As Music City continues to rapidly evolve and grow, one thing is for sure, it now has a multitude of fabulous restaurants where visitors and locals alike can enjoy a top-notch dining experience. Nashville, now considered one of the great restaurant meccas, features many specialty restaurants, James Beard recognized chefs, and Nashville favorites that have become staples over the decades.
Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse, a highly acclaimed Cincinnati based restaurant, opened in Nashville in 2016, and has since become one of Music City’s favorite steakhouses. The eclectic Art Deco styled restaurant and bar occupies 10,000 square feet on the ground floor of the UBS Tower and showcases beautiful grand chandeliers, an elegant white baby grand piano at the bar all nestled in an upscale sophisticated atmosphere.
The Jeff Ruby story began when he opened his first steakhouse in 1981 in Cincinnati, with the intention on building a total dining experience unlike anything his guests have ever seen. Almost 4 decades later, that vision is stronger than ever with Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouses operating in Cincinnati, Lexington, Louisville, Columbus, and Nashville, as well as, two other steakhouse brands, The Precinct and Carlo & Johnny located in Cincinnati.
He has often said that people don’t go to his restaurants because they are hungry, they can go to the refrigerator for that, but he believes his guests go there to celebrate life. And for each and every one of those guests, Jeff Ruby makes it a priority to deliver the very best steaks, freshest seafood, & sushi, live entertainment, and absolute impeccable service. He calls this philosophy the Jeff Ruby experience.
Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouses are perhaps best known for their steaks, nationally acclaimed U.S.D.A. prime beef that has earned rave reviews from renowned critics and connoisseurs to celebrities and everyday steak lovers alike. The product is the best of the best: personally-sourced purebred heritage black angus that is simply unavailable to anyone else in the country.
Their sushi and raw bar is one of the best in the city offering a stunning array of sashimi and nigiri, as well as, classic and specialty rolls. The raw bar specialties include Alaskan red king crab legs, huge tiger shrimp and a rotating menu of the freshest east and west coast oysters.
They have received both local and national recognition for their efforts. Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse has been named Nashville’s #1 Best Steakhouse by Nashville Scene’s Best of Nashville Reader’s Poll, 2019, one of the downtown’s best restaurants, and have received multiple diner’s choice awards through opentable.com. Their restaurants have also earned accolades from Wine Spectator, TRAVEL + LEISURE, USA Today, Zagat, and many more.
Most noteworthy, though, is perhaps the ongoing trust and unwavering loyalty given to this brand by its guest and friends. This devotion is very rare in today’s rapidly changing landscape in the hospitality industry and it speaks volumes about the manner in which Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse team values it’s guest on a nightly basis.
