TastyPals Editorial Pick
JW
James Whitfield
Restaurant Critic
“Judge Ruka by the seasonal amuse-bouche: the kitchen's statement of intent before the menu starts — at the top tables it tells you everything you need to know. The 4.4 reflects a kitchen that doesn't cut corners. Worth a second visit to work through the full menu. Reservations are worth making for weekends; weeknights you can usually walk in.”
