Little Ruby's West Village

I went here with a friend for dinner and the experience was overall amazing. Our server was very friendly and accommodating and made really good recommendations. If you like drinks that are on the sweeter side, I recommend the old fashioned draft that they offer. For food, the eggplant dip is a tasty appetizer and the chicken schnitzel was really good for a main. I recommend making a reservation in advance as it can get crowded. Looking forward to returning and trying some other dishes!

Cute corner diner with a wide selection of familiar options with a twist. The green egg bowl was unique with kale and peas. But the grilled cheese side dish was the star! Bloody Maria was tasty! The patio area was closed in for the winter and temperatures were comfortable. Servers were on point and friendly. Quiet enough to talk despite a full house, likely due to the plant decor throughout that baffled the sound.

I was pleasantly surprised by this spot in the West Village! I wasn’t sure if it would live up to the hype, but I was genuinely impressed by their menu, the freshness of the ingredients, and how delicious everything tasted. The Brussels sprouts are an absolute must-try—definitely a highlight and so good that they’ll keep me coming back! The restaurant is in a great location with a cool vibe, and it has a downstairs area, so there’s more seating than it seems at first glance. That said, I recommend booking ahead because otherwise, you might have to queue. All in all, a fantastic experience. Highly recommend—and don’t skip the Brussels sprouts!

Hospitable and attentive staff. The hostess was welcoming- my party of two was politely told there would be a 10 minute wait, and we were seated right after 10 minutes. We split the ricotta pancakes and the avocado toast bowl. Service was fast. Texture and flavor of our dishes were on point. I highly recommend for a convenient and cutesy west village brunch.

i tried the pesto pasta first time i went and it was really delicious. the sweet potato fries and the white sauce is a must have. but the second time i went, the pasta was kinda stuck together and not as good as last time. also, waiters are super nice! i def recommend this place

Came here with friends on Halloween after the parade. Ofrenda across the street has a bit of a long wait time, so I decided to come here. Didn’t know what to expect, I was told by the waitress outside that it’s an Australian restaurant. I gave the hostess my number she said in 10 minutes the table would be ready. With they finally messaged me that they’re ready for us, it was an even longer wait inside. Seemed very disorganized and chaotic there were people coming in and getting seated immediately; meanwhile, my friends and I were told to wait to the side. The server was friendly and the food was great. My friend and I ordered the calamari and we loved it, the dipping sauce was amazing and the calamari was cooked to perfection. My other friend was a bit hungrier than us, she ordered the pasta and she said it was good. The drinks seemed way overpriced so I didn’t order one, only one of my friends did and he said it was okay tasting. On the other hand, I found the food very reasonably priced. Overall it was a good experience, if I come back it would be for happy hr.

Cute place. Came for lunch on a Thursday and it was packed! Thank goodness we had a reservation. My shrimp and avo salad was delicious, fresh and lightly dressed. My drip coffee was fine. Service was attentive but felt rushed. I guess being that busy and popular it’s expected but still.

Little Ruby's Cafe is a nice, cozy spot to have a meal at. The warm ambiance and the candle lit tables make this a nice date spot. The pastas were nice, but they were not necessarily out of this world. Adding grill chicken was an extra cost, and they didn't include much. The shrimp pasta was an average experience, but it wasn't the worst thing to eat. The sweet potato fries were better than I thought. Overall, I enjoyed my dinner

