    We had an amazing night at Jeff Ruby's Downtown. Joseph, our server, was very attentive and the food was delicious! We were celebrating our 40th anniversary and everyone made us feel so special. They even printed Happy 40th Anniversary on our menu, what a special touch! We will definitely be back!

    We had a great experience at the bar, assisted by Grace, who provided outstanding recommendations for dishes to pair with a really nice sparkling rosé. We enjoyed it so much - we went back the following night! It is within easy walking distance from the 21C Hotel & Museum where we were staying. The tapas style dishes allowed us to try several things each night, with a nice portion for two people to share. They are very helpful to guests with food allergies. Noise level allowed for conversation at normal level, which is appreciated. Outstanding service from all on both nights, but a special shout-out to Grace for great service with smile.
