    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!

    Upscale without any pretentions. Extensive menu of which all of it is made on site. Decent selection of wines by the glass. Service is excellently provided via a team; ours was headed by Michael--ask for him. When the food comes, no one raises a plate and says, "Who got the shrimp?" Your ordered is placed in front of you. They take the time to know 'who-got-what.' Nice touch. Need to take home your leftovers? (Spoiler Alert: You will.) They don't dump styrofoam boxes on your table. Nope. They whisk away your plate and quickly return it packed for travel. Civilized. Good food. Great service. They acted as if they had waited all day just to work with our group.

    Wonderful meal in Lexington! The southern chicken entree was delicious—I got a side of carrots and Brussels sprouts and both were flavorful and well-cooked. My son got the bolognese and loved it. Strong wine list, too!
