Restaurants near Joseph Lee Park

Words cannot begin to describe how incredible this place is. Ammoora is an experience. From the waitstaff, to the cocktails, the atmosphere, each dish, is complex yet true to its Syrian heritage. Dean took incredible care of our party ensuring that our waters were full, we had a place to put our purses, and that our meal was appropriately coursed out. The manager made his round to us and enjoyed long conversation despite the restaurant being full. we never felt rushed or like a burden. The staff was thrilled to share their space with us and we were thrilled to receive every aspect of it.

Went for Valentine's Day. The food was amazing and we had what felt like the best seats in the house. Our table had a view of the entire restaurant, we had flowers and heart decorations. It was a fabulous night.

Staff was amazing, the food for our first time there was amazing taste. The drink I had for Valentines was amazing, reminded me of an old fashioned!!! Can't wait to return

Came to celebrate a birthday . The table we were sated at was nice . The parties sprung us however made the experience very unpleasant. Additionally having the runner continually ask if I was done or take my plate was not only an annoyance but felt invasive as if I was being rushed out of the establishment. I would give a 4/5 as our server was excellent ( crystal ) but I do believe further training is needed for the runners as no where in the reservation did it indicate a time allotment for me dining ( e.g. 3 hour window or 2 hour max ). It made the evening very uncomfortable and unpleasant to say the least .

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at The Ruxton on a random Monday night, and it turned into an unforgettable experience. We went with a mix of appetizers—grilled oysters, potato gnocchi in sage brown butter with goat cheese, Wagyu beef sliders, and king crab cocktail. It was a completely random selection, but every dish was outstanding. The gnocchi was rich and perfectly balanced, the Wagyu sliders were incredibly flavorful, and the king crab was fresh and sweet. All of it was complemented beautifully by a fantastic Sancerre. What truly elevated the evening, though, was our server, Sammy. Not only did Sammy provide exceptional service, but we also had a great conversation throughout the night. Engaging, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, Sammy made the experience even more memorable. It’s rare to have such a combination of incredible food and outstanding hospitality. I’ll definitely be returning—and when I do, I’ll be asking for Sammy!
