it was my best friends 30th and we had a reservation. we were seated towards the back with an obstructed view of the stage which is what we were excited to see. there was also a slight chill to our experience as we were seated close to a door that opened quite often. outside of that service was excellent and the food was amazing!

We had an absolute wonderful dinning experience at Ruxton. The combination of phenomenal food, the chance to meet Chef Austin, and the attentive service from GM Jerome and server Karla made the experience memorable. Ruxton is a must for fine dinning. We consider Ruxton one of the best restaurants for fine dinning during our travels.

Tagliata was a delight. The food was exquisite, the atmosphere was pleasant, and our server (Marisa) could not have been better — she was pleasant, knowledgeable about the menu, upbeat and attentive. Great food. Great ambience. Great service. I highly recommend Tagliata.
