Went for dinner and the food was really impressive. The hostess was not very friendly. We came early and she seemed put off. Of course you have to have the Drunken Clams, it is probably one of the most unique dishes I've had in Anchorage. The only problem was that the place was not clean. The tables were sticky, the railing was dusty and really dirty, the bathroom was a mess, this could bug some people, a good deep cleaning would help. Yes I would return and eat here again

The vibe is marketed for more of a younger crowd. Food selection was not the best, but the taste was on point. This should be an Alaskan staple.

It's loud, it's tight, it's busy, but the food is worth all of it. Friendly and polite staff. Cool vibe to the atmosphere, just loud. Wonderful meal.

I do not want to support this business, now knowing that they take 60 % of the servers tips to help pay the rest of their staff. Doesn’t seem like people want to do a good job for 30 % of their tips. Will go elsewhere in the meantime, thanks.

What a cool place with a fireplace upstairs. The food is an experience. It all looks as great as it tastes with surprisingly interesting flavors!

Halibut special was way overdone and instead of making it right, or offering to make it right by taking it off the bill they brought us another one that was equally poorly done and only half the size.  we said we did not want a second one, but they brought one anyway

The food was outstanding, but the seating was horrible. Small table, no tablecloths, very noisy from the downstairs, and I had a reservation, yet I was seated near a high traffic area near the waitress service station and the stairs. Very uncomfortable. The food, the service, and professionalism, deserves a much better place to provide meals for the patrons... OH and Parking was awful. Maybe my critique is why it is called Rustic.
I made some adjustments to my order and everything came out perfectly. I was happy with the relaxing atmosphere to talk with friends. Highly recommend:)

My husband and I spent our 14th Anniversary dinner at this amazing place. It was our first time too! They personalized our menus with our names and reason for celebration. We absolutely loved our experience and will dine here again (:

Rustic Goat was an excellent experience. The food was delicious, the local beer list was nicely put together, and the staff were so warm and welcoming. My husband and I shared the Caeser salad, scallops, airline chicken, and tiramisu and all of this filled us to the brim and left us with happy tummies. It was my birthday dinner and the staff all made me feel special as well. Would highly recommend this place for dinner.

The view, the aesthetic, the food, the drinks, the staff, everything is fantastic at this place! Ive been here 4 times so far and each time ive accidentally stayed till they closed because its so easy to be comfortable and lose track of time.
