    the food was super yummy and the service was top notch. We found this by following an instagram personality and it was perfect. We had the recommendation from our server for the Carnita Hash and an huge omelet- sooo delish! Also, the mushroom toast and the knuckle bisquits. My husband had a cucumber bloody mary and said it was perfectly made! If we come back to the area, we would definetly come back!

    Rustic spoon is one of my favorite brunch places. I get the steak and eggs and it is so perfect. Normally I get their sorbet mimosas as well! Such a fun and cute atmosphere and the nicest staff ever.

    The food is always good. The server we had was okay. She seemed to have too many tables and didn’t seem to be quite adept at getting a routine down with her guests. We sat for 20 minutes before we were able to order our food. When she came to us, she asked if we were okay. We hadn’t ordered. So we did, and then that took a while. I know kitchens get backed up, but the service could have been better. We seemed to be forgotten on multiple occasions during our time there. I’ve been a server, so I do understand, but maybe starting with a weekday schedule before taking a weekend shift would be better? Great food, though.

    The food was really good. A little bit pricey, but delish. The drinks were very good and pretty strong. It was very loud and I often felt like I was shouting to be heard. I also wish they had a little bit more on the menu as well. Service was very quick as well.

    We randomly chose Rustic Spoon and it was such a wonderful experience. Clams appetizer was phenomenal. We had Beef stroganoff - not the traditional and great; also had Carnitas Hash and also great. Desert of Lemon/blueberry bread pudding was huge and tasty, peanut butter pie outstanding. Service was great - our waiter was fantastic but it was also nice to see the hostess working so hard, constantly cleaning, touching up. It appeared to be a gret team. Way to go, all!

    Worth the trip. The menu has a little of everything so there is little chance that you guest will go away hungry. Based on what we ate, the execution is also very good. The wine is a little pricey for the quality but not crazy. The wine selection could be as imaginative as the food menu.

    Beautiful weather for a patio meal. String lighting was a great addition to the ambiance. Fried green tomatoes set the stage well. Great, hearty meals all around. Crème brûlée and strawberry cake for desert were delightful.

    Unfortunately the food was not up to the usual standard. My egg was not cooked. My husbands steak was raw. The salad starter was brought out within a couple of minutes of the main course and we were on a high top so no room for four plates, forfeited the salads to make room. I do have to acknowledge the owner who did come up and apologize - however by the time my husbands steak was brought out the second time (and was excellent by the way) I was done with mine so kind of ruined the evening.

    The food and service were great! The piped in music , especially at 8:30 am, was extremely loud which made everyone talk loud and it was very uncomfortable. As much as we enjoyed the food my first in low as to not return. The manager must have picked up on my reaction to the noise level and they turned down the music , hence people didn’t talk as loud and we had a very enjoyable meal.

    Food was amazing. Service was terrific. New server Logan (2day on job) was terrific and went out of his way to verify with chef and the cooking process to ensure one of our parties food allergy was not going to be jeopardized. End result, Logan went out of his way for customer service and Rustic Spoon is lucky to have this young man on the team - he has a bright future in hospitality.
