    Aperol Spritz
    Melissa N.

    Came to celebrate my friends, made reservations for a group of 7. Had the Aperol spritz which was lovely though I thought could use more Aperol. Loved the poke tuna tacos as an appetizer. Half the table got the spicy chipotle pasta with shrimp and we loved it though thought it was spicier than expected. The others were happy with their beef wellingtons. We shared the lotus cookie butter sundae for dessert and couldn't finish. Good portion sizes. Most other tables there seemed to be celebrating something and people were a bit dressed up.

    Me and my girlfriend had a wonderful girls date night out here this past weekend. The patio was perfectly warm and the ambiance was delightfully whimsical and inviting. The twinkling lights and babbling fountain really add such charm to the already beautifully laid out space. Tony was our host and he was equally charming and attentive. I enjoyed the Lavender French 75, I was glad to see one of my favorite classic drinks on the menu. We got the sushi tacos, wings, and fries everything tasted good. The restaurant is just a nice place more than it is a gastronomic experience. It seems ideal for celebrating special occasions, or a romantic date night out (if the classic symbols of romance are what you're into), I'd definitely go back.

    Much better with Aioli on the side!
    Andrea Y.

    Zabi was our server and he was so great! He provided excellent customer service, which was much appreciated I wasn't too pleased with the amount of aioli in my power bowl. There was 'alot' and I was trying to pick around my bowl but it wasn't very good. I told him what happened and he offered to have the kitchen re-make it. That was very nice. When it came back, the aioli was on the side instead. Much better and I barely touched it cuz it was so rich. Sat on the patio underneath the trees and the outside area was nice and pleasant

    We celebrated our cousin, Sweet 16 birthday and was absolutely delightful. The decor the service the ambience was great the food we all enjoyed our many different dishes, Did I say the waiter was absolutely top-tier. My cousin enjoyed her sweet 16. The food was so grade Only thing I didn't like was they didn't have a kids menu but however kids love french fries lol

    Ambiance?... really cozy and classy! Food? Love the food and drinks! They serve big. The quality of the food exceeds everybody's expectations especially the spicy calamari, bone marrow carne asada, street corn and the steaks! Their molten cake is also to die for! Service? it's okay. Overall experience, really good!

    Went here for my birthday and it was super delicious as far as the food, the ambience is really pretty. There's many options to do photos. The drinks were amazing as I had about three however, later that night, I felt ill as well as the following day resulted to having alcohol poisoning. Service was also really great and I'm pretty sure I'll get this place. Another try maybe no alcohol this time.

    Poke Tuna Tacos

    Always a good time at Rubys & Roses. A very aesthetically pleasing restaurant in Pleasanton downtown. Whether you want a nicer family dinner or want to hang out with friends, this is one of the top choices in our area. Outdoor/patio dining in the summer is the best with all the decoration, great for photo ops. The service can be a bit slow at times but it is attentive. The drinks are decent and the food on the most part is pretty good. We go more for the ambiance.

    Service- the service was really good! Came here on Mother's Day for the brunch! Was sat quickly, waitress was very attentive and helpful! The vibe was really cool! Now to the food. They had a prefixed menu for the day which was cool. $60 a person basically. The Caesar salad was pretty good. I went with the French toast because I was having good decision struggles! I wanted it all!! The French toast was really good! I won't stress I had no protein to go with it! They mad French toast just how I liked it. My daughter has the steak, it was good to me. She picked at it! (It was $20 extra!) kids! It has a nice char and was seasoned well. My wife went with the street noodles with shrimp! I tasted it and it was really good! I would order that! The butter and bread was DELICIOUS!! Spa the butter then smash the garlic on it! You'll thank me later!! I would come here again and I recommend to any one reading this!

    Chimichurri Lamb Chops

    We made reservations here for mother's day weekend, as my wife told me this was a sure hit from experience. There's a shared parking lot with a hotel, so things get pretty crowded. Even when there were open spaces, you could park there because a vehicle or 2 were well over the parking stall lines. There isnt any street parking in the immediate area, if im not mistaken so arrive with enough time to park somewhere. There is outdoor seating available which was packed full of patrons enjoying their day. The inside has a sleek dark supper room look and vibe to it. The people dining inside were even dressed differently from the outside guests. We had some drinks that were reasonably priced. Not the best mule I've had this year but I cant complain.. We ordered the tuna tacos and crispy calamari for starters. Both were a great start to the evening. The tuna was fresh and the calamari came with a sweet heat sauce that left its mark on us.. my wife regularly orders lamb chops, so in comparison they held up in taste to many places but the portion size wasn't the heartiest. The salmon dish was a homerun and so was the jambalaya. Im a fan of wellingtons so I had to take the opportunity and I wasn't let down. They use a filet so the size cant be too big, realistically. Mashed potatoes and the sauce complimented the steak for a complete all around dish. We finished with a pineapple upside down cake. Dense but not too heavy with a nice sauce and ice cream on top. Very good experience and I didn't catch our waiter's name(an older latin gentleman) but he was very attentive and treated us like all stars. We appreciate the service he gave us and hope that every waiter lives up to the bar he set for us.

    Chimichurri Lamb Chops
    Steffan A.

    Service was great, rating is just off the food. Portion size of the lamb chops was not something I was expecting for the price I was paying for them. I left still very hungry lol. Mashed potatoes were the highlight of that dish. Poke Tacos were a good starter. I ended the meal with the upside down pineapple cake (I think that's what it was called) which was pretty good. I have a big sweet tooth so I was happy with that. If I ever do come back I'm probably gonna order something different. Maybe the review will change then but for now this was my first impression.

