Rust!! The absolute best cocktails we have ever had! Thank you Rick? Im horrible with names but we had an incredible time sitting at the bar. The burger and arctic char were phenomenal. And those cocktail! So perfectly balanced. Thank you for such an amazing night.

Went for Valentine’s Day and the food was incredible. I got the braised beef and my girlfriend got the steak frites. Lots of flavour, cooked well.

Honest and genuine review. Made a reservation for 7:00pm on a Saturday evening. Got in and they said the table isn't ready but have a seat at the bar. Got our table at 7:15, slightly annoyed but things happen. The waitress was inattentive, did not refill our drinks or check on us. The food is pretty good. We got the brie appetizer and it is a very undersized portion of brie with more pastry than cheese. I'd say overall it's not a bad place but this is certainly no 5-star restaurant or service. It's a pretty decent place for a pint and a bite but don't expect world class food or service. May return some time but many other better places in Burlington.

The food here was creative and tasty. The bison burger was quite dry, so I wouldn't recommend that, but everything else my table of five ate was tasty.The service was lovely! Very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is loud, and the acoustics make it super echoey, so it's more of a group of friends vibe, as opposed to a quiet date spot.Overall, I'd visit again (but get the chicken and waffles instead of the burger).

We loved dining at Rust Bistrobar, an intimate and casual dining destination in Burlington.The food is exceptional. From unique options like bison burgers to classic favorites like steak frites, the menu delivers a delightful culinary experience. I tried the Bison burger and it was delicious. The side of brussel sprouts was huge! A meal in itself. Our party also ordered the Mushroom Risotto and Tagliatelle-both were delicious. And the drinks, top notch! I ordered the Negroni that came with foamed egg white… very good and unique.One of the standout features is their open kitchen. Watching the skilled chefs in action adds an exciting element to the dining experience. It’s like having a front-row seat to culinary magic! They have a bar and long farmhouse tables… great for groups.The service and staff are friendly and attentive, going the extra mile to ensure guests have a memorable time.Nestled in a strip mall, in northern Burlington, a hidden gem, that you must try. Highly recommended. It was our first time and we will definitely be back.Vegetarian options: Many options available.Parking: Tons of parking as this is located in a strip mall.

Such a great place for dinner. Great selection of cocktails and good local wines on the menu. The Korean cauliflower was amazing - easily shareable. Tuna poke with kiwis sounds weird but was an amazing combo. All our food was good - ended with the cheesecake. An absolute must have! Will be returning for sure.

This is a little hidden gem as far as menu goes. I've been a few times for both brunch and dinner, and the food never disappoints! The staff is also very lovely. It's a must-try!

Great staff, great atmosphere and the food here is on another level! We tried the Crostone, Beet Salad and Coq Au Vin and they were absolutely perfect! Apple cider margharita is also highly recommended.

The restaurant itself was very nice but it lacked in service. The hostess was very friendly but it took a while for our waitress to come around to get our drink orders. And then took about 35-40 minutes for the food to come out, two of our dishes were lukewarm while the other was hot. The food was alright, nothing too special. We did get checked on as soon as we got our meal but then our waitress left halfway through the meal without closing out or telling us she was leaving. So we sat again for another 45 minutes before someone came over and asked us if we were okay. Not overly satisfied with the service we received, probably won't be going back.
