    Tiny tables fitted in maximum level. You almost ear should to should with next table. So that they can make more money for this average quality food and service. It was my first and last time here. Never again

    I’ve been here twice and it’s a go too for sure. For 3 people we got waters, a coke, 2 orders of fries, a burger, a shrimp pasta, and a fried rice bowl. It came out to $80. For 2 people we ordered and order of fries, Brussel sprouts with a side of shrimp, shrimp pasta, a coke and a beer. It came out to $77. Everything was good and came fast. Waiters kept checking on us and were super nice. We also had a reservation for 4:30 and got seated at 4:25. I highly recommend going here.

    Food is fantastic. Service is above and beyond. They were so incredibly nice to my wife, myself and my 4 year old daughter. Prices are very reasonable for the type of place that this is. It’s hip, fun and has a great atmosphere overall. Highly recommend.

    We were celebrating my birthday and the service was so quick and efficient. Food was delicious and they gave us feee desserts to celebrate, later they had a Polaroid camera and let us take pictures with it. We had a reservation for 9pm and they were more than ready for us and didn’t rush us out at all, in fact it almost felt like they wanted us to stay. Overall one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant!

    I visited this restaurant for brunch on a Saturday. The food was delicious, and the customer service was excellent. However, the restaurant was extremely busy, so I highly recommend making a reservation to avoid the long wait time. The only downside was that I didn’t like the glass they used to serve the wine.

    Ruby’s is ALWAYS the answer - and without a doubt today’s experience for brunch was no exception. I love the EV and Murray Hill locations best and the green eggs bowl is pure comfort food.
