Ruby’s is kind of a modern day OC icon restaurant chain.

Being olde, and local I remember when they began. In HB the café on the modern pier, replaced a previous icon, the “End Café.”

Another local chain is Woody’s.

She’s not the namesake. She’s the eponym.

By golly, you’re right. :)

My local Ruby’s is on PCH in Corona del Mar - food ok, service outstanding

The last time I ate at Ruby’s, I noticed that there seemed to be fewer items on the menu than when I had eaten there previously. I read later that the new management is not only reducing the number of menu items but will be junking the 1940’s theme in favor of a 1960’s theme.
