Wow...where to begin on what was the best dining experience

5/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Jeff J. on 07/01/2024

Wow...where to begin on what was the best dining experience and service I have ever had in Lexington. Food was absolutely excellent from fillerless crab cakes to perfectly cooked filets for two of us to great chicken for my wife. Food was perfect and service may have been even better. Doug was our head waiter and Gus his assistant. Was my daughter's 16th and Doug could not have been nicer or more accommodating. Special menu for her birthday with Happy 16th on top for us to keep. Photo with all of us. Rubys just goes the extra mile....maybe extra five miles to give guests a great experiences and it shows. Cannot recommend enough. 5 stars easily!!! Top restaurant in Lexington no questions.

5/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Mackenzie F. on 06/25/2024

Jeff Ruby's is a classy, luxury dining experience you don't want to miss! Everyone should enjoy a meal at Jeff Ruby's at least once. The food is superb, the staff doesn't miss, and the design is unlike anything else you will find in Lexington. One of my favorite parts about going to Jeff Ruby's is admiring the beautiful and unique decor and fixtures throughout the restaurant. The attentiveness of the staff is unmatched when compared to any other restaurant I have been to. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu, however, the roasted carrots with whipped goat cheese is my favorite shareable side dish! Let them know if you're celebrating something, they will bring you out some of their famous butter pie!

My family recently met after 2 years of not being together due to life's obligations, one of which was active military duty. I selected Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse - Lexington for our special evening out! We were absolutely delighted to be served with some of the most exceptional service. Shout out to Josh and Gus!! As out of town guests, we loved the atmosphere that was very Kentucky cozy without being heavy or dated. The food was phenomenal. From our Miami roll to our East Coast and West Coast oysters, and our mouth watering Japanese Wagu steaks, topped off with a dessert unlike any other, this is one of the best restaurants we have been to. Our dining experience was just that - an amazing experience! Thank you again from our ever so grateful hearts!

Went here to celebrate our daughter's graduation from UK

4/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Sally C. on 05/18/2024

Went here to celebrate our daughter's graduation from UK with her Doctorate Degree. When we walked in my first impression was it was very tight and busy. However, with college graduation being the same weekend as the Kentucky Derby I'm sure that had a lot to do with it. We sat out in the patio area by a bar. The menu is ala cart, pretty pricy. I had the salmon and hubby the rib eye, we ordered the Brussels Sprouts and a side pretty much like potato a Groton to share. My salmon was juicy and cooked good. Nothing really more special than other good salmon I have had, just much more pricey. Hubby enjoyed his steak, said it was good as well. The sides were all good too. As I said nothing over the top of with the food than other less expensive steak restaurants. For how expensive the food is I was very disappointed of the lack of cleanliness in the area. I feel as the restaurant is pretty much listed as a high end restaurant more attention on making sure the floor is clean should be taken. Over all our waiters were very nice and attentive. Had a good evening celebrating such a wonderful occasion.

This place is expensive for the sake of being expensive.

2/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Tony B. on 05/15/2024

The ambience is immaculate, very high-end, luxurious, flashy, and exuberant. The service is friendly, classy, well-trained. The food? Meh. Like, really meh. It's especially meh when compared with the price. I have been a few times and every meal I have ordered, including their steaks and burgers, was just sub-par. Good, but not great. My Girlfriend got pasta, salad, and chicken and said the same. You are dressing up and going to a fancy restaurant for the purpose of going to a fancy restaurant, not for the quality of the food. The desserts are VERY clearly frozen, which is highly disappointing considering the price. I would only return if my meal was paid for by employer/event. If you want higher quality food for half the price and the same fancy environment, go to Carson's down the road. FAR, and I mean FAR, superior in quality of food and service.

Our dinner experience at Jeff Rubyโ€™s Steakhouse was top notch! Our server, Kazman was amazing. He was attentive, personable and very thoughtful. The GM, Farris also came by to say hello to our table. We had the Lobster, Filet and Wagyu NY Strip - all were cooked to perfection! The dessert presentation was quite a show and also delicious! Highly recommend the Bananas Foster! We enjoyed cocktails like Sheโ€™s a Daisy and the Brule Old Fashionedโ€ฆ all of which were balanced and delicious.

