Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse, Louisville

We had gone to their competition the night before and while the atmosphere may be better there, the food is miles above better here. I got the same cut, barrel cut filet, so I can give a true comparison. The lobster Mac and cheese was amazing but the star of the show was actually the butter pie. My wife said it was one of the best things that we’ve eaten since we been in town.

Another great stop at Ruby's. Bone in ribeye very good, $99 is a little rough though. A variety of other samplings including a firecracker sushi roll, lobster Mac n cheese to name a few. Only down side is the bread is amazing but the crust will laceration the roof of your mouth, and there was some dude carrying a dog around. Live piano was cool but we didn't stay long enough for the house singer, which is always a treat.

Disappointed is an understatement. My wife and I visited Jeff Ruby’s with another couple last night. They had been talking it up for a long time and we finally made reservations to go. From what they said we were expecting a great experience with even better food. Unfortunately our visit was the exact opposite. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere with good live music. However, when you’re paying the high prices at a place like that, you expect the service and food to be even better. They started with bread service which was lacking. It had an okay flavor but it was extremely hard and crunchy. I’d rank it at the bottom of bread services of similar caliber restaurants in the area. From there we got a wagyu meatball and crab cake. The crab cake was one of the only things that saved this review from a one star. It had a good flavor and a good amount of crab meat. The meatball on the other hand was overcooked and lacking in flavor. The meatballs my wife made for dinner this week with ground beef from Aldi were more flavorful than their wagyu version. We were hoping the main courses would make up for mediocre start. Wed soon find out that wouldn’t be the case. I had a barrel cut filet which was $90. At a restaurant like this, that is to be expected. I don’t have an issue paying a premium for a filet. I do have an issue when it doesn’t live up to its premium price. It was a decent steak but it wasn’t great. I’d give it one star above your local chain steakhouse. My wife ordered their roasted chicken and in her words it was awful. I wish she would have told me about it while we were still there. I would have sent it back in a heart beat. She said it was so dry she chewed for 5 minutes just to get two bites down. The sides were nothing to call home about. The truffle fries were the best side out of the three we had. The Mac and cheese was good but nothing spectacular and the Brussel sprout were lacking. They were really tough and unimpressive. Lastly the service was disappointing. You expect the service to be top tier at a place like this. Our experience was anything but. We hardly saw our sever. Luckily our servers assistant stopped by a few times. When you’re at a place like Jeff Ruby’s you hope that they have a level of service that meets their reputation and menu price. This just wasn’t the case for us. My water remained empty from the start of our main courses until after we had paid our bills. The carrot cake also helped save a 1 star review. That was delicious and a large slice that was more than enough for the table. We weren’t able to finish it all and asked our server to box it up. He brought our checks back, collected payment, then disappeared. We had to eventually flag down another server to get the box so we could leave. Over all our experience was extremely underwhelming. It’s sad because everything looked really good when it came out. We thought it was very overpriced for what the quality of the meal and service we received. I was expecting so much more due to the prestige it has in the community. We were very excited for our first time and we left never wanting to go back. The atmosphere was nice, crab cake was good, and the carrot cake was delicious. Everything was unsatisfactory and disappointing. If I would have known what I know now, we would have gone down the street to Repeal.

Excellent staff, excellent atmosphere and some of the best foods that I have ever had! It was my first time here but the staff was able to help guide me to dishes I would truly enjoy. Portions are generous and great for sharing with the table.

Nice looking restaurant, we went before a basketball game . Its super convenient to walk to the yum center and the staff does a good job of keeping you on time for your event

As a Louisville realtor who is always out and about in our amazing city, I can confidently say that Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse Louisville is one of the best fine dining experiences you’ll find downtown. 🥩✨ From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with impeccable service and a luxurious atmosphere that makes any dinner feel like a special occasion. The steaks are cooked to absolute perfection—tender, flavorful, and exactly what you’d expect from the top steakhouse in Louisville, KY. Pair that with their fresh seafood, incredible sides, and a top-notch wine list, and you’ve got an unforgettable meal. I also love how Jeff Ruby’s adds to the overall lifestyle of living in Louisville. Whether you’re celebrating a closing with clients, hosting out-of-town guests, or just enjoying a night out, this restaurant is a staple that showcases the best of what our city has to offer. If you’re searching for the best steakhouse in Louisville, fine dining downtown, or a special date night spot in Kentucky, Jeff Ruby’s is at the top of the list. It’s not just dinner—it’s an experience that highlights why living in Louisville is such a treat.

