Best Steakhouses in Essex

Walking into The Ruxton feels like stepping into a world of pure opulence. From the warm lighting to the tasteful décor, everything about the atmosphere left me in awe. I also appreciated the music selection, which was refreshingly diverse—and I loved the unexpected twist of hearing some Christian rap in the playlist. Our server, Jordyn, elevated the experience with excellent service and thoughtful recommendations. The Wagyu steak, paired with its rich sauce, was simply outstanding, and the Wagyu sliders did not disappoint either. One of the highlights was the salad, featuring bacon so flavorful it might be the best I’ve ever had. The lobster mac and cheese was solid—maybe not quite at the level of my grandmother’s Southern-style recipe, but still satisfying in its own right. Overall, everything—from the ambiance to the attentive service—made for a wonderful lunch date. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience with top-quality dishes and a welcoming vibe, The Ruxton should be at the top of your list.

Amazing restraunt!!! My girlfriend and I went the weekend of Valentine’s Day. The Valentine’s Day menu was superb and all of the food was amazing. Our waiter Cinco was great. Drinks took a minute even though it wasn’t that busy but they made up for it with great tasting drinks. 100% professional establishment and will be going back again!

What a gem of a restaurant. The food is excellent especially the grilled Octopus, crab cakes and one of best lobster rolls I’ve ever had We will definitely recommend and will return

The Prime Ribis the best of the best in Baltimore. The food is incredible. The room is old-school and very elegant, including live piano and sax. We absolutely love Aaron and feel lucky when we get him. There is no one like him. He is so kind, so knowledgeable and just makes our whole experience perfect!!! Love, love The Prime Rib!

Great food, fair price, great service. Everyone enjoyed their meal
