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. read more

"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 !!! read more

Hubby and I came here for the first time for dinner on a Friday night. We made a reservation online. We ordered their wedge salad, chilled shellfish salad, dry-aged cowboy steak with their grilled asparagus and bacon mac n cheese. Total came to approximately a little over $200 (including tip). What's hot - Menu. Very good. There appears to something for everyone, even vegans. There's meat, seafood, and vegetables. For example, they have a cauliflower steak as an option. They also appear to be able to cater their dishes to your preference. - Quality. Excellent. Their asparagus were rather large for our taste, but their kitchen does a good job of shaving off a little from the bottom of the stalks. As such, their asparagus were served pretty tender. We ordered our steak medium and it was cooked to our liking. My chilled seafood salad comes with a delicious citrus vinaigrette. Not too sweet and slightly savory. My favorite dishes are my salad and the mac n cheese. - Portions. Excellent. Their cowboy steak comes with the bone and is sliced for you, which allows you to share. The mac n cheese is incredibly rich. That was probably the most filling dish. Unless you have a large party, I would not recommend a flight of 3 mac n cheeses, because it's so rich. - Layout. Rather small layout. We were seated at a table for two, but next time, I would like to take advantage of their booths, which is in the shape of a half circle, which can seat up to 4. - Service. Excellent. Their hostess was able to pull up our reservation immediately and seat us. They definitely pay attention to detail. The staffer gave us details for off menu items (i.e., their specials). We had questions about specific menu items and she was able to provide us helpful details about ingredients, texture, flavor, etc.... For example, when describing their chocolate brownie for dessert, she explained how it was fudgy, which is something I love about chocolate desserts. My husband and I love their rolls with wagyu butter. I specifically asked about the ingredients of the wagyu butter. When we paid our bill, our staffer gave us some rolls and wagyu butter in a takeaway container. Appreciate her attention to detail. - Price. You certainly pay the quality, portions, and service. My husband and I agree that we may only return for special occasions. We are interested in returning to their bar to check out their happy hour specials. What's not - Acoustics. The night we were there, there was rather loud music playing from their bar, which detracted from the ambiance. Their main dining room has rather low lighting, which tends to suggest a more calm and quiet atmosphere. The loud music detracted from the ambiance. It also made it more difficult for my husband and I to carry a conversation. - Quality. While the cowboy steak was delicious, it was not as well-seasoned as we would like. Perhaps this is where ordering their sauces and/or accoutrements might be helpful. My husband and I like our steaks to have a nice exterior seasoning and possible crust to add to the flavor. The cowboy steak did not come with that. - Cannot order their happy hour specials in the main dining room. To be fair, there are many restaurants that do not allow you to take advantage of their happy hour specials in the main dining room. Our reservation was for 5:30, which is before their happy hour specials end. - Parking. Depending on the day and time, it can be difficult to find. They have valet parking for $20. There is also street parking, but it appears to be metered paid parking around the restaurant. We parked our car at the Little Italy parking garage, a few blocks away from the restaurant, which is $5. Final Answer May come back, but only for special occasions. read more

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.

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! read more

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. read more

Celebrated a special occasion here yesterday and had an absolutely lovely time. Our server was earnest; she helped us choose the best options for appetizers and dinner. I would highly recommend the lemon garlic shrimp-the scampi sauce is to die for and was delicious to dip bread in as well. The Martini/caviar tater combo was a don't miss-the martini was perfectly balanced and the potato vodka meshes perfectly with the caviar tater tots. The caeser salad was also fresh and flavorful-and large enough to share. The cowboy ribeye with bone in was a bit forgettable for me, but the butter cake was the best dessert I've had in a long time. I'll definitely return for birthdays and celebrations! I was also happy to see a diverse workforce and managerial team supporting the restaurant! read more

Very popular and crowded steakhouse. I was part of a large group enjoying a this traditional steakhouse. The service was very good though they forgot a few sides that we ordered My rib eye was cooked perfectly and one of the best I've had at a steakhouse. Their sides like seafood Mac and cheese to mash potatoes to asparagus were nicely prepared. I was impressed with how they handled the large crowd. Very nice energy and vibe. . read more