My company took us here for a Christmas lunch, and I must say, it was an incredible experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the waitress was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. Everything was perfect! 🤩

From the second I stepped inside the establishment, I knew that we were potentially in for a treat and the whole experience didn’t disappoint! The food & service was perfect! We cannot wait to return. Huge shoutout to Johnathan, our server.

Food is on point as always. Had to ask like 10 times for bread, service could use improvement for the price im paying. Setting is nice.

We had a great time at Jeff Ruby's. It was certainly an experience that we enjoyed. Nothing special tonight, just my wife, son, sister, and BIL. Jonathan and Emily took great care of us! Not pictured are the amazing Brussels sprouts side and the mushrooms side. We came for the steak and lobster special but immersed ourselves in sushi, crab cake that I love but the rest of my family wouldn't normally enjoy eating but they tried it. The desserts were off the charts. The JR Cigar dessert is served very cold and covered. When uncovered it appeared to be "smoking"! Very potent bourbon taste but was very good. That huge chocolate espresso cake was so big. Biggest "piece" of cake I've ever seen served! I'll be back. The staff were so professional and courteous which enhanced the experience.

My wife and I dined here two Sundays ago expecting the level of excellence Jeff Ruby's is known for and priced for. To be fair, several parts of the evening were very good. The pork belly appetizer was excellent, my wedge salad was spot on, and my wife enjoyed both of her sushi rolls. Our server was also exceptional--attentive, professional, and exactly what you expect from a high-end steakhouse. Unfortunately, the most important part of the meal--the steak--was a major disappointment. My steak, which cost $102, arrived with a burnt, overly crispy exterior that completely took away from the quality of the cut. At this price point, that simply should not happen. Because everything else was generally good, I initially left a three-star review. After that review, a manager (assistant manager) publicly replied asking me to reach out so the issue could be addressed. I did exactly that--twice. I called once and left a voicemail, waited two days with no response, then called again and left another message. As of now, I have not received a return call. That lack of follow-up is honestly more disappointing than the burnt steak. Posting what feels like an automated or scripted response and then failing to follow through gives the impression that customer feedback is acknowledged publicly--but not actually valued privately. If Jeff Ruby's wants to be considered the top restaurant in Louisville, it needs to act like it at every level: food quality, accountability, and follow-through. When a guest spends hundreds of dollars on a "special" night out, ignoring them after asking them to reach out is not acceptable. I truly wanted this experience to end on a positive note. Unfortunately, the failure to address a legitimate concern has left a lasting negative impression.

One of the worst steak both my wife and I ever had in any steak house. Service was great, ambiance was really nice. Steak terrible. Fortunately they removed the steaks from our bill, but wine, appetizer, and sides were still around $170 plus a tip.

Consistently solid - best steakhouse in the city. Convenient location with valet parking, beautiful and unique space. I always order the filet and it always amazing. I've tried the others - Repeal, Steak & Bourbon, etc - and while they're good, they just don't compare to Jeff Ruby's. We also brought two of our young children with us during the last visit and not only do they offer a great kids menu, but also crafts for them to enjoy. Also, had a sushi roll during our last visit and it was absolutely phenomenal. Nothing quite like a night out at Jeff Ruby's!

Singing high praises for Jeff Ruby's in Louisville. Thank you to Johnathan and the rest of the service staff for an incredible night. Our server Johnathan was so kind, personable and professional. I did not know that service could be this comfortable and classy. The recommendations and trip around the menu landed us with a splendid sushi dinner, highlighted for me by a massive prawn cocktail. But we were came for the shoe! Yep. Pastry Chef Kelly Zeigler brought us a golden replica of an air Jordan made of the most magical chocolate cake and mousse. It is worth it. It comes with a two sauces, berry and caramel that elevate it to the moon. We will be back again. Thank you Jeff Ruby's Louisville for the visually stunning night from interior design to shoe. Everything tasted grand.

