Dined here for a family birthday celebration and it was really good! It’s like a neighborhood gem. Great ambiance, nice food and drink selections and service was very good. I can’t recall our server’s name but she was a nice Asian woman. So pleasant and paid special attention to my 5yr which made him feel good! We sat inside but there is also an “outdoor” space with a retractable roof. I’ll definitely be returning

We had a very relaxing experience, they knew we were celebrating a bride to be. The backyard was grand, only problem was the fans weren't working. But the Mimosas were flowing ad the atmosphere was everything. The photographer accused us of a picture being stolen and we paid for one photo, and ofcourse we paid for the missing one, I still believe she miss counted. Other than that if you need somewhere to go and chill Rustik really nice and accommodating. We had a great time.

Didn’t serve my burger medium rare. Waiter was goofy. Our drinks took forever to come. The cosmo was terrible. It was in a small champagne style glass, was sour to the taste and $21. Rip off.

Rooftop was excellent! We were able to enjoy sitting outside with a view on cushy chairs/sofa with a party of 5 and 1 dog comfortably!