5/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Tim B. on 04/24/2024

The food was absolutely delicious! I went as part of a large work event for dinner and it was quite the experience. The jumbo shrimp appetizer was delicious, very large and fresh texture and appearance. The meatball appetizer was very flavorful and seasoned well. I ordered The Freddie salad as part of my meal which was a basic but delicious salad containing roma tomatoes, applewood bacon, and buttermilk ranch. It was creamy and the flavor of the bacon gave a very distinct addition to the salad. For my main course, I got the filet mignon cooked at the temperature they recommend at the restaurant. It was perfect and had a nice salty spiciness to it. The sides were a very delicious asparagus (I'm usually not a fan of this veggie but here it was delicious), amazing mashed potatoes, and some of the best macaroni and cheese I have ever had. The top was crispy with what looked like bread crumbs and it tasted amazing. The wait staff was very kind and professional, and attentive to each of our tables. I appreciated the ambiance and decor of the restaurant, it felt very old school (in a good way) and welcoming - like the old steak houses my parents used to take me to as a kid. Overall a great place to eat if you are from or visiting Lexington.

5/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Katie F. on 04/21/2024

We had a large group of us (about 17 people) so we had a private room and I can't say enough about the server. She was AMAZING; she stayed on drink orders 9and there were a lot) the food was presented promptly and plating was very well done. Great team there, can't say it enough. To talk about the food, we had a specific menu for our group, so I will speak on the appetizers, we had a variety of meatballs, seafood balls and shrimp all VERY delicious and the shrimp were HUGE! Then we were able to pick our entree, which I choose the NY Strip Steak which you can see in the picture was large for a strip and very well cooked. We shared family style, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and asparagus. The mashed potatoes were smooth and silky just great. The macaroni and cheese was a little disappointing with a lack of flavor. Lastly, we were able to pick our dessert which I choose the creme brulee. Great crisp top and really liked the beautiful presentation and touch of berries and creme on top. Very well done. I would also like to give compliments to the bartender, a fantastic espresso martini. I will be back to visit again.

We Will Try Again

4/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Karen B on 03/03/2024

Overall, We enjoyed our dining experience. Suggestions: Just say no to the kale salad. Someone was very heavy handed on the vinegar in the vinaigrette, thus making it pretty much inedible. Just say yes to the barrel filet mignon with grits and shrimp. Prepared medium, just as ordered, and it was absolutely delicious. There was a rowdy table of gal pals beside us who were pretty obnoxious in language and mannerisms. So say yes to biting your tongue and overlooking rudeness. Having just come from the UK game, we were perhaps underdressed. Therefore just say yes to tossing your barely butt-covering little black dress in the car before dining here (NOT). Anyway, we will return for that filet for sure.

2/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Amy M. on 02/22/2024

I had a really disappointing experience at Jeff Ruby's on Friday. This was actually the third time that I've gone there and my steak has not been cooked properly, but usually they seem to go out of their way to correct it. This time was different and a very lackluster experience. My steak was overcooked and gray all the way through. I brought it to my servers attention and he seemed a little irritated but agreed that it was way overcooked. I was eventually brought another filet but I had been butterflied and it came out way after the rest of my party had finished their meal. It was a very disappointing experience overall. I've been to Ruth's Chris and there the servers will point out if a steak has been prepared incorrectly before you even have a chance to bring it to their attention. Do yourself a favor and make the drive to Louisville to go to Ruth's Chris. Jeff Ruby is not worth the exorbitant price.

The service the first time we went was strange, the waiter always forgot something. He brought the appetizer but no plates. He brought dessert but no spoons. He brought the check but no pen. However when we went back a second time, the service was above and beyond.