My friends and I recently visited The Ruxton, and the aesthetic is absolutely stunning! It has such a sophisticated, upscale atmosphere that's just perfect for a girls' dinner. Our waitress was so lovely and attentive, truly making the evening feel special from start to finish. The Highlights We started with their Happy Hour, which was such a treat--the Frito Mixto was a personal favorite, especially that divine dipping sauce! For the main course, the 6oz Filet Mignon and the 8oz Dry-Aged Steak were cooked to perfection. My Recommendation: Definitely pair your steak with the Chimichurri sauce! We found the house sauce didn't quite complement the meat, but the chimichurri added such a fresh, vibrant pop of flavor. Sips: If you love a classic, their Old Fashioned is wonderful--perfectly strong and elegant. The Sides & Bread The bread service was delicious on its own, but we weren't fans of the garlic butter pairing; it just wasn't the best mix for us. As for the sides: Jalapeño & Cheddar Grits: A lovely balance of heat without being too spicy, though a tiny bit heavy on the salt. Brussels Sprouts: Lovely flavor, but they sat in the glaze a bit too long, making them a little saturated and salty. Mac & Cheese: This one wasn't quite for me--it felt more like a rich Alfredo pasta, and the heavy Gouda layer was a bit overpowering. Sweet Endings To finish, we shared the Warm Butter Cake, which was absolutely delicious! The ice cream was wonderful and the strawberries were so fresh and bright. The only tiny miss was the pink powdered garnish around the plate--it didn't quite match the quality of the rest of the dessert. A Gentle Suggestion While the vibe was nearly perfect, I did notice a small moment at the bar that gave me pause. One of the bartenders coughed and continued preparing drinks without stopping to wash their hands. In such a high-end space, a little extra attention to hand-washing rituals would go a long way in making guests feel completely comfortable! Overall: A truly beautiful spot with top-tier meats and a wonderful ambiance. With just a few tweaks to the sides and bar care, it would be a 10/10 experience read more

This is a place I feel that the food matches the price. It is pricey but the food is very good and you will be full! I got ordered the caviar and tater tots as an appetizer, the chicken fried lobster tail , with roasted broccoli and plain Mac and cheese and an espresso martini. All 10/10. The lobster tail is a substantial size, the chicken fried flavor is unlike anything I've had before in a great way. The wait staff was great. Very attentive even on a busy day like Valentine's Day. Definitely recommend! read more

The Ruxton, an Atlas restaurant, is by and far the best steakhouse in Baltimore harbor east. We came here for Valentine's Day weekend and were lucky to get a reservation on Sunday at 515pm.

Our LOVE story is my favorite love story! & The Ruxton was the perfect choice to celebrate our anniversary! *9/18* Made reservations and noted we would like a special booth with a bottle of champagne when we arrived. I was impressed with my husbands pick for the night, but when he asked me to get fancy and wear his favorite little black dress, I knew I was in for a treat! We arrived on time, valet and a parking garage were options, and were greeted with a smile. As we were escorted to our table they had decorated the booth with rose petals and a card and had a nice bottle on chill just as we requested. Our server Quan was excellent! Super friendly, welcoming and wore a smile all night! He was very knowledgeable of their menu and shared some awesome suggestions that we just couldn't pass up! To start I enjoyed the chargrilled oysters and the boo opted for the sliders. He said they were perfect served how they were and was impressed that he didn't need to add anything to them. His Caesar Salad was also delicious! Fresh, crispy with the perfect amount of dressing. Honestly we agreed it was probably the best Caesar salad we've ever had. I also ate all my oysters which my husband said they must've been good because I can never eat all of anything! Hahaaa! And before you say I'm a greedy pig for not offering my love one, he actually can't eat them. Anyhoo onto dinner, we went with the lamb chops and branzino accompanied by broccoli minus the bacon, creamed spinach, creamed corn and mashed potatoes. Now I didn't have any lamb but the hubs said it was perfect. As for everything else delicious! The mashed potatoes were not impressive and were missing something! They were tasteless...bland like boxed potatoes... yuck! Other than that- I was so full from my oysters but I did get to taste on everything else...hahaaa! Celebrating our love- what's a celebration without dessert! So I had already had plans for the butter cake and coffee *oink oink* and the hunnie opted for the lemon meringue cheesecake with espresso! Hands down 10/10!!!! Compared to our go to Joes Seafood in DC this was an amazing experience and perfect choice to celebrate us! And Quan helped make that celebration just a bit more special. I can't wait to make our way back here and to this side of town!! So many tasty options I need to check off my list! Now if you want to get dolled up and hang out with the girls, celebrating something or trying to decide on a perfect place for date night, The Ruxton is it!!!!!! Happy Yelping!! read more

