- birthday dinner, party of 14
Had a birthday celebration for 14, the food options were great and served family style with plenty for all. Very attentive wait staff especially given the size of our group.
- birthday dinner
I hosted my birthday dinner at Little Ruby’s West Village and had an amazing experience from start to finish. Breighanna Minnema was incredible to work with throughout the planning process as she was responsive, thoughtful, and made the whole experience stress-free. She helped me craft a personalized menu and the table was set up beautifully in a quiet corner with attentive staff. Everyone commented on the table set-up and loved the whole experience, could not recommend Ruby’s West Village enough for events or special occasions!!
- group dinner
Had the pleasure of attending a group dinner at little Ruby’s. Very well organized by the Ruby’s team. We had a food package that was diverse and mindful of dietary restrictions. Our server Selena was incredible. She was attentive and friendly. I would recommend this location and ask for Selena if you can!
- birthday dinner, party of 9
went as a party of 9 for a birthday. service was good, food came out very quick for such a large party. water cups are ridiculous—a small plastic cup? seriously? can’t even give us glass? ordered lots of creamy chicken pasta and the pasta was terribly overcooked in all of our orders. one of our friends ordered their 16 dollar cheeseburger and it was literally only a cheeseburger on a small plate, 0 sides. pathetic. truffle fries were great tho. when the bill came we were confused as to how to separate it but ended up pooling all together to make things easy, yet this man (who wasn’t our original server) had a huge attitude about things and was unnecessarily snappy. this place is not worth it.
- birthday celebration, party of 10
Came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday. It was a like 10+ of us in the service was very efficient. Overall the aesthetic is amazing and staff very friendly. Food was pretty good and everyone had a great time.
