    Caviar tater tots
    Monique D.

    I went here for Valentine's Day with my husband. We had the best time! The service was top notch. I got filet mignon with lump crab on top, and caviar topped tater tots. The strawberry pound cake was my favorite. It was worth the expensive splurge.

    I had dinner at The Ruxton last night with three friends for one of our friend's birthday. Between the four of us, we tried a bit of the menu: lemon butter prawns (with confit cherry tomato, smoked trout roe, and fine herbs); house-made tater tots and caviar (Kaluga caviar, chives, dill, aged Provolone, and Crème Fraîche); Caesar Salad (Parmigiano Reggiano, herbed croutons); a 6 oz filet mignon; a 14 oz New York Strip; two steak sauces (chimichurri, horseradish cream); miso sea bass (with bok choy, chanterelle, snap peas, and dashi); double chocolate brownie (with caramel corn, bourbon caramel, Charmery salted caramel ice cream); and lots of drinks (wines and cocktails). We enjoyed every dish. Everything was well-cooked, delicious, and beautiful. My wine and my martini were also very good. The menu is classic steakhouse, and they're doing it all right. And classics done right are hard to beat. Beyond the food and drinks, the restaurant is beautiful. It doesn't have that retro vibe that some steakhouses have and I love, but it is elegant and beautiful and very sophisticated. People dress up a bit for this one. They have a large dining room and a large bar area as well (I was already imagining returning and have a drink and snacks at their bar). And then the real kicker. The service is outstanding. We felt really taken care of. By everyone who touched our table. This is some of the best service I've experienced in Baltimore. Overall, the Ruxton was a very good meal. I'd be happy to repeat it. A good option for dinner if you need a place in Harbor East!

    I was invited to celebrate a friend's birthday. This is an upscale restaurant but some of the patrons were not of the level of the experience. However, I greeted and taken to the table of reservation. It was a party of 10 and our waitress Jada was the best. She attended to us and other large party tables efficiently. We ordered drinks, small plates and entrees. All came out without any issues. All parties were amazed by Jada's ability to be attentive, precise and professional while juggling multiple large parties. I would recommend this restaurant as the service, drinks and food was desireable and the presentation sealed the deal. A complimentary birthday butter cake and icecream was provided. And yes the butter cake was a favorite at the table.

    One of the best places to go in Baltimore for a special occasion. It truly feels like you've stepped back in time, and the service is just impeccable. The bread service is so yummy, and the caviar tots with a dirty martini is *chef's kiss* Steaks are always cooked to perfect, and the au poivre is my favvv. Lobster mac and cheese is also my fav. Worth it for date night!

    Food: bison tasted very gamey, heavy breading on frito mixto, and the tater tots were very salty (the rolls were salty as well but it tasted better) Service: staff were attentive and prompt Ambiance: upscale place requiring people to dress in business casual (although some weren't so not sure how they're monitoring that)

    Beautiful space-old school elegance We were a group of eight so never easy on wait staff but they were trying. Great they split shared dishes for us - civilized! Good was well executed and beautifully presented. Highlights was Parker house rolls, lobster bisque, tater tots with caviar. Favorite was grilled seafood salad with a bright citrus dressing Steaks and sides were good but not fantastic. Chimichuri sauce for steak was the best we've ever had! Jalapeño cheddar grits looked like green goop and waffle fries were not hot or crunchy. Still a nice spot in Harbor east and love the 9oz wine pour!

    10/10!!! Top tier food, atmosphere and service. Fried lobster tail was AMAZING! Creamed corn and creamed spinach chef's kiss...save room for dessert the butter cake was the absolute BEST!!!! Definitely will be back before I leave Baltimore.

    Chicken Fried Lobster Tails ( with a sweet spicy sauce ) if you're into lobster tails you have to dive into this beauty!!

    "A True Touch Of Class!" Let me start off by saying the service at "The Ruxton" is definitely a step above most upscale establishments. My server/host Demetrius did an absolutely amazing job of running everything down to us in a seamless fashion ( while also being shadowed by a new server ! ) Thank you Demetrius !!! And once our main courses kicked off, I was honestly left floored at how delicious every dish was. For starters I tried out the soft shell crab for the first time and the taste instantly won me over. While the chargrilled oysters dazzled my taste buds in every way !! The Finale ( entrees) consisted of Crab & shrimp risotto, chicken fried lobster tails, Mac & cheese, and garlic style broccoli. Every dish came with its own scrumptious delivery ( The broccoli is a must try... I never tasted broccoli that held its own against every other dish !! ) The Ruxton decor is absolutely beautiful and the entire staff maintained a level of professionalism that speaks volumes ( including the valet parking ) I encourage everyone to spend their next special occasion at The Ruxton... Promise you won't be disappointed !!!

