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.

This was a make up to our not so great Valentine's Day experience and WOW, they definitely delivered this time. Thank you, Maria, Jason, Emily and Chef Artley for the personalized, fun and delicious experience! Definitely would make the trip again for a special occasion!

Valentines menu was not ideal. My wife and I had a reservation for 9. We arrived a little early to be seated 20 mins after the reservation. Our server did not see us for at least 30 mins. The server was nice but not very attentive. No drinks offered. Then the food. The menu was a very limited menu 3 course menu. That's fine but the portions were very small. The steak was decent I would say 2.5/5. Crab cakes were too salty. Overall would not recommend on Valentine's Day. Would probably not return again. Food very pricey for what it was.

I must start with saying we had a selection and chose Rusty's Bistro, drove an HOUR to get there, had reservations and when we arrived were told they were behind and had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. Every lady that was seated got a rose, except me, no biggie, but be consistency was absurd. Sat down, saw the terrible menu selection that consisted of only 4 dishes to choose from, 3 which were seafood and only one steak option which was for 2, so my poor husband got stuck with steak as I don't eat seafood, not to mention we both had to settle on temperature as we both like completely opposite temps. The sides were non-negotiate and again, something I do not eat and am allergic to (mushrooms). It took the waitress 30 minutes to bring our drink order and then another 20 minutes before our food order was taken. From that point it took 30 minutes to get our bowl of salad and bread that should have been at the table when we sat down. Our main course took a good hour to come out and lacked flavor. I must mention during that entire time we waited our waitress NEVER checked on us or our empty drinks. Food was dropped off by someone else, who didn't even bother to ask if we needed something else or if the temp looked ok, etc. She also walked by several times after we got our food and didn't bother to stop and ask about our meal also. When the dessert came, she literally was moving so fast she dropped the plates and walked off, again, didn't ask how things were or if we needed anything. I must mention they ran out of what dessert my husband originally ordered and the remaining options were not of his desire. Finally when she came by to ask how dessert was, we asked for our check as we were and had been beyond ready to leave. Lastly, Managers were also checking on all tables service, except ours. The most disappointing experience I have ever had in my life, literally, my life and $180 for 2 people on such crap service and food is a true disgrace! Terrible!!

I had looked on the website menu and it was different when I sat down to order. I was disappointed in that respect, because they did not have the items that I wanted. The food that I settled on was good. The wait staff was very friendly and efficient.

Food was amazing! Staff was perfect and hats off to Jason Stiger who was the most professional manager I've ever met. I owned a restaurant before so I'm picky. I would highly recommend Rustys at Sheraton Sand Key. Walter our server extremely professional. Highly recommend Tim Shellabarger

Amazing spot to just relax and have y great meal, it's clean, relaxing, friendly, great food and service. Ask for Melissa T she was great. Helped me with picking my items. I had the shrimp stew and the grouper sandwich. Loved my food, spent about $36.00. Worth every penny.

Went here with my family. and the food was not very good . Ordered the rib eye steak and for the price thumbs down!! Service was good food terrible everything we got down to the bread.

Made a reservation at 7:30p for 2. Went to check in and they did not have the reservation and they said they could not accommodate 2 people that night. However many tables open. The Asian lady host was very rude and incompetent. I would rather Uber eats or door dash than dine there. Go across street to Columbia Restauran

We stayed at the hotel over a weekend and didn't want to go off property, it was just a staycation, so we ate in Rusty's, whereas the food was very good, our server not so much, Like most places I'm guessing they are understaffed and even though we can in with very little other customers in the restaurant our service seems to have disappeared several times. Would most likely only go back if we stayed in the hotel.

Everything was absolutely perfect, our server was very welcoming, he gave us good suggestions. Recommend the steak and it was delicious. Also the corn tortellinis were so delicious, it's was a small portion but I shared my steak with my husband and it was perfect. The desert was to die for. We had the Crème Brûlée and it was just perfect.
