Went for the first time today with my friend, and i REALLY recommend! We started off with the coliflor roca & it was so delish. For my entree, i got the ribeye aguachile and it was SOOO flavorful & id definitely get it again. To finish off our night, we got a dessert & i’m not too sure what the name was but it was so rich in flavor(it had banana and ice cream). Last but not least, our server Esperanza was amazing! She was so sweet, and kind, definitely coming back and asking for her!! 1000000/10

It was my first time a RU as soon as my boyfriend and I stepped foot we were welcomed inside and we loved the environment , service and food were amazing especially with our waiters. Felt very special and our waitress Aliah was amazing with the food recommendations and service.

I went here last night for my 5 year anniversary with my wife and we had a blast. We enjoyed the food, great service from Antonio and the music was good. I will definitely be returning here more often to try everything from the menu. I am still in shock of how great of an experience I had with my wife here. Good job to the staff a RU!

First time at RU and we’ll be back! We had a reservation for 6:30 and about 15 min before we got a text that our table was ready. Our server Alina was phenomenal and very attentive. The food was fresh and not a long wait at all. We enjoyed the tostada augachiles, ribeye, and fettuccine (I asked for lobster instead of the shrimp and it was delicious). Overall we had an excellent experience and would definitely visit again.

Great atmosphere! Aaron Garcia was our server, excellent service, helped us with whatever we needed! One of the more upscale restaurants here in the Valley. Lobster tacos were good! Ceviche was really tasty, a bit spicy.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at RU on a Saturday night, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the stage for a perfect evening. The decor was modern yet cozy, creating an inviting atmosphere that made my date and I feel right at home. Our server, Efrain, was exceptional. He greeted us with a warm smile and was attentive throughout the night without being intrusive. It's rare to find someone who can balance professionalism with a personal touch, but Efrain did just that. His recommendations were spot-on, and he ensured our glasses were never empty. The menu at RU is a delightful mix of flavors, and each dish we tried was a testament to the chef's creativity and skill. The prime rib agua chile was a standout, with its perfect blend of spices and textures. It was clear that each ingredient was thoughtfully chosen and expertly prepared. Overall, RU provided a dining experience that was both memorable and enjoyable. If you're looking for a place to impress a date or simply enjoy a fantastic meal, I highly recommend RU. And if you're lucky enough to have Efrain as your server, you're in for an even better experience.

I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch - friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, with a warm and inviting decor that set the tone for a great meal. And the food was great! On another note: We would suggest to have heated plates for the cuts as they get cold quickly, the Dino ribs were a little overcooked, but tasted great with the mashed potatoes. There is no baby changing station. I would really appreciate one. But overall great experience, would definitely recommend.

RU Restaurant exceeded all expectations! The food was absolutely phenomenal. Highlights of the evening included the perfectly balanced tuna tostada, delicious empanadas, and the flavorful chicken with mushrooms. Each dish was crafted with care and left us wanting more. The drinks were equally impressive, complementing the meal beautifully. A special mention goes to Alina, our waitress, who truly made the experience unforgettable. Her friendly demeanor, attention to detail, and excellent recommendations elevated our visit to the next level. RU Restaurant is a must-visit for incredible food, great drinks, and exceptional service. We’ll definitely be back!