    Great place for a date night or a birthday! I came for a girls night out/birthday. They treated her very special and wrote a hand written card. The server was very attentive and didn't take time in bringing out what we asked for. Charbroiled oysters were my absolute favorite. I also ordered lamb chips which were about 6/10. I wish I had tried the fried lobster tails! The drinks were amazing, although costly. They averaged about $33 per person and we had 9. They drinks were cheaper at the bar- about $10 less. Overall, I'd highly recommend this restaurant.

    The Ruxton is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore. This is one of those rare places where everything on the menu hits--whether it's brunch, lunch, happy hour, or dinner. The space itself is a vibe--Art Deco-inspired design that feels upscale but still fun. It's usually busy (even the bar), so I highly recommend making a reservation. Some of my favorites: the chicken fried lobster tail (not listed as an appetizer, butyou can request it), lamb chops with mint jelly (OMG), oysters Rockefeller (so good it'll make you slap your momma), Wagyu sliders, lemon butter prawns, the steakhouse burger on the happy hour menu, and the branzino. And the true highlight?? The warm butter cake with ice cream. I've literally come here just for that--it tastes like something straight out of my grandma's kitchen. Highly recommend. This place does not miss.

    Lobster mac n cheese
    Keisha F.

    Excellent! Customer service was great! The lemon butter prawn and charbroiled appetizers were my favorite. The chicken fried lobster was very tasty and the filet mignon was tender melted in your mouth like butter.

    Beautiful resturant and nice staff. It was Valentine's Day so of course they were behind and we didn't get the absolute best service we were checked on 3x total when we arrived , when we ordered, when they brought the dessert and bill. Did we feel a bit rushed yes. We do understand others are trying to get in but mid bite asking if we are done was a bit much. We would definitely come back on a non holiday as we know it will be a better experience. The caviar Tots are okay I don't like hot or Mushy caviar and that's what we received. The tots were great. Lobster bisque was pretty good and they have a great Caesar salad. We got the dry aged ribeye and the cowboy both absolutely delicious. Cooked to a PERFECT medium extremely flavorful nothing needed no notes amazing chef. Chimichurri ? Absolutely disgusting and for $4 absolutely not worth it. The rolls ?? Ask for some to go absolutely delicious and perfect. The shrimp amazing perfect garlic butter sauce delicious. The butter cake was good If this is the first butter cake if you've had another steak houses butter cake this one doesn't compare. And the little drop of red velvet not necessary.

    I know some people have it out against the company that owns these chains of restaurants (ATLAS Group), but dammit the food was amazing. The service was amazing. The ambience was amazing. I have to hand it to him. They really did it up for my parents anniversary and I probably most likely will be back.

Given my experience with DC and other parts of MD, I was determined to contact them ahead of time and make sure I would have a spot for brunch. But after some contact on IG, they said it's just walk-ins and I would most likely get a table with no effort or wait. I was concerned... but they were right! So we got settled immediately and started ordering. Our gracious server asked for drinks, which have a bottomless option during brunch. We could pick from mimosas, crushes, sangria and bloody marys. I tried everything but the bloody marys, and while they were good, whew there was a lot of ice in the mimosa... I'm not used to ice there, so it threw me off but it was still good! The REAL highlight was the food... the item I got changed my life: Crab. Cake. Eggrolls. They came with this amazing sweet chili sauce and were so filling and delicious! I also got chicken & waffle sliders to go that had a nice kick and the waffle texture was great! My cousin enjoyed his food as well. Also, shout out to the bagel wall that's on the way to the bathroom. It had great options and all the fixings! If I wasn't full I would've gotten one myself. I will return here for brunch.

I met up with a friend here, with her husband and kids and my husband, and we had a great time. We didn't realize there would be live music, so it was a bit loud at first, but we got used to it. (The trumpet got a bit loud at times, but that's how such instruments can be!) My friend and I both got a cup of the crab chowder, which was tasty, if a bit weird-looking when the oil separated in it. I got a crab cake, and it didn't seem special compared to other crab cakes I've had, perhaps a bit dry too, but it was definitely fresh. I also went rogue and got a watermelon drink that was good enough where multiple would be dangerous! Everyone seemed to like their food, and my husband even tried clam strips and enjoyed them! The food came pretty quickly, so it's a nice choice if you're bringing kids (or hungry adults).

Highly recommend if you're at the harbor.

Service was perfection. The interior has a great dark wood/chandelier, old-school bar vibe and comfortable seating without it being too noisy when packed. There is some signage about the poet himself. We started of with the "cheese dip" which is an interesting way to describe a pretzel appetizer. But boy howdy, the cheese dip was enormous, which complemented the salty, buttery pretzels perfectly. The stuffed lamb was pretty reasonably priced and came with spinach and potatoes. Both that and the strip steak were a bit heavy on the sauce though, but otherwise, great dishes. Don't forget to swing by the bathroom. I just really like the posters in the hallway.