Ruxton's lunch menu offers fantastic value--delicious food at a great price point. You really can't go wrong here. Bread Visually, the bread is a showstopper--golden and glistening with melted butter. Flavor-wise, it was milder than expected. The buttery finish made it look irresistible, but I wished for a bit more depth in taste. Clam Chowder The chowder was rich and satisfying, though a touch salty for my palate (I tend to be sensitive to salt). I'd personally prefer more clam and a little less bacon or pork--the bacon adds great flavor but also amps up the saltiness. The portion size was spot-on: generous enough to enjoy without spoiling my appetite for the main course. Steak Salad The steak was beautifully cooked and generously portioned. The salad itself had a lot going on--flavorful and fresh, though the large asparagus pieces felt a bit clunky. I ended up cutting them down for easier bites, but overall, it was a satisfying dish. Dessert: Strawberry Chiffon Cake Light, airy, and pleasantly sweet. I'm not usually a dessert person, but this one was a lovely finish to the meal. Service I visited on a Friday afternoon and the team was on point. The pacing of the meal was perfect, and everyone was warm and attentive. Special shoutout to my server, Demetrius, who was exceptional--he recommended a red wine that paired beautifully with my steak salad. It elevated the whole experience. This is a great place to have a special meal. read more

We were in Baltimore for a good time, but not a long time. We wanted to do one luxurious steakhouse outing, and the Rexton was the place we chose.

First time in Baltimore and this was our first food stop. Went here for their happy hour. They have great drink AND food prices on their happy hour menu with pretty affordable pricing and a few $10 cocktails. They do charge a 3% facilities fee that you'll find on your bill at the end. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant is lovely. While sitting at the bar I will say we did not get the best service. The staff was not friendly and every time we needed something we had to flag someone down. Staff were not attentive at the bar, may be a different story if you have a table. read more

Exceptional! Simply one of the best restaurants I've been to from the service to the food to the drinks! Not to mention it's really beautiful. We went for my birthday and when we got to the table it was a card waiting for me. For appetizers we got the caviar tots and oysters both delicious! For our meals we got lamb chops, sea bass, asparagus and crab Mac and cheese; none of which disappointed. And I had a raspberry sorbet as my birthday dessert. Truly an amazing experience and I highly recommend. Worth the price! read more

This is easily one of my top 3 favorite lunch spots. The lunch special feels like the best kept secret--delicious, well-priced, and such a treat in the middle of the day. It's usually not crowded during lunch hours, which makes the service extra sharp and attentive. Honestly, everything on the menu is impeccable. What we ordered: * Ruxton Ceviche - 3.5/5 * Tomato Bisque - 5/5 * Lemon Butter Pawn- 5/5 * Jail Salmon - 4/5 *. Double chocolate brownie - 6/5 A go-to spot I'll always recommend for a perfect lunch! read more

Visited The Ruxton on a Saturday evening to celebrate a close friend's birthday. We had a reservation and arrived a little early. We were greeted immediately and walked to the hostess stand, then promptly seated. The dimly lit restaurant was beautiful and had an upscale yet inviting feel. Our waitress came over right away, offering a helpful rundown of the menu, which made choosing an appetizer easy. We went with the chargrilled oysters and they were incredible. If I had the room, I would have ordered a second round. For my main, I ordered the branzino. It was enjoyable, though I wish it had been pan-seared with crispy skin for more texture. The lobster mac and cheese, however, was the best I've ever had at a restaurant -- rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The baby artichokes were delicious, and the Caesar salad, while fresh, was fairly standard. A highlight was when our waitress surprised us with complimentary champagne and a beautifully presented butter cake for the birthday celebration. The butter cake was phenomenal .....honestly the best I've ever had and will be a reason for my return visit, along with those unforgettable oysters. Even the table bread was fantastic. The only drawback was the addition of a facility fee. While the menu is already on the pricier side (which I didn't mind for the fine dining experience), it's something guests may want to be aware of in advance. Overall, our experience was amazing from start to finish, and I'm already planning to come back for my favorite dishes. read more

Came here to celebrate and overall had a really lovely experience. The service was amazing--attentive, warm, and made the night feel special without being overbearing. Big bonus points for the speakeasy attached, which had a great vibe and was the perfect spot to linger with a drink. Food-wise, the lamb was just okay. Nicely presented and cooked well, but a bit bland and didn't quite live up to the rest of the experience flavor-wise. On the flip side, the crab mac absolutely stole the show--rich, indulgent, and packed with flavor. Would come back for that alone. Drinks were on point too. The Hugo Spritz was refreshing and well-balanced, an easy win. Overall: stellar service, great atmosphere, standout sides and drinks. A few tweaks to the mains and this place would be a knockout. read more

