This was our first time dining and we would definitely go back. The pasta dishes were delicious-freshly prepared and served piping hot. The salads were also fresh, bright and the dressings were a compliment, not overwhelming the flavors. Service was friendly and attentive. We had a high top in the bar area which was a fun vibe for a Saturday night. Nice dinner, no issues. Give it a try!

Ruxton's was fantastic. I had the Bone-in-Delmonico steak, cooked to a PERFECT medium, with truffle butter as an accoutrement, I could not be more satisfied with my choice. I have eaten at plenty of steak houses on par with Ruxton's, but my meal at Ruxton's was as good as the very best of them, if not better. I would recommend Ruxton's to anyone as a top notch dining experience!