Amazing food fantastic service absolutely I will recommend it 10 out of 10 it's 10 we will be back

Jeff Ruby's is a wonderful steakhouse in downtown Louisville. They have valet parking. Since it was my birthday, I decided to Uber. It is definitely the top steakhouse in Louisville and compete in the same space with other cities they offer a great selection of oyster on the half shell. served with a wonderful mignonette and cocktail sauce. They have a great shrimp cocktail as well. The shrimp are plump and flavorful. Of course they have a great steak, but my choice was Dover sole this time. It was amazing. I'm already ready to go back to have more. The side that we chose was the macaroni and cheese, which is also incredibly well-made. It definitely satisfies my fix for macaroni and cheese without having to make it myself. I enjoy sitting at the bar. It's a very vibrant restaurant. All the servers are wonderful. I have to give a shout out to Maggie for helping us. Enjoy a wonderful experience and meal at Jeff Ruby's.

I had an OK experience at this Louisville location. I have been to Jeff Ruby's locations throughout Cincinnati and had phenomenal experiences. Their dedication to great hospitality is very high. This Louisville location seems to not have similar standards. I ordered takeout at the bar and the wait was about 45 minutes, which was not a problem. I got home and they had forgotten to include my dessert (crème brule) and they do not answer their phones. I called and left a message (Wednesday), no one ever returned my call. I called the next day (Thursday) to let them know and was told the manager would call me back. They still haven't (Saturday). I was in Nashville on Thursday and was going to visit but they seemed to struggle to rectify this situation in general so I decided against it. Very bizarre ... I would at least appreciate a refund for the dessert at this point. Lesson learned, never again will I leave a restaurant without checking my takeout bag.

Definitely a splurge spot, but totally worth it for a special night out. We came with close friends we travel with every year and everything -- from start to finish -- was flawless. The food was perfect, the service was even better, and we felt genuinely taken care of the entire time. The highlight of the evening was dessert. We sampled a few options for the table, but the unanimous favorite was the butter pie -- so good we ordered another one and even took one to go. Expensive, yes. But if you're celebrating or just want to treat yourself, this place delivers in every way.

Made a reservation for 8 for a friend's birthday celebration. Tried to add 2 people to the reservation and was told that could not be accommodated. While we were there they did let us pull up a chair to add one more. The waiter was nice--he had a helper that stayed on top of water refills and check-ins. We ordered a ton of food and some drinks. After we had eaten it felt very rushed and they didn't offer a dessert menu or anything for the birthday girl. Reservation was at 6 and by 8 they were pushing us out.

How is it possible to rank the subtleness between steakhouses. Well, Jeff Ruby's is just darn great. Very lively(aka loud) but what steakhouse isn't? Service is professional and sustained. Refills, check-ins, attentive. The filet (I know, boring, right) is maybe the best I've had. Truly tender and perfectly cooked. Got a couple scallops on the side. Sushi appetizers in Louisville! Perfect.

I suggest sitting at the bar. The service is direct, it's the same menu, and the bartenders are a riot. I'm reasonably confident we were steered to the bar because we were underdressed for the location, but that's ok - we were happy. All the food lived up to expectations, there are a few gems on the wine list, and the cocktails are well-built. When you conjure up a steakhouse in your mind, this is it. We would go back.

Favorite meal in town, especially for special events! Took my gf there for her birthday, we were each first-timers. Ruby's blew us away! The menus had her name printed on it, and the end they surprised us with a custom in-house Louis Vuitton molded cake! It tasted stupendous, filled with strawberry icing and french vanilla cake w/ lemon bobas. Our jaws hit the floor, and it caught the eyes of several nearby diners. Cool! As for the food in-between, it was all excellent. MUST-TRY their macaroni and cheese, no joke... it tastes like your grandma made it :) Their $100 Cowboy steak is expensive, but works well as a split entree to spread your benefit. They are 70-day dry-aged, and this was my first time trying that approach... I really liked it. Great flavor and perfectly cooked! For the sushi, get the Ruby Roll... it's a surf-and-turf rolled into a sushi. Lovely. As for the place, it's got a great "Gatsby" inspired vibe that's super fun! My friend used to work there, and I know that lots of celebrities visit... so you might spot someone famous. Ruby's became our favorite meal in town... can't wait to return!

Ate at the bar. Retro chic with 1920s art deco meets 1980s funk. Meal was good. Collinsworth steak was just ok. Wish it had more king crab meat. Bearnaise sauce was a tad sour for my liking. Not the best filet mignon I ever had. Mixed drinks were spot on though and the free sourdough bread was delicious with the truffle butter.

