Food was thoughtfully adapted to suit vegetarian preferences, without compromising on flavour or presentation. Portions were generous, the wine was excellent, and the ambience at Rubyos was warm and inviting—perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience.

First time after being on thier email list for a long time. Had their Easter Buffet. We are not big eaters so the deal was good value. A number of small shared dishes with a bottle of wine. The food was fine but nothing outstanding. The place was busy but did not seem to have much of a buzz. Good solid place for a meal, lots of deals. Big eaters may need to order extra. Good to see the cocktail bar next door happy hour is booming

We had the pre theatre $50 tasting plates with a glass of wine. Nice flavours served at the right pace before going to the Seymour Centre for the Wharf Revue.
