Was too late for coffee unfortunately; outside cabin like area was cold. Wouldn't recommend the eggplant dip but everything else is good.

Ambiance was adorable, cocktails and foods were delicious, the service was tremendous! Shoutout to our waitress Sam (girl) she was so attentive and accommodating and I wish we could have pulled a chair up for her because she was such a joy. Will absolutely be back and recommend to our friends!

A super nice atmosphere due to the beautiful interior. The food was also fine. I didn't like lemonades as much; they all tasted the same (too sour).

The two pasta dishes is not worth the money, very bland. I had to ask for hot sauce to put on my pasta to give it some flavor. Total in the end for super basic pasta was 64$ for two

Can't go wrong with Ruby's! It's cute and they've got great food and service. My friend and I visited this new location on a Monday evening around 7pm, and it was quite busy. We were lucky to get seated immediately, that certainly wasn't the case for many others. I would recommend making a reservation if you don't want to wait. We tried their kale salad and shrimp pasta. For drinks, (kind of a weird combo with our dishes I know, but ya girls needed caffeine) we got their golden tumeric latte and honey cinnamon latte. Everything was good! Even though they ran out of shrimp so my shrimp pasta was actually grilled chicken pasta, it was still delicious. Also, a couple friends asked me to add that they recommend trying the fried chicken burger. A solid option if you're in west village!

Dinner was delicious, however the spicy vodka was swapped with an alternate noodle (not canestri, and gemelli instead) and it was a bit disappointing in flavor. I WILL SAY that the Ragu was delicious and flavorful and the apps were good.

Excellent service & chic ambience (albeit deafeningly loud, even on a Tuesday night). The breakfast menu seems more authentically Australian - would suggest adding more Down Under-specific dishes on the dinner menu, if possible. Also, why not decaffeinated coffee options?

Great little brunch spot. Very busy so I sat at the bar. Had Ricotta Hotcakes with a side of scrambled eggs and well done bacon ? it was amazing! Love those hotcakes! Also had amazing conversation with the bar tender who convinced me to come back for dinner. Stay tuned!

Yum!! I've been missing good brunch vibes and Ruby's delivered. Our group of 5 was seated within 20 mins late Saturday afternoon. Food was a hit and everyone was very impressed. I had the Bronte burger and it was honestly one of the best burger/sandwiches I've had. The meat was so flavorful and went so well with the ciabatta bread. The rest of the table raved about the B.L.A.T and the Crispy Rice Bowl. Unfortunately they didn't have smoothies available when we went. Would for sure come back.

Adore this place! It never misses. It's honestly one of the best brunch spots in the city. Such a great range of items to choose from. The bowl is so fresh and yummy and the burger is fantastic

So happy we went for the West Village and had lunch here. We started lunch with the sweet potato fries. So goood with the sweet chili sauce and sour cream. My daughter enjoy her avocado toast and I had a great chicken avocado salad without the candies almonds. The salad was delicious. The dressing was perfect. We both had ice lattes. Our waiter was great and attentive. It was busy and the food is why. Don't skip this on your next visit.

Ordered the spicy vodka pasta and it was incredibly bland seemingly lacking in even basic seasoning. Didn't taste any spiciness whatsoever. The sticky toffee pudding just tastes like a bran muffin with caramel on top. I think the rave reviews from this place come more from the ambiance. I've heard their brunch is good so I'll probably be back but overall not that impressed.

The atmosphere and food were great! The photos don’t do it justice. We got the crispy Brussel sprouts, the Bronte burger, and the spicy Italian sausage pasta.The only complaint was service wise. We walked in at 4:57pm and were told that dinner only starts at 5 and to come back in 3 minutes to see if they have a table for us. The restaurant doesn’t close and reopen for dinner… we just found the attitude of the hostess rude.