I came here with a reservation at 3:15pm for a late lunch on a Thursday with my family. I have heard a lot about Little Ruby's and how popular it is so I was very excited to finally try it. Even though we came at such an odd time on a weekday, the place was still very full and people were waiting to get tables outside. We arrived on time and were led to our table immediately without waiting. This restaurant is the epitome of cute: the natural wood colors, the greenery, the large windows and high ceilings make it feel so open and fresh. The ambiance was very trendy and nice which I really appreciated-- it reminded me of one of those nice healthy restaurants that they have in LA so for me there was a hint of nostalgia. Our waitress came by to take out orders for food and drinks. I got a matcha latte with whole milk which was divine since it was made with ceremonial matcha and did not have any added sweetness. For food we tried: - Kale salad: I ordered this as my main and absolutely loved it! It came with a giant pile of freshly and thinly chopped kale, a delightful nutty/citrusy dressing, umami pecorino, and beautiful crunchy texture from the pumpkin and sunflower seeds. There were also little hints of sweetness from very thinly sliced pear that were so subtle. I added some grilled chicken to it for extra protein which was very good and also avocado for some healthy green creaminess. Would come back just for this! -Chicken and avocado salad: my parents ordered this and enjoyed it a lot. This is another popular salad option. I didn't try this one but they really enjoyed it. The portion seems a little smaller to me than the kale one. - Creamy chicken pasta: my mom got this pasta and let me try a little. Perfectly al dente, with this very subtle cream sauce that reminded me a lot of Alfredo pasta. The flavor was good but we were expecting more of a creamy tomato (because of sundried tomatoes) as opposed to more cream heavy and just a little bit of tomato. Overall still good. - Spicy vodka pasta: phenomenal! Perfectly al dente and with the perfect amount of vodka sauce. The flavors were perfectly balanced: the acidity, the sweetness, the spice, the creaminess. Truly a well executed staple. - Ricotta hotcakes: we split this for dessert since they serve breakfast food until around 4pm. This was one of my favorite dishes of the evening. The pancakes were so fluffy and thick, and had the right amount of sweetness with the maple syrup and bananas. Some of the best ricotta pancakes I've had! Overall, I loved Ruby's and can absolutely see what the hype is about. The ambiance is really cute and trendy, the food is phenomenal, and the prices are very reasonable for the city. This location is also excellent in the walkable heart of West Village with a lot other fun activities around. Definitely want to come back for brunch and to try many more of their dishes.

Oh my!!! This place is a must visit in New York. The prices for these dishes were great and the food was yummy! Service was extremely nice apart from one of the hostesses at the front. Was a bit rude and dismissive. Our waitress was super kind and made sure our table had everything we needed. The vibes inside were soo good. The lighting was dark to create more of an intimate bar vibe but not too dark that you couldn't see the people at your table. There was also such good music playing. Loved it! Food: - whipped eggplant dip: 3.8/5 stars. Personally not my favourite but it was good. Thought it was pretty salty and small portion for what the price was. Came with bread too. Small to share and we ordered for a table of 5. - Brussels sprouts: 5/5 stars!!!! I loved these. They were seasoned to perfection and I could've easily eaten this entire thing myself. - creamy chicken pasta: 5/5 stars. This was the better pasta out of the two in my opinion. The sundried tomato's were soo good as well and they really do not hold back on giving chicken. It fills you up! Sauce was delicious. - vodka pasta: 3.5/5 stars. I expected more out of this pasta considering the hype. Sauce kinda tastes like it came out of a can and my pasta was overcooked so it was quite soft. Overall, the rest of the food was great but wouldn't recommend getting the vodka pasta if you're looking for the best one!

A friend and I came in for dinner a few days ago, and it was delicious. It's right off the train, making it an easy commute. I got there a bit early for the reservation, so I waited at the bar. I didn't realize that the restaurant is actually pretty big - it extends through the back to a much larger dining area. The servers are attentive, and made sure I was taken care of right away. We were seated promptly when she arrived. The food came out quickly and was delicious. I ordered the spicy vodka pasta and my friend got the shrimp avocado bowl. The dinner was seamless, and I'm looking forward to coming back.

Went here the other day for brunch based off of a friends pick. I've been wanting to go for a little while but never really got around to it. It was great! Everything was really solid and great brunch option. The layout of this location was a little small but they make it work and it feels cozy. I got the breakfast sandwich which was delicious. Also tried the green eggs bowl which is more of an omelette, great just not what I was expecting. We also got the truffle aioli fries and penne alla vodka for the table. Would recommend both. The coffee is also very good. Now we were gonna skip dessert but I wouldn't. The banana bread was great but the real star of the show was the date cake. Would recommend and I would go back. A safe and easy option.

This was a solid choice for a hearty breakfast. I had the big breakfast without the bacon, which is kind of like an English breakfast with eggs, hash browns, toast baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, and some greens. The baked beans are my favorite part, with a flavorful slightly sweet sauce. At $26 after tax and tip, the price is a little high but on par with other restaurants in the neighborhood.

