   I recently celebrated my birthday at Ruby’s and Roses for lunch, after seeing photos online that made it look like the perfect place for a special gathering. My party of 10 and I drove over an hour, excited for what we thought would be an unforgettable experience. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were all left feeling underwhelmed. While the food and service were good—no complaints there—the ambiance and decor were nothing like what was advertised in the photos. The space looked much more outdated and mismatched in person. The lighting was dim, and the overall vibe just didn’t have the chic, trendy atmosphere we had been expecting from the pictures. It felt a bit more basic and less inviting than anticipated. It was disappointing, especially since we made a point to travel such a long distance for a special birthday lunch. While we still had a great time with friends, the atmosphere didn’t live up to what we had envisioned based on the online photos. If you're looking for good food and service, Ruby’s and Roses is fine, but if you're expecting the Instagram-worthy vibe seen online, be prepared for a letdown.

   Excellent food and service. The cocktails were amazing, especially the smoky old fashioned and golden geisha. The restaurant accommodated a last minute change in party size from 2 to 3, which was so nice.

   The ambience was great! We ordered the lobster noodles and steak, both could have used more flavor. They came out rather fast which makes me curious about the food prep. The watermelon marg was delicious!

   Overall our experience for our first time being there was awesome. The food was great and out server was great. The only thing that I didn’t like was the male and female hostess at the front talking crap and laughing at certain servers in front of us and agreeing with each other on seating us with the servers they where talking crap about. It was highly unprofessional and made us feel like we didn’t even want to be seated because we didn’t want to have to tip bad service on our special night but I’m glad we decided to stay because our server was absolutely amazing. I would definitely come again but I think management need to speak with their hostess about this kind of behavior. They need to treat every customer the same not pick and choose who they give customers to and definitely not discuss their personal issues about their coworkers in front of the customers. This could cost the restaurant money and the servers their tips.

   We had a good dining experience. Everything we ate was awesome!! Food came out quickly since they weren’t quite busy. We had brunch which is from 1130-2pm. Disappointed they didn’t have the lunch menu available.

    We came here for Valentine's dinner. They had a set menu with great options. They had a live band in the main dinner area playing great music. The food was delicious and the service was great. We will definitely come again.
