    We had a great time! The food was excellent and the service was great too! We were looking for a place to eat brunch where we could book ahead since we have little ones and it was great we were able to get in no problem and get seated and served right away.

    They just opened this location up not too long ago. Browsed through their menu online and made reservations. We had Tanya as our server and she was amazing! I had the soft shell crab Benedict and a strawberry sorbet mimosa, both were sooooo good. I’ll definitely be back. If you’re planning on going for brunch, do make a reservation because this place does get packed.

    Our first experience at the Rustic Spoon was exceptional! The new look of the restaurant is perfect, the service and attention to detail were appreciated and the food was delicious. Even better, they take reservations! We never do brunch on Sunday's because most places don't take reservations and you have to wait 45 mins to an hour before you're seated. This will be our new go to spot, and I look forward to date night on Friday or Saturday when they open for dinner! Kudos to the ownership team on bringing a new locals' favorite to Red Mill!

    The server, Jamie was excellent . She gave good advice about the food. She was very attentive. The restaurant is somewhat noisy. Hopefully the kitchen will be able to deliver the entrees in a more timely manner. The food was very good. I had the crab benedict this time.

    We had reservations and were told upon arrival that they did not have an available table but we could sit at the bar. I declined stating we made a reservation and would wait for the table we reserved. Thankfully it didn’t take long and we were seated. If someone reserved a table don’t try to seat them at the bar instead. Just assure them that their table is being prepared. Upon ordering cocktails we were told they were out of a specific liquor, then when we began to order food the waitress had to come back twice to tell us they were out of the appetizer we ordered and then the entree that I ordered as well. Disappointed! Not sure if it is just the growing pains of this location or what because we have been to the location on pleasure house many times and we love it.

    we are so happy to have rustic spoon as a new addition to our community! we went for sunday brunch (my husband, 8 year old and myself) the food was AMAZING, I had the shrimp and grits, hubby had the hash and son had the french toast! I have never seen my child clean a plate quicker! they were pretty busy which i was so happy to see but got us in and seated quickly! no wait! Jamie our server was the best and went out of her way to have a couple laughs with our son, safe to say it’s now his favorite restaurant to eat out at! definitely check it out, you will not be disappointed!

    Food is solid. Will make a fine addition to the area. Went for brunch and lunch. I will go back. Not a lot of options for vegan/vegetarian/pescatarian but the chef will accommodate. Looking forward to my upcoming dinner date and their menu selections.They put a lot of thought into the opening and it shows.

    Happy to have more dining options nearby and Rustic Spoon Red Mill did not disappoint. We were early for our reservation and were almost seated immediately. We both ordered ice teas. Drink menu looked amazing and next time I’ll def order a mango mimosa- Word on the street is that they’re absolutely a must! Didn’t find this out until afterwards. I ordered a lunch special of crispy brussel sprouts and an appetizer of the firecracker shrimp. Both items were delicious and perfect portion size (I even took the brussel sprouts home as I couldn’t finish it.) Waitress was very attentive, polite and efficient. My lunch date ordered the crab eggs Benedict and she also enjoyed her meal. Will def be back! Just an FYI… Parking is a beast night now in that lot but Petco is relocating, so it’ll be better after they move.

    Great atmosphere, service and food. Service was quick and attentive. It was a comfortable environment too. The manager asked how we enjoyed everything so far and I commented that it would be nice to offer half and half instead of Coffee-Mate which just isn't the same. I was thinking it was just a suggestion but a couple of minutes later he arrived back at the table with a small bottle of half and half. i was so impressed. We will definitely be back.

    Excellent restaurant and great menu. We were very impressed that it was so new because the service was great! Well staffed and well trained. We enjoyed our bacon bourbon filets. The bar is great with three tvs for sports to keep the environment lively. We look forward to getting back. You will enjoy this!

    Everything was outstanding! We had corn chowder and bang bang shrimp for appetizers. My husband had the meatloaf and said it was the best meatloaf he’s ever had. Garlic mashers could have had a little more flavor. I had the blackened salmon with corn and Parmesan risotto. I probably would not have gotten the corn chowder had I known the seasonal veg was corn but it was still delicious. Risotto also needed a little more flavor. Our server was incredible; perfect amount of attentiveness. Great ambiance and cannot wait to go again!

    Fabulous meals. I had the Cajun dish my husband had the Bourbon filet. Both were excellent. Amazing flavors on mine and my husband was very pleased. Said it was the best filet in the area. Topped it off with a Strawberry cake that was delicious baked by ones of the owners mothers. Great addition to Red Mill dining. Just wow.

    The Rustic Spoon is great this is the second location and I Was very happy to see that the taste and service was identical to the original one. The restaurant was very well done, not overly crowded with tables and chairs. Nick and the other owners were very attentive to every table, something you don’t see anymore at restaurants.

    Congratulations on your grand opening! Our table ordered two caesar salads, a house salad, the rustic burger, blackened salmon, and the potato encrusted salmon. They accommodated my dairy and gluten allergy. Thank you! Looking forward to many more visits!
