Friendly and efficient staff consistently enhance the dining experience, making guests feel welcomed and valued.
The outdoor seating area provides an excellent place to enjoy drinks, especially on sunny days when the sea air adds to the vibe.

Some diners express frustration during peak hours, noting that the restaurant can become very crowded, especially on Tuesdays around lunchtime.
Limited dining options at certain times, as seasonal ingredients might influence the menu variety.
A few patrons have mentioned waiting for service during particularly busy rush periods, which can detract from the overall experience.

Ruby's is literally one minute away from my house, so it's really weird that I had never visited before. In my defence, it's at the top of a VERY steep hill down to the prom and it's just not somewhere I would happily cycle down. And certainly not UP! However, my colleague from U3A, Margaret, had recommended it and so, on a horribly hot and humid day, we ventured forth. I was amused by a mother and her two teenage offspring sitting at a table inside, then deciding to go out on to the terrace and, when that proved FAR too hot, returned, with bright red-faces, inside. They were lucky to find a vacant table because Ruby's is clearly a popular place. It's easy to see why. Their cake selection (see my photo) is hugely impressive, while their meal selection is fairly small, it is well-priced with huge portions. Margaret asked for an omelette which, although not on the menu, was happily provided. I opted for the croque Madame (£8.95 I think, but rude to ask, because I was the guest!) which was excellent, although I think one slice of the bread would have been more than enough. Both came with a nice little side salad. The two young servers were both very friendly and efficient. From pensioners to youngsters, it's clearly a popular little cafe. Which, once it cools down a bit, I will most certainly visit again. The cakes looked scrummy!

Lovely place for a bite to eat. We enjoyed breakfast here. Good service and nice outlook over the sea. Can get busy at times so recommend booking to avoid disappointment. Cakes looked so good we had a Bakewell tart and chocolate tiffin to takeaway. The portions were huge and they were absolutely delicious.

A tasty breakfast with homemade bubble and squeak was delicious. The service is amazing and the staff super friendly and welcoming. A very popular place for people to meet up for a chat in a lovely atmosphere based on the clientele today. I would highly recommend.
