I wish I could give Ruibin 5 stars but the items we ordered were not all 5 star items although I'd go back for the seafood ceviche alone and just eat that and the tomato salad and call it quits. - bread and butter provided at no charge were excellent - 5/5, soft chewy bread with a nice crust - sweet potato and split pea puree with pistachio and pita - 4/5, yummy and a solid offering - seafood ceviche - 5*/5 this was truly the star of the night. Deliciously fresh with two large round fresh tortilla wafers so so good! - duck breast - 5/5, this was my partner's outstanding dish - the duck was perfectly done and with a crisp skin. Wish I'd ordered this one. Instead (having had fish for the last seven meals!), I ordered - pastrami bavette (sliced steak with a very heavy crust of very salty spicy pastrami seasoning). The server did warn me it would be spicy and it definitely was - a bit too much so and salty too - perhaps if they had seasoned it a bit more lightly / the end piece that were mostly pastrami seasoning were almost inedible they were so salty. The potato side that came with it was delicate and crisp and delicious, I did eat a lot of the steak just around the pastrami crust and I did not have the bleu cheese since I don't care for bleus- that may have softened the saltiness, maybe - tomato salad - 5/5, this was excellent and light with juicy tomatoes, radish slices, some greens We didn't see anything appealing on the dessert menu so skipped that part, We're glad we tried Ruibin and would definitely go back for the ceviche alone!

Every dish we ordered was good: oysters with rhubarb salsa; sweet potatoes/split pea dip with pita; tamarind beef skewers; mushroom dumplings; beet salad and the amazing ceviche. All are small plates perfect for sharing. Everything was excellent though the dumplings were under spiced. One fun note: they sell glasses of mystery wine, high quality wine not listed on the menu and you guess what it is. We had a few! Padraic o conaire, the Irish author that Galway likes to talk about, lived where the restaurant is based now. The rooms are filled with plants and photos; as well as jars of liquor being infused for future cocktails. Reservations are mandatory but not too hard to get in the bar.

We're just about there when the manager comes up behind us and said he found a table. Pretty impressive service. The table was in a medium sized room away from the music which was great as you could hold a conversation. Our server came over quickly to take our drink orders and once we had the drinks be places our order, cottage pie and fish and chips. The cottage pie was served in a small, but not too small oval baking dish with a nicely browned top on the potatoes. It also came with a side of gravy which was a nice touch. Digging in there was a good amount of pulled well seasoned brisket with carrots mixed. Very tasty dish. The fish and chips arrived with a good portion chips and a moderately sized piece of well fried fish. The fish was very fresh and flaky and the breading was very light so it didn't over power the fish. We had a pleasant meal with two great servers, a manager that wouldn't give up on finding us a table and great music (acoustic guitar) to keep us enter. Definitely a great place for drinks and a good meal and one that we will gone back to.

My wife was thrilled to find Sheppards Pie she could try. They have a lot of beer on draft, including a local IPA. The atmosphere felt like a polished authentic pub.

They occasionally forget an item, but it's an easy fix if you just head back up to the register and let them know. They had a special going for the fish and chips, but the catch (pun intended ) was that the fish was hake instead of cod. I decided to save a few dollars and give it a try... and honestly, I regret it. Hake has a noticeably fishier flavor, so my advice is to shell out the extra few bucks for the cod. The food came out quickly and was good overall, but I found it a little bland on its own. Definitely grab a sauce for dipping--the curry sauce adds a nice kick, and the tartar sauce is a solid choice too. Overall, a quick and casual spot with decent food and speedy service. Just get the cod. Trust me.
