And now you have a perfect example of why the kashrus situation in the city of the Jews is so messed up. When (religious) people don't show that it matters to them and are willing to accept the word of the guy with the kippa (or less), why should they bother with the expense?

He may have Rubin - I don't know. But when he's looking to save some money, what do you think is going to go first if it's not affecting traffic? They'd put gristle in the burgers if noone would say boo...

Maybe it's not authentic? 

Is the Rubin holograph on it?

You're slightly mixed up. Gabriel is arguably the best restaurant in Jerusalem, Gabriela is it's dairy counterpart. IMHO not close to the best dairy.
