Service was good. Clam chowder was exceptional, as was the calamari. The Alaskan King Crab jar was a little disappointing, but ok. The scallops were great , and th lobster Mac and cheese was delicious. The new your strip was served medium rare. I ordered it medium, and should have sent it back. It was not great, but I took it home and ate it the next day after I finished it properly. I enjoyed my meal as did my wife. If I had one complaint it would be the valet parking for less than two hours was $26.00. Plus tip.

Dinner for 4. Our wait staff were wonderful, especially our primary server, Tyler. If lobster thermidor is on the menu, we recommend it. The grilled romaine salad is delicious. The smoked bourbon cocktail is fun and tasty. The key lime pie was very good, as was the butterscotch budino. Overall a great dining experience and is highly recommended.

Michael and Tate were fantastic! They were friendly, attentive and made it a very special date night for us. The bar staff was so great we even came back later in the evening for a drink and to get dessert to go. We had multiple encounters with management as well and they were all so welcoming and helpful. We’ll be back to Jeff Ruby’s when we’re back in Louisville.
