Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse, Nashville

Simply outstanding service, but the food was subpar. I expected great things from the spicy cornbread but it was super dense with no flavor. 12oz filet was just OK but cost $94. Asparagus was hard (undercooked) and the sourdough bread was blackened and far too crunchy. The best item was the meatball on cheesy grits.

The best steak I've ever had. Service was just right and the room was cozy, perfect for date night or group and noise level was busy but easy to carry a conversation.

Top-tier service, elegant interior, and the best steak in town. The staff treats you like a VIP from start to finish. Always a 10/10 experience in Nashville.

We had our wedding dinner in the Jeff Ruby room & the entire night was so amazing! Our server Evan made the night super special for our group and his attention to detail was superb! I've had many friends recommend Jeff Ruby's when looking for a great steakhouse & I could not agree more. Everything from cocktails on the private patio to the wonderful customized menu and beautiful atmosphere, the entire evening was 100% A+.

Great experience. Food was cooked wonderfully, but the star of the show was our server Lindsey. Lindsey was incredibly personable, professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Will definitely be back if we're town!

Food was not good. My steak was well done and I ordered it Medium Rare Plus. Service was slow and overall experience was average for the price. They did bring me another steak but it took 25 minutes and the group was done eating at that point.

Very good service and good food. A bit over priced, but this is an iconic restaurant so it didn’t bother me paying a larger price.

My steak was poorly cooked and had to send it back. The carrot cake was amazing. It is expensive to have any issues. The staff was great.

Jacob!!! A stellar and incredibly knowledgeable manager and so patient with an indecisive girly who knows very little about quality steak! He literally took the time to hop on the website and help me decide, all while managing the business. That’s what I call fine management. He genuinely cared about what would suit me best. 10/10 experience. Go to this place!!!

Beautifully decorated restaurant with attentive service, delicious food, and a live pianist that creates a great dining experience. Wish there was a location where we live.

Love the atmosphere, the wait staff are all so friendly and professional and very well versed on both the food and drink menus. The live music creates an energetic and fun environment that goes along with the OUTSTANDING steaks cooked to perfection. The girl (sorry, I don't know her name) that floats through the bar area ensuring every guest is well attended to, waters are topped off, drinks are served promptly, and all questions are answered is TOP NOTCH in terms of her hospitality, friendliness, and professional service. I will come to Jeff Ruby's 100% /every time I visit Nashville. Thank you for a wonderful meal and memorable night!

Very good place almost perfect in terms of food quality other than a few chewy pieces here and there. The staff fill your drinks for free non alcoholic if they see it empty even halfway which is impressive, and they are overall very friendly from the hostess desk to the servers and busers. My only problem with this place is the price point. Over $200 a person for a chain steakhouse is insane and even a little bit of chewiness in my meal is enough to drop the rating by a star which I had to do due to the price point. If this place was cheaper 5/5 but for the price point over $400 for two people in the Midwest it’s a 4/5. Decent location away from the zoo of people and nice place just very expensive, the wine in my opinion was ridiculously overpriced for regular glasses, $25-30 a glass is just insane to spend on a casual glass of wine, I could buy two bottles for this price of some types of wine. My only other ick was that my ice cream was frozen solid and not normal texture, not a big deal but it was a little bit of an ick to me. I didn’t want to complain since I was celebrating a birthday, but a few small things can add up quickly when you rate a place. Overall, I’m happy with this place, just a little more expensive than I would have hoped, especially considering it’s a chain and not a private restaurant. Go here to try but not cheap enough to go regularly.

We arrived about 25 minutes before our reservation and was seated in about 5 minutes which was a nice surprise wait staff was very kind, professional and attentive. As it was a first time experience for us they help make recommendations on the menu. The piano player was good and wasn't to loud does get a little crowd noise at times but not to bad, food was fantastic better then I could imagine but it is very pricey, but it's fun to go and try at least once would definitely recommend
