    Jeff Ruby's was the perfect choice for my special birthday dinner! The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable. The ambiance was elegant, setting the stage for a delightful evening. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, showcasing the chef's attention to detail. From the appetizers to the main courses, everything was cooked to perfection and left us wanting more. To top off the night, we indulged in the Jordan Shoe Chocolate cake, which was a showstopper! Not only was it visually impressive, but its rich chocolate flavor made it the perfect sweet ending to our celebration. Overall, our experience at Jeff Ruby's was exceptional, making my birthday dinner truly unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to celebrate in style!

    We have always done dinner at this amazing restaurant. Today was our first brunch. I would have to say , they continue to amaze us. The blue crab omelette was out of this world amazing. The thick cut bacon was something that could be a dish by itself. The wife got the French dip sub. The beef was perfect, the dip was on point . The horseradish dip was fire 🔥. The hand cut fries were perfectly salted and crisp. Once again blown away by this restaurant ability to provide amazing experience and food.

    Prices are a little high but the food was delicious. I felt we should have had better service after we were seated. It took some time for that to happen, they may have been short handed. The waiter was very friendly and that made a big difference.

    My wife and I frequent the Exchange for our date nights. The food is always plated nicely and the flavor is consistent every time, service is great and what you would expect for a restaurant in this class, if you like bourbon; the Exchange makes the best “Old Fashioned” around and its super consistent as well.

    My husband and I celebrated our 5th anniversary at Brooklyn & The Butcher. They made our evening special by leaving a card on the table with congratulations wishes from the staff when we arrived, great service, and delicious food including chocolate covered strawberries. Destiny was our server and she was so nice and took great care of us. I ordered the Berry’s Beef Farm Sirloin and added black truffle butter from the Bling Bling steak additions (a suggestion from Destiny) and wow! it kicked the steak up to next level delicious! This was our 1st visit and we’ll definitely be back.