Arrived at the Ruxton for date night and were greeted the door. We have a few minutes to take photos at the entrance and then were quickly seated. The inside is nice and totally gives date night vibes. The bar was packed as was the restaurant overall. I totally see how the reservations were all booked. The seating is a little snug as in some cases you are about 2 feet away from the next table. Where we were sitting was to the back of some bar seating so looking at them all night was a little strange. A curtain or something would be nice. A table came after us and were somehow waited on before us which almost made me leave but we decided to stay anyway. Our waiter came over and walked us through the menu. My wife ordered a lemon drop which did not last long. Delicious according to her. We skipped appetizers and went straight to out entrees. We ordered the following: Jail Salmon, Mac & Cheese Trio, Crab and Shrimp Risotto, and waffle fries. Before our entrees the Bread came. It was juicy and delicious. The salmon was a nice sized portion. Seasoned well. No issues. The Mac & Cheese Trio caught me off guard. I was not expecting three separate dishes of Mac & Cheese. I thought I would have all the meet in one dish so be prepared. It is a lot. The waffle fries were cold and tasted fairly bland. Salt was definitely missing. The crab and shrimp risotto was GREAT. My first time trying risotto and it was tasty, seasoned and delicious. Overall, I had a good experience . I will be back to try the steak. Service was good and the food was good for the most part. Great place for date night. read more

Ive been back to sit at the bar several times. The service is hit or miss, as some bartenders are very friendly and others have appeared to be having a bad day. The bar area is very nice with a nice amount of seating, but it can get quite crowded. It is a more expensive outing of course, and not ideal if you are looking for an affordable outing. The happy hour menu is pretty limited, but you can still get full service at the bar. I enjoy their Caesar salad, although the croutons are very crunchy. The brownie dessert is delicious but VERY SWEET. Getting the sauce on the side and swapping out the ice cream helps. read more

Very delicious steak house right in Inner Harbour! We went here for a graduation celebration dinner, and the staff were very enthusiastic and great hosts. The dishes were all presented beautifully, and tasted great. We had to get the seafood tower, and it was marvelous, stacked from bottom to the top with scrumptious seafood delights. The oysters were fresh and juicy, and the shrimp delicious as well. The sauce choices for the seafood tower were able to complement very well with the seafood. We also got the crab and shrimp risotto which was very creamy and rich. The chicken fried main lobster tails were also amazing. The steak though was not as good as the seafood options. We wanted a medium rare, but it came out more as medium. We also felt that the flavours weren't as intense as we typically expect from a dry aged steak (we got the 32oz porterhouse). Overall, we just generally felt that the price was a little high for the taste/quality of the meat. Though you may be full from the mains, definitely don't skip out on the warm butter cake. It's the most popular dessert for a reason. read more

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.

I finally went to The Ruxton for a celebration dinner and what a celebration it was! Every staff member we encountered was so nice and attentive. The table was clean and impeccable and the seats were so comfy! The overall atmosphere is swanky and moody and GIVES fancy steakhouse. To start, we got red wines, 9oz each, and they felt like nice and generous pours. You also get the freshest rolls with butter complimentary and they are delicious. We got the waygu sliders, crudo tasting, and tater tots with caviar. The sliders were so savory and well cooked, crudo was fresh and flavorful, and the tater tots with caviar was delectable. For our mains, we did the ribeye and 10oz filet, both crusted with our choice of flavor, and I chose the horseradish sauce which was so yummy and zingy. Both steaks were cooked perfectly. For sides, we got creamed spinach, baked potato, and crab mac and cheese. I wish there were more toppings on the potato but other than that, literally no complaints. For dessert, we got the brownie which was DECADENT and the butter cake which was HEAVENLY. Even if you are full, you have to try one of the desserts.

My wife surprised me to dinner at the Ruxton for my 30th birthday and It was a beautiful experience. The ambiance was elegant and clean for a grown man like myself. I was welcomed to a happy birthday card and guided to my seat. Our waiter was friendly and shared his recommendations and how to order. We ordered for appetizer the chargrilled oysters which were absolutely delicious. Very buttery and seasoned well with salt and herbs. My wife ordered the brick chicken and I ordered the lamb chops with a side of herb waffle fries and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was delicious we kept scooping more and the waffle fries were one of the best I've had. It was almost chippy but still had a French fry consistency. read more

Amazing evening at The Ruxton for Valentine's Day. It's a romantic vibe with a great music playlist if you listen up. Our server was nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The dinner started with complimentary bread topped with what I think was a garlic butter. I ordered the branzino--it was delicious. I wasn't crazy about the pine nuts (it may be a texture thing for me) but the pomegranate was a nice touch. My boyfriend ordered the sea bass--it was very flavorful. The sides are a la carte and made for sharing; we ordered the broccoli, mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. All three were delicious. Do not skip the warm butter cake for dessert!!! read more

