Rustic Kitchen has been our favorite neighborhood restaurant since they opened nine years ago. The food has always been excellent, and owners John (sommelier) and Noelle (chef), and their staff, have made it a warm, welcoming place. Unfortunately, as you can tell from the way this is written, they are closing the restaurant as of January 4, 2025. We will miss them and Rustic Kitchen very much.

Our latest visit was a huge disappointment. The dinner came out very quickly even before we got our drinks. One entree (the branzino) never came until we finally asked for it. The one appetizer that we ordered was never served. The Brussel sprouts were undercooked. The short ribs w/polenta and branzino were flavorless and underwhelming. We’ve been to the restaurant a few times and always enjoyed the meals. This time was a real miss!!! I sure hope this was an off night for the restaurant. Not sure we’ll be back. 👎

Tuna Tartare was fabulous. It came with taro choose which would have been enough but I ordered baguette. I was thinking it would be a crunchy French baguette but it wasn’t. Not great. Wine selections are vast and interesting. I had a lovely glass of Moschofilero. Yummy.
