Love this place! One of the very best two or three spots in Baltimore. You can order food from their lite bites menu or get food straight off the Ruxton menu. By the way the caramel chocolate cake dessert is outstanding. Love going out and enjoying live music (bass, piano, trumpet) - the ambiance of this speakeasy cannot be beat. We will definitely be back.
