First class restaurant and a cant miss. The menu changes regularly and I don't think you can go wrong with anything they serve. The night we were there was a play on a Cobb salad, followed by steak with three sides, cheese board and a Oreo cheesecake. Each dish was . Service was also impeccable, with the staff taking all precautions with my fish allergy Overall, can't wait to go back!

I've been meaning to come to Ruby Watchco for quite some time, and I finally visited last weekend. And it was just what I had imagined. We made a reservation ahead of time, so as we walked in, the table was being set up just in time! The menu is pre set, which changes daily. There is a base $54 menu, or you can add $18 for a couple of supplemental items. We went all in without the wine pairings. Each dish was served family style, which really highlights the intimacy of the food and ambiance of this place. Fogo Island Cod Cakes (Supplemental) Small, perfectly cooked. Golden brown on the outside, moist, fresh and flakey on the inside. Great balance. Charred Brussel Sprout Salad with Slegers Living Greens, Romaine Hearts, Roasted Apples, Green Goddess, Pistachios, Honey Mustard Dressing If I could make this, I would have no problem having salad every day for lunch! Just so good! Pork Fried Rice with a Crispy Ginger Egg (Supplemental) Good ginger flavor that pairs well with all the other layers. The fried rice was a little hard for my taste, but good. Slow Roasted Striploin with Smoked Beef Cheek Marmalade Sides. The striploin was cooked to perfection, but putting that aside, the sides were also great. The sweet potato puree/mash was to die for. And the steamed broccoli and carrots were just really well done, although nothing too special. Handeck by Gunns Hill Artisan Cheese with Carrot Celery Salad, Pickled Mustard Seeds How can you say no to good cheese?! Triple Chocolate Brownie with Hot Fudge Sauce, Hazelnuts Sweet Cream This was a struggle after such a good meal. I just couldn't say no... just heavenly. The service was excellent. Everyone was friendly, down to earth and we didn't feel pressured to order anything we didn't want. I honestly have nothing bad to say. Make reservation ahead of time. Make sure to bring your appetite, and friends!

Took my wife here for her bday. It's a full set menu with an option to pair with wine. Gotta say everytime from food, atmosphere to service were awesome. I particularly liked the trout they served that night. My only small complaint was that my wife was pregnant and couldn't have the tiramisu so they subbed it with something else, which really wasn't good. I'd totally recommend going there though.

We came here for dinner with a large group for a birthday party and we were in the Ruby Attic . Innovative cocktail list. Our special menu was slow roasted beet salad, slow roasted striploin, artisanal cheeses and lemon pound cake. Everything tasted wholesome and delicious. Service was attentive and excellent. We had a dedicated server for the upstairs the whole night. When the main entree came we had a few extra servers to help. I had a nut allergy and they made the salad and other sides to the strip loin without nuts just for me. Decor is antique French farm house style, restaurant downstairs was bustling as well. Washrooms were a bit far for us dining upstairs. We had a great experience. Great place to try farm to table. Would like to try their regular menu next time.

I'm always a fan of Prix Fixe Dinner as you already know how much you will be spending with no surprises. Have been a fan of food shows and Chef Lynn Crawford is a part owner here along with Chef Lora Kirk. The 4 course menu for $58 changes daily and is posted online on Monday in advance for the entire week. You can also do a wine pairing for $42 extra. I went on the night where they were serving smoked pork loin and loved it. They also support local farms and have great side dishes. Highly recommended if you visit Riverside, Toronto!
