“Took a small party out for my wife's birthday. The food was great, and served quickly after ordering. I particularly liked the kumara fries! Was a great recommendation from the owner. Service was exceptional, you can tell when someone actually cares about their patrons. It showed in the number of people inside the business. It was a rainy Sunday evening and the resteraunt was at capacity! There was live music and good vibes in abundance. Despite being busy the proprietor checked on us multiple times, and once the live band had finished and a few people had left a table cleared inside which he offered to us for a more pleasant experience. Thank you for the hard work, we will be back!”

“Service was outstanding. We were asked if we needed more drinks and they were brought to us without a long wait. Staff were friendly and informative with ordering food from the island bar next door. Food was excellent. Our table ordered tacos, pizza, wings and burgers. We didn't have to wait long either. Maybe 20 mins which I thought was reasonable as it was very busy on both sides. Atmosphere was great. You could pick to sit in either a booth, bar leaner, couches or outside tables. Bathrooms were clean and easy to find. Not suitable for children however the Island bar next door is fully decked out for families and large groups as ruby's is a smaller space. Menu prices were reasonable aswell and the drinks were real, not watered down/cheap booze. Although there is plenty of parking, it does pack out so pays to car share to save any hassle.”
