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.

A lovely experience for my Birthday, they even gave me a free dessert. Very good service and amazing food. As an Aussie it was very authentic and I loved being able to get my favorite drinks I missed.

I highly recommend this restaurant! We ordered the shrimp pasta and spicy vodka pasta, and both were absolutely delicious. The service was prompt, and the ambiance was incredible—dim lighting and candlelit tables created such a cozy and romantic atmosphere. I can’t wait to come back!

They had great food and it wasn’t too expensive. It was a little bit loud because it is not the biggest restaurant.
