The Rux offers an elevated experience (and not just because we’re on the roof) with a healthy dose of southern sensibility. Here, refined meets unwind in a way that makes each visit feel special without getting stuffy. The Rux is a gorgeous, special occasion-worthy escape, even when that special occasion is “it’s Tuesday.” Feeling at home even while you’re being a little fancy is our sweet spot. This approachability coupled with an appreciation for the finer things is what sets us apart. We’re sneakers with a slip dress. Fried chicken and a French 75. Stylish? Extremely. Pretentious? Never. So, bring your friends, order something strong, and settle in for an unforgettable night high above Nashville.

    The scallops absolutely amazing must have ! Pasta not so much ! Service was good no complaints except for the server charging my card for a 17$ additional tip I had forgotten to sign my receipt and he took it upon himself to add an additional tip after I left a cash tip .. when calling to speak with a manager I was told none where there and that the general manager was in a meeting and would get back with me . 3 days later still no response . Will not return due to that but it’s cool he obviously needed it .

    This place was beautiful and amazing! Our server was adorable and very helpful and very well trained and knowledgeable. She was comfortably casually informative, and also accepting of my friend who is transgender. The meal was amazing although we ate too much. My friend is a very significant person at Dell computers and she plans lots of meal functions and events. As I was driving her home, she said I’m going to take my staff there.

    We had our 30th high school reunion meet and greet there and it was awesome! The staff accommodated us well and service was fast and friendly. The valet gave all attendees complimentary parking. Everyone greeted us with a smile. The indoor and outdoor patio was gorgeous with amazing views! I only wish they had a live music or a DJ component, but their background music was actually good just needed to be a little louder, overall our experience was grand and we will definitely be back!

    I found an advertisement for the Rux in Eat Local magazine, and from the images, it looked like a cool place to eat and drink. However, disappointment soon set in for both my wife and me as we pulled up to the Cambria Hotel on the west end. A bit confused, we asked the lobby staff where The Rux was, and they said it was on the rooftop. When we got up there, we noticed how dead it was and quickly discovered it was just a glorified hotel restaurant. Don’t get me wrong, I have eaten at several high-end restaurants in higher-end hotels, but this place feels like it’s trying to hit the marks of a high-end restaurant without all the flair. The views of downtown were great, but that was about it. The menu was supposed to be tapas-inspired, with small to larger shareable plates. The steak frites was not very good at all; I asked for it to be medium, and it came out medium-well. Needless to say, it was very bland and attempted to mask the blandness with a sriracha sauce. The “inspired” drinks were good; however, they did not make up for the food.

    The Roux is really pretty rooftop restaurant bar. The service was prompt and the staff was great. I try the bacon amazing but overpriced, the tacos was good flavor but, it wasn’t enough meat in it and the crab cakes I didn’t like at all the wine was amazing. The ambiance was too dark for my taste overall I have a good time. Oh and you can have up to 2 hour free parking
