Ruby used to be one of my favorite restaurants. But I think they got a new chef because the food just hasn't been the same. I used to love the Lamb Bumbu, but it hasn't been very good the last few times. Last time I went, just a few days ago, I tried the Ahi Tuna sandwich. It was, hands down, the absolute worst seafood I have ever had. The fish was maybe 1/4" thin and cooked until it was beyond well-done. We're talking shoe leather here. Overcooking Ahi Tuna apparently gives it a pretty nasty flavor. I actually had to go somewhere else to get something to take the taste out of my mouth. The waiter was none too friendly and was insensitive enough to seat me right next to a couple in the process of breaking up, complete with tears and everything. (There were plenty of empty seats. You'd think he could give them some semblance of privacy.) For the first time in my life, I refused to give any tip whatsoever. I used to go to this place about once a week. Lately, more like once every few months. Now, I've finally given up on the old Ruby and am never going back.
Pros: A nice big window to watch all the people walking by on their way to better restaurants
Cons: lousy food, subpar service, no parking
