Have been here for drinks and it was great. Went for dinner for my friend's birthday and was not so great. We were seated in bar area which was super loud. The service wasn't great. We had to ask for them to take the menu's and wait staff seemed annoyed. Had to ask for basic things like extra plate after stating we were sharing which took a while. Caesar Salad was drenched in dressing. Inedible.

I went for a birthday. I'm came with a bottle of Champagne with us and the waiter chilled the bottle on ice. appetizers Parmesan truffle fries very good with the aïoli sauce. They came out fresh and hot. Then we ordered the oysters on the half shell which were also very well. The dish that was served that came out with. It was very appealing and the freshness of the oysters and the taste were exceptional. Then we proceeded to order the Mongolian spice wings. My personal opinion was that there was too much bread and not enough meat. The sauce that came with them paired very well. We then proceeded to order our main entrée. I ordered the lamb chops with the potatoes. Lamb chops were cooked medium and tasted very well with a chimichurri sauce. The potatoes were not the best I've ever had. They did not have any salt or pepper on them pretty plain. I also ordered the macaroni and cheese smoked. That was very good. The noodles were cooked thoroughly the truffle sauce that they use with the macaroni and cheese tasted really well 10 of 10 . we also ordered the salmon, it was a blackened salmon, no flavor very bland no salt no pepper. Do not recommend one out of 10. We also ordered a salad Ceasar very basic not flavor from the Caesar salad. I've had better six out of 10 for dessert. We ordered lotus cookie butter, ice cream 10 out of 10. We ended up having the salmon plate removed off of our bill and the price was OK my expectation from going from the appetizers into the main dish. Started off high and ended low. We also ordered two drinks, the old-fashioned, smoked whiskey and a Tamarindo spice. Margarita both of those were ok . Now at the end of our meal, we never received our champagne glasses. Neither did the waiter ask if we wanted to pour the champagne for the birthday celebration dessert so we paid the bill and picked up our bottle of champagne that we came in with and left.

Outside seating was beautiful. The staff turned on the heat lamps which helped as it got cooler. The corn was tasty, ribeye could have used some salt but it was cooked to my asking.

I recently dined at Rubys & Roses Restaurant and unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations.While the drinks were enjoyable, the rest of the meal left much to be desired. The hostess was notably rude, setting a negative tone from the start. The bread for the sliders was disappointingly hard, and the bone marrow lacked any actual marrow, resembling chopped flank steak on a bone drowned in olive oil. The fries were mediocre at best, failing to impress.The jambalaya was passable, but overall, the food failed to live up to the hype. I left feeling underwhelmed and unlikely to return. The only redeeming aspects were the decent ambiance and the kindness of our actual waitstaff.In summary, Rubys & Roses Restaurant fell short of expectations, and I would hesitate to recommend it to others.

I've eaten here a number of times, but at the window or very near. This evening at Sat away from the window is the main dining room and I literally was unable to see my food almost entirely. I recognized the noodles only because it was what I ordered, but I could see any of the other food. It was disturbing since I ordered with specific removal of items. There are always large groups, they are always as loud as possible.

Wow - I booked a business event here and I could not recommend Rubys and Roses more. Sadaf ( owner ) made everything so easy and made sure everything was smooth sailing the day of. The staff was incredible and provided an upscale experience that would not be forgotten. You are probably wondering about the food. Incredible, this turned my event from great to absolutely amazing. My clients are still talking about it and thanking me but the thanks belongs to the team at Rubys & Roses. I came back for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner and was blown away by the attention to detail. This place is a must visit - especially if you want to treat your special someone.

My husband and I had our Valentine dinner here. We had such a good time. The bartender was amazing he made us the most delicious drinks . I can't forget the two nice young ladies who welcomed us in.The server was very friendly. We ordered their delicious spicy and sweet calamari for appetizers. For the entrée, my husband ordered the salmon dinner and I ordered the T-bone steak, which was so delicious. It was cooked extremely well. It wasn't overcooked or undercooked. If you need a place to go to have a very nice dinner as a couple or as a family, this maybe the place you would like to visit. The restaurant is beautiful.

Let me start with the Service! Absolutely amazing! Everyone was very friendly and nice! And the ambience was amazing which is what attracted us over to Ruby And Rose for Valentine's Day. For the food we ordered the following: Beef Wellington - cooked to perfection with a very crispy top Bone marrow Asada - was good not the most impressive but I would order again Tuna Tataki - was the least favorite dish of everything we ordered Spicy Cioppino Pasta - was delicious and tons of seafood in it! TAMALE RAVIOLI - notice how I put it in caps? It's because this was our favorite dish!!! I would order a second one if I wasn't full!

We dined here for lunch for my husband's birthday. Great ambience, lovely opportunities to take great pictures. Food was good. Service was mediocre. Drinks were refreshing. We ordered Wellington, Burger, Cioppino and Lava cake and pineapple upside down cake. Wellington was served on mashed potatoes, so the bottom was soggy. The cook was not consistent. We ordered 3 of them; one was overdone, one was right, one was mid way. In all fairness, it's hard to get a Wellington cook right unless you're Gordon Ramsey! The Cioppino is supposed to be tomato broth based, but this was more creamy. Not what I expected. But tasty nonetheless. Lava cake (not a real lava cake with lava oozing out the center) was tasty. Upside down cake stole the show.

Beautiful ambiance and lots of area to take pictures! The food was great and the lychee clouds was AMAZING! I had lamb chops which is perfectly cooked! The calamari and bone marrow asada is a must try! Service was great and they also took pictures of us.

It was definitely a great experience. The people were great prices were great. Food was magnificent. If I tell you I want one to come to the SOLANO county area. I would eat there every day. It was just a great experience.