Everything on the plate was good! We stopped here for dinner after taking in some jazz nearby - around 7:30 on a Saturday night of a holiday weekend, and no wait on a table for 2 - how fortunate! I saw steak frites on the menu and it had been a while so this was the choice. The decor was simple and cozy, and cozily lit. Love the triangular shape of the restaurant, and yet they maximized space. I didn't realize there was more seating downstairs until I went to the restroom. We started with the salt and pepper calamari - it was lightly seasoned and perfectly fried. The steak frite was among the best I've had- my medium steak cooked perfectly, and brightness of the light lemony dressing on the arugula, and even the fries were good- the garlic aioli, and was that a hint of truffle oil? (I normally don't like truffle fries - it's too strong, but this was reminiscent of what a right amount would be) - if it was even truffle, I don't know. My husband enjoyed his creamy chicken pasta too - I had a bite (I taste everything), and the pasta was cooked just right. They were out of cocoa powder for a mocha, so he got a latte to finish the me, and it too was among the best- like Europe. When we are next near here, we'll plan to be back.

Note: Went here for dinner. Perhaps stick with brunch/breakfast only as the best thing was the cocktail and coffee. I went to this restaurant a good while back with a group as per most of my reviews recently. The staff was nice and the place had a nice atmosphere though perhaps a bit crowded and a bit too loud. The drink I had was one of their many draft cocktails, the Village Old Fashioned. This had bourbon, amaro montenegro, nocino, cacao, and orange peel, and was reasonably priced at $16. It's listed as an old fashioned but it almost has a negroni touch with the mix of sweetness and bitterness from the amaro with a light bite from the liquor and overall, it was a tasty cocktail and I would go back and order that again. I remember someone else liking their watermelon drink and I don't think anyone else ordered any other drink outside of coffee later (which was a solid flat white.) My main dish was (unfortunately) the Ruby's Ragu for $21 with slow braised beef short rib, pappardelle, pecorino, and a burrata sauce which the menu note contains bacon in it. The pasta was fine (a bit too cooked to be al dente but decent,) and the burrata was good quality, but unfortunately the sauce was not that good. I'm used to ragu and in general meat sauces being thicker with a richer flavor and I expected even more so with the mixture of the burrata and short rib but this was oddly light and not in a good way. The closest description I could give it would be watered down with the meat being stringy as well. The price of the pasta is more reasonable than many other spots in the area but it just wasn't tasty. My side dish, the Sautéed Spinach, with parmesan, shallot, lemon for $8 didn't really help the wateriness of the first dish. You can see from the photos that the spinach was resting in what you might as well call a broth. The flavor was alright (perhaps a bit sour) but again, what gives with the wateriness of both of these dishes (maybe they thought I was dehydrated or something.) In terms of other orders, someone else had the burger and they said it was alright and a few other people had sandwiches and stuff. The prices might have been a bit cheaper then many other spots but you get what you don't pay for. Mid 3 based on value with the cocktail being the highlight and a low 2 for the flavor at best. 2.4 rounded down. I'd go back for brunch probably but never again for dinner.

Ruby's has always been my go to quick healthy salad lunch. Love their fries every time, wish my salad had a bit more dressing but overall was amazing. This was my first time at the new WV location and it was such a cute vibe!!! Service was great and I loved sitting on their patio on a nice fall day. Will be back as always!

We came here on a birthday during a rush hour and it feels like they squeezed us at the bar which felt sort of interesting to us because it didn't feel like a birthday meal at all but more of a squeezed high top not so special dinner. This is how I always imagined Ruby's but I feel like if it's for a birthday they could've sat us somewhere a little better. The food is always phenomenal at a Ruby's location and I am always so impressed with how they make consistency work in every location I've been to. This one in particular feels more like a bustling night scene with lots of different drinks. We ordered a few drinks like gin martinis and the espresso martini and those were quite sweet but if you wanted a less sweet one I loved their old fashioned on tap. This location is definitely more upscale than their other ones and less of a brunch scene and more of a night scene which is super relevant to the neighborhood. We shared four plates with a party of 4 girls who don't eat that much and that was plenty for us- I feel like sharing is totally great for these as we got a app, main, a pasta and a salad. The portions came in pretty large I would say and was all pretty tasty. The app we got were the calamari and was super tasty with the sauce! I really liked that they added a cream sauce with it and came piping hot and crispy. The main we got was the grilled salmon and it came in perfect temperature as the salmon was cooked to perfection and I really loved the celery puree they added since it's not quite like mashed potatoes but a lot healthier. The size of the salmon is definitely for 1 person to eat but since we shared it amongst a few dishes it was a perfect addition to the meal. This is definitely the smallest portion of the orders. The pasta we got was the spicy Italian sausage pasta and wow this was so flavorful and tasty 10/10! It's very comparable to how good their other pastas like the shrimp scampi is (that's my usual). The chicken avocado salad was definitely hefty in portion which I loved because I love a good salad and this was an amazing one!!! All the food was so good and the drinks were also great! They even were kind enough to take our photos at the end which is a big plus on our end. Thanks for hosting, Little Ruby's!

