Ruby Lounge

Two stars for the nice décor.
However, food seems to be cooked from frozen and mainly deep-​fried.
Vastly over-​priced.
Friendly, helpful server though

Good food, nice relaxed atmosphere. Recommended.

The last time I went the food was absaloutely disgusting. I went for a tuna melt panini, which was strangely soggy and tasted of absaloutely nothing. Someone else orderd a burger which was extremley rare in the middle, even though it was requested to be medium-​well done. We visited Ruby lounge as treat, but it was very dissapointing, especailly as everyone had been looking forward to it. The only good thing about the visit was the deserts, which were clearly not made by the restaurant, and therefore satisfactory. The décor is good, but we were seated rather close to the toilets which is extremely offputting. The staff were helpful and friendly and gave us money off our meal due to our unsatisfaction. I won’t be going back.

A New Café Bar on Newland Avenue has a good range on the menu, the Lamb Skewers I had where very good and would recommend them as was my daughters Chicken skewers. The home made chips and garlic bread also are to be recommended.
Only down side is the price probably on the expensive side for the area, about £23 for two plus 1 diet Coke and Glass of house rose wine at £5.55 !!!

Nice enough place for a drink, pretty much a clone of all the other «Avenues» establishments although the lighting is better, i.e. not as harsh and THANK GOD no Jazz… The staff are friendly and helpful but on the whole it does seem somewhat characterless.
I have heard good things about the food and service here and it has a very large menu all of which looks quite interesting (check out the website address below).
The food was passable, but we must have gone on a bad day for the staff! The table next to us had to wait 45 minutes for their sandwiches, another table only got one of the two dishes they’d ordered and I got a Caesar salad instead of the Hot Cajun Prawn salad I’d ordered. He happily changed it for me, leaving the incorrect order for us to share if we wished. I ended up eating more of that then the other… the prawns had that thick fake orangey breadcrumb stuff on them with a few nasty spices thrown on and the citrus dressing didn’t go with it at all. My friend had one of the burgers and she loved it, so I will give the place another go, benefit of the doubt and all that.
