    Came here for brunch on a rainy day so didnt get to enjoy their patio area, but the interior of the main hall was very cozy and nice. Perfect spot for brunch with the girls. The food leaves much to be desired though, especially considering the price. Tried out the vodka pasta after reading a lot of good reviews about it but i think flavor wise it was a bit flat. We also got the banana bread with passionfruit butter to share which was an interesting mix of sweet, sour, and salty that i actually enjoyed a lot but dont thinks it's worth the price.

    Spicy pasta with the chicken added

    Visited this after work with my husband and we had a great experience! I knew I wanted to try the spicy vodka pasta with the fried chicken on top- and it was delicious. The pasta was the real show stopper and I would def order again. My husband had the double patty cheeseburger, it was really flavorful, a little on the smaller side if you're really hungry but good flavor. The shrimp toast was something else I'd recommend, I don't have a pic but it was crispy toast with like a shrimp paste inside? Very flavorful. And the staff were so accommodating, should out to Jay and Emily- so helpful and kind, the team was very attentive and I really appreciate that.

    Foodie alert! I had the chance to dine at Little Ruby for brunch, and I would rate it 4/5. I'm subtracting a star because the location is quite hard to find since it's hidden off the street. Aside from that, the service was excellent. The food was even better, and the drinks were on point. It had a really cute, cozy vibe. It's an intimate restaurant with not a lot of space, but just enough to move around. Food: 4/5 BREAKFAST SANDWICH RICOTTA HOTCAKES CRISPY BRUSSEL SPROUTS DRINKS: 5/5 GUAVA COLADA ESPRESSO MARTINI

    Shrimp and avocado salad
    Anna C.

    Had a lovely evening with friends at this new spot! We all split the whipped avocado dip, I ordered a guava lemonade (YUM) and the shrimp and avocado salad. Service was quick, our waiter was friendly and very helpful when deciding what to order. I loved the decor of the restaurant, it is very dreamy and lush looking. It was pretty chilly inside so bring a jacket, but despite being busy, it wasn't overly loud because of the plush seating. They outside patio also looked like a great option for mild weather! I also took the crispy rice salad to-go and thought it was very good, but the halloumi was a little too salty.

    Sticky Date Pudding
    Abhinav K.

    It's a blend of cozy café comfort and understated style -- the kind of place that feels equally suited for a relaxed brunch or a casual, feel-good dinner. The service was great, and the server recommendations were on point. For starters, we had the burrata with a side of sourdough bread -- flavorful and well-balanced, with a nice touch of pear and a bit of crunch that elevated the dish. For mains, we ordered the Bronte and the Fried Chicken Burger. I really enjoyed the Bronte, but the fried chicken burger was a bit underwhelming (around a 4/10). On the side, we had French fries with truffle aioli and Brussels sprouts, and both were solid choices. Dessert was the highlight -- the sticky date pudding was an easy 11/10 and definitely one of my top three desserts in Dallas. For drinks, if you enjoy something with a kick, I'd recommend the Yuzu Jalapeño Margarita. We also tried the Espresso Martini, Little Ruby (gin-based), and the Guava Colada -- the guava colada was average (5/10), but the others were good. Overall, it leans more toward elevated comfort food. While everything was enjoyable, nothing besides the dessert truly stood out as extraordinary -- especially at this price point.

    Whipped avocado

    Lately I've been very skeptical about places from New York and LA coming to Dallas, so I went into Little Ruby's not expecting much, but I ended up loving it. The service was good and I felt welcomed by everyone. The menu has a lot of highlights, mainly the whipped avocado and the sticky date pudding (amazing). My only little concern is that the front gets very crowded because the door to enter/exit the restaurant is also the only door to get to the patio. There is a garage in the structure where they can validate parking to and they also have matchbooks if you're a collector!

    Spicy rigatoni with chicken
    Allison F.

    1. Food was not coursed very well. Salad came and then immediately our entrees did and all during this our appetizer wasn't done. 2. Water cups are WAY too small and water service isn't good. Table next to us and us never had water and it was frustrating to keep asking. 3. Service felt pushy trying to get us out in a hurry. 4. Margarita was like 95% ice, pretty flavorless. 5. Steak was a bit over cooked and no dressing on the arugula salad with it.

