Oysters were amazing. Lamb and scallops were grilled to perfection. The foie gras was mindblowing. Inspite of the good food, their really refreshing Singapore Sling is reason enough to keep coming back. Service was excellent. They also have a somelier on standby to recommed wines by the bottle or to pair with the meal.
I'm that kind of person who will splurge when it comes to food. As a foodie, I am also always on the hunt for good food that doesn’t break my wallet. However, I am also a firm believer that there are some places you would spend for, for the ultimate gastronomical experience.
I’ve always wanted to dine here, but was skeptical for a while due to the higher price point. My curiosity got the better of me though - and I’m glad it did. I would admit, my dining experience here is one of the best.
First things first - the ambiance, I really love! It’s perfect for dates, but also nice to dine with friends and family. But if you want to dine here alone, that’s fine too, because it’s really quiet here. The staff are also friendly and really accommodating.They are willing to help first-timers like me in ordering.
Next. The food. They introduced their new menu last May 2019 and though, I am not a fan of fine dining, in general, because some of the places I’ve dined, were overpriced with standard tasting food. But, no regrets paying for the bill afterwards in Ruby Jack’s.
Teppan Grilled Foie Gras
⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a way to start the meal. The Japanese style soy sauce and daikon really complements the richness of the foie gras.
A3 Wagyu Steak w/ Cartlidge Browne Cabernet Sauvignon Pairing
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
They have a bunch of steak options, from their Wagyu selection with different grades, their 45-day dry-aged selection, and John Dee Super Gold Grain-Fed Steaks. So, we asked the waiter to recommend a steak and wine pairing for us, that suits our taste - since I don’t like too much marbling from the A5 in my steak. We had our steak medium, and it was soft, and marbled just right. Definitely one of the best steaks I’ve had.
Wagyu Enhanced Steak Rice
⭐⭐⭐⭐
For sides, we chose their rice, because we really wanted rice for our steak. And the rice was really flavorful, with real beef chunks.
Truffle Mac and Cheese
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We also ordered their truffle mac, as recommended by our waiter, and it’s one of the best I’ve tried, because the truffle aroma and flavor is really strong, but doesn’t overpower the cheese. The panko crust on top gives the mac and cheese more texture and bite.
Dessert Plate for Two⭐⭐⭐⭐
To end the fantastic meal, we ordered the Dessert for Two plate that features three of their signature desserts:
Pandan Pavlova
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Really good mix of the buko pandan sago, fruits, and kaya jam. Their buko ice cream is good too.
Cranberry Pomegranate Agar
⭐⭐⭐
Very refreshing to eat after the rich Pavlova, with fresh fruits and peach sorbet.
Double Baked Cheesecake with Rosemary Ice Cream - Passion Fruit Curd
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Really love this one - the cheesecake tastes like creme brulee cheesecake. And the ice cream, like the one from the Pandan Pavlova is the bomb. They don’t melt easily, and have a bite to them.
Overall, everything we ate was amazing, and I’m dreaming of the next time we get to visit and try their other steaks. Next on the list - will try their fresh oysters when I come back again.
Excellent place if you love steak. They serve the best. The ingredients are the finest which make up for the great flavor in their dishes. For my personal faves: Jack’s Cobb salad, steak and classic mojito.
