Elegant and clean environment! Excellent service! Food is exquisitely delicious, especially cedar plank catch, veal meatball, and weekly special omelet with lobsters. The bread is soft and airy. I definitely recommend this restaurant for family orromantic celebration.

Enjoyed dinner here for our anniversary, pomegranate Martinis were tasty, sensation salad with pistachios was different which I liked the crunch.... Entrees were Mahi on the Cedar Plank and a 16oz Ribeye for the man ; And of course the Anniversary browniewas very rich. Make sure you bring your pocketbook!! Overall a nice evening, nice atmosphere and the service was great.

Went here for a team dinner and everything was beyond my expectations! From drinks to appetizers to main entrees and even desserts!!! The customer service was impeccable, and they catered to our needs even adding an extra table to accommodate us! Irecommend their special cocktails, but they have MANY selections! Their duck fingers appetizer were a hit in our group but Ithink their app sampler is the best value. Our group mostly got steak and nothing but positive feedback was given. They have agreat selection of pasta dishes. The dessert selection, however, was the biggest hit personally… brownie, BREAD PUDDING, cremebrûlée, trifle… I mean… it was hard to decide which one to get! Thank you Ruffino’s for a great experience!

Enjoyable experience at this restaurant! I sat in the bar area since it was only me. The service from the bartenders was great, the drinks were strong, and the food was delicious. I ordered the BBQ shrimp pasta, which I recommend. I’ve had a bbq shrimppasta in New Orleans that wasn’t this good. Plus, you get a hot log of bread with dipping sauce so what’s not to love? Woulddefinitely stop here again during my travels.

Everything was top notch! We needed to add 3 people to our reservation and they were very accommodating. We enjoyed the apps, main courses, desserts, and drinks. The service and ambience is unbelievable.. they make you want to stay in there all day! Our out of town guests said that they would be back to Ruffino’s next time they’re in town. Best all around!
