Jeff Ruby Culinary Entertainment celebrated the opening of its first-ever event venue this week.
The Lempicka opened Thursday, June 22 in the former Jeff Ruby Steakhouse on Walnut Street downtown. The Art Deco space is described as a one-of-kind venue that will provide a luxurious backdrop for events, from weddings to fundraisers, with room for 25 to 250 people.
Jeff Ruby, the founder and chairman of Jeff Ruby Culinary Entertainment, says the event space gets its name partially in honor of Tamara de Lempicka, a major artist from the Art Deco movement.
“I have long admired the Art Deco style, and of de Lempicka in particular, both as a unique talent and as a groundbreaking innovator,” Ruby said in a previous press release. “You can see her work and strong Art Deco influence in every one of our restaurants; it will also be prominent in The Lempicka by Jeff Ruby.”
“The idea of a dedicated events business has been on our radar for some time,” Britney Ruby Miller, CEO of Jeff Ruby Culinary Entertainment, said in the same release. “Relocating our Steakhouse gave us the perfect opportunity to renovate the space and bring to market a unique event concept that combines our love for Art Deco design, décor, and delivering amazing celebratory experiences.”
The Lempicka offers a customizable, chef-driven menu with both plated and buffet options for breakfast, brunch, lunch, cocktail and dinner events. Ruby’s steaks will be prominently featured, as well as sushi displays and house-made desserts. It will host its first event tonight, on June 23.
