Restaurants near H L Mencken House

We had a brilliant experience. Me and my wife were there for a date night. We tried their "Silk Road Journey Experience". It started with their spreads. The Muhamara, Beet Mutabal and the Baba Ghanouj are worthy of a special mention. Then we had our Mezze. We tried the Mousakhan Chicken Rolls and the Kebbet Karaz. Both of them were amazing. We went towards the entree and we tried the Kebab Antabli and the Shish Tawouk. The Shisk Tawouk was outstanding. For the drinks we tried the Araks. This was our first time and I must say we will be drinking Arak for a while. It was a really good experience.

Squid ink pasta was a hit, as was the bolognese and bronzino. The meatball app was delicious. We loved our waitress who helped us pick out wines as - wow, their wine list is extensive/impressive.

The food was absolutely amazing. We started with oysters, which were fresh and flavorful, and followed with a hearty bowl of seafood gumbo that was perfectly seasoned. For entrées, we tried the chicken mushroom linguine and the salmon—both dishes were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Our waiter was attentive and honest, even mentioning that the bar service was a bit slow that evening. To make up for it, they graciously offered us a complimentary dessert. While the gesture was unnecessary, it was certainly appreciated and capped off an already stellar meal. The combination of exceptional food and thoughtful service made this an unforgettable dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!

The service was excellent, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was wonderful. We had a lovely dining experience and it made for a very special Christmas Eve! Thank you so much.

Wonderful Christmas Eve experience at the Ruxton. We opted for a late lunch and were totally satisfied with the service, ambiance and (of course) the food. My filet was prepared exactly as requested and it was extremely tender and delicious. My wife’s salmon dish was equally satisfying. If you haven’t been to the Ruxton yet, you have to try it. You won’t be disappointed!
