Best Steakhouses in Quarry Lake

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.

Went here for Valentine's Day and had a fantastic time! Our server (Savannah) was knowledgeable, patient, and funny. She dealt with all of our annoying questions and terrible jokes perfectly. 10/10 service (I say this as a former server myself), from guiding through dishes, punctual food delivery, and rapid table clearing. The manager (Charles) stopped by to chat and introduce himself with many tables, which is always an appreciated touch. He even came back an additional time with some samplings of their in-house prosecco and stuck around to talk shop and history if the restaurant just a pinch, which was very entertaining to hear about. The drink selection was excellent, and we enjoyed our bottle of wine as well as the craft tequila cocktail (and they have every type of Clase Azul available, a dream come true). Each item we ordered from amongst the Valentine's Day menu (well balanced menu with plenty of choices, unlike every other fixed menu I've had or served) was excellent. My grandmother's ghost is probably going to haunt me for saying this, but I think that the mushroom risotto i had was the best I've ever tasted. The quinoa + stuffed mini pepper starter was delicious, and we both cleaned our plates of our entrée (Chilean sea bass and salmon). I will say, the Valentine's Day specific decoration and music wasn't quite our taste, but I'm sure plenty of people appreciated it. I would have preferred the restaurant's usual classy atmosphere, but everything else more than made up for it. Overall, the quality of service and food easily matched the price we paid for our meal. Expect that 2 people can spend around $300 (before tip/tax) if you plan to have 4 courses and a bottle of wine with dinner + an extra drink.

It was Valentine’s Day so we knew it would be crowded and loud. So we were cool with that. However the food was not up to its usual standards. The lamb chops were under cooked and the sides were luke warm. We didn’t want to send it back but it was just too much going on and we didn’t want to wait too much longer. We love Maestro’s but will probably NEVER go on Valentine’s Day again.

The Prime Ribis the best of the best in Baltimore. The food is incredible. The room is old-school and very elegant, including live piano and sax. We absolutely love Aaron and feel lucky when we get him. There is no one like him. He is so kind, so knowledgeable and just makes our whole experience perfect!!! Love, love The Prime Rib!

Ruth Chris is hands down my favorite restaurant for variety, ambiance, service and availability (they stay open late). The ribeye and stuffed chicken are my favorite entrees. I always order the lobster mac no matter what else i eat. The seafood tower is absolutely amazing too. The bbq shrimp were a bit disappointing this time, usually very savory. Last night way too salty. Also disappointed they still dont take apple pay, google wallet... like cmon guys. I had to leave and go to an ATM to get cash and pay for my meal. They need a sign posted as patrons walk through the door so this doesn't happen to anyone else. Still my favorite restaurant!!!
