   I was here about a year ago and it was an amazing place to eat and have a great time but last night the service, we have to call them for us to get service servers were polite but not paying attention, food was ok for the amount of money expend food was no where near where it needed to be the duck was inedible skin not cooked enough and ended up too chewy, charred octopus over cooked and it didn’t have the chimichurri that menu said it has, very disappointed and the drinks were kind of flat, no wonder was half empty when about a year ago you couldn’t get a table the same day

   Food was definitely not worth the price. We ordered a cheese board and what we got was very disappointing. Three pieces of cheese and nothing else. Cocktails were not good either, we ask for different ones and only one was good. Service was good until a point, but after a while the waiter just forget about us.

   Rustica Lounge Bar & RestaurantResponded on July 29, 2022We are sorry to read that your experiece was not the standard we are known for delivering. Our staff is always ready to accomodate our guests' requests, and we always consider how to improve our service. We do hope you give Rustica another chance, so that we can deliver a 5-star experience.

   I had a Groupon for brunch, it was a nice live jazz brunch and the musicians were fantastic. But there was no air conditioning, so it was very hot and uncomfortable seated inside, the food was mediocre, but I guess with the Groupon was a good deal.

   Rustica Lounge Bar & RestaurantResponded on July 18, 2022We are happy to read you enjoyed our jazz brunch. However, we are sorry that your overall experience could have been better. Our staff is readily available to listen to your concerns and be accommodating. Regarding the food you ordered from our brunch menu, it's always helpful for us to know what could have been better. We hope you give us another chance; we aim to provide an exceptional experience and do realize that the summer heat was a factor. Your feedback is genuinely appreciated.

    We came on mother day and my daughter n day ..made a reservation 2 weeks in advance. Called earlier in the day asking to maybe come earlier and the gentleman told me as long as you have a reservation you will be able to sit at that time. We got a table 25min later. Waited a hr for our food and got our apps at the same time..I rly like this place , we travel from a hr away and rly on come on special occasions. I understand it was a holiday , we will go back. But never on a holiday .

    Although it was Mother's Day & we understand the kitchen was backed up, our waiter was bad. We had to ask multiple times just to receive bread, and when he did bring it, it was only one basket of four when it was six people in our party. He kept disappearing and we have to wait long periods between putting in our drinks, our appetizers & our food. We were there from 3 to almost 8 because they couldn't serve everyone on time. And on top of that, the food was not that great for the amount of time we soent waiting.

    We had been sitting for an hour before our waiter mentioned delays in the kitchen, which was pretty obvious. When food arrived, my mother's was cold and my pasta was nuclear hot and couldn't be eaten for 13 minutes. Whenever we needed something(butter, more bread, fresh pepper with meal), it was a search for the waiter. I understand a busy Mother's day brunch, but service was terrible. I'm not sure if I will return for another chance.

    No valet on Mother’s Day and waited 2 hours for our meal after we were seated. We’ve dined here before so we’ll definitely give them another chance but it wasn’t their best service.

    The service was very slow. Got there at 12:30 and didn’t leave until 2:45. Our waiter was inattentive to our table. We constantly had to ask our waiters to check on our food. My chicken was hard and rubbery.

    The menu was changed for Mother’s Day so the brunch we came for was not there. And it was never mentioned on the website that there was a special menu. Our service brushed it off as if it didn’t matter. The food was delicious but the wait was super long between ordering and receiving food.

    This cozy little lounge/restaurant was super cute and decor was so elegant and beautiful. The lychee martini was soooooo delish. The food was super tasty and came out pretty quick. They had a live band which was sweet! The waiter was consistent and attentive. You have to try the seared scallops with risotto and the calamari w/ the dipping sauce. Cute little spot near the city and major highways.

    My wife and I each had three of their signature cocktails, all of which were fantastic and made with what tasted like fresh ingredients (though the blood orange garnish was freeze-dried). My wife started with a 1/2 dozen raw oysters as appetizer and had the sesame-encrusted tuna as entree, both of which she really loved. I had the chorizo and scallop appetizer, which was nice; scallops were nicely seared, not overcooked. I had the mushroom ravioli with burnt steak ends, which was really tasty, though the butter/mushroom sauce needed a bit more salt to bring out the flavor. We shared the berry tart for dessert, which was tasty, but wasn't remarkable. Our server was fun, friendly and attentive. Price was expensive, but we expected that for a fancy/special night out. I would definitely go back.
