  Just wow. 2nd time around is really the charm. I absolutely loved the Bronte burger and fries (and the sauce they had). Just thinking about this makes my mouth water...
  
  The first time around, I didn't really like the food, and it has been awhile. I've heard my sister and my friends rave about how Ruby's is so good and I refused to try it again. However, I finally got pulled in. The Bronte Burger is so perfectly sauced. It was so juicy and you couldn't even taste the tomatoes. It was just perfectly stacked together and was so tasty. The fries are so thin and crispy, my favorite!!
  
  We also ordered the creamy chicken pasta and it was okay. I did like how the pasta was cooked though, I'll give it that. But the sauce was a bit too creamy and overwhelming.
  
  I would definitely come back for the burgers in no time at all!

  Just went to Ruby's for the first time, and, as it reads here next to the four-star rating, "Yay! I'm a fan."
  
  I went on a weekday at around 12:15pm, and we got a table no problem; within 15 minutes, there was a line out the door. On a weekday. In Soho. That speaks to how popular Ruby's is!
  
  We both had salads -- mine was the Chicken Avocado salad, which was so fresh and delicious. It even looked pretty -- edible flowers on the top. Our server was delightful; didn't rush us at all, even when the line started forming. They have two spaces in Soho next to each other, so don't be discouraged by any interior photos that show it to be small; there are more seats than you think.
  
  Definitely plan to return here to try other dishes!

  Have heard many people go to Ruby's and also have walked by many times! The place gives me strong trendy Cali vibes with a nice classy touch of NY. I was pleasantly surprised that on a Friday afternoon I only had to wait a few minutes for a table of 2.
  
  The interior really contributes to a laid back vibe - this makes a lot of sense since it's Australian
  
  Ordered the pesto pasta with chicken ($4 for added chicken isn't always fun) and really liked it! The textures were all on point (I like my pasta more al dente) and the flavor of the pesto was strong without feeling overpowering
  
  One star off mainly because it's not the most stand out food you'll get in the city and because prices are so so, for instance my friend got the beyond burger for $14 and it didn't come with any sides or additions

  I came here with a girlfriend last night for dinner. We didn't have a reservation, so we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table.
  
  The interior of the restaurant is nice and intimate, there were a lot of people on dates. Unfortunately, though, we were seated right next to the door which was uncomfortable because it was so cold outside.
  
  The service was just ok: no one came over to ask us how our food was or if I wanted another glass of wine. The food was good though, I really liked the chicken and avocado salad I ordered. Though I will say, it wasn't a ton of food, especially considering the price.
  
  I liked how they had both healthy options like salads, and not-so-healthy options like pasta.

  My friend recommended this place after one of his friends took him here. I've never actually had Australian food, so I wasn't sure what kind of cuisine I'd be trying. I was only familiar with vegemite and I heard it's terrible lol
  We ordered the shrimp pasta and the green eggs bowl, which the waitress recommended. I loved LOVED the shrimp pasta. The shrimps were tender and seasoned perfectly, the sauce was light and creamy, and the arugula and the chili oil was such an interesting flavor combination. The green eggs bowl was also good but it felt like something that could be easily recreated at home. It was scrambled eggs topped with all sorts of greens; kale, spinach, avocado, and peas, with salsa verde and a bit of olive oil, I think, on top. We were surprised how full we were and were each a bit sad because we wanted to also try the banana bread with passion fruit butter. I love me some banana bread and it's hard to ignore something as unique as passion fruit butter, so I'll try that next time I'm in the area
