Was Mike's Nomadic Travels at Rustico a mag?
Rustico has become one of our favorite places in Oak Park. Delicious food and terrific service. However, why does OpenTable ask if you’re celebrating an event—-birthday, anniversary, etc.? We celebrated our anniversary (25 years) during this evening. If OpenTable isn’t going to let the restaurant know, what’s the point of asking on the app? View all feedback.
What Tyrese Haley dislikes about Rustico:
Had A horrible experience overall. The waiter persistently would come for food orders, even though we mentioned we wanted to have a drink before we think about dinner. The fish was under cooked and I pointed it out to the waiter. He didn't do much about it, billed me for it and when asked he said he will give a credit for next time, but kept avoiding me for the next 15 mins. I didn't want to waste anymore time in thi...

Their new space is really beautiful and our food was good nothing special, but totally serviceable. We ordered caprese salad and I was surprised to see it served with picked tomatoes rather than fresh. I found the service underwhelming at our last visit it somehow felt rushed but also very slow. When we arrived, our table was covered in crumbs, which the host brushed off onto the floor which his hand. This resulted in the seats also getting covered in crumbs, so we had to clean those up too. Two of us ordered drinks a cocktail and a wine midway through the dinner the cocktail drinker asked a busboy about ordering a beer; he said he'd get the waiter, but then a while later the waiter just showed up with another of the same cocktail AND another serving of wine which he just started pouring. Nothing egregious, but just enough that it didn't feel like a relaxing night out.
We just left and I was disappointed at the service we received. We didn't get offered desert, my boyfriend didn't get aaked if he wanted another drink, we had to ask for bread which came to our table after the main course. Plus the table next to us had their food that they were taking home taken to the back and put in containers for them. We had to put our own food in containers until someone saw and came and grabbed my plate and wrapped it. Food is amazing but the service today was definitely not what I expected and it was my boyfriends first time there. Food: 5 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 5

Best food we’ve had on our trip! Everything was spectacular and the mushroom soup is the best we’ve ever tasted. My salmon was perfectly cooked for the salmon beet salad and the boyfriend’s Pollo Panini had all the right flavors. I also had anespresso martini which was delightful. Staff was friendly and our experience was relaxing. If we were locals we’d be here allthe time!
It was alright, not really worth the price point
