    We took my dad out for dessert at Jeff Ruby's a couple of weeks ago. We had four desserts and they were fabulous! My personal favorite was the crème brûlée but the chocolate cake, the carrot cake and especially the butter pie were all so good. Our server was very attentive even though we only went for dessert. Highly recommend going to JR for any special occasion!

    The wife and spent our 11th yr anniversary at Jeff Ruby's and it was an unforgettable experience. Bailey our server took great care of us. He really knew his stuff from top to bottom. Really classy guy who dishes out 5 star service. As for the food. TOP SHELF. All of it. I ordered the Cowboy ribeye and it has a unique crust on it so if you dip the steak in ANYTHING you've just messed it up. |The Mac and cheese is what they say it is. Complex and the best ive had. My wife had the Roasted chicken and Garlic Gnocchi which was famous as well. Overall this was an amazing experience and We will be back here soon.

    Still amazing! Service is their hallmark and it is always top notch! Such a special place.

    Jeff Ruby Burger was fantastic.  Not just for kids. It is legit.

    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.

    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!

    Strip and Mac n cheese half eaten

    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.

    Phenomenal dinner spot! Restaurant and bar is amazingly decorated and the food is just as impressive! The crab cake app was just the best! Steak was just perfection! Great selection of wines and bourbons as well. I was to full for dessert but when I saw it come out ... oh my.. that slab of cake was huuuuge!

    Brussel Sprouts

    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!

    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!

    THEE Stadium.  Awesome presentation
    Thomas P.

    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.

    Love coming here! Daniel at the front is so great!…read more This time I got 2 lbs crawfish and 1 lb jumbo clams! Homemade juice extra hot!

    We've gone several times and have always had good service and good food. We went tonight (Sunday)…read morearound 6pm and it was PACKED. Which is a good sign these days. Pretty loud and hard to hear, but that vibe is OK for a boil place to me. Only waited about 15 minutes. Two adults, two elementary kids. I like Lees of all the boil places because they have good options for non seafood people too. Both kids found wings, chicken fettuccini, etc. Started with the hushpuppies, about 12 smallish sized but a perfect starter for 4 people. Came with ketchup, I wish they would do a remoulade option. My wife and I split the duo (snow crab, shrimp) and I decided to add a LB of blue crab. Medium homemade juice sauce (always....it's sooo damn good). Snow crab was really good this time, snappy not bendy like some places. knuckles sweet and not overly briny. Perfectly cooked and came apart and out easily. Shrimp were just a tad overcooked but not much. Potatoes were perfect. We sub +1 tater for the egg. Corn is never good at these places. :) gotta do those fresh not frozen to get it right. The blue crab had good flavor. However, crazy overcooked which made getting meat out damn near impossible. Stringy instead of in chunks and stuck totally to the shell. I mostly gave up. My biggest complaint is they have ZERO typical utensils. No crackers/pickers/hammers/etc. I managed to cut myself trying to get into a snow crab large claw, and the lack of pickers made the blue crab impossible to eat. I'm bringing my own next time....serious. Finished with the fried oreos which were a perfect finish to the meal. 6 oreos for $6 was a great price.