Wow!! Food is fantastic, the service great, and big red piano provided perfect background music. It is not inexpensive, but the quality is top notch. We all loved our starters, steaks, and desserts. If you can get in, it's a great place for a fantastic meal!!

Fantastic experience from service to food and drink. Pleasantly surprised at how good the sushi was considering its main focus is clearly on steaks. Available steak cuts and accompaniments were plentiful to say the least. Couple of us got the dry aged cowboy steak and downed all of it. Green beans were spicy and probably the favorite out of all sides, although the lobster mac was a standout as well. Lastly, desserts were beyond decadent. Our favorite was the espresso chocolate cake amongst the ice cream and cookie and banana bread that we also ordered.

As a rule, I very much enjoy steakhouses, but I also find them to be overrated--I can make a damn fine steak at home for a third of the cost and at least equal quality. But I generally go for the experience anyway--excellent service, delicious sides, vibrant ambience. When it comes to Ruby's, though, it's always well worth the trip, and there's nothing overrated about it. First, the food is excellent. Top-quality steaks always perfectly cooked. Amazing seafood. Sushi is a fun addition, and quite tasty. Sides are awesome. And they have some killer deserts. Cocktails and wine list at top of the line. Service is unparalleled. Attentive, helpful, professional at every turn. Atmosphere is amazing. Lively, classy, good music, vibrant bar area, private dining areas. First class experience in every way.

We were staying at the Galt House for a few days, and as I headed up to one of their meeting rooms on the third floor, I noticed that Jeff Ruby's was in the attached building. One of our plans while we were there was to celebrate my husband's birthday the previous week, so we made a reservation and went for dinner on a Thursday evening. Everything was outstanding. From the service, to the ambience, to the food, we loved it. We both had surf and turf, and I can't imagine a better meal. Our server brought my husband a special birthday treat for dessert, which was a nice added touch!

We tried this place for our anniversary with our three year old daughter. They sat us in a cool red room with romantic lighting. They have a kids menu, which my daughter appreciated. She enjoyed her mac and cheese. We ordered it with asparagus and fruit. Unfortunately, they sent out fries and fruit. But, our waiter quickly fixed that. We tried the Miami roll as an appetizer. It was excellent. Great combination of flavors. My wife ordered the petite filet and I ordered the Lobster Burrow. It was a 6oz filet and 6oz lobster tail. Both were very tasty and cooked to our liking. They gave us a complimentary dessert for our anniversary and even gave our daughter a serving of ice cream. Fantastic customer service and great food.

This was my second visit to Jeff Ruby's, and once again, it exceeded all expectations! I was in the area celebrating my birthday and we decided to stop in for dinner. Even though it was a busy Saturday night, we were seated within 15-20 minutes without a reservation and that's pretty impressive! I ordered the Bourbon Filet (no crispy onions) and it was absolute perfection! I left no crumbs behind! The Hennessy lemon drop was smooth and well-balanced, and the butter pie? Simply divine. Brittany and Graham, along with another attentive team member (didn't catch her name), provided phenomenal service. Every detail was taken care of with warmth and professionalism. I also appreciate the manager actively checking in with guests. It's rare these days and really speaks to the standard of excellence they uphold. From the impeccable food and drinks to the top-tier service and inviting ambiance, everything about Jeff Ruby's is 5-star. I can't wait to visit again.

Stopped in for a client dinner, ended up having one of the best meals of my life! Tuna appetizer was far better than I've had anywhere else, steak was incredible and the service was AMAZING.

Loved the atmosphere, the staff was great, my husbands food was fantastic. The only note I'm going to add is I got the braised beef cheek and the pureed celeriac was cold which made the beef cheek chilled also. Also, the frisée salad was not dressed.

The food was mostly delicious. The service was a little smug. My husbands favorite thing we ordered was the tempura shrimp roll. The pork belly was very tender. The filet was very yummy. We had the biggest piece of chocolate cake I've ever seen. It was all very decadent. I would go back.

