    Our evening at the Rusty Scupper was nice. The waiter was very knowledgeable, but we didn’t find him to have a lot of personality. Also, the restaurant is beautiful, but they sat us in the back corner where there were two other families, but they were finishing up and left before we received our appetizer and then we were back there with no other patrons. My wife and I like and desire good ambiance in a restaurant and it wasn’t what we expected. The meal was amazing and we enjoyed every bite. All-in-all it was an enjoyable evening.

    Walking into The Ruxton feels like stepping into a world of pure opulence. From the warm lighting to the tasteful décor, everything about the atmosphere left me in awe. I also appreciated the music selection, which was refreshingly diverse—and I loved the unexpected twist of hearing some Christian rap in the playlist. Our server, Jordyn, elevated the experience with excellent service and thoughtful recommendations. The Wagyu steak, paired with its rich sauce, was simply outstanding, and the Wagyu sliders did not disappoint either. One of the highlights was the salad, featuring bacon so flavorful it might be the best I’ve ever had. The lobster mac and cheese was solid—maybe not quite at the level of my grandmother’s Southern-style recipe, but still satisfying in its own right. Overall, everything—from the ambiance to the attentive service—made for a wonderful lunch date. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience with top-quality dishes and a welcoming vibe, The Ruxton should be at the top of your list.

    The Churrasco experience is awesome no matter how you slice it. Of course, all of the meat options are well-seasoned, juicy, and sliced just to the temp/doneness you prefer. But what really sets FdC apart is the variety apart from the table service. The drinks were tasty (not too “hard”), and the feijoada/salad bar has a variety of pretty much anything else you could want. NOTE: while the food and service were both excellent overall, getting to our reservation was a challenge. Having to wait 25 minutes past our reservation time just to get seated is pretty absurd, and don’t get me started on the ridiculous valet system in place. Since it was Valentine’s Day I don’t hold it against any of the fine staff who helped us, but it was frustrating.
