We had a group of 6 - the staff was very attentive. We were waiting for our party all to get there and the staff was very accommodating, they took us to our table, we ordered drinks and talked the staff kept checking on us and as our group arrived they got them a drink and did not rush us at all. They offer a nice variety of choices appetizers and main plates - The food was very tasty and we could talk, no crazy loud music and it was great not to be rushed! A very nice and relaxing experience!

Excellent choice for a special occasion or a date night. The atmosphere & decor catches your eye & the warm & friendly staff made for a very enjoyable experience....but, the food was outstanding! Presentation & flavor were top notch & portions very generous. We will absolutely dine here again, in fact, already making plans to make reservations for the cooking show.

It was our 28th anniversary dinner. We were seated promptly, as soon as we were seated, we were greeted by an extremely pleasant waitress. The service was wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious, without a doubt, one of our favorite places to eat out. Thanks Rustic Kitchen !

Very nice but very loud. Christmas music was blaring, making it difficult to converse with each other at the table.

Everything but the noise level and our service was great. I cannot say enough about how good the food is...the sangrias are the best too...Leah,,our server was dismissive, not very polite, and seemed to act the polar opposite when waiting on the noisy table of 13 right across from us...we stopped talking after the food came because even though we were right next to,each other, we couldnt hear each other. We told the manager about our server who we saw a whopping 4 times total (seating, drinks, order, check) nothing in between or after. The table was told to,calm,down,but they did not..then sat there for over an hour after the check was brought out but wouldnt leave...so we got done, flagged down another waitress to pay our bill and got out of there....i never complain about rustic kitchen, i love it, but this prompted a response
