Average to good food, smallish portion sizes, expensive. The mixed menu has good variety but portion sizes small. Generally, nice atmosphere, good food, nice place for dinner.
If you are going to serve set menus of numerous small courses, then every serve has to be quite to very good. You also need enough bread to finish the pt, after all some animals died to sacrifice their livers and the least we can do is not waste it. We didn’t get enough bread to finish it, a mere three thin slices of so-so bread. [It was nice pt though ]Overall, it was just OK, I would not go twice, especially at the price. Wine was also very expensive, or perhaps it was just Sydney.
We went with the vegan banquet which had 8 dishes. There were some pleasant dishes while some not so great ones. The guacamole crostini was tasty but it is also hard to go wrong with avocado. The sweet potato salad had a zesty dressing which was nice. I thought the cauliflower arancini was nice also but a little dry. Unfortunately nothing else was particularly memorable. The fried tofu had a strange combination of flavours.Other than that, the service was lovely and the restaurant itself has great vibes. Can be romantic or a chill dinner with friends.
My friend and I shared the $65 Celebration menu and it was amazing! The only bad dish was the chicken which was a little dry and bland, but everything else was flavoursome and so satisfying. We were so full by the end of the course. Totally worth it!
Our experience here on a Friday evening was very good. Service all throughout was brilliant, wait staff were friendly and prompt. We had the seafood banquet, the dishes all arrived in quick succession of one another. Each dish was prepared and cooked to perfection. Portions were small, however, we were rather full at the end of our banquet. So satiety was not an issue, neither was bloating.Highly recommended, the main reason I selected this restaurant was for its large range of gluten free options. The only negative side was the slightly steep prices. We would still definitely return.
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 and warm grazing options. I’ve listed them in order of my preference:baked atlantic salmoncurried cauliflower arancinicharred eggplant involtinismoked salmon & nori seaweed rouladeThe baked atlantic salmon is one of their signature dishes and I can see why.The food was fresh, flavourful and more substantial then expected. The wine options were good and we settled on a white. However, I was most impressed by the longneck bottle of Young Henrys. Had never seen a bottle like that… crazy and funny stuff.I’ll definitely return!
On the quieter end of Newtown, Rubyos is a nice place for catchups or date nights. The menu is designed to be shared and has influences from different parts of the world – surprisingly it works! My favourite from the night were the calamari which is so tender and the rosewater panacotta which is light and perfect in sweetness.