Made a res day of! Yummy fries! Good variety of pasta, burgers, salads for anyone. Large selection of drinks too. Inside is much larger than you think. Really pretty window seating and indoor seating. Reminded me of a restaurant i'd find in santa monica. Kind staff, good amount of seating inside!

Bustling spot with excellent food. Bigger than it looks spread over multiple rooms lots of tile soa bit loud but I like that. The steak I had was superb and was served with excellent fries. The aupoivre sauce was served on the side and was very complex and tasty. Good service

Good al dente pasta in the west village. They can get very busy so I recommend making a reservation. Prices are very low for this neighborhood. Took off one star because we felt very rushed by the staff here. Also wish they asked if I wanted cheese and how much I wanted before already applying it on the pasta.

Great brunch spot for the girlies! It's sunny, minimalist, and a bit wabi-sabi decor wise. There was no wait for walk-ins around 10:30-11 on Saturday. There's indoor and outdoor/sunroom seating. Server was quick with drinks, food, and refilling water but we didn't feel rushed. Lavender matcha latte was delicious, maybe a bit sweet. It came with lavender buds on top. Breakfast bowl was yummy, I loved the poached eggs, avocado, and prosciutto. I was less into the whipped ricotta with edamame, it was kind of a weird combination. Don't forget to ask for a matchbook on your way out!

I love their SoHo location, so I was excited to finally come to their West Village spot! This location has ample seating with an upper and lower level. We were seated on the lower level, which I noticed wasn't as bright and a bit warmer than the upper level, but still comfortable nonetheless. I love that there are sweet, savory, and healthy options on the menu! I ordered the breakfast burrito, which was SO YUM, especially with the sauce! It's definitely a bit on the heavier/greasy side because of the hash browns and sausage inside, but worth the vice, especially if you're gonna walk off the meal afterwards anyway. (Would def order again tho) Their bathroom is quite tight, with 2-3 stalls and a small sink area. Staff is attentive and friendly + we were seated right away (unlike the SoHo location which always has a long wait). They also didn't rush my friend and I as we were eating, since there was tons of seating. Overall, would come back, as Ruby's is always a brunch go-to of mine!

YUM. Came here with a friend on a Sunday with a 530 rez and by the time we left, it was pretty full. Love the ambiance - can deff be causal or a date night. Our Palomas were good but didn't taste too much like lavender like we expected. We got a bunch of stuff to split including the truffle fries, burger and spicy vodka pasta. Fries were nice and crispy and the burger was soo good I just wish it was bigger. The pasta exceeded my expectations as far as taste but the noodles were a tad overcooked. Not a dealbreaker for me though. For dessert we got the sticky date pudding/cake and it was sexy. Prices were super reasonable and I would deff return.

Came into the city for an early Saturday start with no plans for brunch. But Little Ruby's looked so cute we had to stop by. It was already bustling with guests but we were able to get seated for 2 pretty quick. Their outdoor indoor little space is so beautiful. A bit tight seating wise but that's almost anywhere in the city. Food: Now for the grub. We got both breakfast sandwich options, the egg sandwich and the spicy sausage sandwich. The egg sandwich had a crispy crunchy hash brown, with bacon, arugula, tomatoes and a soft fried egg. I got the sauce on the side rather than on top. I loved this sandwich! I wanted something light and yummy and this delivered. The hash brown was a bit too oily for my taste but the bacon was crispy and the tomatoes were so fresh. Overall, would definitely get it again. The spicy sausage one was definitely on the heavier end but just didn't compare to the egg sandwich. Service: Waitstaff was nice and came by often. Nothing of note to mention there. Can't forget about the bathroom. Clean but quite dark! Maybe it was sitting by the sun but they could definitely bump up the lights in there during the day. Also, it's down a set of stairs so not the most accessible for those with any kind of mobility issues. Overall, curious about the dinner offerings but a cute brunch spot nonetheless! If you love aesthetically pleasing spots, this is it.

