Love the atmosphere! The food was just okay! Not enough flavor in the veal Parmesan. Sauce was okay...not enough flavor in the tomato sauce. My fish Katy was very tender and cooked to perfection, but the sauce was blah. No real significant flavor. There was very good portion of crabmeat. 👍 The service was outstanding. Desert menu...I don't understand why a place with so much ambiance and notoriety doesn't serve bananas foster or cherrries jubilee! Or a sophisticated after dinner...read full review
Family dinner celebrating my wife's birthday. Excellent service all the way around from the greeting by the hostess through the waitstaff of three that attended to us. Drinks and food were fantastic and very enjoyable. Great experience!
Food and service were great but most of all I appreciated the atmosphere. Ruffinos is one of the few restaurants in town that has their tables appropriately spaced so that we aren't distracted from the noise and conversation from neighboring tables. This creates a much more pleasant environment and dining experience.

The food is always spot-on, the drinks are excellent, and the service is hard to beat. The Bubble Bath and Old Fashioned made with Blanton's are customer favorites. The fish Katie's and the butter steak are also highly recommended. Ruffino's is a great place for birthdays, anniversaries, or just a really good meal in a great atmosphere.
The service is excellent, attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere is inviting. The chicken piccata is a standout dish, perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with bright lemon flavor balanced by the richness of the sauce. The capers add just the right touch of tanginess, and the portion is generous without being overwhelming. The blue crab gnocchi and the Taste of Ruffinos are also delicious.
Ruffino's offers amazing food and service. They even surprised a customer with a free slice of cake and chocolate drizzle in the shape of a stethoscope on the plate to celebrate a special occasion.
