    When we went there the waitress just went through a list of things on the menu that they were no longer serving. We looked at the menu before hand and already knew some of these items that we were looking forward to so that was a little disappointing . We drove an hour and 20 min for this reservation. Otherwise it a good experience.

    The food was just okay. We had the valentine dinner. The salad was very very sweet. The duck was okay, too much cabbage on the plate, and the mashed turnip was bland and gummy. Ordered the chocolate trifle but there wasn't any chocolate. Disappointed for the price and quality. The best thing were the drinks and tomato soup. Would probably only go back for a happy hour.

    The service was exceptional. The food was great. The dining area is next to the tasting room which had big groups of people spilling out and close to the table while we were eating. When the tasting room cleared out, the dining room was quiet and lovely.

    This was our second visit to Sweet Rust. The first time was for brunch and everything was great. However, this time we were very disappointed. As starters, we ordered the focaccia and the brown bread rolls. The rolls were extremely dry and not edible. For $8, I was expecting something wonderful.. they were worse than day old bread. The entrees were a little better. Salmon was excellent, the tomahawk was cooked well and quite good. However, the wild boar medallions were dry and tough. In fact, most of the dish was left at the table. Service was attentive and responsive. Cocktails were enjoyable. We were looking forward to a birthday celebration, but we were disappointed and will not be returning.

    Are you looking for a delicious meal that makes you feel like your own personal chef went shopping at the local farmers market to prepare your meal? If the answer is "Yes" then you have found your go-to spot for breakfast/lunch/brunch/dinner. Every meal is made at soon as the order is put in, so grab a handcrafted beverage and enjoy some conversation while your meal is prepared. The portions are large enough that ordering a few dishes to share is a great idea so you can taste a little of everything they have to offer. Every dish has been well thought out and flavors are highlighted and balanced. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere will make you feel like a "regular" even if it is your first time dining with them. From the coffee, to the whiskey, and the food every bite or sip will make you eager to come back and try something else. Cheers

    Our experience was great ! The atmosphere was enjoyable - the menu was not huge BUT that meant everything on it was done right! Our meals were very, very good. My husband enjoyed the tasting cart - where he sampled several bourbons. We are happy to find a new restaurant in the area.

    Outstanding! Ligonier needs more options like Sweet Rust. Good food and cocktails- with nice creative and fresh takes. Really looking forward to going back. The venison chops look amazing, and the thick pork chop was perfect! Rabbit legs were fun, and can’t wait to try the lamb sliders next time- fig and grapefruit salad was a perfect way to cleanse the pallet

    Amazing food: our large party had almost every entree on the menu, and everything was exceptionally tasty. The service was also spectacular: they went far above and beyond what I expect even at a top restaurant. I will definitely be going back frequently!

    As soon as I walked in I was seated at the bar and offered a flight of their specially distilled spirits by Andrew the Bartender. He walked me through all of the cocktails as well as the food menu and explained how everything in the restaurant, from the drinks at the bar to the appetizers and entrees are all made from scratch with local produce, game, spirits and so on. The old fashioned made with the corn harvest bourbon was possibly one of my favorites. The rabbit legs were like a divine giant chicken wing that could have been a meal themselves. Upon trying the Sausage & Lentil soup, you’ll melt into the satisfying but simple flavors. When I found the dinner menu and inquired about trying the Wild Boar despite it being lunchtime, the chef was happy to oblige, needing some additional prep time to throw the feast together. The extra minutes were an excellent investment after tasting the Parmesan crusted green beans with the glazed carrots and fingerling potatoes; the sides were a perfect balance of flavors. As for the boar medallions, they were like a superb pork loin roast that reminds you of a dinner like your mom used to make. Finally, the blackberry roll was the perfect sweet note to end the meal on. Blended with apples, nuts and warm spices, it’s the kind of treat you wish you had on hand all fall and winter-long. Bottom line: Sweet Rust is the kind of farm to table restaurant this area has been needing for a long time. The food, drinks, the ambience and the staff all flow perfectly with what the restaurant aims to achieve. It’s a truly pleasant dining experience for any occasion.

    We enjoyed a pleasant lunch with lovely, fine dining touches. Lamb sliders, with blackberry/pickled jalapeño jam and creamy brie, were utterly delicious. Salads were substantial and very fresh, with perfect dressings. Looking forward to returning for brunch and dinner and more lunches!

    What a great find in Ligonier village! We were visiting from NYC for Thanksgiving and chose Sweet Rust Farm to Table for a date night while here. All of the food was so delicious, and the staff all very friendly. We loved it and can’t wait to bring my parents next time.

    Amazing farm to table food - we had the wild boar and bison. Simply delicious. The corn bread is a MUST! The hand crafted drinks were spot on, we had Manhattens & whiskey sours. The ambiance was so cozy with the fireplaces going and management/service was awesome. Hoping this place stays for good!
