French toast
Eric C.

Service- the service was really good! Came here on Mother's Day for the brunch! Was sat quickly, waitress was very attentive and helpful! The vibe was really cool! Now to the food. They had a prefixed menu for the day which was cool. $60 a person basically. The Caesar salad was pretty good. I went with the French toast because I was having good decision struggles! I wanted it all!! The French toast was really good! I won't stress I had no protein to go with it! They mad French toast just how I liked it. My daughter has the steak, it was good to me. She picked at it! (It was $20 extra!) kids! It has a nice char and was seasoned well. My wife went with the street noodles with shrimp! I tasted it and it was really good! I would order that! The butter and bread was DELICIOUS!! Spa the butter then smash the garlic on it! You'll thank me later!! I would come here again and I recommend to any one reading this!

Creamy Jambalaya
Darryl W.

Our dinner group descended on Pleasanton Thursday night and enjoy dinner at Ruby's and Rose's restaurant. Our poop had a very nice table. There were seven of us and we could've used a little more space but they put two square tables together and see the one of our group on the end. Our server, Arturo was pretty good. He took our orders. He opened the bottles of wine that we brought with us and he also recommended some appetizers and drinks. Several members of our group had the old-fashioned, which was one of the signature drinks they had on their drink menu. We started off with calamari the poke tuna tacos and they were all delicious and I would definitely try them again. They disappeared so fast. I didn't get a chance to take any pictures. The taco order serve served with three tacos per order and the calamari place would rather large for appetizers. We had dishes ranging from myself, the jambalaya, my brother the lamb chop served with mashed potatoes, and some people had the Ramen noodles with shrimp and or chicken. Several members of our group also started off with salad and they split the salad, which turned out to be really big. Most of them were the Caesar. My jambalaya was really good. was a seafood jambalaya. It was also delicious, but I became full rather quickly and had to get the rest of it to go, which I thoroughly enjoyed this afternoon. All in all everybody in our dinner group really enjoyed rubies and roses compliment, not only the chefs and cooks, but also the staff, including our server Arturo. The ambience was really nice. Parking was ample both in front and back of the restaurant. The place was lit well enough and it looked really festive all around the restaurant inside and out. If you're ever in the Pleasanton area, I want to get a really good meal. There's many choices but I highly recommend that you check out Ruby's and roses and I can't wait to return.

Blackened salmon

I've had this place bookmarked for a while and I finally got to try it. It's a beautiful space with a large outdoor seating area with heat lamps. There are several areas to take pretty pictures. It can get loud. I felt like we had to speak louder to hear each other, that it bordered on embarrassing. Lol Food wise, there were no complaints from our table. I had the beet salad with salmon. It was so flavorful and a really big serving. We also enjoyed the chili calamari. Portions were a good size and we all left with to-go containers. Street parking was challenging. We had to walk several blocks, but it wasn't bad because we got to check out all the other restaurants and bars along the way.

Inside

To be honest, this place really only felt like it was for the aesthetic and decor. The food was not bad but it was nothing to write home about and service was really odd all night. I came here for my birthday dinner with my family and I enjoyed the ambiance but that's about it. They forgot things multiple times, like bringing out the appetizer about 10-15 minutes after the main dishes (and having to remind multiple times), forgetting the coffee we ordered, not having any serving spoons, and also forgetting the receipt with our check. It was also not clear what came with the dessert and we had to clarify if there would be sparklers. I don't think I would recommend this spot, although the decor was definitely pretty. We ordered truffle fries, jambalaya, spicy pasta, and lava cake. Again the food good, but was quite average for the prices.

We recently celebrated a bridal shower at this beautiful restaurant. We got there nice and early with staff ready and happy to help with anything we needed the room was already set with tables and settings. We added our own touches and when we needed help moving or adjusting they were glad to help right away. The food was also pretty good. Especially the garlic noodles, the presentation of each entree was gorgeous. And big enough for family style sharing. I would love to visit again for dinner

Bone Marrow Carne Asada
Kimberly L.

