LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A downtown Louisville steakhouse is reopening its doors after a multimillion-dollar renovation.

"I hope they feel that yeah, we're a Cincinnati-owned family business but that we feel local. That this is the local steakhouse and that we're here all the time," said Britney Ruby Miller. "We love the city and we love the community. And so it was time to give some money back into this place and give Louisville what it deserve with this steakhouse because they've been really good to us."

The restaurant's official reopening is set for Saturday. It was the first renovation project for the restaurant since its opening.

Jeff Ruby's has been a staple of West Main Street in downtown Louisville for 17 years.