Just go. After a day of bourbon distilleries, I figured I had earned a steak. Went to JR; sat at the bar as I wasn't dressed in any snazzy attire (and had zero problem.) The service at the bar was probably the best bar service I've ever received. Multiple people checked on me while I was seated, the food came quick, and the team behind the bar made great suggestions. These guys even came over to me to say that the bread service would be delayed.... That's next level folks. I had the burger and fries and it was solid. Reasonable prices and a solid number of options. I'll be back without question.

What can I say! It's Jeff Ruby's! Always an awesome time. Love sitting at the bar. Great food and service but you get what you pay for!

Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse in Louisville has a reputation for dining, and on a recent visit as a solo business traveler, I found the praise well deserved. Recommended by a local a few trips ago, I made it a point to stop in this time and I'm glad I did. Arriving early, I was greeted warmly by the hostess. For a moment it seemed seating might be an issue, but they quickly found a table for me, treating me no differently than if I had been part of a large celebratory party. That attentiveness set the tone for the evening. My server, Emily, guided the experience masterfully, offering thoughtful recommendations without pretension. The meal began with a generous basket of warm bread and butter substantial enough to stand as a course of its own. The blue crab bisque that followed was rich, velvety, and indulgent, its sweetness balanced perfectly with the hearty bread. For the main course, I selected the bourbon filet, a dish that could have carried the night on its own. The steak was flawlessly executed, charred just enough to give it character while remaining tender and deeply flavorful at the center. Accented by shrimp, sauce, and potatoes, the plate was cohesive yet never overdone each element amplifying the star of the show rather than competing with it. What struck me most, however, was the atmosphere of inclusivity mostly because of Emily. Dining alone in this kind setting can often feel awkward, but at Jeff Ruby's I never once felt like an afterthought. The service, ambiance, and culinary execution combined into an experience both elevated and comfortable. Jeff Ruby's Louisville is not a place to put off visiting. For anyone in town whether on business or leisure it's a destination worthy of an evening. I can't wait to come back and bring my wife.

Sushi and vibes are solid but my filet was severely overcooked last time I was here. I'd go with other spots over this for fine dining, despite being a staple in the Ohio Valley.

As someone from Los Angeles who appreciates a good meal and polished service, I came into Jeff Ruby's Louisville with high expectations--especially after dining at The Precinct in Cincinnati, which was excellent. Unfortunately, this experience was a complete trainwreck from start to finish. Let's start with the pork chop: horrific. Dry, bland, and somehow both overcooked and tough. The crab bisque? More like a creamy soup with zero trace of crab--maybe it passed by a crab once in the kitchen. Dessert was lackluster and forgettable, like something you'd get at a hotel continental breakfast. And the bread? Burnt to a crisp. But perhaps the most unsettling part of the evening was the service. The servers moved and spoke like robots--scripted, emotionless, and awkward. No warmth, no personality, and certainly no sense of hospitality. Jeff Ruby, if you're reading this: I strongly suggest you remove your name from this location. It does a disservice to your brand. Louisville deserves better--and so did I.

As a Californian, I've had my fair share of great steakhouses--but Jeff Ruby's in Louisville? Next level. I loved it so much, I went twice in the same trip. The whole experience is something else. The second you walk in, it feels like you've stepped into a high-end, old-school supper club where every table has a story. The crowd is a total "who's who" vibe--polished, energetic, and full of character. It's upscale without feeling stuffy, and the service is as sharp as the suits walking by. Now the steak--incredible. Cooked perfectly, seasoned right, and just melts in your mouth. You can tell they take serious pride in the quality of their cuts. And then... the dessert. I couldn't resist trying both the Michael Jordan shoe cake and the Louis Vuitton cake--and yes, they're as over-the-top and amazing as they sound. Rich, creative, and somehow not just a novelty--actually delicious. Instagram-worthy and worth every bite. Jeff Ruby's made a serious impression on me--this spot delivers on food, atmosphere, and personality. A must if you're in Louisville, even if you're just passing through. I'd come back in a heartbeat. And yes, I'll probably order both cakes again.

Yoooo...so good. The Australian wagyu was excellent. Mac and cheese was next level. Asparagus was perfectly salted. 10/10. And the butter pie was so good...it's hard to describe. Way more moist than a typical blondie. Soft. Divine.

