The greenhouse is a great eating area and they are very kid friendly with coloring books and crayons. The food is to notch with high quality vegetarian options too.

The food is delicious. Had the Korean Fish Soup and my wife had the Mozzarella BLT. We are going back to sample more of the variety on the menu. The remodeled dining area and sun room look very nice and the sun blocking decorations really make it comfortable. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Excellent food, service and cocktails. Expansive menu with choices for all. The lobster rangoons are delicious, short ribs are excellent and they make a great chicken sandwich. Highly recommend.

Tasty new food, with a wide variety on the menu. Geared up for foodie place more than traditional bar. They’ve refreshed the decor, both inside the bar and in the sun room, and the kitchen handled full tables quite well.

Now open under new management and really good! The new owners have done a great job completely revamping the building and the menu. The menu has lot's of interesting choices and is fairly priced. Great play list. Great vibe.

Went there for the first time last night (07-05-2024) waitress demanded we open up a tab, said that she had to have my debit card in order to serve us drinks. We were there for maybe a little over an hour, went to close the tab, intending to pay cash because I knew I didn’t have enough on my card. Instead of asking us if we wanted to pay with the card or cash (even though we had told her we were paying in cash when we sat down) and tried charging my card three times, claiming it didn’t go through, so she handed me my card back and we paid cash like we had originally planned on. Got home went to bed, checked my account this morning to be over drafted and having a charge from Rustic Cafe. I’ve emailed and called and haven’t received and answer from anyone that owns the place or works there.

Walked in and the owner was room was silent and the owner immediately asked what do we want, asked for a menu and was told no food was sold since January 1st but the place has no indicator of that on website. No atmosphere and no food and no service, immediately turned out. You would think a cafe that brands itself as a gastropub and appears in food searches would serve uh you know food. 0 stars and wouldn’t recommend unless you want a dive bar.

The rustic always has incredible food, and the servers are super friendly and kind. The atmosphere is super laid-back. . The food is a little overpriced, but I don’t mind spending it since it’s really delicious.
