came and we asked him to share recommendations. He was well versed with the menu and had great recommendations. I appreciated that he was not pushy about getting the most expensive item, but shared varying menu ideas. One thing I did not realize was that the sides are not included with your main course meat option. However, they give you a good size portion and my husband and I were able to split it and still be plenty full at the end of the meal. We received bread as we waited for our food and it was fresh and warm. I ordered the It's Britney, Spritz. The presentation of the drink was beautiful, just ended up not being my favorite drink. I ordered the Petite Filet Mignon and it was cooked beautifully. The char on the outside plus the medium cook on the inside made it quite the experience. My husband and I split the Baked Macaroni and Cheese and it was absolutely phenomenal with the crisp cheese on top and the gooey cheese in the middle. The combinations of the cheese was divine. My husband ordered Grand Champion Miyazki Sunflower Wagyu Filet. It was truly the most unique and exquisite tasting filet we ever had in our lives. You could truly taste the sweetness of the sunflower in meat. During our dinner, the General Manager stopped by and checked in on us. We appreciated that gesture and he was very nice and easy to talk to. Overall, we had an amazing experience and while it is definitely one of the more expensive meals we have had, it was worth every penny. read more

Ummm....Thursday, early dinner around 430, sat at the bar ordered from the full menu, don't be shocked at the prices, they are rich. Live piano player provided the ambience!! Ordered the New York Strip, medium well, cooked to perfection. Steak was meant to arrive with a crab tail but chose mashed potatoes instead, the steak and the potatoes were a great combination. They steak was so tasty and something I actually enjoyed eating. I saw a bottle of steak sauce behind the bar but I cannot imagine anyone ever asking for it. The meal was worth every dollar!! The server behind the bar was very attentive, mind you I was 1 of 2 customers at the bar but she was not overwhelming. read more

We have long wanted to try Jeff Rub's and finally we did and we loved our dinner here. The ambiance of the restaurant is unique and awesome. I had the ribeye with the creole sauce topper and it was excellent and cooked perfectly. The creamed spinach and mashed potatoes (we added a lobster tail because why not) and both were excellent. We split the Roquefort salad which was huge but it was just ok and I wouldn't order that one again. The wine list is excellent (although they didn't have my first choice on their list which was surprising) and the service is top notch. It is pricey and definitely a special dinner opportunity but we will definitely go back. read more

Business meetings in Columbus and we were hungry for something good. We were escorted to the lower level. Our waiter quickly came over and took drink orders. He explained the restaurant and provided several suggestions. Being downstairs, i.e.: the basement, it was kind of dark and no windows. Heck, it was dark outside anyways. The setup is fancy. Menu choices are varied and prices run to some pretty high prices, but probably balanced with other places of this stature. The food was excellent. Same with service. Atmosphere to continue our business discussions was perfect as well. Well done. read more

As an update, I did reach out to the restaurant when I returned to my home state. I gave more information, explained what went wrong and the few things that went right. I never heard from them. Not even an acknowledgment that my email was received and read. My family is no stranger to fine dining and this was not handled well, from the service we received that night, to the lack of follow up from management. Maybe they didn't feel the need to address it because we are from the east coast and there's no opportunity for us to return. If that's the case, shame on them. Every customer experience should matter. I felt it was important to update because they did make a public comment making it appear that they were concerned, but apparently that was just to mitigate the lackluster review, with no real follow up. read more

This place is great! Came in on a Wednesday night to celebrate my daughter's birthday and her graduating with a Masters in Education. The ambiance is that of an old timed steak house, dark and ornate. Music was outstanding, with a mix of Sinatra, big band and jazz. Started with the Espresso martini and smoke old fashioned. Both were very good. I've seen smoked drinks with a better presentation, but the smell was there and the drink was tasty. Ordered a Jordan Cab to go with dinner that was a bit flat, but not bad enough for me to complain. Moved on to the French Onion Soup and tried some sushi. Had the Buckeye roll which was delicious, though the wasabi didn't set my hair on fire. Believe it or not, Kroger has better wasabi with their $5 sushi's! But that's not enough to bring me down either. We had the filet and the Delmonico boneless ribeye. My lord, the steaks were fantastic. So much so, I asked what the seasoning was on the ribeye and was told a proprietary blend of salt, paprika and spices, which they also sell. Got a tin of it that will last me a year! The filet was also very good and came with a bacon jam, that was more like a pork belly jam, which again was crazy good. As good as the meals was the desert. Got a piece of birthday butter pie. This thing just melted in your mouth! No idea how it was made or what was in it, and don't want to know. It is for a special occasion and anytime I can make it to Jeff Ruby's is a special occasion! I believe they started in Cincinnatti and I'm looking forward to a trip there this winter. read more

