    It was not as good as it was before. The rack of lamb was burnt outside and undercooked inside, the New York stake was fatty and the dish of the day (salmon) was almost raw. Mind you, we all ordered our meat and fish cooked medium-well done. We did not complain, but, honestly, we brought some friends there to impress them and it gave them a wrong impression…

    Rustic is one of the most beautiful and elegant restaurants I’ve ever experienced. We had lunch on the outside terrace overlooking the vineyards and it was just incredible. So relaxing and peaceful. A perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. We loved everything about it and will definitely return.

    Quite possibly the worst pasta carbonara we’ve ever eaten. Basically super greasy large chunks of pork belly over not well sauced marginal pasta. Their Caesar salad was good, the Sophia pizza just OK. The setting was great, the views exceptional, the food a real disappointment.

    The constant and brutal mosquito attacks out of the patio may not be the fault of the restaurant, but it was just so unpleasant, everyone outside was nearly laughing at how bad it was. But that’s not the main issue. The $42 New York strip steak was such low quality, I could barely eat any of it. My wife has the Special - the grilled octopus, but even that was rubbery and only about 25% of it was edible. There was food on the floor of the restaurant inside, and the outdoor patio wasn’t swept or kept. The gelato and olive oil cake for dessert was good. Our server was so nice and felt bad, so he recommended another place in town if we were still hungry. If you are a Francis Ford Coppola fan, the decor and popularity of the place for movie fans is good. The pictures overlooking the vineyards was amazing. Just don’t go for the food or wine.

    This was my fourth or fifth time visiting the restaurant however I had not been since the change of ownership in 2021. The previous occasions were a great experience however I can't say the same for this visit. The menu items had changed and one in particular "Francis' favorite french fries" was no longer an option. I ordered the linguine with clams which had rubbery clams and a disappointing presentation. WAY overpriced for basically a bowl of spaghetti. With that said my guest had the Chicken Picatta which was delicious! Very tender and good flavor. Our service person was pleasant but new so it took quite awhile to receive our order. We asked to be moved outside since it was freezing inside the restaurant. It appeared the vineyard was not as well maintained as it used to be (weeds everywhere) however the roses were lovely. I hope this was an off day and not indicative of how the restaurant is now managed.

    Our waitress went above and beyond making our dining experience top rated. She was helpful, attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu. We most definitely be coming back. My only concern is when I received the confirmation text, there was a link to view your menu. However it was not current, which was a bit of a disappointment

    We loved it so much and will come back, but we really hope we don’t get the same waiter. Service was not great from him, unless that’s what the overall service is like. Rarely checked on our table, had to flag him down for everything and just overall seemed displeased he had to serve us. Rest of the staff seemed very pleasant tho.

    We ordered a caesar salad and the lamb - we shared both. The caesar salad with anchovies was the highlight, but the lamb did not meet our expectations given prior reviews of Rustic, on OT. We both felt like the lamb was under seasoned - with that, it was a miss for us. Our server did a great job given her table load. We found the restaurant, bar, and tasting area all very interesting given the various film props, historical pieces, etc.. We are glad we stopped by for lunch, but for us, there is no reason to come back.

    Your rating system strangely doesn’t allow one, two or three star ratings initially. The Hmmm. Any way, we arrived on time, and I was shocked at the level of food mess on their beautiful wood floors under tables. As if a toddler convention had just left. The tables were set beautifully above the mess, and no way did the staff not see this. The New York Steak ($42) was poor quality. The lasagna presentation reminded me of a frozen dinner, although our friend said it was tasty. Large group of twenty somethings in Hawaiian shirts drunk and yelling like it’s a pub, staff does nothing. Cocktail (upgraded to Ketel One) had no flavor of vodka, very watery. The restaurant emptied, and for 20 minutes, till we left, nobody bussed the dirty tables. Management? Don’t think any was there. We’ve come to Rustic since they opened, we are locals. Beautiful space but won’t be going back after this.
