Restaurants near Transylvania University

The new menu items were fantastic. We were not in a steak mood tonight. My wife had the chicken, which was phenomenal. I had the Strozzapreti Pesto, which was excellent. Can’t wait to go back.

Delicious food with perfectly sized portions. The Ravioli Della Nonna was divine with a smooth creamy red sauce, the Chicken Parm light and delicate, and the spaghetti with meatballs robust and classic. The red velvet strawberry cake was otherworldly and the classic vanilla ice cream was a creamy gelato that stole the show! Definitely recommend!

Very good food and service! Noise level was a little high for me. Tables are a little close!

This gem has become our go-to spot for consistently outstanding dining experiences. The menu strikes that perfect balance of quality and value – you get generous portions of expertly prepared dishes without the eye-watering prices you might find at similar establishments. The atmosphere hits all the right notes – vibrant enough to feel energetic, but you can still carry on a conversation comfortably. The dining room has a warm, welcoming buzz, especially during peak hours, with a mix of families, couples, and groups of friends creating that perfect restaurant hum. What really sets this place apart is the staff. From the host to the servers, everyone seems genuinely happy to be there and goes above and beyond to ensure a great experience. Even during busy rushes, the service remains attentive and personable. We've been regular customers for a while now, and the consistency keeps us coming back. Whether it's a casual weeknight dinner or a special occasion, they never disappoint. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that maintains such high standards across the board – food quality, service, atmosphere, and value. This place has rightfully earned its spot as our favorite local restaurant.

Our meal was delicious, cooked perfectly and beautifully presented. Our server Shelby and her assistant Katie took excellent care of us and made us feel welcomed. The highlight of the evening was having the manager D.J. check on us throughout our appetizers and entrees. We are looking forward to another dinner at Jeff Ruby's soon! Thank you and Merry Christmas!