Came here for a girls' night out and overall had a nice experience with a few mixed feelings. We had reservations, and when we arrived the hostess let us know they normally require 75% of the party to be present before seating. However, the manager was very accommodating and let us get seated anyway--especially after I mentioned I needed a drink ASAP. That gesture set a good tone for the night. The ambiance is definitely a highlight. The restaurant has a modern, upscale vibe with sleek seating and luxurious ruby-colored chandeliers that make the space feel fun and elegant at the same time. We started with a bottle of wine from Wood Family Vineyards in Livermore. It had a nice woody taste, which we really enjoyed. Some of the girls ordered cocktails as well, and they all looked beautifully made. For appetizers, we shared the calamari and truffle fries. The calamari was a bit too crispy for my taste, but the sauce on top was nice--slightly sweet and sour. The truffle fries were flavorful, but a little disappointing since they weren't hot or crispy. Most of the group ordered entrées, which looked good, but I wasn't very hungry and ordered from the appetizer section instead. I went with the poke tuna tacos and asked if they could do four instead of the standard three. They were able to accommodate, though it came out to $25 instead of $19. The poke tacos were decent. I also shared the bone marrow carne asada with one of the girls--it was okay, but didn't seem to have much actual bone marrow, though there was plenty of meat. We finished with the lava cake and ice cream. It was fine, but nothing memorable. One thing that really surprised us was seeing gratuity taxed on the bill. I've honestly never seen that before, and it definitely caught us off guard. Outside, the restaurant has a nice logo display that's perfect for photos, definitely IG worthy. I wouldn't mind coming back to try other menu items, but I'm still a bit taken aback by the tax on the gratuity. Overall, a nice spot for ambiance and drinks, with some hits and misses on the food.

lemon drop with Titos ($20)
Gina H.

This place looks so charming from the reviews and website ... I am sad I couldn't give more than a 3. I think for the price of the drinks and food I expected more. I came here with a large group and they were already seated when I arrived however no one ordered food yet so I was ordering with the large group. However, my food came out DEAD LAST ... it came out even after people got their re-orders from food they didn't like. I didn't want to create a dramatic issue but honestly think a better apology or explanation would have been better than, oh your ticket slipped and fell. REALLY? That was a huge turnoff and makes me wonder if that's true as my order was on a ticket with over a dozen other ladies. I ordered the wings and waffle. The waffle came with a glob of cold butter and cold syrup. One of the other ladies had gotten the same thing and asked for warm syrup which I was able to get to try and use to melt the butter. Still didn't work. I think the wings were good... crispy, tasty but the waffle was just so so. I could make this waffle at home. The portion sizes are decent. Now for my drink. I ordered a lemon drop with Titos - $20? That's a lot. I can almost buy a whole bottle for that price. Service was subpar. I think the ambiance and decor is nicely set up and the free parking that is ample is nice but I won't be rushing back anytime soon. Being forgotten will definitely stick in my head for a long time.

Finally found a new favorite restaurant in Pleasanton! I've been seeing Ruby & Roses pop up on my feed for a while, and my best friend and I love trying new spots. We ended up celebrating my birthday a little late here, and it was absolutely worth it. The restaurant itself is beautiful--my friend took so many great photos. It has very romantic vibes, but I was also surprised by how many larger groups were dining there, like work teams out for dinner. There are so many photo-worthy spots throughout the space. Now, let's talk about the food. I started with a glass of Pinot Noir. The truffle fries had great flavor, though they could've been cooked a bit longer. That said, the Caesar salad was incredible. It's so hard to find a restaurant with a truly good Caesar dressing, and this one nailed it. I'm literally craving it as I write this. We split it as an appetizer, and it's a generous portion--if you order it on your own, definitely add chicken or salmon. For our mains, my friend ordered the blackened salmon and I had the lamb chops. The truffle purée and potatoes that came with the lamb were a bit too salty for my taste, but the lamb itself was cooked absolutely perfectly. The blackened salmon was also a hit--no misses there. We were both very happy with our dishes. We finished with the molten cake, and I asked nicely if they could add raspberries and almonds, which they happily accommodated. Overall, this place still deserves five stars. There were a few minor things I would personally tweak, but we'd absolutely come back to try more dishes. That Caesar salad, though? I'm ordering it again--no question. Definitely check this place out!

