Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Super pleasant, casual, colorful atmosphere!! The service from the salon team is excellent, and here's a special compliment to the waiter Marcelo, who was super attentive to all our questions, and there were many!! Tasty and well served food, we ordered an assortment of toast as a starter, main courses were tenderloin with ml ementhal, ml thai salmon and duck with ml port wine. For dessert, tarte tartin, creme brulle and 3-milk cake... all very good!! I highly recommend it!!

The house wasn't full, and the service was very good since the reception. The service of the waiters was impeccable as were the dishes served and the wine. Suggesting as improvement the replacement of paper towels. Do not match the service level of the house.

Very good experience! The entrance lamb was spectacular! We ordered the duck confit, and it was very tasty, really very good! The dessert was also divine, a super wet brownie on the inside and crispy on the outside, with pistache ice cream! All very good

Ruella is a popular option for couples and groups. The atmosphere is comfortable and cute. A good sound system and excellent variety of music is a plus. The decor is French themed and the location in an actual alley reminds one of Europe. The food is average at best. It is not at all authentically French. The waiters seemed very enthusiastic to let me know they speak English. The wine list needs improvement. It is overpopulated with low quality young New World wines. I had the duck confit. It was dry and fairly tasteless. I also had the house salad with goat cheese. The goat cheese was local and bland, served as a sort of tartines over iceberg lettuce with cherry tomatoes that were not ripe. Avoid the half bottle and the split of red wine. One is Argentinian Malbec, the other is Chliean Cabernet Sauvignon. Both are awful and overpriced. I can recommend Ruella for drinks with friends, for group events (the upstairs space is nicely appointed and provides privacy), or for singles or couples for cocktails. I wanted to try the Tarte Tatin but I decided to cut my losses and move on. I don't plan to return.

Disappointment On arrival we were accommodated in a table with a paper towel over the cloth towel, on top of the plate a package with paper wardrobe, it looked like I was at Mc Donalds. The cups smelled like egg. Until then we let it pass. When we made the order, we told the waiter that we wanted the skin of the duck confit well toasted. And he said we were confusing with magret, we said we didn't and he insisted and said the confit didn't come crocant pq was marinated We decided to leave pq if a restaurant does not know how to make one of the most traditional French dishes can not eat there.

Spectacular service, the restaurant has a cool and beautiful decor, mixing casual with contemporary, a show. There are few options on the menu, but there are pastas, meats, ducks and vegetarian options, a good menu. We went with the restaurant's recommendation, a duck cofiar, but we didn't like it. Strong sauce that hides the flavor of the duck. The experience was pleasant and we will be back to try other things, especially the starters.

Impeccable! Shrimp fettuccine and shrimp risotto, perfect spot, complete menu, varied starter tartines, gourmant dessert, non-alcoholic lychee drink. Fair price. Quality in service, atmosphere and care in the dishes. I HIGHLY recommend it. Sorry I ate everything before taking photos but trust me 😉

Nice place, decoration that impresses. Good service. The entry brushes disappointed a bit. And although the cost-effectiveness is not the best (we find the entries very expensive and the total value high), it is a good place for a romantic dinner.

A beautiful restaurant, both in terms of decoration, the quality of the ambient music and, of course, the dishes. Cozy atmosphere. Varied and very tasty menu. The wine list offers varieties for all budgets, as well as great service.

We had lunch at Ruella on a Saturday, the only day the restaurant opens for lunch. I ordered a steak tartare which was one of the best I've ever eaten! A delight! My husband ordered a mignon fillet with fettuccini that was ok, nothing too much. We ordered a crème brûlée that was correct. We will definitely come back to eat the tartar!!!

The place is charming and the food is excellent! The arancini is the best I ever had. The duck is so rich and flavorful, incredible. The price is super fair, in fact cheap for the quality of the food. The service was excellent! Attentive and always with a smile. Definitely going back!

When looking for a restaurant, you want something more, besides the food, of course. But when there are several “something more”, it has a name: Ruella Bistrô. Entry drink of a beer with raspberry flavor, home-made. Environment simply the maximum. Immaculate service. You don't even talk about food. Thank you, Ruella.

Excellent atmosphere (romantic for many) and a very quaint entrance through a narrow alley. French food with a bit of everything for all - good food, but not considered fine dining. Wine list has good options fit for several budgets. It's different, its worth trying out.
