I took my girlfriend as a little get away dinner as we’re from out of town. The place is fantastic and our waiters were very timely and cordial with us. We had ordered the crab cheesecake, spaghetti alla carbonara, farms ribeye, pot de creme, and creme brulee. They additionally gave us a complimentary cake ball.

Everything was cooked to perfection and in a timely manner.

If I could give Ruffino’s on the river 6 stars I would. We celebrated my wife’s birthday with a party of 8. Every detail was perfect down to the communication with the staff to accommodate seating.

The waitress was amazing and kind. Very friendly. The food choices were great. Appetizers and entree’s were on point.

Absolute perfect evening celebrating with friends. Can’t wait to go back. Ruffino’s knocked it out the park!!

My husband and I decided that we wanted to try Ruffino’s on the River for our 29th wedding anniversary and we wanted to love it. Unfortunately it was not our favorite.

We reserved a solarium table and made sure to note that we were celebrating. We were escorted to our table promptly and asked how long we had been married for.

We were quickly served water with crusty French bread and dipping sauce and asked about any extra drinks by a very friendly drink server. Unfortunately we are not alcohol drinkers, but everyone around us seemed to have beautiful cocktails

When our waiter arrived he suggested the Fish Katie and Cedar plank catch which was redfish. We also chose to each get a bowl of corn and crab bisque instead of an appetizer. That soup was the hit of our night. Rich, delicious and full of crab.

The fish entrees were beautiful. However, the cedar plank fish needed salt, while the mashed potatoes were over salted and the Fish Katie was raw. My husband had eaten about 3/4 when he realized that the rest was not cooked. That bite was a meal ended. Absolutely disgusting.

The waiter apologized and took it off our bill. We were done and ready to go at that point. He offered us a free dessert and we decided to take the bread pudding to go. While waiting, we were brought a giant cotton candy, which was delicious, but we were a little confused about it.

When our dessert was ready, a gentleman in a suit walked by and just dropped it at our table without a word. At that point, we left.

It was a nice restaurant but it definitely had a few kinks and we did not feel celebrated at all. Especially after seeing other reviews with beautiful desserts that were specifically done for those celebrating.

High ceilings, subdued lighting and an open kitchen plan made for enjoyable dinner experience. Our wai staff, Lane and Kennedy were both friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Veal picatta was spot on. The surprise birthday cake dessert was a nice ending to a pleasant evening.

The food options were amazing, but did not always live up to my expectations. Would definitely go back. Bartenders were awesome. Marley was my fave!

This was our second time, the first time was about 18 months ago and was delicious. This time marked it for never again. I had the ribeye last time and loved it, not this time.The ribeye tasted like pure char and was overcooked, the mash was salty. The lasagna tasted like it was microwaved and the shrimp in the carbonara were rubbery. We had reservations for 5 and went at 430 so the restaurant had just opened. Ranch was taken off of the menu which makes no sense, that’s what I normally use with my steaks. Would have been better at the Forrest in Franklin which is where I’ll just keep going for my steaks because I get the same size for cheaper, with a side and salad and it tastes amazing every time. Went to DQ for dessert just to get the charcoal taste out of my mouth. Yes the waitress was made aware it was overcooked. I did say I wasn’t interested in it being remade, but nothing was done to try to rectify it either.

We came to Ruffino’s On The River to celebrate my girlfriend recently landing the job she’s been working toward, and it could not have been a better experience. From start to finish, everything was top-notch.

The atmosphere was perfect for a special night out, the service was outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Our waiter was extremely friendly and accommodating, making sure everything was just right throughout the evening.

I ordered the ribeye, and it was absolutely cooked to perfection—one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Paired with great drinks and a celebratory mood, it made for an unforgettable night.

Highly recommend Ruffino’s if you’re looking for amazing food, excellent service, and a place that makes any occasion feel special!

Had an absolutely amazing birthday dinner here! The complimentary cotton candy is my favorite. The whole experience from walking in to leaving is wonderful. The birthday cake wishes received was awesome!
While we waited for our table (we arrived early due to parking) we walked the walkway under the bridge and back by the river.

This place was amazing, the atmosphere is great. The service was very good, we got the fish special and was extremely salty but the staff was happy to replace it and it came back perfect. They have a wide cocktail list to choose from all are great! This is a must try place and excited to come again when back in town!