Stopped in for a cocktail with a friend. We enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant. Service was excellent! One of bartenders, Arturo was kind enough to share a taste of the watermelon juice (that he had freshly squeezed in the morning and no sugar added) for their Watermelon Margaritas. It was fresh and sweet! The drinks were top notch! See the photos for the details.

Bone Marrow Carne Asada- delicious!
Jennifer B.

Food was delicious! The little Chinese food box is odd to have on the plate- I get it, it's a design/plating thing but it was wasteful because you don't use it as a to go container. So anyway.. Service was prompt and friendly. We had a great little corner table near the windows, ambiance is lovely and decoration/style of the restaurant was really nice.

Alex T.

The ambiance of the restaurant is truly spectacular a true gem to take pictures at. I got myself the French toast and while it was delicious it came out alittle cold not hot like I expected it to be which was a little disappointing. My friend got the chicken and waffles and said it was delicious chicken but waffles were a little dry. The drinks came out perfect though and we even had a little appetizer of truffle fries to share. The servers were attentive and caring so they did try their best with giving good service. The overall experience was 8/10 recommendation . I think it's a great spot to go with girlfriends and take cute photos I'll say that! I'll maybe go again but for dinner next time

Tamale Ravioli
Harvir H.

Went here for my wife's birthday dinner. Ambiance was good. Food and Service was underwhelming. Food * Filet Wellington: 4/10 * Garlic Lovers: 7/10 * Tamale Ravioli: 7.5/10 * Old Fashioned 7/10 * Sidecar 3/10 The staff upfront was friendly and nice. The seating arrangement was good and comfy. Definitely cool building design. I would have preferred a different server, the times I tried to talk to him he would freeze up and avoid eye contact. Got to the point where I would avoid talking to him and I would talk to other staff members to order. Additionally I mentioned ahead of time that it was my wife's birthday but that was never mentioned, kind of disappointing for a "nicer" place. Also had to ask multiple times to get my sidecar cocktail. The highlights I would say were the garlic bread appetizer, the Old Fashioned and lastly the Tamale Pasta which was very unique. The Filet Wellington was not good. It said it would come medium rare and it it was either rare or blue, parts of it inedible. It was also under-seasoned. The Demi Glace was okay, but wasn't flavorful as a typically Demiglace would be. The mashed potatoes tasted mainly of horse radish. The Sidecar was not balanced, i needed to squeeze about a full lemon to get to be drinkable. 2/5, wouldn't really recommend this place for a celebratory occasion. Maybe just drinks and snacks. Pretty disappointing.

Street Noodles
Christine M.

We had a holiday party here and they did a fantastic job taking care of us. The restaurant itself is very cute and charming. The service was quick and smooth. The food was solid and delicious. The calamari was tasty. We had a fun mocktail that was nice and refreshing. I had the street noodles. Which was their take on garlic noodles. Very cute presentation. Only thing was, the spice level was different between 3 folks. My coworker had a super spicy one. Mine was a bit bland, while my other coworker had a very well seasoned looking one. Still had a lovely time, and would recommend for a group gathering and great spot for pictures.

I secretly don't want to review this place because I don't want anyone to find out about this, but…read moreit was such an amazing cocktail bar and I cannot wait to go back. I found this place on Instagram and came out for drinks one night it's somewhat of a hidden door as it is a speakeasy so come prepared with the password. We only had to wait a few minutes on an early Friday evening, but got in fairly quickly. From the entrance to the bathroom to the seats, everything was just so cute. Besides the ambience, drinks were delicious. I got some drink that had some bell pepper flavors and it's surprised me in the best way possible because who knew you could have some bell pepper essence in a drink. Seriously, top 5 cocktail lounges in my opinion.

