Why didn't the restaurant folks just leave the customers alone? Sounds like they made a big deal in the restaurant about what the customers did. I don't think what the customers did was right but the whole thing would have blown over if they had just let it pass and had a good laugh about them when they left. We certainly laugh at a lot of our customers after they have left the store. Surely that kind of customer behaviour is not that common so is not worth making a big deal out of. That public biting response to the customer DOES NOT reflect well on the restaurant and does not make me ever want to go there.

Funny, the response to a bogus online review makes me want to go to The Ruby more than ever now.

+1 on LOVING the response. I think it was very well played.

Word on the street is the Ruby is opening in the Best Western downtown in the London Tube space.

I wish them well. That location is the worst restaurant killer in the CRD.

Do you mean that location has always had the worst/most-underwhelming restaurants in the CRD?

People will travel to where good food is. Look at jam, blue fox, brasserie, etc.

Time will tell if the Ruby succeeds where so many others have failed.

The Ruby says they have not yet sold a $200 breakfast combo.

May I suggest a kickstarter campaign where you'll livestream the meal if it's funded?

Guess our family taste is just a little too pedestrian for the Ruby; we walked in tonight, took a seat, glanced at the menu - unfortunately we're most very definitely not duck confit, duck wings or kale people - and wandered out straightaway. To each their own of course. Definitely not my cup of tea though, pardon the metaphor.....

^You would as would I, enjoy the Ruby Cafe from Corner Gas more I think.

Try Jones BBQ next time. Same owner, more pedestrian food.

So Jones doesn't serve people who drive or bike?

It's right on them bike lanes!
