Loved the food and the experience. Juan our waiter exceptional! I have a gluten allergy and he was extremely knowledgeable and the restaurant very accommodating. (FYI to those with celiac...you can eat most items from the menu and there is a seperate frialator). We cant wait to go back and try more items, and we will ask for Juan!

Dining at Jeff Ruby's in downtown Cincinnati was the finest restaurant experience I’ve ever had. The venue’s 1920s flapper-inspired ambiance near the fountain at Fifth and Vine set the stage for an unforgettable evening. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive. The drinks were expertly crafted; I particularly enjoyed a couple of perfectly balanced Manhattans. The food was the highlight. I savored a perfectly cooked filet topped with crab meat, accompanied by fresh side vegetables, and ended with a rich gluten-free cheesecake. As someone with celiac disease, I was impressed by the staff’s conscientiousness regarding my dietary needs. There were six of us, and even with a full restaurant, we could clearly hear each other’s conversation—noise control was spot on. The bill was on the higher side, but the experience was worth every penny. I can’t wait to return.

We have been going here for years. The food is fresh and made on site. Their wild mushroom noodle soup is unlike anything I've ever had. Meatless, but hearty and filling. Enough to share for tomorrow's lunch. They make they own noodles, so they may run out if eating late, but the servers are happy to make recommendations. Open until 3am Friday and Saturday nights, this is a great place to have an exotic retro cocktail, shareable appetizers, and a fantastic, "not what you normally see as Chinese food in America" dinner. They even have gluten free options.

My husband and I dined here for our anniversary, and we couldn’t have been happier. The food was absolutely incredible! I have food allergies (gluten and dairy) and the chef and staff went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. We will definitely be returning, and we will continue to rave about this restaurant to our family and friends!

Still a fantastic breakfast and pretty darn good gluten free toast! The million dollar bacon was a tad to sweet for me this time...but that's probably just me. Great service, quick for downtown, and prices are appropriate. You'll need to find parking!

This is a great place to be with a group. Service was fast, and the staff were friendly and kind with the kids. The Chili is so good! They put so much cheese on top of it too. If you are gluten-free, you can ask the bowl of Chili without the pasta. The cheese fries were ok. I don't think we will order it next time. Be prepared to try a new recipe of Chile, tough. It has different spices that make it special.