I'm still dreaming of this bowl, it had the most amazing crunchy rice. I've walked past little ruby's several times and finally tried it. They're usually busy on the weekends and for good reason. Their service is fast and their food is so good! The restaurant is much bigger than I thought it was (it has a second lower floor section). It all feels very SoCal. Would highly recommend!

Little Ruby's such a solid casual lunch/dinner spot. I've been to two different locations -- East and West Village and the vibes for both are great. It's just casual enough where you could bring a large group, but elevated enough so it could be a cute date spot. The food choices are also plenty -- burgers, pasta, salads, and bowls. The Bronte burger is a must try for all those who come here! It's juicy, flavorful, well cooked, with a great ciabatta roll to replace the bun. The sweet potatoes were extra, but honestly they were great as well. The portion sizes will make you full -- one dish per person is enough to put you in a food coma. I might be the only person to say that I wish there were more greens in the chicken avocado salad haha. Service is also pretty attentive. It's a popular place so would definitely recommend a resy or come just a bit early before the dinner rush to snag a table. My partner and I were able to get a table for 2 on a Monday around 7pm with just a 10 min wait.

Easily my favorite breakfast/brunch I have had in the city. The moment you walk in you know you are in for a good one. The aesthetics are wonderful with a naturally bright and warming feeling. The service was impeccable and everyone was extremely nice! Both the breakfast burrito and the B.L.A.T sandwich were INCREDIBLE. 100% think about this place frequently and defintely will come back soon!

We escaped the summer heat and went inside this cute little restaurant. Food was great, especially French fries. Air conditioning and food fueled us for the rest of the day.

We got a very easy reservation for Friday night. The food and drinks were very good. I went specifically for the cheeseburger and it did not disappoint. It is also a very cute restaurant. I got great pictures and the background was great!

SO GOOD. Everything here was amazing. The ambiance, the service, and the food. The burger was spectacular, and both the sweet potato fries and regular fries really stood out. Everything came out nice and piping hot. Definitely would come back to try more dishes!

This place was ok. I did not find the food amazing but it wasn't bad. The seating is very tight. The service was alright, we had multiple people as our servers over the course of the time. The brunch overall was mid, but some people were getting lunch around us and it looked really good. I would probably only go back for lunch or dinner.

Little Ruby's Cafe is a nice, cozy spot to have a meal at. The warm ambiance and the candle lit tables make this a nice date spot. The pastas were nice, but they were not necessarily out of this world. Adding grill chicken was an extra cost, and they didn't include much. The shrimp pasta was an average experience, but it wasn't the worst thing to eat. The sweet potato fries were better than I thought. Overall, I enjoyed my dinner

Our lunch experience on Friday here left a lot to be desired. We had a reservation so we didn't have to wait. The upper floor is gorgeous with lots of light flooding the space, but our table was at a sub ground/basement level that was much darker and didn't feel as vibrant. Our waitress is the primary reason why we didn't have as great of a time here. Shortly after sitting down, she came by to get our drink orders and just had this very ~don't want to be here, don't want to serve you, roll eyes, annoyed tone~ kind of vibe. She didn't really want to answer our questions about the menu, only filled my water 1/4 way to start, was no where to be found when we wanted our dirty water glasses swapped out, and as we were taking our last bites of food, magically showed up to tell us our total and to take our payment. By then, the restaurant had some empty tables so not sure why she was trying to get us to pay so quickly. Food itself was solid. Truffle aioli fries were yummy, shrimp pasta was too creamy for me but enjoyed the citrus. Bronte burger was interesting - felt like a healthier burger... our meat was still quite red but flavors were good. All new items for us and I feel like the Italian sausage pasta I've had in the past topped these dishes. Will maybe be back to Ruby's but probably not this location.

