From the outside, Ruby's hip, tavern-like decor beckons the senses. But my experience with this restaurant's 'international' food ought to teach me not to judge a book by it's cover. This is the restaurant right next to Flowers--which technically has it's own name, but the food and service is so indistinguishably bad that it really doesn't matter. I ordered the 'Monk's Curry' which was essentially eggplant drowning in cooking oil. Even excessive amounts of Sariacha sauce couldn't salvage this dish. My boyfriend ordered the 'Seven Spice Beef' which was beef stir-fried in some tomato paste mixture. If I wanted tomato paste I would got to Pizza Hut, thanks. This experience has taught me that 'international cuisine' restaurants cast too wide of a culinary net--they can't make any one type of food extraordinarily well, but they can make a whole lot of simple foods extraordinarily sub-par. I will stick to the booze menu next time.
