Ruse

My husband and I traveled over the bridge to come here for our 13th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint! Our server was great, she was very knowledgeable of the menu and made excellent recommendations. We had some appetizers, a salad that we shared which had we known the size ahead of time we would have probably gotten two, and entree each and a dessert to share. Everything was excellent!

This place is so good we went twice. Seriously. This is the BEST restaurant in St. Michaels and, honestly, it’s not even close. First time we went, we got a sampling of the oysters, the trout, and the short rib. All were delicious. Not really a fish guy but the trout was A+. We had to come back for the tuna hand rolls, the mookie blue and ninigret nectar oysters, and the cheeseburger. Man. What a meal. Both for late lunch and dinner, this is hands down the spot to beat. We sat inside for dinner, people watched for Lucy. Other places are good, but this is above and beyond. P.s. the service was incredible. We got the same waiter both times. Good small talk. Great recommendations. Really spoke well about the menu. P.p.s. Their soft serve choices are off the charts. Matcha with apple. 🤌🤯

WOW! What a place! My family dined here while we were on vacation in August and I have to say we had the best experience. The wait staff were very attentive and helpful. But the food absolutely stole the show. Incredibly delicious. Plus happy hour pricing was very good!

From the moment we were greeted and shown to our table, we were treated like family.Ana did a fantastic job serving. She was friendly, knowledgeable and pleasantly outgoing. She made the whole Thanksgiving dinner experience wonderful. This was our first trip to Ruse but we will definitely be back soon. Fantastic job by everyone including the hostess, bartender, chefs, servers, and management. What a great place to be thankful for on this special day.

Quality of the food and service is on par or better than many Michelin star restaurants in DC. Everything was amazing. Cocktails were also amazing, balanced and original. Worth the day trip from the DC area.
