Ruby Soho - Toronto

Initially, the restaurant appeared to be a vibrant place for drinks and dining. However, I found the cocktails to be excessively watered down. The music was turned up every 15-20 minutes, becoming so loud that it felt more like a nightclub than a dining experience. Additionally, the seating was incredibly uncomfortable, which detracted from the evening. On a positive note, our server was friendly and attentive. Despite the bustling atmosphere on weekends, I don’t think I’ll be coming back as a customer.

The service was fine, but the food left a lot to be desired. I can't recommend the ribeye fajitas; they seemed like they contained chopped steak, but it turned out to be just ground beef with a strong garlic flavor and cheese. It was very thin and came with sour cream and hot sauce—no salsa, unfortunately. At $22, it wasn't worth it. Fries are sold separately. While it might be a decent spot for drinks, I wouldn’t suggest dining here. The atmosphere was also quite dark inside.

This is a great spot for after-work nighttime fun. The bar was bustling with people, but surprisingly, it wasn’t as loud as some other places I've visited. The food and drinks were quite good, although the lobster N’mac cheese was a bit too salty, despite its good flavor. One downside was that, due to the crowd, it was challenging to get the waitress's attention when needed. Overall, it was a decent experience. If you live nearby, it's worth a visit, but I wouldn't recommend driving a long distance to get there.

I’ve been here once for drinks and the lychee spritz is so good. Also tried some of the appetizers and I liked the nachos. Very busy and fun environment!!

I liked that happy hour ends at 7pm here. Got the lychee spritz, poutine and nachos with a side of guacamole. The poutine was good. Can get busy, crowded and loud. But overall, happy hour prices were great! I'd come back for some more drinks. Cheers!