Such a beautiful place! We loved the ambiance and decore. The service was also very prompt, personable, and knowledgeable. We had the oysters, Rockefeller and tuna tartare to start. The oysters were delicious! The tuna tartare was okay. It didn't have much flavor and really needed a lot more seasoning. The Caesar salad before dinner was very delicious. Can't go wrong with that. My husband had the Tomahawk steak and I had the cowboy ribeye, both were cooked perfectly! We had an amazing experience and will be back. read more

The atmosphere is what the 1920's must have been at the height of decadence and indulgence. One almost expects to see a flapper in a shiny dress, wearing a bandeau, while smoking a cigarette on a long holder around each corner. Beautiful, luxurious decor. Getting back to why one would actually come here...the food. The server was very polite, but not knowledgeable. She said she "know[s] the fish is flown in weekly, but not sure which day of the week" for the sushi dishes. When we asked to speak with the sommelier, she said she could "maybe" find someone to answer questions about the champagne and wine. Then, they did not have the champagnes on their list. Their wine list is good, but one should not get one's heart set on a particular one because it may or may not be on the list. Have backup choices for the wines and champagnes. The bread service is sour dough and rye bread. The French onion soup was very salty, arrived slightly warm (not piping hot), and had an overwhelming taste of thyme. If it were less salty, had less thyme, and hotter, it would have been wonderful. The serving size is perfect, the cheese mild, and the broth was rich. The Brussel sprouts were amazing. The steak was slightly overcooked, but very flavorful. The Bearnaise sauce and horseradish cream accompanying the steak were very nice. The Mac-n- cheese is good, not great. The mashed potatoes were wonderful. Overall, great celebration dinner spot or date night spot. Beautiful setting. A few improvements and it would be a definite five! read more

We went on a calm Sunday night, inside is a classic maximalism luxury steak house feel but with dining areas clustered smaller and higher booths to keep things feeling warm and intimate - and the service was wonderful friendly and personable in a way that would put any customer at ease. The smoked burrata was perfectly balanced with the earthy marinated beets and sweet pistachios, and the braised wagyu beef Marsala was so good I didn't even get a picture of it. Don't overlook it! Made using beef cheek it's incredibly tender, fall apart and rich and with the frisée as a crisp fresh contrast to the mushrooms, hash and celeriac puree, the beef Marsala is a large and hearty dish that needs no additional sides. But having tasted the mashed potatoes and asparagus, if you have room don't skip them. read more

We had a great experience! Jordan, our server, was amazinggg. He was right on time with everything, had good recommendations, and anticipated all of our needs. We had our toddler with us and the staff was very accommodating. They even brought out a cut up banana from the kitchen just for him to snack on. The restaurant itself is gorgeous inside. My favorites of the night were the Godfather Sushi roll , the crab cake, and the butter pie (melts in your mouth). Everything from beginning to end was delightful. (Not pictured, but we also had the thick cut bacon, carrot cake and limoncello tiramisu) read more

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED I'm truly saddened to see the quality at Jeff Ruby's going downhill. I usually visit twice a year, but the last two experiences have been very disappointing. Here's what I ordered this time: * King & Caviar: 10/10 - Absolutely perfect. * Steak & Lobster: 5/10 - I requested medium-rare, but it was served medium-well. The burrow sauce was overly salty. But the lobster was good. * Cowboy Ribeye: 6.5/10 - Over-charred to the point where all I could taste was charcoal. It was also slightly overcooked. * Asparagus: No flavor, tough to chew, and they forgot to bring it out, until I talked with the manager. It took 45 minutes for the main dishes to arrive. As for the service, the server seemed not good mood and unmotivated, giving the impression they didn't care about their work. read more