Yum!! I've been missing good brunch vibes and Ruby's delivered. Our group of 5 was seated within 20 mins late Saturday afternoon. Food was a hit and everyone was very impressed. I had the Bronte burger and it was honestly one of the best burger/sandwiches I've had. The meat was so flavorful and went so well with the ciabatta bread. The rest of the table raved about the B.L.A.T and the Crispy Rice Bowl. Unfortunately they didn't have smoothies available when we went. Would for sure come back.

Ordered: That Watermelon Drink (~$15) Butterfly Lavender Lemonade (~$7) Salt & Pepper Calamari (~$14): with chili, scallion, lemon, sweet and sour aioli Crispy Brussels Sprouts (~$10): with herb relish, quinoa, ginger lemon dressing Classic Cheeseburger (~$16): two 3oz beef patties, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, American cheese, special sauce on a potato bun with fries (+$4) Spicy Vodka Pasta (~$20): canestri, vodka sauce, parmesan, basil, chives Shrimp Pasta (~$20): grilled shrimp, spaghetti, cherry tomatoes, arugula, lemon, cream, crushed red pepper, breadcrumbs Sticky Date Pudding (~$10) Aya's take: First time at Ruby's and I got to try their West Village location! The decor is classy and elevated yet still maintains that cafe vibe. Honestly, I didn't have a bad bite here. Everything was actually extremely flavored and well-seasoned but I'll share some of the highlights. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts are a must! I'm going to need all restaurants to serve it this way moving forward. Each Brussel sprout was perfectly roasted and the dressing was super light and not overpowering at all. The Classic Cheeseburger was really solid, but definitely heavy and messy! The Spicy Vodka Pasta was outstanding; dare I say better than Carbone? (Don't argue with me please). The vodka sauce was creamy, mild in flavor with an ever so slight kick, and the pasta was al dente. The Sticky Date Pudding is actual crack! I've never seen a dish hit the table and disappear so fast. It's warm, rich, and sweet and the cold ice cream balances out the temperature and flavors so well. Both drinks were also good tries (very pretty!) but didn't stand out to me honestly. All in all, I understand the hype around Ruby's and I'm glad we get a little taste of Australian culture here in NYC.

A comfortable place to come for breakfast or brunch. Food is prepared with fresh ingredients and service is prompt and pleasant. A very young clientele hot spot. Despite no reservation they sat us down in 10 minutes....and they were busy. A west village spot for early day meal

Highly recommended, so decided to make a resy for dinner. Made a reservation for 8:45 and wasn't seated until 9:15. I noticed a lot of people were being seated, so i'm not sure if they were just running behind, but I was very hangry. We were placed in there back room, which I never noticed they had. We ordered the calamari and fries to share, and for entrees the shrimp avocado salad and the cheese burger. The food was honestly great! I think the salad could have had more stuff in it and a better dressing, but everything for the most part was delicious! Especially their fries. I will say for some reason we felt very rushed. Like it took forever to actually be seated, but literally maybe sat down and wrapped up so soon. But I guess that is to say that the food came out very quickly, but maybe a little too quickly?... I just felt really rushed while people around me where allowed to take their time. For example how were we done before the people who were seated next to us? Honestly i did not feel super welcomed. If you are looking for a place to talk, this isn't the restaurant for you. It's SUPER LOUD in there and you can't even hear your own thoughts. Not too pricey (~30 each not including any drinks). Not sure if i'll be backz

Kale Salad was fantastic, but I could have done without the Lavender Matcha Latte; The overall restaurant was loud and made it difficult to hear. Favorite Dishes: Kale Salad with Pear, Pumpkin Seeds, Crispy Quinoa, Pecorino, and Grilled Chicken

Food, service, and ambiance is amazing! Would recommend visiting when you're in the West Village!

