    What a DELICIOUS meal I had on Friday night at Little Ruby's. It was quite busy at 6:15pm, and I now know why - the food and service were GREAT. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation since it seems like it's busy all the time. We had salads for dinner and the brussel sprouts appetizer, all was so tasty!

    The food was amazing (especially their truffle fries & calamari starter). Servers were quick, very busy! Music was super loud downstairs, but other than that, 10/10 restaurant!!

    We had to wait half an hour for our 8pm reservation that was made weeks ago because ‘a late group reservation pushed out all the single tables’. Instead of prioritizing us when we were already there before that group arrived, they made us wait embarrased at the door like we were just walk-ins. And then thinking that a free appatizer will fix that experience. After that they even put the appetizer on the bill, probably hoping we wouldnt notice and pay for it. Thanks Ruby!

    Loved little rubys. The service was good and our server Sam A. was really sweet. We got the food quickly and it was amazing. I had the Italian sausage pasta and my friend had the steak. We enjoyed our experience and would definitely come here again.

    Tables were a little too close to each other but I guess that's NYC. The waitress we had was wonderful.
