Great atmosphere for enjoying time with friends. Waitress was awesome but was leaving the area the next day. Five of us enjoyed the evening, food and drinks. Will be back

We had a wonderful seat at the bar and enjoyed a meal with a couple of beers. It was both delicious and delightful.

A must go to restaurant when we come to Florida every winter. Food is served hot and seasoned perfectly. Sitting overlooking the marina, having a cocktail, appetizer, entree makes for a great evening.

This restaurant is such a hidden gem. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the octopus and pork belly, calamari, corvina, and lamb shank and all were amazing with a nice middle Eastern flare to it.
Came to try because of the privileged intracoastal location. If you are looking for a culinary treat, I wouldn’t recommend visiting. Very few things I would have ordered from the menu and ended up with a Cesar Salad and the whole fried snapper in chili sauce because it felt like a safe choice. Fish was not fresh and the combination of flavors made it taste weird. Fish was accompanied with a rice that was dry and tasteless like if it had been reheated several times, but our server was so nice and friendly that we just decided not to send back the food and say nothing. The outside area is great if you want to enjoy the water view and a drink, but definitely would not recommend for dining.

Since it was our first time here we did the riverside table which came with two complimentary drinks. We started with the grouper bites which were amazing and then had the blackened fish tacos. I’ve never had fish tacos and couldn’t be more impressed with how delicious they were. We ended with a slice of cheesecake that was so rich and creamy and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend eating here. Our bill was around $70 for two, but our drinks were comped so I would have expected it to be closer to $100

The appetizer was very good, Tuna nachos. For the main course swordfish and lamb shank. The swordfish was very thin (cold) and small (dry) and a few pieces of broccolini and small portion of rice. The lamb shank was good but the temperature could have been hotter. RH portions seem to be getting smaller and attention to detail (temperature of food) not being followed. To top it off it is pricey. It was very busy last night and maybe it was that but our server was quick getting order in and out so I'm not sure what the issue is.
The food was the star........I almost never rate 5 stars but, this was it! I had the octopus and pork belly and the corvina Portions are ample .....everything was beautifully fresh and so well cooked The setting was outdoors on the deck in fabulous weather with a lovely sunset and live music......this just added to a great experience Our waitress was attentive and always accessible........I very pleasant dining adventure

Beautiful outdoor tables are readily available on the edge of the intracoastal. Food dishes especially fish were delicious with attentive service. Prices were moderate. A real find

We have dined here over the course of several years and several owners. It's not that we ever had a bad experience it was previously good, but just good.But last night, I had what was arguably the best lamb shank prep, ever, on the planet, anywhere. My wife's salad was fantastic- beautiful, fresh, bountiful. Service was A++, Greeting and hospitality A++, Bar A++, prices totally reasonable.I'm seriously hoping that current ownership is able to stick around. I travel to SE FL often, and Rusty Hook will now be a regular stop. ❤️