3/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Donnie L. on 02/10/2024

Meh. That's how I would describe my experience here. My wife has had many business lunches and dinners here, so she wanted to take me for our anniversary. The ambiance and live music is good, a bit much and a bit gaudy at times but no biggie. The food was great, my steak was cooked perfect, the Brussel sprouts were to die for, no complaints. Now for the bad. Service...it sucked. Our waiter was for lack of a better term, stuck up and unconcerned about us. He spent most of his time 2 tables over entertaining a group of 8 older ladies, probably lobbying for a good tip, I won't fault him for that, and smoking, I will fault him for that. Drinks sat empty, cocktail orders took 20+ minutes, he checked on us twice, he was passive aggressively rude, it really detracted from the entire evening. If it wasn't for his trainee, we wouldn't have gotten our food, cocktails, water refills, or the bill. He was great, so nice that I ran across the street to get more cash to give him a substantial tip, mainly for saving our disastrous anniversary dinner. I may be biased because my wife hyped this place up and I expected more than I should've, but if I pay $600 for dinner, I expect good service. If had to do it again I would go to Carson's, Tony's, Cole's 735 Main, even Malones...for similar quality food, similar ambiance, drastically better service, all for much less money, thus making the cost/benefit analysis a no brainer. Food: 5 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Service: 2 Stars Price: 3 Stars Averages out to 3.5 stars, which I think is fair.

1/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Christie E. on 01/21/2024

Do not go! The most rude management team ever! We have four people that go to Jeff Rubys after a basketball game.... we are told upon arrival there are no tables until 10 PM. However, you are welcome to go to the bar... We walk over to the bar and nearly every bar chair says "reserved". Sort of weird since you can't reserve bar chairs, right?... Unless you're friends of Jeff's... We were told. So wow the entire bar chairs nearly all reserved... Even if you stand there and wait for someone to get up... Once they get up a staff member throw down a big sign that says reserved the people that have been standing there waiting for an hour and a half, Can't even get a table... I speak to a female manager... To complain of the issue... And she's part of the team... And tells my party of four that we will need to leave... Obviously, at first I refused to leave because, mind you . We have waited for a table for about 45 minutes... Just as I was told... But the rest of my party insisted we go to Tony's restaurant where we can get better service... I finally agreed to this scenario... Couldn't have been better plan as our service at Tony's was remarkable... not only is the service better at Tony's, their espresso martinis, but Jeff's to shame! Not sure if I'll ever go back to Jeff's to deal with such rude and inappropriate behavior from team members, including the female manager. Or maybe I'll try to, on the game night get a bar chair reserved for me. So in the future, if anyone ever needs a bar chair at the bar, keep in mind Jeff Rubys does reserve chairs at the bar, so do not let them tell you any different... Let them know you are just friends of Jeff's and see where this goes! Simply explain to them the last time you were in Jeff's nearly over 50% of the bar chairs were reserved, so why can't you get a reservation?

1/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @KellyGreerCulp on 12/31/2023

We made reservations two months ago by phone, and even booked a night at the hotel next door because of our dinner plans. I just called to confirm and they donโ€™t have our reservation. My husband and I were together on speaker phone when we made the reservation, so I know for a fact we talked to someone at the restaurant at the end of October. And now you donโ€™t have our reservation??? Now where do we eat at the last minute on NYE? We traveled from the Caribbean to celebrate an evening out and enjoy Jeff Rubyโ€™s for the first time. I even bought a gift certificate for my husband as a Christmas gift. Anybody want it? Iโ€™ll never darken this door. If you canโ€™t get reservations right, I canโ€™t imagine anything else is at all enjoyable at this establishment. Iโ€™ve heard mixed reviews from friends about Jeff Rubyโ€™s, but I thought NYE would be a good night to have the experience even if the food isnโ€™t great and itโ€™s basically overrated. Terrible service. Completely incompetant hostess. We asked to speak to a manager and they hung up on us and now they wonโ€™t answer the phone. Disappointed is a gross understatement. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse

5/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Fat Man Reviews on 11/10/2023

