Dined on Memorial Day weekend 2025 Sunday evening. Our server Julie was very pleasant, kind, attentive, friendly and professional. She was hustling every moment! Despite having to take care of several tables she never lost her focus and continued to offer excellent service. You could immediately tell that she enjoyed her job and it showed! If ALL servers in ALL restaurants could be just like her it would be a perfect world! The crusted calamari piccata appetizer was excellent. The Cesar Salad was executed nicely. My wife had the mushroom stuffed tortellini and she did not like the taste. I sampled one of her tortellini’s and I did not like it either. It had an “off” taste to it but it could be that it just wasn’t to our liking. Our server removed it from our bill which was appreciated. Our server apologized and asked if there was anything else that she could get for her and my wife decided that her burrata appetizer and the bread that was served was enough for her this evening. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly medium rare and it was tender. Our desserts were delicious. I had the pineapple upside down cake and my wife had the sticky toffee pudding. This is our second visit to Rusty’s and it certainly will not be our last. I am a retired executive chef with over thirty years in restaurant and FOH hotel restaurant management. If only I could have had the pleasure of hiring a server as competent as Julie who took care of us on this Sunday evening. A quick word of advice to Rusty’s food & beverage manager. DO NOT Julie go anywhere! Do whatever it takes to keep her happy and a key member of your service staff. Servers like her are a rare find!

unfortunately the food was poorly prepared and so over seasoned that it was inedible.

The website for the restaurant was totally misleading in relation to the menu at the restaurant. The two did not match up. Not enough selection of choices in the restaurant. Food was a little salty and somewhat dry.

Beautiful 3 course Easter meal. I went with a party of 9 and the meal was incredible. I had shrimp cocktail, prime rib with mashed potatoes and spinach and ended with key line cheesecake. I'm so full. It was all perfect. Service was great. Highly recommended for Easter or anytime.

The only issue with Rusty's is that there is no view. The food was great and Emily did a great job as our server.
