Decided to check out Rubyos before heading to a gig at Leadbelly as the restaurant is just steps away from our venue. Did some research and Rubyos delivered on my high expectations. I was looking for a nice restaurant with great vegetarian and seafood food. The only disappointing thing were the extended-happy hour cocktails. They lacked a wow-factor, but maybe that's because I use Eau De Vie as my standard.
The team at Rubyos are fantastic. Very friendly, engaging and attentive. Frankly, they made the eating experience even that much more enjoyable.
So, lets get to the food. Four sharing plates were ordered, two each from their cold a...
Our experience here on a Friday evening was very good. The service throughout all was brilliant, waiting for the staff friendly and prompt. We had the seafood banquet, the dishes all arrived in quick succession. Each plate was prepared and cooked for perfection. Portions were small, but we were rather full at the end of our banquet. So the saturation was not a problem, neither flowering.

Highly recommended, the main reason why I selected this restaurant was for its large selection of gluten-free options. The only negative side was the slightly steep prices. We would still definitely return.
rubyos was always a bit creatiw in their menus. I haven't been there since I got vegan, and I'm glad I made the return visit. they have a series of banquet menus, including a dedicated vegan banquet at just $40 it is amazing worth. I enjoyed all the dishes, and while small it all added up to a fulfilling meal. the chat potatoes were a bit too salty, but otherwise crispy and delicious. it is indically influenced, which ensures a tasteful experience. the good at a banquet/degustation is that someone always visits the table with the next dish, so that the service is always easy.
The worst dining experience I've had in years so much so that I've written a review. waitstaff one customer focused, the other appalling. The food was hideous. We came before a show and had hours to get out and left before the last course came. It was probably a good thing because the food was worse than anything I've eaten in the dodgiest places anywhere in the world. Fix your restaurant or close it down.

I had the 8-course-degustation style banquet. every cure was well presented and delicious. portions were small (as degustations tend to), but I felt satisfied at the end. so much I didn't use the vegan sorbet or the vegan hot chords they also offer. the personal was beautiful and exactly the correct amount of attention. it made for a very special night.
Nice upmarket restaurant although maybe not as good as its prices suggest. The smoked salmon duet mixed with some fresh flavours was good but a tiny serve. The steak and mash was a lot bigger and pretty good but maybe not the superb steak that you'd expect from the price. Really nice place though.
My friend and I shared the 65 dollar celebration menu and it was amazing! The only bad court was the chicken, which was a bit dry and Fad, but everything else was tasteful and so satisfying. We were so full until the end of the course. It's worth worth!
Just up the road from 1989, you'll find yourself bang smack in the middle of the nineties with Rubyos' Four-Course Grazing Brunch ($25/head).

Rubyos is set far away from the hustle and bustle of king street but certainly holds its own.
