Great place! Amazing food and atmosphere. Decor is nice and servers are kind as well.

Poor management...rude and dismissive. My standard table reservation was not honored until we asked to be moved twice. The wait staff was wonderful, but would not return there due to the management.

Wonderful place

It’s was a great place to celebrate. The food was good for the time price and we ended up ordering a lot of food, the food fills you up fairly quickly. The only issue we had was the noise from a large take of 15 people shouting and talk really loud.

Atmosphere was friendly. Food was excellent and the staff were friendly and professional. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend!

It took for ever to get our drinks and food. Cappuccino was diluted. Staff was sooo slow. This place was much better a year ago.

I reserved table inside. Was seated outdoor. Was very cold. Even the food got cold before I finished eating.

their website advertises a fully heated outdoor section. Only about 4 tables out for 20+ had heaters by them…all which were open and when we asked to move to a table with a heater we were told they were reserved. We ate/finished our meal and all said tables were still completely open.

Our server was amazing! She remembered my daughter and I from our previous visit and remembered what we ordered. Wow!!

Ordered a good amount of food, King Salmon, Branzino Filet, Tomahawk for 2, double cut Pork Chop, Several Apps and sides, and several cocktails. Overall cocktails were good, I order and an Old Fashioned everywhere I go, and can say its on the better side of the spectrum.

Apps:
Grilled Octopus - 5 stars
Mussels - 1 star (was raw and funky) They took it off the check
Brussel sprouts great flavor, but was lacking in quantity (Value lacked here) - 3 stars
Crispy Artichoke - 4 stars

Sides:
Truffle Fries - 5 stars
Grilled Mushrooms - 3 stars (would have wanted more exotic mushrooms like oyster, king, etc)

Main:
King Salmon - 4 stars
Branzino (filet)- 5 stars
Tomahawk for 2 - 3 stars (Dry age price for wet or not even aged)
Double cut pork chop - 4 stars (they brought the Lamb chops in error) came out late still enjoyed it

The place itself is a great place to drink and dine, live music.
Great decor and red velvet seats.

The outdoor in the back is covered and seems fun.

I would go back and try other things on the menu.

A good Old fashioned always signals a good place to enjoy and have a good night.
Other than the hiccups on the busy night, its great!

The food was surprisingly bland and thus overpriced. It was our first and definitely our last time at Rustica. One big positive is their outside seating area which is large and nicely decorated. A shame that the food could not live up to that. I am not one to give negative reviews especially at a time when restauranteurs are still trying to recover from this past year but bland food is inexcusable at their prices.

Need more staff members, the wait for food and the drinks were insane especially when I had the bottomless mimosas. Had to ask at least 5 times. Also the bathrooms were all broken.

It’s really sad to see how this restaurant has went down hill. I’ve been there twice in the last 2 months and prior to Covid. I understand that many businesses are understaffed right now so I expected the service to be a little slower but was not expecting the standards to have changed so drastically. The food took forever (this time and last) and last night there was only 3 tables inside the entire restaurant… no excuse for that. My husband got the lemon chicken… it was horrible. I can’t believe it was a $27 meal. The chicken was rubbery and the “lemon sauce” wasn’t lemony and was clumpy… it was like Campbells cream of soup or something. I couldn’t believe it. The fettuccine was bland. I had to put a lot of salt on it just to give it flavor. Where was the garlic? The rustica salad and the calamari was good. I went to the restroom. It was disgusting!!! It smelled, had the toilet Paper roll sitting on top of the toilet. There was a hole in the wall. It also looks like they were working on electrical but why is the box open where I can see wires? Two employee were in the bathroom around the same time as me… they had to smell the bathroom and see that it wasn’t clean… why did they not do something? Is the Mgr not setting high expectations, do the employees not care or is this the new standard at Rustica? Again this wasn’t because they were busy. The hostess stood up front on her phone the entire time as she only seated 2-4 people in the almost 2 hours we were there. The waiter was nice but didn’t check on us until our meals were almost gone. Well my husband actually didn’t eat much of his. The Mgr gave us dessert but I wasn’t looking for something free…. What I’m hoping for is that the mgrs pay attention to all areas of the restaurant; in and out and that they set higher expectations or they will lose their business slowly. If you want amazing food and great service… go to Haven. It’s fantastic and the food and experience is consistent.

