“Just left a group luncheon of 12 retired educators Everyone’s meal was excellent and the service provided by our server Barbara was a 10. She was helpful, efficient and humorous……absolutely will return…“

“WOW!!! Mother's Day evening was spent at the one and only Jeff Ruby's in Lexington. There are no words to describe just how incredible this restaurant truly is! From the minute you walk in and are personally greeted by GM Farris Huehls, to the fabulous staff that attends to every detail, it was a night to be remembered. Over and over again Jeff Ruby's exceeds my expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant! You will not regret it! Treat yourself and loved ones today to the one and only Jeff Ruby Experience.“

“It was an outstanding experience with a very good friend! The food was perfect and the atmosphere chill. I look forward to another visit.“

“Exemplary service and a superb dining experience. The food quality and presentation are noteworthy. The wine list seems to reflect the nature of the restaurant, presenting a selection of high-quality labels, without a lot of clutter. The atmosphere is comfortable, casual, and "old-timey" Lexington. The Blue Heron is a genuinely nice destination for dinner!“

“What one of our team members says: "My husband and I tried Tony's this past weekend for the first time, and it might be our new favorite steakhouse in Lex! The service and atmosphere was incredible, and the food was some of the best we've ever had! The restaurant itself was beautiful, and we had a stunning view of downtown lex from our table. The service was also some of the best in Lex. Next time you plan on visiting, request Mason, he was our favorite server! This steakhouse is a must-try spot!!"“

“My husband and I came in tonight for an early Mothers Day celebration. they were PACKED but still provide amazing service! We got seated quickly, our server was amazing, our drinks and apps came out within a few minutes, my margarita was delicious and not skimping liquor, and our food was amazing! The manager came by and we praised our experience. 10/10 would recommend.“

“It was a busy Saturday night. We arrived early for our 6:30pm reservation and were seated at 6:25pm. We had two servers and two assistants who were attentive but not hovering. Menus and drink orders were taken and delivered promptly and our Restaurant week orders were placed. Two salads, one sushi, two surf and turf (fillet and shrimp) and a warm chocolate chip cookie with a huge ball of ice cream on top. Malones service was excellent. The rare fillets were seared on the outside and warm red on the inside...as a rare steak should be. Sides were seasoned fries and broccoli. Both excellent. My only negatives are that my manhattan came over crushed ice. It should have been mixed and then served over ONE large cube or no more than three regular size cubes. My wife's prosecco was served in a white wine glass, which tends to disperse the modest "bubbles" of the prosecco too quickly. Serving sparkling wine in this type of glass makes the drink go flat too quickly. Some oversize stemmed or unstemmed flutes would be a nice addition to the glassware choices at the bar. Those are relatively minor points. Dinner was excellent as was the overall service. Well done. Fix the two issues with the bar service and it will be even better.“

“The absolute best meal. Everything on the salad bar was fresh and flavorful. The meats were varied and very tender. The lobster bisque was the best I’ve ever eaten. The server was top notch and very attentive. Try this - you won’t be disappointed!“

“My family ate here while on vacation; Chelsea S. was our waitress and she was excellent! The food was great, too.“

“Hostess was friendly but probably not the best personality for a hostess.
Sever (Isaac) was absolutely awesome. Friendly and helpful. Food was an 8/10. The salad and Brussels sprouts were both really good. The medium rare steak came out medium well. Isaac took it right back and had a fresh steak prepared which was closer to medium rare at the thick end but dried up at the thinner end. For the money, I would have appreciated a more even cut of steak that could be prepared more consistently.
Atmosphere is nice and I'll be back.“

“Big shout out to all of the employees! They helped me out when my husband was having diabetic issues. They got me a quick coke, ice cream and then a fast burger. You are the best!“

“Thank you, Columbia's Steakhouse!!!! ❤️
Your competition, Le Deauville, across the street really dropped the ball and totally mismanaged several couples Valentines reservations. Thanks so much for graciously saving the day and providing us a wonderful alternative! Great staff, great food, and great service 👍 There's a reason you've been a Lexington institution for so many years.....“

“Columbia Steakhouse catered my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary at our church and it went amazing. Greg Pin was so easy to work with and provided everything that we needed. Willie, another caterer did great. Our guests raved about all of the food and drinks, as well as service.“

“We had a family birthday gathering there tonight The service, food ,absolutely everything was five star!!!!“