Didn't realize they opened this new location and I'm glad they did! It's super cute with plenty of seating on the top floor as well as downstairs. Stopped by with a friend on Sunday evening before a show at LPR around the corner and thankfully they sat us immediately. The drinks were phenomenal and you should definitely order their Brussels sprouts; that blew my mind. We also got the sweet potato fries and my friend loved that the most; the sauce is very unique! I'll definitely be back

Was excited to try Little Ruby's because of the hype I had seen on social media but unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. I ordered the Ruby's Ragu and the Spicy Vodka. The Ragu was way way way too salty, I couldn't finish it. Spicy Vodka was good but nothing super special and the chicken on the side was pretty dry. We also ordered the calamari as an app which was delicious. We came on a Monday evening after work and service was a bit slow, not sure if they didn't have enough staff. Ambiance is super good and nice to people watch but overall, the experience left much to be desired. Probably wouldn't recommend.

Super cute spot. I was seated outside and the tables were really small and at an odd spot so it wasn't balanced and kept moving. I ordered the Brontë burger (medium), sweet potato fries, and a creamy chicken Alfredo. The burger was super filling and juicy. The fries were a bit too salty. And the pasta was a small portion but it was still good. The three plates came out to be $49. It isn't too bad but I do wish the tables were bigger since we were uncomfortable because the space was too tight. They have lot of seatings, inside and out.

Newest location of Ruby's is on par with the others, and is very architecturally cute (they made great use of the triangle-shaped space in the front). I came for brunch on a weekday (no wait) and had an iced oat milk latte, banana bread and brekkie bowl. Everything was just about perfect. Will be back!

I would give Ruby's a 10/5 if I could. I will be dreaming of those ricotta hotcakes forever- they must be the best pancakes I've ever had. Extremely fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth chunks of ricotta, perfectly accompanied by lemon butter... to die for. The egg plate was solid too- expertly scrambled eggs, slightly buttery crispy toast and lemony spinach. The avo toast was delicious as well. Pina colada wasn't too strong, my mom called it "rejuvenating." Service was surprisingly quick, even though it was a rainy Saturday morning and the place was packed. Tables weren't too close together and the atmosphere was refreshingly simple yet welcoming. A thousand percent would return.

Little Ruby's is a restaurant that has indoor/outdoor seating and a super cool bar a floor below street level. This is a great spot to take a loved one on a date night, or a good friend to catch up. My favorite dish was the spicy vodka pasta. The sauce was to die for and the pasta was cooked a bit more well done than I'm used to. The chicken schnitzel was also delicious and had the perfect light breading on the outside with a slight crunch. The appetizers we ordered were so fresh and delicious. I haven't had whipped eggplant before and loved the light pita bread with the eggplant dip. Would definitely go back to Little Rubys.

Food was great. I loved the spicy vodka pasta. It wasn't very spicy but they had red pepper flakes on the side which was nice to add. I also really liked that the pasta had a lot of sauce so it wasn't bland at all. The punch bowl was also really good!! Very cute brunch spot and would love to visit again. The service and ambiance were great Only thing was they had very limited vegetarian options and not sure about vegan options.

Stopped by here for a quick dinner. No reservation, just a walk in and we got sat right away. The restaurant was nearly full. The vibes were very decent inside. Now for food-- I had to try the beef pasta which was very delicious. Their chocolate fudge was 10/10!!! I am not a huge lava cake fan but this fudge mixed with ice cream was very yum. I will be back!!

Very good outdoor experience here. We didn't have a reservation but the friendly hostess was able to offer us outdoor seating (no alcohol allowed) but this wasn't a problem for us as we had spent the whole day drinking. I got the cheeseburger and it was quite tasty, I would definitely recommend! My friends enjoyed their dishes as well. I also noticed that the hostess offered a large group complimentary drinks at the bar because their table wasn't ready - this doesn't go unnoticed and many other restaurants should take notes!

Came here for lunch with some friends and the food was great. We got sat fairly quickly for which seemed like a busy day. My only complaint is that the hostess' didn't acknowledge us for a few minutes after walking in. The interior was very cute. For the food: The honey cinnamon latte was to die for. To eat I had the Bondi sandwich and side of fries and it was so good. The fries are the perfectly crisp on the outside but soft on the inside type of French fries aka the best. Sandwich was very flavorful. I would recommend making reservations just to be safe.

This place seems to be always packed, at least tables by the window are. But got a table pretty quick on Sunday night. "It's not that busy on Sundays," said the host. Cute place, chill ambiance.. Good service. Food's pretty good as well, Not awesome, but I will come back maybe for brunch. Eggplant dip apps was great, but my spicy sausage pasta was just alright.

