   My wife and recently hosted my daughter and her husband for their anniversary dinner at The Ruxton, and I couldn't have chosen better. We were immediately struck by the warm, inviting atmosphere that felt special without being stuffy. The server's attentiveness made our celebration feel personal and valued. Every dish that arrived at our table was exceptional - creative and absolutely delicious. The beverage selection impressed us all, with perfect cocktails and wines that paired well with every entree on the menu. What made the evening truly memorable was how the staff made our family celebration feel intimate and important. An anniversary card was waiting for our kids when we arrived at our table and complementary champagne was served with our dessert. The Ruxton provided exactly the setting we'd hoped for to mark such a special occasion.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

   The dining experience was great. However I noticed that all tables in the house were greeted and approached by a member of management to check in on their experience. This did not happen with us. Very disappointed.

   Best food this side of the hemisphere! I'm so disappointed in all of the other so called upscale steakhouses I've visited. 5 stars all around.

   Overall a great experience, the food was delicious. We did feel a bit rushed and it’s difficult to have a conversation because it’s a bit noisy.

   Everything was amazing the only thing I would improve is the heavy bar/music noise in the dining room.

   I was really excited to try The Ruxton, I had this place bookmarked for months and was looking forward to the evening. My friend and I attended a play nearby at the Lyric theater that afternoon, midway through the performance we decided to book a reservation for an early evening meal at 7:45pm. We arrived at The Ruxton and valeted at 7:51pm. Upon entering the host area I informed the hostess that we had a 7:45pm reservation, she furrowed her brows slightly and rushed toward the dining room. After another 10 mins, I glanced at my watch to see it was now 8:06pm and we had not been seated yet while another party, seemingly larger, came right in (missing a guest) and was sat. After approaching the hostess stand to confer on the delay, the young lady informed us our table was ready and then hurried us over to a gorgeous booth. A gentleman that was not our server immediately came over to give us water. After looking at the menu, eventually our waiter arrived (a different individual than who provided water), and this gentleman informed us that is was Ruxton policy to take the entirety of our order at one time, after communicating we were famished and would love some bread he then reminded us again that it was policy to order all at once and that the chefs were trained to prepare and release the courses properly. He then disappeared until eventually we requested to speak to the manager, and by that time it was 8:27pm, nearly an hour past our reservation time and we had practically just been sat and had not received a cocktail or table bread. Graciously the general manager came to our table to inform us that there was an internet issue regarding reservations, order system, even the music was not functioning properly. I understood and informed him that we were not interested in making a bad situation worse but did want to communicate our displeasure and hoped to constructively provide criticism. At approximately 8:38pm our cocktails and table bread finally appeared. 2/10

   Whoever was cooking used excessive amounts of salt! I had to send my steak back and I couldn’t eat my sides. Even my appetizer was hyper salted!!! I had the Waygu Sliders!!!
