Love this place. We visit Solana Beach a few times a year and eat here. The food is really good as well as the service! I wish I had taken a picture but they did a beautiful job of decorating for our 250th Anniversary. Very patriotic! That made me want to go there! Sadly, didn't see enough of that on display. Kudos to Rustic Root! First Class all the way! They make a killer lemon drop martini!
Beautiful food, cold beers, lovely setting outside, relaxed vibe with great service.
Love the vibe! Great happy hour for beers! Rob, Roxanne and Jasmine are so kind and cool! The manager Rodrigo knows his stuff! Bring back the $5 burger!