So the Fat Man and his wife wanted to have a date night, we felt like getting a little dressed up. So we ventured out to Jeff Ruby's in downtown Lexington, KY. Jeff Ruby's offers prime steak cuts, sushi & a vast choice of whiskeys in an upscale dining space with chandeliers. For our appetizer we tried the Oysters Rockefeller which comes with Spinach, Mornay, Parmigiano-Reggiano, 19 Pernod. The oysters offered good flavor in every bite, and were cooked through with a slight chew. The spinach and cheese compliment the oyster with a little salt and creaminess to the bite. The licorice flavor of the pernod is very subtle but added a dryness to the salty bite. For my entrรฉe, I went with the Barrel-Cut filet with Mac n cheese, Brussels sprouts and a bourbon peppercorn sauce. The steak was cooked to a great rare, perfectly red in the center. It had a good salt level with a great outer crust. It was tender and juicy, the peppercorn sauce is very peppery on the front and backend with a heavy saltiness and good flavor, it reminds me of a gravy. The Mac n cheese noodles were overcooked, and the cheese sauce tasted like it had broken, leaving it gritty. However, the cheesy crust on the top is great with a crunch when digging into it. The Brussels are fantastic, they are cooked tender with a good sweet maple sauce, that is not overly sweet. My wife had the Bourbon filet with cheddar grits and Bourbon garlic shrimp. The grits have a good cheddar taste, but they were a little watery for my liking. The shrimp is cooked perfectly with good flavor, and they were of good size. Her steak was cooked perfectly to a medium rare, and it was tender and juicy. Jeff Ruby's has a full bar, beer and wine selection. The staff was very attentive and well-informed of the menu. I highly recommend a reservation. The Fat Man says that Jeff Ruby's is Fat Man Approved with 3 chins.

We were seated at a high top table in the piano bar area which was last available when we made reservations. The volume of the singer and piano was deafening. No one, including servers, could speak to be heard. Ridiculous. Next up: My salmon was visibility over cooked and tasted like it was going bad. The refire was even worse as it was undercooked and raw in the center. I refused the further attempt to have any other substitution and of course was not charged. My friendโ€™s meal charge was also removed and manager did apologize, which was appreciated. This was my friendโ€™s 3rd negative experience in a row at this location which pretty much means we are out. A shame because it is a beautiful restaurant and I know they can do better.

The decor and ambiance is unbelievable! The service is top notch. The downside is the food is not as extraordinary as I'd hoped. The baked potato is a 2. It is just an average size potato without any rub or anything on it? The baked potato is just as important as a steak! Also I don't like the family style dining. It doesn't go well with a classy restaurant like this. Mr Ruby please hire new chefs that's can make a baked potato like Malones, and salad!

I have been to Jeff Rubys at other locations and enjoyed it quite a bit all around. This location wasn't the norm. First off the servers dresses were so short they couldn't even bend over without everything hanging out. The drink I was served wasn't made right and they commented on it saying they weren't sure why it wasn't like it usually is. When they should of made it the right way. I was not impressed so ended up leaving without getting food and going back to Tony's steak house instead. Not up to Jeff Ruby's standards at all.

It was difficult to get a table reservation, so I went and had a couple of Manhattans at the bar. The bar is classy and on entering the restaurant you notice a huge chandelier. Patrons were well dressed and it felt like you were in a stylish setting.The drinks were well done by the bartender. I liked the live music set up on an elevated platform behind the bar.Good experience. Will try the food next time.

I have been to Jeff Ruby's several times.

4/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Mikah G. on 02/16/2023

I have usually sat in a booth and received excellent service. However this time felt a little different. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar and while all of the bar tenders, and helping staff were all very nice, the service seemed, sub par. Was that because we were at the bar and the standards are lower? I'm not sure. We both have worked in a restaurant for a decade now so We we're both empathetic to the demands of being a bartender. However, I will say this. Being a bartender, I was very disappointed to watch the bartender make our drinks (French 75, manhattans and old fashions) and simply build them in a glass and serve them as opposed to building them in a strainer, stirring them, and then straining them over ice. That really dilutes the quality of a drink. In my Opinion, small things like excellent, attentive service, and mixology is something that separates regular steak houses from places like Ruby's. The food was excellent. The staff were all nice. But to spend the amount of money that you spend at an establishment like this, should you receive anything less than perfect? Either way, we would both come back.

We went for an early valentines since everything was booked

4/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Chet K. on 02/14/2023

We went for an early valentines since everything was booked a month in advance. We wanting to try it. The decor is impressive and wait staff seemed well trained but overall experience was just ok. My steak was supposed to be medium rare but came medium. I didn't want to say anything because we were with another couple. But overall the consciences were 7.5-8 out of ten. When you drop 250 for a meal for two you expect more than we got. Food was good just not outstanding

Nice meal, wonderful servers, pricey but worth it.