The Ruxton was amazing! My husband I came to celebrate our 2 Wedding anniversary and I'm so glad he picked out this restaurant. Service was PHENOMENAL. There was never a time when my husband or I needed anything. Our reservation was for 5 PM. By 6PM, we had been fully served and ready to pay our check. Although our dining experience was quick, it did not feel rushed - we just felt very well taken care of. For appetizers I got the chargrilled oysters and they were GREAT! I don't think anyone will have as good of chargrilled oysters as New Orleans....but these were a close second! My husband got raw oysters and he said those were good too! For entrees I got the filet mignon Oscar and my husband got the Cowboy steak. Both were very tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection! For sides, we got the macaroni and cheese trio. We were not a fan of the macaroni and cheese as it was a little too watery for us and lacked seasoning. However, we also for a Caesar salad and that was really well made! I was told there was a dress code here, but I'm not quite sure how strictly it is enforced. There were people in blazers, dressed and heels and then there were also people in jeans, sneakers, mini skirts, and loose t-shirts. read more

A family member and I decided to dine at the Ruxton this past Saturday (4/11/26) before attending a concert. We arrived at 5:30pm with a 5:45pm reservation. As we have done during previous visits we checked in and inquired if our favorite server (Quan) was available. We were immediately met with attitude and an eye roll from the hostess (Pearla). She rudely informed us we would have to wait 30 minutes to an hour if we wanted him as a server. We informed her we would wait and took a seat. We waited around 20 minutes before she informed another host (JR)to seat us. He walked us to a table that two women were already sitting at and we had to inform him and apologize to the women that we did not know them. Embarrassed, we had to walk all the way back to the front. We informed her of the mishap and were not offered an apology. We sat another 20 minutes without any acknowledgement or update before my family member asked her directly what was the hold up. We were then immediately seated. We informed our server Quan what happened and he graciously apologized for everything and provided us with the wonderful service we have received from him multiple times. It was very unfortunate that we were treated so poorly by the front of the house staff. In all my dining experiences at the Ruxton, I have never received such treatment. Hopefully the Ruxton will provide Pearla with some training on efficient ways to respectfully communicate with customers read more

I'm torn between a 4 and a 5 for this review...but also not really because for the price there shouldn't be any hesitation about a 5-star experience. I have been to The Ruxton twice now, both on Friday evenings, once at the start of dinner service (5pm) and once towards the end-ish (9pm). Well, let me clarify that my reservation was for 9pm but it took an additional 15-20 minutes to be seated. They did eventually provide us with some complimentary wine but providing our table would have been ideal, especially because they have a strict cancellation policy ($50 per person if you cancel within 24 hours). Let me start with the food: I love the lemon butter prawns, but probably love the buttered toast served with them more than the prawns themselves. It is just SO good and flavorful. The prawns are yummy too, and huge. I have also tried the branzino (tasty but not the best I've had, and be careful because though it's served deboned, I still found a few), roasted broccoli, and Mac and cheese. The broccoli stalks are also huge and the Mac and cheese is quite cheesy. I prefer the latter after it has cooled a bit because the cheese presents as a bit liquidy when it arrives otherwise. I tasted my friend's crab cake and it was good but there's better to be found in the area. I sampled the crab and shrimp risotto as well and let's just say...that's not for me. Tasted very salty but my mother seemed to like it well enough (I think). The warm butter cake is the standout and can be comfortably shared between 3 people. For the not so good: The funfetti cake they serve for birthday guests is dry with a weird almost bitter frosting and, I would imagine, hardly up to their standards. They should be ashamed of serving that to patrons. The bread for the table has also taken a long time to come out both times I've dined here. Yes it's fresh, but if it takes 30 minutes to arrive then...yikes. I also thought I would be wowed by the wagyu sliders but I was not. As for the service, it's indeed a fine dining experience but, somehow, our server at the start of dinner service skipped over the menu description and I was with two people who had never been to the establishment before. We overheard a server from another table giving the full spiel and noticed the huge difference. That was disappointing. Lastly, I find the seating to be uncomfortable. Overall, it's a good time. You may spot some Ravens players. Valet is $20 (not including gratuity) and convenient . Go and enjoy. read more

The food was mind blowing . This was my second time eating here and it didn't disappoint me. The cocktail was fantastic. The tater tots with caviar were amazing and delicious. Definitely recommend it. I had the ribeye and it was not a disappointment, simply outstanding. The service was excellent and the ambiance was great. Make sure you sit in the speakeasy section they have live music. Great piano singer and cello player. read more
