Humble Beginnings
Jeff Ruby is the visionary behind the luxurious grandeur, impeccable service, legendary steaks, and the passion for showmanship in everything we do. Yet, Jeff came from humble and challenging beginnings. Growing up on the Jersey Shore, Jeff took control of his life early on by running away from a fatherless and problematic home at the young age of 15. From that point, and under the mentorship of a high school coach, Jeff essentially raised himself and forged his own destiny.
Where It All Began
In 1981, Jeff's passion for innovation, excellence, and over-the-top experiences drove him to take a leap of faith when he placed the bet of a lifetime in his chosen hometown of Cincinnati and opened his first restaurant, The Precinct. This new venture was born in a building with quite a history. A Hannaford structure built in 1906, it served as a saloon, an icehouse, and even a warehouse at various times in its storied past.
