Best Date Night Restaurants in Monkton

First time dining here. The place is as beautiful as i’ve always heard. Very classy. My girlfriend said the Chicken Piccata was the best meal she’s ever had. I had the Lamb and it was very good. Didn’t catch our servers name but she was very nice & attentive. We sat by the bar but it wasn’t loud at all. The chocolate hazelnut rocher was incredible.

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.

Delicious and great atmosphere- large generous portions

My wife and I had a tremendous meal at Oregon Grille. It was last minute and I was only able to get seating in the galley area next to the street. Our server was excellent, and helped my wife on her drink selection. The food was outstanding, seafood tower, Wagyu Tomahawk steak for 2 was delicious and prepared perfectly. It’s the 1st time my wife did not add salt or use a steak sauce. While pricey, it was well worth it and we shall return.

Chicken in a Pot very delicious. Do buffalo wings for an appetizer if you’re into a little spice.
