Rustic Kitchen has been our favorite neighborhood restaurant since they opened nine years ago. The food has always been excellent, and owners John (sommelier) and Noelle (chef), and their staff, have made it a warm, welcoming place. Unfortunately, as you can tell from the way this is written, they are closing the restaurant as of January 4, 2025. We will miss them and Rustic Kitchen very much.

Chef Caroline Schiff is an all star! She put on a command performance debuting her new NYC restaurant concept. Every last finishing touch was delicious and perfect. From the dressing on the salad to the garnish on the dessert - no detail was left unattended. We love Caroline!