    Fries with aioli

    Little Ruby's ~ What I Ordered ~ - Strawberry Lemonade ($6) - Spicy Vodka Pasta ($21) - French Fries with Truffle Aioli ($8) - Sticky Date Pudding ($12) ~ Review ~ Little Ruby's is an Australian-inspired, all-day café that originally started in New York and has recently expanded to Dallas. The interior is quite narrow, with limited space to move around, but they do offer outdoor seating. I loved the decor and lighting of this restaurant. As for the service, I felt rushed throughout the meal. At one point, the waitress asked if I wanted my food boxed up while I was still actively eating, even though we had only been there for a little over an hour. That part definitely took away from the experience. The food also took a while to come out, and we weren't asked if we wanted dessert, which made the service feel inattentive overall To start, I ordered the strawberry lemonade. All of their juices are made fresh, and this one was very refreshing. For my main, I tried the spicy vodka pasta. It had a strong basil flavor, which made it taste different from a typical spicy vodka pasta. Since I'm not a fan of basil, I found it to be just average and have definitely had better spicy rigatoni elsewhere. Interestingly, it tasted better the next day, with a less pronounced basil taste. The fries came with an aioli sauce that was exactly what you'd expect - good, but nothing memorable. On their own, the fries weren't particularly a standout either. The highlight of the meal was the sticky date pudding for dessert. It was served warm with ice cream and was absolutely delicious. I especially appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet. Overall, I think this spot is better suited for drinks and dessert rather than a dinner. ~ Rating: 6/10 ~

    Spicy vodka pasta with shrimp

    Tried Little Ruby's Café for the first time last night and had a great experience. The space is super cute inside with a warm, slightly dark ambiance that feels perfect for either a casual dinner or a date night. The calamari was amazing and a great way to start the meal. I also tried a couple of the non-alcoholic drinks, the passionfruit ginger and the strawberry lemonade, and both were excellent and really refreshing. For cocktails, I had the spritz with prosecco and St-Germain, which was light, refreshing, and well balanced. Food-wise everything was really strong. The bolognese was delicious and the noodle texture was perfect. No notes there. The spicy vodka pasta was flavorful and actually had a real kick to it, which I appreciated. The salmon was the standout for me. It was cooked beautifully and the sauce it came in was incredible. Very velvety, flavorful, but still light. I would highly recommend ordering the salmon. Service was great, very attentive and kind throughout the meal. If they are newly opened, they are already off to a strong start. Definitely recommend checking it out and I'll absolutely be back within the next 30 days.

    Enjoyed a great lunch here on a rainy afternoon by starting the meal off with some of their truffle aioli fries (not pictured). You can tell this is a local favorite as nearly every table was filled. Both pastas came out piping hot and tasted delicious. I could see why they were as busy as they are.

    Went to Little Ruby's last week !! I was pleasantly surprised.. took a minute to actually find the front door .. hostess sat me immediately! Very spacious inside and out but I stayed inside. My sever Elena was great and very attentive . The pancakes were very tasty , light and fluffy.. great food runner !! My mimosa definitely hit the spot and the blueberry smoothie was a definite winner ( and the mint gave it a distinct taste... I love it !!

    The pastas here are next level!! So good!! I love good truffle fries. Little Ruby's does both just right. It's so cute and aesthetic here too. Don't miss out on the drinks either! Everything is good here.

    Spicy vodka pasta + truffle fries
    Kelsey R.

    Thanks to social media for introducing me to Little Ruby's! We were attending a show downtown and decided to have dinner beforehand. There is a parking garage underground and they validate parking. They said it would be $5 but we didn't get charged, so may change in the future! There was also some street parking by the apartments. We made a reservation for Sunday night, but didn't need one, which is good to know for future. We chose to sit on the patio, which is nice and shaded at 6pm. The patio is huge and the bench seats are very comfortable. They have little lamps for when it gets darker, but the flies started to get a bit annoying as the evening went on. I got the spicy vodka pasta and fries. The fries were delicious, as was the pasta, but the pasta wasn't hot and the fries could've used more aioli. I ate about half of each while there and the rest reheated wonderfully, but again, had no aioli for the other half of the fries. Servers seemed to rotate, or maybe just our table, which was a bit confusing. But our waters were refilled frequently, which was needed with tiny glasses. It was a nice dinner overall and I definitely would return!

The hotel property is like four legs under the table - a great location, a great hotel experience, a great restaurant experience, and a entertainment experience (The Mansion Bar). At least one leg has been kicked out, one is suffering. The Mansion Bar used to have a great recipe for success - proven by how busy and regular the customers were and loyal (or was), and the top tier talent that was routine for 10+ years. Me and my friends have a relationship with the long time staff as customers as well as the excellent music talent. The cause? Not precisely sure but I think it's new ownership, at the very least a new Food & Bev manager. I also know the staff is very upset about these changes and the relationships with the repeat music talent is now a mess. I wouldn't be surprise if the staff start leaving. I'm hoping whomever is making these decisions can revert back to what was working. Dallas has a lot of great venues that will fill this void.
