A Disappointing Experience from Start to Finish. Save Yourself the Trouble…read more We were a group of 12 celebrating a friend's birthday and had been genuinely excited to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in recent memory. The service was a disaster before we even sat down. Two members of our party, including a 92-year-old woman, arrived first and stood at the entrance for five full minutes without a single staff member greeting or even acknowledging them, and the hostess walked by them twice. When the rest of us arrived, I politely asked the hostess if we could pull over two empty chairs (that were sitting unused right next to our table) to accommodate our group of 12 (I made a reservationfor 10). What followed was baffling. She said she needed to check, then came back and completely ignored my request and half of our party were left standing patiently waiting. I then asked the sous chef directly, same runaround, but this time he chastised me for making the request. My boyfriend asked a third staff member. Also ignored. It took three separate requests before they finally brought out chairs from the back. The condescension throughout this whole ordeal was palpable. The service at the table was equally poor. Our server never introduced herself, never told us her name, and never asked if we needed anything, she just silently poured water and walked away. When we ordered six sparkling waters, only three arrived. When I asked again, she disappeared into the kitchen and came back to tell us they were out. We also had to ask separately for silverware, it was never brought to the table. The menu was shockingly sparse for a "nice" restaurant, three appetizers, two salads, and three entrees (lamb, duck, and market fish). The brisket we saw at another table? Not on the menu because they'd already run out. One of the appetizers was literally store-bought Lay's potato chips with crème fraîche. At a high-end restaurant. I'll let that speak for itself. The entrées were the final letdown. We asked what the fish was and our server had to go ask the chef, it was snapper. Nine of us ordered it. It arrived in small bowls that appeared designed to disguise just how tiny the portion was, think one fish stick's worth of fish. It was clearly a normal portion divided among multiple plates to cover the demand. I had three bites and left hungry. The lamb eaters in our group didn't rave either. The one bright spot, the Johan wine was superb. For the price point and the promise of this restaurant, this was an absolute failure in hospitality, food quality, and basic service. I would not return and cannot recommend it.

This is a great place to meet for coffee or an affordable yet tasty lunch or breakfast. Breakfast consists of a variety of egg sandwiches, breakfast burritos as well as a variety of "scrambles." They pull really good shots of espresso and use my favorite Oregon Roaster--Allann Bros. Coffee. The interior is charming, warm and cheery. Free WiFi, large tables, lots of windows, deck seating, and a drive-Thru is very handy. Good parking for both bicycles and cars. They have used books for sale or just to pick up and read over your coffee. Many organic ingredients are incorporated into the menu, including organic milk, coffee, salad greens, apple cider, spinach, salsa, and tortillas. The best part is the feel of the place. It smells good, the staff is happy and helpful and the place is usually bustling with activity and good energy. Open since 1995. read more

The service is mediocre, the workers that work there just want to get rid of you, and they have messed up my order multiple times. Always forget avocado, have forgotten my soup order three times, and are very impatient when you are deciding what you want. I would recommend going to stim or goodbean over this place. Never again. read more

Since I only had time for about one meal in Ashland, and there are so many interesting sounding places, it was hard to pick one. I chose Ruby's because there is a diner by the same name that I love in Santa Barbara. Also, the menu looked decent on Yelp. The chipotle chicken sandwich featured marinated dark chicken meat topped with fresh tomatoes, red onions, and coleslaw. The flavor of the chicken and the coleslaw was so bomb, and complemented each other perfectly. The bread was kind of like a small French roll. Very soft, fresh, and tasty. It didn't come with any sides, but the price was reasonable, and just the sandwich was enough for me. The inside of the restaurant was very small and cozy. I had planned to go outside when my food came up, but I was so hungry, and it looked so good, I ended up devouring it right there. I barely even had time to snap a pic of half of my sandwich at the "Forever Alone" booth where I was sitting. Staff was friendly and the ambiance was quirky but cute. As a plus, this is a great area to just walk around and explore all the local stores and scenery for a few hours or so. Would def stop by here again if there weren't a million other great sounding places to explore within a quarter-mile radius.

You were able to get hash browns, home fries, pancakes, fruit and there were a couple more options which I can remember. I decided on the pancake being told they were not that big. Well my not that big and our waitresses not the big are not the same. The pancakes were great but I was not a fan of the lemon butter. I did not try the waffle, French toast or eggs Benedict but let's just say no one was talking once the food came to the table. Portion sizes are generous many of us had leftovers.