As an international traveling food critic and unbeknownst to the staff, the following is what I experienced: + Very comfortable and energetic atmosphere. + Quality of food was exceptional high with nothing but the finest of meat, seafood, and vegetables. + Extensive bourbon & wine bar. + Bone-In Cowboy was superb! - Lobster Gnocchi was fishy and returned to the chef. + Management corrected the issue appropriately. - Server Jade was a bit unenthusiastic and not as attentive as she should've been. She carries too much arrogance to be in this type of work. If you are in the area and don't take the time to dine here, you missed out on a fine experience.

One of Louisville's finer restaurants, this place will be a great dinner for folks. All the meat entrees were a finer quality beef selections. The sides and desserts all were excellent. Maybe a (4) dollar sign level of pricing. But at least you won't be disappointed in what comes to the table.

We arrived a few minutes early, they came to the setting area right away and ushered us to our table, it was a bit load but people were having a great time. So it's going to be loud, we went to a room with 3 other groups, was very nice the decor was Churchill downs theme, was nice, the steward was very nice and the helper was on it through the entire time, my wife had the Roasted Chicken Breast which she said it was very good, I and a few others had the barrel-cut filet, my granddaughter had the petite filet, she wanted it medium but unfortunately it came out rare, and she's new at the eating at places like this so she didn't say much to the steward about it, I shared mine with her, my daughter had the Stone CrossFarm Pork Chop, we shared the Mac and cheese, creamy potato's, and the green beans and they where all good, all and all it was a great Birthday gift! Oh they have valet service don't park in the parking garage!

You sit is a lover's place the servers treat you like royalty the food is wonderful and you pay through the nose. But what a way to go!

My coworkers and I came here for a Christmas dinner and immediately we were impressed with how festive the inside looked. We were treated with warm faces from valet to the front desk. Our amazing server was very knowledgeable about all of the food options for the day and took note of my sesame allergy. We had another person with a gluten allergy and he happily brought her a gluten-free menu. We enjoyed almost everything on the menu and would do it again twice! There was nothing that we did not like. I wish we had room in our stomachs to finish the bread, but literally everything was great, from the Ruby Roll to the steaks to the crème brûlée. The manager was also introduced herself, which was nice because the night we went it was very busy, but we still received our food in a timely manner. I would definitely love to visit again and try some more items on the menu!

From ambiance to service, every aspect was top notch. We had John and Jaylen as our servers. They were very attentive. The food was amazing! Definitely will be back when we are in the area.

I have found another steak house that is over-the-top can I only give five stars fabulous. From the second we walked in until the we walked out, we felt the amazing experience of being at Jeff Ruby's. We waited for just a few minutes and then brought to our seat. This place was elegant-rustic with a positive vibe of energy throughout. There was someone at our table within seconds to greet us, bring water and menus. You could just feel the profesioanlism in the air. My wife and I had reviewed the menu in advance of our visit so we knew exactly what we were having. We both loved the artwork hanging and everything here added to the experience. I had stopped by the sushi bar entering and a very proud chef discussed the various roles. Our experience: Appitizers: Miami Roll: Tuna, Salmon, Yellow Tail, Hokkaido Scallop, Mango, Cucumber, Grilled Pineapple relish, Chili Oil, Soy Crepe Onion Soup: Delish broth with a wonderful coating of Guyre cheese Entrees: 8oz Filet Mignon Mediterranean Bronzino: Herbed Couscous, Swiss Chard, Almond Romesco Sides: Baked Potato Brussel Sprouts Desserts: Cheese Cake Everything we ate was AMAZING! Sushi - delicious - Steak delicious - Fish - Delicious. I could not recommend this food enough. Dining should be an experience and at Jeff Ruby's it was. This venue should be a "must visit" for anyone who considers themself a fine diner. Jeff Ruby's does this with a passion for perfection. Without a doubt, JR is one of the finest restaurants I have ever had the pleasure to dine at. The staff here is as professional as a staff can get. They just can't do enough for the guests. KUDOs to the Team at Jeff Ruby's.

Food, service, ambiance- all of it was excellent. I was so impressed with everything from start to finish. Our server Karen was amazing and took such good care of us. Tony went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. I'm truly overwhelmed at how this restaurant exceeded our expectations. Thank you for a great night!