    Creamy Jambalaya

    Our dinner group descended on Pleasanton Thursday night and enjoy dinner at Ruby's and Rose's restaurant. Our poop had a very nice table. There were seven of us and we could've used a little more space but they put two square tables together and see the one of our group on the end. Our server, Arturo was pretty good. He took our orders. He opened the bottles of wine that we brought with us and he also recommended some appetizers and drinks. Several members of our group had the old-fashioned, which was one of the signature drinks they had on their drink menu. We started off with calamari the poke tuna tacos and they were all delicious and I would definitely try them again. They disappeared so fast. I didn't get a chance to take any pictures. The taco order serve served with three tacos per order and the calamari place would rather large for appetizers. We had dishes ranging from myself, the jambalaya, my brother the lamb chop served with mashed potatoes, and some people had the Ramen noodles with shrimp and or chicken. Several members of our group also started off with salad and they split the salad, which turned out to be really big. Most of them were the Caesar. My jambalaya was really good. was a seafood jambalaya. It was also delicious, but I became full rather quickly and had to get the rest of it to go, which I thoroughly enjoyed this afternoon. All in all everybody in our dinner group really enjoyed rubies and roses compliment, not only the chefs and cooks, but also the staff, including our server Arturo. The ambience was really nice. Parking was ample both in front and back of the restaurant. The place was lit well enough and it looked really festive all around the restaurant inside and out. If you're ever in the Pleasanton area, I want to get a really good meal. There's many choices but I highly recommend that you check out Ruby's and roses and I can't wait to return.

    To be honest, this place really only felt like it was for the aesthetic and decor. The food was not bad but it was nothing to write home about and service was really odd all night. I came here for my birthday dinner with my family and I enjoyed the ambiance but that's about it. They forgot things multiple times, like bringing out the appetizer about 10-15 minutes after the main dishes (and having to remind multiple times), forgetting the coffee we ordered, not having any serving spoons, and also forgetting the receipt with our check. It was also not clear what came with the dessert and we had to clarify if there would be sparklers. I don't think I would recommend this spot, although the decor was definitely pretty. We ordered truffle fries, jambalaya, spicy pasta, and lava cake. Again the food good, but was quite average for the prices.

    Beautiful set up. Nice ambiance. My girlfriend has always wanted to try beef wellington so I surprised her and brought her here. I knew it was a little pricey but didn't expect to pay $160 for 2 people. The customer service was alright, don't check much. The filet Wellington was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. Tasted like thanksgiving. I got the lamb chops and they were delicious; i got them cooked medium. The truffle fries were good and the sauce was really good too. Also we got a Caesar salad to share as well. She got a sangria and i got a watermelon margarita both were very refreshing. Overall rating 7/10, we might be back. Ohhh one last thing , i booked the reservation through open table and had stated that it was her birthday and our anniversary and was curious if they did anything for that there. I went to the front desk towards the end it and asked for a dessert to be delivered, i left them with my card to act like i was paying for dinner and they charged me for the dessert, so assigning they don't do birthday or anniversary desserts unless you expect to pay for it. We got the chocolate molten cake that was recommended by the host and it was very chocolatey and rich with a very small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Most portions are small, the salad was the biggest portion size we got out of everything we ordered. It was good might be back for another occasion.

    Vegetarian option or able to customize ? I chked menu and only see only salad for vegetarians

They had gone to their original location in Livermore in the past and were surprised to have found it moved. We had very friendly service and excellent cocktails. If you want to get a Boilermaker, they can get it for you (off of HH) - friend asked what types of whiskey they had and our server pulled out a whole BOOK! Cocktails were all tasty and quite complex. We all really enjoyed them: Brat summer, Frose (they only had one slushie ready - and it was boozy!), Peach Don't Kill My Vibe, and She's Gone Green. I like that they only had low ABV cocktails and mocktails, although your choices are limited to 1 in each category if you can't have grapefruit for medical reasons. We were tempted by the food but were still full from brunch - I have a feeling that we'll be back for those Duck Fat fries!

It's very charming yet fancy at the same time. When we arrived, we were seated immediately. To be fair, it was a slow Monday and there was plenty of seating. We opted to sit outside due to the nice weather. They brought us waters and bread to get started which I appreciated. For drinks, my wife went with the Cab and I chose an old fashioned. Both came out promptly. For appetizer's, keep in mind they're not very large portions and can take a bit to come out. I suggest 1 appetizer will be enough for two people. Order more than you think you need if you're hungry or it's a larger party. Since it was later in the day, we both chose salads for our entrees. They were delicious!

One of the patrons tipped $20 and sang three songs in a row. In comparison, I got one song in in the span of three hours.

    This place was on our list for a long time. And we finally made it with a lot of anticipation. We…read morewent as a large party of 17 people and it was buffet only. Weekends is buffet only for lunch. It was a good option for us as we are a mix of vegetarians and meat eaters, kids and adults. This allows us to taste many dishes without having to order a lot of items. They had setup a large table on one side of the restaurant and this gave us enough privacy to be by ourselves. The service was good but they were refilling the Naans on request. But they cleared our plates and filled water promptly. The food was a good mix and all of us liked it. There were some issues and we pointed it out to the manager and he was appreciative of the feedback. He even offered to give us some samplers to take home. We were already full and so declined. We would definitely go back again if we are in the area.
