What Caroline Zemlak doesn't like about Rustic Tavern:
The ambience was decent and the staff was good. Other than that, I can't say anything positive about this place. Our meals were lukewarm, mixed and some of the sides had no taste at all. While they have a bar and cocktails of their own, if you ask for something that is not on the menu, you probably won't get it. And yes, unfortunately, even the cocktail drinks we ordered tasted awful. Bad bar staff. It also took them... View all feedback. What Enjoyingthefood likes about Rustic Tavern:
Standard upscale American cuisine like burgers, salmon, and fettuccine carbonara. All well presented and tasty. Service was the highlight-friendly and prompt. Place has a little parking which is a big plus and an outdoor patio blocked off nicely from the sidewalk. View all feedback.

The Rustic Tavern offers a diverse dining experience, with mixed reviews on the food and service. Some diners enjoyed perfectly cooked dishes such as blackened salmon and the Rustic Tavern burger, along with delicious desserts like homemade mint chip ice cream and crème brule. Service was praised by some for being excellent and quick, while others experienced long wait times for food and lukewarm, tasteless meals. The ambience was described as warm and inviting, with outdoor seating and a free parking lot. Despite some mixed opinions, the restaurant seems to have a loyal following of customers who enjoy the large sandwiches and attentive service, making it a popular spot for gatherings with friends.
