Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Middletown

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!

An amazing experience indeed! Service was fantastic as the waitress provided the history of the restaurant and had suggestions for cocktails, appetizers and the main course. My husband had the 14 inch ribeye and I had the flight which included choice, prime, and wagyu cuts. Sides were crispy loaded baked potato and collard greens. It was the quickest open kitchen I have ever seen. We made sure to tell the manager on duty how much we enjoyed the experience. We will be going back for our Anniversary in May!

The food was delicious. Mussels and chilled shrimp were so fresh. Husband loved the salmon and literally ate every bite. I had the grouper cheeks with shrimp over risotto. The sauce was amazing and portion larger than expected. My old fashion was made perfectly, and Sam Adam's was available draft. The service really made the night. Waitress was prompt with everything, super friendly- you just know when someone is seasoned in their job. Her recommended dessert was ordered to go & we enjoyed it later that same evening while snug on the couch. Noise level raised a bit here and there but not at all bothersome, especially for a busy Saturday night. Ambiance works for a small group or romantic dinner for 2.

Great experience and will definitely go again! The lobster bisque was delicious and a must order along with the shrimp scampi. If you love roasted garlic the shrimp scampi comes with a whole bulb of roasted garlic on top which was soooo good spread on the crusty bread that came with it. My husband got the mushroom Alfredo and it was so creamy and good. I got the roasted scallops with risotto, bacon, kale and lobster. I loved the scallops. They were cooked perfectly as well as the risotto. The sauce on the risotto was wonderful. I did not like the kale. It was smoky but almost had a Medicinal taste and I usually love kale, but I did not like the kale in this dish. We got the tiramisu for dessert. It was a good size as the two of us split it. It was just OK. We thought it was dense and dry with no coffee flavor. Our waiter was very attentive, very nice and outgoing. The overall atmosphere was very quiet and peaceful, low lighting and just very relaxing. 

We Had an amazing evening as always at Volare , Chef Josh Moore, GM JT, our server Brandy and their support teams are all the best of the best. This truly is a 5 star / 5 diamod fine dining experience on every level