Unfortunately, we only found this place after we arrived so we were unable to get a reservation. However, the staff gave us a tour of the facility before it was opened and wow, what a place it was so cool and historic absolutely love the layout and the decor. We came back in the afternoon for a couple of drinks and the service continue to be outstanding. Looking forward to coming back here and making a reservation for a full dinner in the future

Price to star ratio is a 2.5 My girlfriend gnocchi with Lobster was really good up until she took a bite and she had a hair in her throat.... My steak was good but I live in Paducah and I have to compare it to Does, so it was sub standard to Does and Does is cheaper. The service was good but Jeff Ruby's is suppose to be the best steak in the state, it simply wasn't. I usually give high reviews but I feel like this is an overrated place for what you get. I'm glad I got to experience Jeff Rudy's though the food was good and I enjoyed to upscale experience...but overrated

This place is absolutely amazing. The decor is very fancy. The service was top notch with several people checking on us throughout our entire meal, always with a smile on their face. The flavor of the food was so good. I had the New York strip and it had so much flavor and was very tender. I was with six other people, and they all raved about the food.

Best Burger ever, servers were very nice and quick, we went into the quiet room because our child doesn't like loud noises and he loved it.

I've had some amazing food while here, but I've got to say this place is chef's kiss. Words that come to mind, quality of everything. From the minute you're seated to the end of your meal, you will be impressed. The meatball appetizer was delicious, every bit. For your main course why not get the cowboy, it was cooked to perfection. All the sides are shareable. You will not be disappointed. In order to appreciate the ambiance, you must see for yourself.

Took my mom to Jeff Ruby's to celebrate her birthday. This was my first time trying this restaurant since I no longer live in the area. The food was really great, very flavorful and filling. I only had one drink, a paper plane, but it was perfect. Justice who initially greeted our table was very welcoming. Our server Karen was nothing short of amazing! She was attentive to all our needs, provided great recommendations and was patient when one of our guests arrived very late. I appreciated the manager coming over to check on us and ensuring we had everything we needed. I do plan to come back the next time I'm in town visiting. I do wish the music was a little softer but other than that the ambiance was good!

Reasons to go: This feels like a special event kind of place with very dramatic decor, and walls lined with celebrity photos. A place to be seen in Louisville. The food is spectacularly presented. The service was truly outstanding. Reasons to skip: The food was subpar, despite the presentation. We ordered three courses but found nothing to love. The most memorable moment was the pork belly on the wedge salad.

A staple amongst my sisters and I - if there is a reason to celebrate this is where we are going! Jeff Ruby's has gotten us through some great times (birthdays, promotions, graduations) and has also gave us a smile at some of the worst, funerals. We always love coming in and know just about exactly what we will order. A dozen Chesapeake oysters, a Freddie salad, steak and potatoes and a martini! The only thing really up for discussion is the second size, potentially a sushi roll and the type of cocktail. We changed it up this go around as they removed their crème corn and added Szechuan Green Beans. While the option seemed fun and a good option in the moment we wouldn't order these again. They were good, but they do not complement the menu really as this is the only dish of that sorts. I would choose the mushrooms over the beans if you want to complement a steak. Service was great and as usual the manager on hard was walking around and checking on everyone. Great dining, just not the biggest fan of their menu change, I miss the creamed corn.

If Frank Sinatra were still alive, this would be the place I would expect to see him. Over-the-top opulence - crystal chandeliers, red velvet, and flowers everywhere. This is one of those oldies but goodies steak houses that serve fish as good as any seafood restaurant. Although the Caesar salad was nothing special, the sea bass was cooked to perfection. The sides were hit or miss - the lobster mashed potatoes had HUGE pieces of lobster (YUM), but the heirloom carrots were undercooked. The carrot cake was monstrous but nothing special, but the butter cake was phenomenal. Our service was just OK, but we were not in the main dining room, rather the red velvet one. If it were any smaller, I would have had claustrophobia. And because it was off to the side, I think our service suffered also. Still, it was a delicious evening, and we'd definitely try it again.

Love, love, love it here! The service at Jeff Ruby's is unmatched (shoutout to Chad and Deja for a wonderful evening). No detail goes unnoticed and everyone seems to be treated like a king and queen here. Food and drinks are of course, fantastic and offer a wide variety of options outside of the steaks. However, our steaks were cooked to perfection and you should order one : ) The restaurant is very lively but not overwhelming. The live band behind the bar is a nice touch and very unique. I would highly recommend for a special occasion, you will not regret it!
