I was excited to see Rustic Root open up in Solana Beach, as I had been to their place in the gas lamp. For starters, before we were seated I asked if the heaters were working on the outdoor patio and was assured yes by the hostess. The waitress came over quickly and we placed drink orders. Then started with the Artisian lettuce salad. It was a decent salad, nothing over the top. Then had cast iron skillet corn bread. This was amazing although much smaller than we had anticipated. At this point we never saw our waitress after we ordered the first round of drinks and food. We had asked 2 people to turn on the heaters and they proceeded to tell us that they were trying to get the manager to get them working. We had to grab one of the food servers to ask for another drink? No waitress. On to the entree that was the lobster pappardelle. Had potential, but came out lukewarm and left at our table without asking if we needed any pepper or anything for it. Now it was really cold. Finally they got the heaters working but with cold pasta, we picked up our plate and finished at the bar. only then did the waitress come over and say.... so your moving inside? really disappointed. I would suggest sitting at the bar at least your will get service

We brought our friends from out of town for dinner. We live the vibe and ambiance at Rustic Root. Unfortunately the service was subpar. We had no silverware until we got up and grabbed it from the cabinet, asked for water multiple times, empty cups and plates were not cleared until we asked someone and overall our service experience was disappointing. Hopefully they can add some attentive wait staff so others don’t have the same experience

Ambiance was great but the food was very under seasoned and bland. Our server knew the menu well and our drinks were divine. The food was a disappointment though.

First I would like to say our server Maddie (I think I’m spelling it correctly) was great. It seemed like she had a lot of tables. But she was always pleasant and got everything we wanted. The food tasted good and the drinks were good. It was a bit noisy with the music. The decor was nice. I guess the only really real complaint would be the bathrooms being outside the building. But honestly our server was really awesome. So I will come back.
