    Wonderful experience overall! Valentine’s Day specials included chicken cordon bleu- so delicious, from the haricots verts to mashed potatoes to the perfectly cooked chicken. Souffle was also delicious as was the classis onion soup. Service was top notch- friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Great wine recommendation as well. Saved room for the profiteroles for dessert- good choice!

    We did the coffee lab tasting experience, which was so awesome! Damiel was so knowledgeable and helped us understand the tasting notes and explained the different ways the beans are processed. If we have the chance to go again, I would also want to do the tour and learn more about the process. It was great!

    Me & my friend did a galentines dinner here and the vibes were immaculate! We were given a rose upon arrival which put a smile on my face immediately. Our waitress was very attentive and all of our food and drinks came out in a timely fashion. The eggplant dip, sausage pasta & spicy vodka pasta were incredible! The yuzu margaritas were addicting! (tajin rim yktv) We work nearby so i’ll definitely be coming back :) Thank you Little Ruby’s!!!

    This experience was really fun. We had a private session. Clay was lovely! We made one espresso martini and then learned about different variations/got to sample. The food pairings were yummy. Overall, it was a little overpriced for how much you actually get to do for making the drinks but we had a lovely time. They let us stay and hang out even after our class was over.
