Rustic Kitchen has been our favorite neighborhood restaurant since they opened nine years ago. The food has always been excellent, and owners John (sommelier) and Noelle (chef), and their staff, have made it a warm, welcoming place. Unfortunately, as you can tell from the way this is written, they are closing the restaurant as of January 4, 2025. We will miss them and Rustic Kitchen very much.

Arguably the L.A. area's finest English Pub experience. Great food to boot at fair prices. Parking can be a challenge and expensive. Walk here from a few blocks away if you can.
