Ruth's Parkside Cafe

They did a great job recommending things in my diet, and service was good. Food was yummy! Decor odd but I think that is the point. Gorgeous pansie art on display and for sale too. I'll be back.

Never knew this place existed and been here for 10 years! Wonderful place! Staff, hostess really! Everyone smiles and acknowledges you with welcoming hellos! Great first time. Will definitely be going back again and again! Oh yes and food is wonderful. A little bit of everything is served. Dessert good as well. Thank you

I was having a terrible day, my mom and I needed something to do for 45 min until the store we were looking for opened up, and we found Ruth's. We were in casual clothing to say the least (I was in pajama pants and an old T shirt. While walking in, I wasn't sure they would even serve us because it looked very fancy. NOT A SINGLE STAFF PERSON gave us a second glance or treated us any differently than if we were wearing Jimmy Choo with fur coats. (a couple of the other customers gave us odd glances though, oh well)

The food was fantastic. The menu is diverse and picky people could find something to try. We ended up with soups and sandwiches, and they were spectacular. Even reasonably priced.

Also, the artwork is very diverse and wonderful. I will dining here again, probably not in pajama pants though

First time here and had a fantastic meal! Ordered the shrimp arriabiatta. Very tasty, and of course had a bit of heat...so if you don't like spicy don't order it. But if you do, it was just right.

Dessert I had the chocolate/black forest cake...very tasty. Nice avg slice for just a few bucks. Highly recommend this place and will go back!

This is a hidden gem. The atmosphere was pleasant. The food selection was a bit eclectic. The dinner menu was a bit pricey for the offerings. I enjoyed the red beans and rice (no meat) for $10, extra for a little cheese. It is worth a return visit.