The only problem I had was that we requested a quiet area to celebrate a special gentleman's 80th birthday and this was ignored. There were quiet areas in the restaurant--we just didn't have one. We were seated closer to the front where people were walking by us. But the food was worth the price!

Was contacted by DJ a manager at the restaurant and he was super nice and apologetic about our experience. Wanted to make sure we would be returning and give them an opportunity to make things right. We will be returning for sure, just based on their concern for their customers. Will update again as soon as we make a return trip.

4/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @Grace E. on 01/01/2023

Yes the food is great overall and the ambiance is fabulous, but for the price point it's not my favorite restaurant. You can get better steak at a better price point. Again, the food is definitely good, but for the price point I expect it to be far and above other options. That's why it gets four instead of five stars from me.

So disappointed!

1/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @FoxyLady51 on 12/06/2022

The food & table service team were very good! And now, for the rest of the story โ€” Had a reservation for 5 on Friday, Oct. 7, 2022; 3 adults and 2 13-yr olds. Seated at 2-rounds that were shoved together in a back room right beside an incredibly obnoxious table of diners who had had far too much to drink - they were totally out of control. Their partying was so loud that we could not hear each other talk at my table. Their partying was allowed to proceed for 75-90 minutes longer with continuous bottles of wine during our dinner, after already being there for 3-4 hours before we arrived. Inflammatory words were loudly shouted for everyone to hear. Even one of the Jeff Ruby table servers (a young lady) was verbally harassed by these patrons! It was a totally miserable dinner for us at this high-end restaurant. After complaints (& sheer exhaustion at my table), that group was moved to the patio bar, but our evening had already been decimated. The check arrived, along with a verbal apology, but ZERO consideration of ANY sort for this experience. How disappointing! I called the restaurant a few days later to talk with the manager about this miserable experience. After talking with a nice woman, I had to leave a message for a callback; no callback after 2-3 weeks. Then, I called again with the same request to talk with the manager; another message was left, and again, no callback. I called a 3rd time about 3-4 weeks later & explained for a 3rd time about my experience & desire to talk with the manager; itโ€™s now been more than 10-days, but again, no return call. Iโ€™m very disappointed about this dining experience. We had such high expectations for a nice dinner together with our family, but that absolutely did not occur. Further, no attempt with service or remuneration for our incredibly poor experience! Bottom line: donโ€™t consider this Jeff Ruby location!

Itโ€™s not enough to have good food

2/5 by ๐Ÿ‘ป @scottandkym on 11/21/2022

Visited here for my daughterโ€™s 21st birthday with a party of 10. I called two weeks ahead of time and made reservations, yet when we got there we still had a wait and they pushed tables together in a very busy part of the restaurant. The seats were so close together that we couldnโ€™t sit down and had to ask for them to move one of the chairs to the ends of the table- so we had room to get in. Even after we were seated, the ends of our table stuck so far out in the aisle that every single time a waiter walked by we were bumped. Though our waiter was nice and friendly, he did not check on us often, and it took 45 minutes for them to simply take our order. We were at the restaurant 2 1/2 hours total waiting on our order to be taken and our food to be brought out. We had to flag people down to get our drinks refilled. Though the food was good, our location of seating and our lack of attention made the experience unenjoyable. It was obvious they were not ready for us, even though I made the reservation so far in advance. This was our second trip to Jeff rubys. Our first trip was with a group of only four people and it was exactly the same. I love the decor and the building is very pretty and the valets were all very nice, the service was lacking and the seating was not ok and with tables being right on top of each other, it doesnโ€™t make it comfortable. I would love for this restaurant to be better, we like having options of places to go in Lexington and the food was good, but all of the other factors made it so frustrating that we will not return. After talking to many people about this, almost everyone we talked to felt the exact same way, so I know it was not just an isolated incident. We will be regulars at Tonyโ€™s where the service and food are always great.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse - Lexington at 6 PM the same day.

He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse - Lexington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.

That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.

Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.

Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.

2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.

3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse - Lexington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.

4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse - Lexington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