Yummy food and a cool vibe! A nice date night spot. LOCATION/SERVICE: Made a reservation and noted it was our anniversary, and were greeted right away! The nice servers also gave us a glass of champagne to go along with our meal so that was super nice. The hostess and the waitress were both super friendly, so the experience was great. The restaurant seems a bit small from the outside, but there's actually quite a bit of seating inside. The seats are a bit close to each other, but not too close to be uncomfortable - cozy rather. FOOD: YUM! At the end of our meal we asked our waitress what made the cuisine Australian... still not too sure, but everything was really good! The only note was that my boyfriend was aware of some type of gaminess on the burger meat that I didn't notice. The star of the meal for me was the schnitzel and brown butter sauce - I ate it with everything else. The mashed potatoes were also extremely smooth and buttery. If this is Australian food, I'm down for some more! Glad we celebrated our anniversary here, and would definitely do date night here again.

I walked in around 10 a.m. on a Saturday morning with my friend. We were seated immediately and I ordered a matcha and she got a latte - both delicious, just wish they were bigger. The breakfast bowl was yummy, perfectly proportioned and filling. And the banana bread was a star, not too banana-y and paired wonderfully with the passion fruit butter (get it.) Our waitress was sweet and had good recs! It's very cute, especially near the windows!

This place is a decent choice for breakfast or lunch, but it didn't leave a strong impression on me. The service was adequate but not outstanding, and the food was solid yet unremarkable. It's fine for a quick meal, but it wouldn't be my first pick for a special outing. If you're in the area and just need a bite, it's worth a visit, but don't expect anything extraordinary.

I came to Little Ruby's for my friend's birthday dinner. Overall the staff was great. They got all our order correct, replaced my cold food with piping hot food immediately, were pretty attentive, and didn't add the 20% but let me decide (and don't worry I did tip 20% but crazy to have a choice haha). My friends got the eggplant dip as a starter and loved it. It's not crazy big but there is a good amount of dip included. The crispy rice salad looked delicious! I would highly recommend this too. A lot of people got the spicy vodka and said it was fine. It wasn't that spicy and although it seems trivial the pasta shapes were wrong. I got the fried chicken sandwich and added fries. Overall this sandwich was great! The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The fries came out piping hot and were crispy. The truffle aioli was also great. It is a weird mouthfeel though having such hot chicken but then such cold coleslaw in every bite. Don't know if I personally appreciated that. I was also bummed they didn't do anything for my friend's birthday even though we brought I a group of 8. Great location and pretty good food.

I was excited to dine here due to the positive reviews we had heard. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing, mainly because of the poor service and unexpected basement seating. We had anticipated enjoying the charming main floors and patio, which looked so inviting. Although the wait time was manageable, the service fell short. The ladies dining at the table next to us warned against ordering iced tea, as refills in mason jars filled with ice were fully charged and only a few sips due to the ice. We opted for plain coffee instead, only to find out it wasn't refillable either, and we were charged an additional dollar for cream to add to it, (good thing we didn't order sugar in to too-$$$ -haha.) The Bluey sandwich was tasty, featuring about 3-4 ounces of chicken, four spinach leaves, and a thin slice of tomato. We requested ketchup for the fries, we had to ask four times from three different wait staff and received it only after we had been given the bill. A couple behind us mentioned they would have preferred their bill to thrust on them while they were still eating rather than waiting over 20 minutes afterwards for a leftover box and the check. I don't think I'll be hurrying back here, though it seems the constant line of patrons suggests they won't care.

Great brunch spot, with good portions and yummy food. The atmosphere was cute, and we didn't have to wait for a table! Would go with a friend for an under-$20 brunch (excluding drinks).

I have loved the original Ruby's for years so was excited to try the new West village location. We walked in on a Saturday night and had to wait about 45 minutes to be seated. We waited at the bar on the lower level which was pretty busy with people in their young 20s. We ordered the Brussel sprouts and burrata to start. The burrata was a nice twist on how it's usually served and included pears. So good. The steak and fries were solid. But I was blown away how good the gluten free pasta was.
