Ruffian New York Reviews from The Last Year
What a gem! My friend lives in the LES so she comes in
What a gem! My friend lives in the LES so she comes in often but it was my first time. According to her they change up their wines almost every week and their food is delicious (though small portions and a bit pricey). We shared the flight of a white, orange, and red Ukrainian wines and they were great! My friend also ordered the vermouth which she described as fruity and tasty. Our server was very knowledgeable about the wines and even provided us with separate glasses to share the fight. When we sat down, he also poured us a tasting of a yummy sparkling rose from Austria described in the menu as "hi-toned electric princess juice" which was my favorite of the night because I'm a hi-toned electric princess. Will return and would highly recommend to anyone looking to try some unique natural wines!

i loved the ambiance and the service- as a group of 8 who were a little vegetarian shy, we didn't know what to order and the waiter took care of it, relieving us from the stress of deciding between the many unique dishes. we got a little bit of everything and each dish was curated with a rich, balanced flavor, without being too much of anything. we were thoroughly impressed and found ourselves really enjoying the dishes we actually didn't have high hopes for based on our past experiences with certain foods (e.g., baloney dish was surprisingly good!) egg dish was also amazing. i probably wouldn't come back before trying other spots in the area but for wine and casual bites, absolutely. thanks ruffian!

I don't know too much about wine, but lord do the staff at Ruffian! As others have mentioned, they specialize in wine from Eastern Europe. Came here with a friend before going to grab dinner. Happy hour was bottles only, so we split a bottle of wine and got the pita bread just to prep our stomachs. I hadn't eaten all day as I am trying to be rockstar skinny. We sat in the cute little outside area, and the decor was beautiful. Magical even. Absolutely stellar ambiance. I asked one question about the wine, and our waiter gave me more info than I possibly could have ever imagine. He was LOCKED in. I retained very little but that is 100% a me problem. As others have mentioned, just not a lot of bang for your buck. The dollar doesn't go very far here, but it is New York City. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__
Hopped in here for some out of the ordinary wine options.
While they do serve dinner, we were not dining and opted for the seating option in the outside structure. 2 bottles of Austrian wines - an orange and a slightly effervescent red. The staff is quite knowledgeable of the wine gems and have the descriptions nailed down. The fact that the love what they do is obvious in the discussion of the wine, the region, the vineyard and grape. Time well spent. Out the door having had 2 bottles for roughly-$280.
went here on a whim for date night.
the ambiance is cozy and inviting, with low light and subtle decor. our server was beyond attentive and knew the wine and food menu like the back of his hand. we had no idea what we were looking for from a drink but he recommended a georgian orange wine after asking us a few questions about our preferences. it might have been the best wine i've ever had? will definitely be back again! highly recommend for a nice date or if you are looking for a more laid back quiet resturant to get dinner with a friend and catch up... great acoustics too.

Had my first date with my girlfriend here, so definitely a sentimental place for me, but sentimental bias aside, this is probably my favorite wine bar in the city! Super cute vibe all around; whether you're in the bar area, the dining room next door, or in the outdoor parklet, you're definitely gonna enjoy the space. I had the course menu the first time I went here. It's a lighter, vegetable-forward small-plates menu. Definitely advise you to not come here hungry if you're coming here for dinner. The dessert was impressive but otherwise the food was good but not super memorable. Of course, you're here for the wine. And they have a great selection of natural wines, including the stuff you've had a bunch before vs. really unique wines with notes you didn't think would make sense but somehow do (I had a very vegetable-y Chardonnay on my first visit and were surprised and impressed). The staff are super helpful and knowledgeable about wine and will always offer a good recommendation, along with being super friendly and attentive. This is one of my favorite places to take friends visiting from out of town and it's never disappointed!
Everything was amazing .
Loved the wine , food ambiance service ! My favourite wine bar in the city now
I finally had the chance to try the tasting menu at
I finally had the chance to try the tasting menu at Ruffian, which is an all vegetarian, mostly vegan, tapas-style dining experience and wine bar. They used to offer kombucha but no longer do. Instead, we started with a round of their nonalcoholic "tonics" and enjoyed the one with goldenrod, raspberry leaf, and pennyroyal. We were then delighted with the amuse-bouche of grilled castelvetrano olives, braised dates, and orange slices. Next we had the roasted cauliflower dish that was most notable for the fried caper berries - salty but delicious little things! Possibly the best dish was the basil-mint malfatti (gnocchi-like little dumplings served with fresh basil and grilled romaine). We added the spinach garlic dip to our tasting menu and enjoyed it; the papadum crackers used as dippers were innovative and fun. Lastly we had the poppy sable dessert with sunflower cream, which was fresh and delicious. Overall, I enjoyed the experience here. The food is vegetable-forward, well-seasoned, and strikes a balance between innovative touches and comforting familiar flavors. I'm not sure how quickly I would return unless they added a bunch of new menu items, but I would definitely keep this on the list of places to bring a friend on a special occasion, and it is food that even a non-vegan or non-vegetarian would enjoy.
Tasting menu is a great price, creative vegetarian cuisine.
Food is excellent just not my type. Vegetables cooked in unique spices. Beautiful interior
went here with four people, 2 of us had heard of it and
went here with four people, 2 of us had heard of it and were excited - the wine was very good. ambiance was decent. the food was not good, generally like everything was kind of a swing and a miss at fancifying something simple - like smoked dolmas, the smoke didnt do anything but dry out the dolmas and the flavors did not have much synergy. that egg dish was the same, was like $37 for basically a medium okay deviled egg.
Such an amazing experience.
The items we tried were all so delicious! Definitely would highly recommend for a taste test for your palette. Superb! Thank you so much for such great hospitality and delicious cuisine. Much love, Flea

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
