    What a fabulous restaurant. We went to my husband's birthday. The restaurant has a fabulous ambience and the food didn't disappoint. Everything was cooked and served perfection Our service was amazing. A special shout out to a fantastic waiter Jeremy

    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!

    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.

    Came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. Staffs were very nice, lovely place, lots of mirrors, very vibrant. Service was amazing, food was delicious, my fave was the crabcakes- the best! Def recommend.

    Food and service are top notch. Jeff Ruby's is great for a special occasion. Servers are very knowledgeable and can provide great recommendations. I LOVE their moscato as well.

    California Roll
    Nick M.

    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!

    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!

We started with the king crab brûlée, which was as good as it sounds -- rich, a little indulgent, and gone faster than we planned. The Wagyu flight was outstanding across the board, but the Japanese A5 was on another level entirely-- borderline unfair to the rest of the plate. Sides don't always get the spotlight, but the creamed spinach absolutely deserves it. If all vegetables tasted like that, I'd have made better life choices years ago. The potatoes Anna were also excellent --crispy, buttery, and exactly what you want them to be. Dessert sealed the deal. The honey butter cake was fantastic -- warm, rich, and worth saving room for (even if you think you don't have any left). My only "complaint," if you can call it that, is I was hoping to see a bananas foster on the menu -- but I'll survive. Overall, a great meal, great atmosphere, and a place we'll definitely be back to.

The service we received was on par with all the other Cameron Mitchell restaurants (fantastic). I always like to try an old fashioned whenever I'm at a new restaurant and Butcher & Rose did not disappoint. When trying to decide on entrees, our waitress described the lobster roll as fresh, buttery and delicious so that's what I went with. Unfortunately, it was just a basic bun with basic lobster and a side of melted butter. I had been so looking forward to trying it, however there was no finesse or excitement to the dish. After the disappointing lobster roll, I decided to go all in for dessert and order the creme brûlée. It more than made up for my disappointing entree. It was beautiful, creative and most importantly, DELICIOUS. It was a great lunch despite the disappointing lobster roll and I will definitely be back for dinner service.
