    This restaurant never disappoints! From the greeters at the front door, the servers and the Manager/Owner stopping by, it’s a great experience. This time, one of our guests had never dined here before and was impressed with the quality, the temperature and plate presentation. We highly recommend this local restaurant with a unique spin on classic family recipes to cutting edge cuisine and cocktails.

    Highly recommend as every dish I’ve had is amazing. This time I had the ultimate comfort meatloaf and it was so moist and I loved the seasonings. I think they must grind the locally sourced beef and pork with seasonings. If I had the recipe I’d make that my go to!! Peanut butter pie was creamy and oh so good with all the chocolate crumbles too. Wait staff and bartender were super sweet and attentive. Feels like a neighborhood fav!

    Sunday Brunch! Delicious.....as always...... one had a huge omelet, one had fluffy pancakes, one had the Rustic Burger and one had a salmon salad. ALL WERE GREAT! We had a variety of foods at our table and everything was perfect. That is hard to do in most restaurants, but Rustic Spoon has mastered it. We love coming here for meals and it's always a favorite when we have guests, because we can count on them being served a wonderful dish! Thanks Rustic Spoon! :-)

    First time here and will definitely be back! I want to try the whole menu, everything we ordered was so yummy and everyone else’s food around us looked really great too! We went for Valentine’s Dinner and got the calamari to start, then the potato crusted salmon and the seafood pasta. All very tasty!

    My wife and I went for Valentines Day. The restaurant was rocking. But we were seated right away, thankfully we made a reservation on Open Table. Service was great. Food and drinks took a little longer than usual, but it was Valentines Day and we weren't in a rush anyway. The oysters rockafeller special was fantastic. As was the rock fish. Meredith, our server was attentive and friendly. We truly love everything we ordered. The owners or managers were present and made it a point to visit every table. You could see the pride they take in their restaurant (and rightfully so). We can't wait to go back.

    We were greeted immediately upon entering the restaurant. Our server was enthusiastic and friendly. Her drink and food suggestions were on spot. There were four of us and each of our entrees were good - received hot, tasted good and we all took food home.
