    Amazing dining experience! Our server Felicia was fantastic. Very kind, patient, and helpful with ordering. Breakfast was outstanding. The ambiance was very cozy on a winter morning with music soft enough to have good conversation.

    I recently dined at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse in Columbus, Ohio, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. What truly set the evening apart, however, was the outstanding guest service. Our waiter, Patrick, was simply amazing. He was personable, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. Patrick’s recommendations were spot on, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable evening. I highly recommend Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. This is a place where both the food and the service shine brightly. We can’t wait to return!

    Kudos to Forno for creating a fun seasonal pop-up speakeasy in the basement for the holidays. Decorations, including vintage video, set the mood for apres-ski R&R. Special themed drinks were great, especially the espresso martinis, and the six of us devoured the fondue. Would've been nice if they'd offered a couple more menu items like personal-size pizzas/flatbread from the kitchen upstairs, and maybe a little bigger assortment of dipping items for the cheese fondue than just orange cubed bell pepper, bread, and apple slices (maybe more fruit?), but the whole experience was enjoyable on our pop-up pub crawl.
