If it wasn't for location, this place would have folded by now. Food is edible and overpriced. Decor is odd. Staff are friendly but expected to attend to everyone in the restaurant. As a result, service is poor and has been for 3 years. Staff turn over is high...I wonder why? Instead, try the Thai Kitchen or the Sovereign (good... More

I like the food. I like the location and I REALLY want to like this restaurant. However, I too have seen and heard too many stories about their poor service. Maybe I've been lucky to not have experienced it.

Food was excellent, perhaps a little over priced. Waiter did a great job. He was very attentive when necessary and then left us alone.

every time I mention Ruby Moon I would hear some horror story as to the owners terrible attitude and I ignored these rumours until I had them verified for myself. I went for lunch with two friends and when I arrived I saw an old woman sitting with a crying young woman. I could see the young lady was trying... More

Everytime I've been to Ruby Moon I have great expectations. The place is right in one of Thunder Bay's downtowns (the city was the amalgamation of two smaller cities so there's a lot of duplication) and the building, both inside and out, is great. The decor is pseudo kitsch, with a neat little corner store with vintage sweaters and kids... More

The food is ok, the staff, it depends, all the older staff were very nice, but our server, she could not seem more uninterested in us, there were three of us, and we were kind of offended, my moms whole meal was stone cold, and it was a hot roast beef sandwich, (supposed to be hot) I had a ceaser...

Not only do they have great food, the fact that the Ruby Moon is one of the only live music venues that allows 19 and under is a huge one for me, as a musician and a mother, I love bringing my kids out feeding them great food and enjoying music as an audience member. There aren't enough places like... More

I really enjoyed and appreciated the effort Ruby Moon made to accommodate my celiac requirements. They even made me a special GF pizza! The creme brulee was excellent as well. The decor and atmosphere reminded me of some of the cool and funky Queen St W bistros and cafes I used to frequent while living in Toronto. Nice to not... More
