Atlas Restaurant Group continues expanding its footprint in the Philadelphia restaurant market. Specifically, the Baltimore-based hospitality group will open its second Philadelphia location near Rittenhouse Square.

The new concept, The Ruxton, will operate as a high-end steakhouse inside The Rittenhouse Hotel. Currently, the space is home to Italian restaurant Scarpetta. However, Scarpetta will close after dinner service on January 31.

Following the closure, Atlas Restaurant Group will begin repositioning the property for redevelopment. As a result, the existing restaurant will undergo a complete transformation. Construction is scheduled to begin in fall 2026.

Meanwhile, the project will include a multimillion-dollar renovation funded by Atlas Restaurant Group. Ultimately, the two-story restaurant is expected to open in 2027.

Overall, the new opening will strengthen Atlas Restaurant Group’s presence in Center City Philadelphia.
