We tried Esme and Ruby’s for the first time today, the food was great, very friendly and fast service and great prices. Best corn beef hash we’ve had in awhile. We’ll be back!

3 for breakfast on this day. Very nice patio, closed because of time of year. Inside is a typical small breakfast room. Two TVs on with news. We were greeted and treated very well. One plate was a typical scrambled eggs, potatoes and white toast. Wasn't mine but heard it was good. The toast was a thick bread, buttered and toasted well. The potatoes were fresh cut and grilled with onions and spices. Another plate was Huevos Rancheros. The menu has quite a bit of Mexican flavor to it, and it being one of my wife's favorite breakfast to eat out, we thought it was a safe bet. Not the case unfortunately. Partly our fault and partly because the waitress didn't ask, the eggs were over easy and runny eggs are a no-no for her, so it sort of ruined the whole dish. The rest of it was just so-so and quite sparse-no avocado, no salsa or pico and just a small side of re-fried black beans. I had the Protein Bowl special. The only thing wrong with it was that it didn't come in a bowl! This made it a bit more difficult to mix up, but the combination of black beans, quinoa, avocado, fresh pico and two eggs over easy were quite delicious, especially the freshly made pico. The desserts all looked so good but we decided on the mixed berry scone. It's not a scone (meaning it's not dry) but it was very good. Definitely worth another try, likely when the weather is nice again and we can sit outside!

You have got to be kidding me!! I cannot believe anyone would rate this place "good"!! The waitress had a hard time understanding basic english... seriously?? The food we ordered was awful. Certainly nothing to deserve more stars! I sent the soup back...looked and tasted like dishwater. Plastic and fake flowers made the place look old.

As its hard enough to find good Mexican food in Litchfield county, I thought I would never see good Mexican breakfast! The inside of this establishment is cozy with that New England breakfast joint feel- and the food is great. I would not say it is the most "authentic" version of chilaquiles or a breakfast burrito you could find, but they're delicious and filling. Service was a little bit slow and the food is definitely pricey, but worth a stop anytime.

Discovered this place a few months ago. Find the quality of the food to be excellent! I find myself there at least once a week. You really need to try this for either breakfast or lunch. You will not be disappointed.

The California salad was delicious and the lemon/blueberry was also very good warmed with butter. The next day I went for my eggs and bacon with homefries, but the eggs were runny and there was an orange slice that ruined the taste of the food, IMO.
