    Food and service 110%. Well trained staff. They only thing mediocre about the place is the music (how about playing Skyhooks? Inxs? Midnight Oil?) . And yes, we Aussies like our hot drinks in mugs not hipster little glasses so thank you for serving mugs on request!

    Absolute best breakfast/brunch!! Incredibly fresh, whole foods that are well prepared and deeeeelicious! Highly recommend the breakfast bowl and the yogurt/granola and the pancakes. But honestly, I think you can't go wrong with any choice here.

    Happy that something has finally taken over that space. Food was yummy, mostly friendly service. It’s just a weird space and always will be, and it will never be “comfortable” I will go back, and will hopefully be sat somewhere else. I overheard something about a downstairs??? Good value for the neighborhood. If you’re reading this… TRY IT!

    What a DELICIOUS meal I had on Friday night at Little Ruby's. It was quite busy at 6:15pm, and I now know why - the food and service were GREAT. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation since it seems like it's busy all the time. We had salads for dinner and the brussel sprouts appetizer, all was so tasty!
