We dine here often and for the first time we had bad service. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and the server never acknowledged that. The food was great no problems there.
We had a great experience at on Sunday evening August 17, 2025. The wait staff was wonderful and the Fish Katie was superb. We will be back!
From the moment I stepped inside I was enveloped in an atmosphere of pure elegance. The soft ambient lighting, tasteful décor, and hushed conversations created an intimate yet refined setting, perfect for a memorable evening. The service was impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive, with every detail meticulously attended to. The staff’s knowledge of the menu and wine pairings was impressive, guiding us through a culinary journey that felt both personalized and indulgent. ❣️
Good selection on menus, specials were awesome, drink selection on point, attentive staff.

Girlfriends and I met here for Sunday brunch last weekend for one of our birthdays. It was fantastic! We sat on the indoor patio over looking the river with such awesome views! The atmosphere was absolutely perfect, not loud (which I can’t stand having to strain to hear over the loud background noise), very upscale and my filet mignon was perfection. They brought out a sparkler on top of the desert for my friend’s birthday and of course ended with their famous cotton candy. A wonderful time for us all. I highly recommend!!

Ruffinos is become a new favorite of ours and the service is unmatched and specifically Jake our waiter is driven and truly shows concern for your experience exceptional place to dine
-Synchronized serving was not correct the 1st or second time. -I made a reservation and it was given away to another party, but it was immediately rectified and everyone was politely accommodating. With those being the only cons, I LOVE this place. No place is perfect, but their food and drinks are! The staff are attentive, patient, and knowledgeable.
Had the best experience here! Delicious food with an intimate atmosphere. Staff was super friendly and helpful!

If you're looking for a nice place to bring someone and have a quite elegant dinner, this is it. Lightning is perfect. Tables aren't too close together. Friendly staff food was amazing.

They made me remove my hat to walk through the threshold. First thing they told me when me and my wife walked in.
You have waiters with pony tails but I can't wear a hat. Bathrooms are filthy but I can't wear a nice hat.
First and last time.

Ruffino's offers a delightful dining experience with a perfect blend of great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent service. The standout for me was the "drum" dish, which was cooked to perfection—succulent and flavorful. Another highlight was the duck fingers, a unique and tasty treat that I absolutely loved. The restaurant also boasts a nice wine selection, which perfectly complements the diverse menu. Whether you're there for a special occasion or just a casual night out, Ruffino's delivers on all fronts, making it a must-visit spot for food enthusiasts.
What an amazing restaurant! Great atmosphere, service and food!

The food was good, in general. The crab cheesecake was delicious. The only issue I had was with my wife's filet. She ordered it to be cooked medium, and it came out blue rare! They took it back and put it back on the grill. I swear they just threw it straight in the fire, because it came back like charcoal. I have had more tender cuts of sirloin from costco, than that well done filet. Very disappointing.
