    The table was set for my group when we arrived. The server was attentive and jovial. Food arrived in a timely manner. We did not feel rushed as we spent time catching up.

    Men’s bathroom was nasty - wet floor, flickering lights. Our waiter was a little too much - calling the men in our group “brother”

    We had a good experience at the Rusty Bucket in Clintonville this afternoon. The food was good and consistent with our prior visits. Our server was friendly and stayed in touch with us without being annoying. The Cubano sandwich was awesome and my wife was more than delighted that the daily special was Coney Dogs! Finding the handicapped ramp was a little difficult, but they had plenty of handicapped spots and they were all close to the main entrance, which isn’t always the case, believe it or not.

    I think I may have been over charged. I don’t think it would be intentional, but I wish I had asked for an itemized receipt.