I went to Rustica last night to celebrate my 48th birthday with a group of friends. They have a beautiful garden space in the back with live music ( we were there on a Saturday ). My best friend and I arrived a little early and they seated us right away, which was nice. Our waiter was very attentive, we were never hurried, and drinks were refilled without a wait. The food was delicious! I had the brie for an appetizer, and the lamb chops for my main meal, both were excellent. And for dessert they brought me out creme brulee with a candle in it and sang. All in all it was a fabulous evening and I"m looking forward to eating there again.

Attentive wait staff and good food. Pasta cooked perfectly. Cost a bit high (shrimp cocktail $18 for 4 medium sized shrimp).

Visar is the best. He strives to make sure your experience as well as your meal is memorable. I highly recommend.

My go to place. Just check my Open Table history. Amazing food and even better service!! Love it here!!! Inside & Out!!

We cannot wait to go back. Amazing service and food.

be prepared not to have pricing on list of drinks, whether cocktails or wines.

The place was amazing, everything was on point. a little disappointed they didn’t have the tomahawk steak. But ok overall

Had a great time!!!

Horrible experience. Took 1 hour to get entree's. The fish was old and over cooked. Sent it back and they took it off the bill.
Waitress was mortified, but what could she do. The place was over booked and obviously, the kitchen was not prepared.
Never will I return.

Had a great time,

I don’t like to shame others, but unfortunately i came out very unsatisfied. This restaurant needs a lot a lot teamwork, & need to work on communication. I had issues with my table twice and It was not even busy. Food was great but money wise it wasn’t worth it. Otherwise, vibe was great & decoration looked amazing. It is a big shame.

Wonderful service and good food. Loved the music. Will return.

Ambiance is amazing. Drinks are great. We had grilled octopus for appetizer, it was delicious. By time we were done with it we realized that they never gave us a sauce that it comes with. My partner had duck which he said was delicious. Also ordered Parmesan fries, which was literally just fries with few shavings of Parmesan cheese drizzled on top. I on the other hand was severely disappointed with tuna steak. Tuna steak was sesame crusted, I ordered it rare so it was barely cooked as I like it, the issue was that sesame seeds were so charred and bitter they tasted like charcoal, I had to literally peel them off. The sauce for tuna was extremely bitter and unpleasant. It came with side of cous cous, and it was horrible. It was so dry and crispy and resembles dried up, chopped up hay; tasteless as well.
Two of the desserts we wanted were not available. The third option of the chocolate mousse was just meh and the slice was tiny. Overall the place is just ok. Ambiance and vibe is nice, drinks are nice but food is hit or miss.

They quickly accommodated my party of 7. Food was delicious! Portions are just right. Decently priced for an upscale type of restaurant. Will definitely recommend and return.

Great ambiance and atmosphere Tomas was a great host for my bday brunch

Brunching with friends

They were out of 3 items we wanted to order.

Birthday dinner

Overpriced for average food unfortunately. Nice interior decor

We both got multiple mosquito bites in the outdoor (enclosed) dining area. Tough to enjoy the dinner when you are on the menu yourself…

The service was horrible. Food came out iced cold twice.

Great food, great ambiance, wiater was amazing. But it was way to quiet. Jazz ended at 10pm and then it was just silence... would liek it more lively.

My friend and I have been in Rustica twice already in the past year during the pandemic and each time we felt safe and the service and food was excellent. We will come again and hopefully soon.

Lamb chops were amazing drinks were spectacular but the staff is the key to this place on point all the time attentive and knowledgeable.

Birthday celebration I didn’t a chance to sing Happy Birthday after I specify with directions. waitress kept taking long in waiting for our service .the place it’s beautiful but the service was very delay with our order and drinks

Was very impressed with the interiors. The outside dining area was amazing, brightly colored. Our server was lovely and the food was very good and well prepared. Our cocktails were good, but a little pricey. Other than that, it was a lovely evening for us and we will be back again.

Brie was 😋😋😋
