Mandy, our waitress, was excellent, very attentive. Although we didn't order much ( we had a late lunch) she was very pleasant. This time, my favorite dish, Roasted Brussels Sprouts was perfect! Will definitely go again. Sorry, didn't take any pictures.

I was ‘ono' for a Ruscello's Burger and enjoyed the Burger and all the accompaniments very much! Service was great! Mandy was my server and she provided the great service! Also, Raven seated me and was welcoming which I appreciated! Looking forward to my next visit to Ruscello ...

The service and the food are always top notch. It's a contemporary eatery so it's noisy. They pipe in a drum beat which keeps the tempo moving. I assume it is designed to keep people eating at a pace. You definitely won't fall asleep, the drumbeat never changes. Not sure it's that helpful but since it's not really music it's hard to like. I think it shaved off some of my stars. The staff is truly amiable and they obviously have an organized kitchen. You don't wait for anything. It's a good plate of food and it's worth it so we are regulars.

Been here a handful of times. Food is always good! Love the quality and taste of everything Ive had here. Drinks are just as yummy! Service is always friendly and attentive the moment you arrive.

The overall experience was not great but not really bad either. The food ( both my friend and I had the burger) was pretty tasty but the service left something to be desired. I ordered coffee which was tepid. I asked for no aioli on my burger and it came with aioli and the fries were cold. Our waitperson did not come back to check on us so I had to flag down someone else who took the burger back. Although our original waitperson passed by several times he never asked why I didn't have my meal although it had been served some time ago. I don't know if he ever realized that he failed to tell the food preparers to leave out the aioli or alternatively that the food preparers made the mistake. When it came back, everything was fine. The fries were warmer and the burger did not have aioli on it. I ordered it medium rare but both times it was medium. That didn't bother me, though, because the burger was good and was not dry. I like the atmosphere of the restaurant and the noise level was good. My friend and I had no trouble conversing. It's been a long time since I've dined at Ruscello. Several of my past visits had similar problems with service. I was hoping things had improved, but it seems not.

Tran was our waitress and she was lovely as always. Our food for our date night was so yummy! And we got to sit at a window table that I had requested and got to watch a beautiful sunset. Ruscello's is my favorite place to dine. It has become my comfort place where I always know will leave with a full tummy and heart. 🥹🙏🏻❣️

Our favorite waiter was serving us, so never had to ask for refills on our drinks or the chopsticks for the salad.

I first want to mention that our server, Tracy, was exceptional.  the signature chicken meatballs and penne was as good as ever. And the little gem Caesar also consistently excellent. All staff members were attentive, and friendly. It is always a pleasure to come to this venue bringing friends who haven't experienced it, and knowing that the experience will be a positive one.

Excellence in all phases. Also, the ever-changing menu never ceases to delight. We'll be back!
Julie
The food and service is always outstanding. The noise level was pretty high but that could be due to our seating next to windows.
We ordered the mushroom pizza, ravioli, cilantro salad, brussels sprouts and burger. All were delicious. Excellent service!
Thomas
Charisa has always been an excellent server - professional, caring , fast , service with a smile so we get her recommendations all the time. Our guests lived the food. Except for the calamari - it was soggy
Charlene
Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We both had the Honey Dijon Salad - one with Salmon and the other with Crispy Panko Chicken; both were delicious and filling. Tran, our server, provided excellent service - you are fortunate to have her as your employee. Also, the view of the ocean was perfect!

OpenTable is always good at asking if there is any special event we are celebrating when making the reservation. I notated that this lunch was to celebrate a colleages birthday. While most restaurants take note of this and offer something small to commemerate the occassion, this restaurant did not. The overall experience was still good and food was great however I just wished that more attention would be made to the actual reservation. If you are celebrating a birthday, I would recommend that you make it known to the restaurant when you arrive or you would end up in the same boat as I was.
