    I was there for lunch and so the noise level was much less than dinner time. I absolutely love everything about the Rushton, it’s one of my most favourite restaurants. It never disappoints.

    We've always enjoyed The Rushton casual atmosphere consistent good food. They have a great patio, however the service can be hit and miss and it is a very loud restaurant but we're prepared for this.

    Food is great Service is good Ambience is relaxed - especially out on the patio. Inside is very loud...always the case with the Rushton. That's why I like to go in the summer.

    We chose a great table in the front near the big open window, although the terrace looked lovely too. Our waitress was very pleasant and efficient. The mood is relaxed with a bit of a special occasion feel about it. Menu is varied and food was very good.

    Fantastic neighborhood eatery. Quick and attentive service. The drinks looked incredible even though we opted for water. The food was hot and fresh and cooked perfectly. We got the ravioli in a cream sauce, and the seafood pasta, and both were exactly what we needed. It's not a stuffy atmosphere. You don't need to be dressed to the nines. One whole wall opens up to the outdoors. It was brightly lit, fun and unassuming. Go if you get a chance. 8.5/10 from me.

    I find that I always wait a long time to order, then an even longer time for my food to arrive. I don’t find the serving staff attentive at all and often never come back to check with you until you call for the check, after waiting a long time again. I feel like you pay a lot of money for mediocre (at best) food and service. This is not my first time at the restaurant but it might be my last.