The cocktails here are pricier but I would come back for special occasions or when we have visitors. They had signature drinks but also a limited specials menu. The specials included a drink with Thai flavors (galangal, coconut, kefir lime leaf, Thai chili, butterfly leaf tea, etc) and it was so good! I hope they keep this drink on the menu and I'm excited to see what new craft cocktails they come up with. Overall a fun experience to add to your night out in Downtown Livermore!

The people who run this place keep this place tidy and clean as evidenced by how quickly they cleared my glass and the cleanliness of the bathrooms. I missed the rock n' roll memo, but amazingly talented singers including the KJ himself. The sound system can be pretty loud especially the bass, so ended up keeping my ear plugs in. My only major reservation is how the karaoke queue is managed. Couldn't help but notice the bartenders and some patrons who generously tipped got to sing multiple times in a row. One of the patrons tipped $20 and sang three songs in a row. In comparison, I got one song in in the span of three hours. I kind of expected the place to start clearing out after midnight but ppl stuck around and seemed to be having a good time. If you're not into rock n' roll/metal karaoke, they also have pool, shuffleboard, and darts. I do like the KJ and the patrons here, though in the future, I'll just set the expectation that I'll get one song in and set a curfew for myself.

They happily accommodated. Given our table map, the room was a bit cozy for forty but no problem for the waitstaff. The room itself is private, lots of windows, big buffet table and wine area, so it was all good. Waitstaff and venue were great, but what made the event special was the very high quality of the food: gourmet shrimp appetizer, flatbread, salad, chicken kabob, filet mignon kabob (no exaggeration), and Oasis salmon, plus rice, asparagus, mashed potatoes, chocolate mousse cake for dessert, coffee, tea, sodas. AND... they sent our family home with the leftover food, quite a lot that we've polished off since. Charge was $69 per person, three kids counted as one person for a special pizza, 20% service, tax, poured wines from a reasonably priced wine list. Total bill came to $4,000. So... Five stars. And whatever we asked for, Efren and Sadaf said, "No problem," and it wasn't. THANKS to Oasis!

Great back patio, delicious menu…read more My husband and I popped by for a late lunch on a Friday, and their back patio was almost full. We ordered their Brusselsprouts and short rib sandwich to share and the proportions were perfect, just enough food and we didn't leave a morsel behind. Their short rib sandwich was heavenly and the chimichurri sauce plus grilled peppers elevated the experience. If you're torn about ordering a full shareable of the habanero fries, here's an insider tip: we asked for a side of their habanero sauce to go with our side of fries so we would still have enough room for their short rib sandwich! Their sprouts were phenomenal. Loved the sweat punch added by the cranberries and shaved carrots to balance the charr of the brussels. Will 1000% be returning to check out their dinner menu. I haven't had a milanesa since I was in Argentina, but I trust Brava to meet the assignment!

1 star…read more "Unfortunately, our experience at Brava Garden Eatery for my wife's birthday was disappointing from start to finish. When making the reservation, I specifically noted that this was a birthday celebration and selected covered outdoor patio seating through the reservation system. When we arrived on time, we were told there were no tables available in the area your reservation platform had offered us. To make matters worse, after a staff member asked us which available table we preferred, we pointed one out, only for another waiter to immediately give that exact table away to a smaller party while we stood there as a party of six. That set the tone for the evening. Service throughout the night lacked professionalism and hospitality. One male waiter, approximately in his 40s with slicked-back hair, was consistently rude, dismissive, sharp in tone, and visibly uninterested in helping our table. His behavior affected our entire party and made us feel unwelcome. Management should seriously address his service etiquette and overall conduct toward guests. The most disappointing part was the complete lack of acknowledgment of my wife's birthday. Throughout dinner, we watched several other tables celebrating birthdays receive desserts and recognition from staff, while our table received absolutely nothing despite the restaurant being informed ahead of time. At the end of dinner, we were simply handed the bill with no acknowledgment whatsoever. My wife even turned to me and asked, 'What about my birthday?' and honestly I had no answer for her. The evening felt careless, disorganized, and poorly managed. We did not receive the seating we reserved, experienced rude service, and the special occasion we communicated in advance was completely ignored. Overall, it was a poor dining experience and not somewhere I would currently recommend."
