About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Neighborhood gem

Partners and long-time friends, Ryan Hines and Jay Kulas believe that the most important moments in life are about building relationships and usually involve a great meal.

Stripping away the formalities of the typical dining experience, The Rustic Spoon is serving up breakfast, brunch and lunch while focusing on quality local ingredients, family recipes, warm service and a relaxed causal ambiance.

    Went to Rustic Spoon for brunch with the Bestie. Neither of us has ever been there but we were pleasantly surprised. We had a great brunch and the food was pretty tasty. My french toast was a little on the cold side but the cocktails and food were overall pretty good. I would go again just to sample the lunch and dinner menu.

    The restaurant was very nice. The waitress was attentive. The food was delicious, I got the scallop risotto which was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My daughter got the surf and turf and said it was great. Will definitely return.

    We absolutely love it, here! It was my dad’s first time coming to eat and he loved it! Great casual yet elevated atmosphere and I always feel comfortable bringing my kids. They love it just as much as the adults do. Everett (Angie) was so personable and nice! The food, delicious as always! Top notch as we can’t wait to come back when my husband is home!

    What a delightful first visit. Everett was an exceptional server. Her warmth and charm, knowledge of the menu and recommendations and genuine joining in celebrating my birthday make the experience top notch. The rest of the staff was also very friendly and the food was absolutely incredible. We sat on the patio which made the experience that much better. We will be back!

    We have had the rustic spoon on our list to try for while. Decided on a birthday dinner. 100% the best decision we made. Had a reservation seated promptly. Excellent service staff from hostess to waiter to the chef asking if we liked our dessert and it was something new they were trying. We had the firecracker shrimp and the risotto for apps. We had the cajun Gnocchi to share. The food was presented beautifully. The layered seasonings was also hit with me and my partner. We are both serious foodies . Just excellent all around can't wait to come back.
