   Great food and service. One of the best places to go for a business dinner.

   Taylor and Amir were outstanding waitstaff. They ensured that the table was great or if anything was needed. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

   Second weekend in a row, last weekend was with friends, this weekend with family. I wish there were more varied brunch items for children. My grandson is a bit picky and there wasn't a large selection for him.

   The food was excellent. We had to flag down our server to order because they wouldn’t come back to the table. Very friendly, just not prompt. The food came out extremely fast though which was nice because we were headed to a show. Very loud and hard to have a conversation but that seems to be the trend these days.

   Food was great, slightly short on help, and music was uncomfortably loud

   Venue is fantastic. Live music amazing. Food incredible. The service could be better. Takes a long time to get noticed for someone to take drink orders and keep them filled. Takes a while to get drinks. Food comes out in a timely manner, however takes a while to get your server to come over to take your order. Lots of open tables, so doesn’t seem like there should be a long wait time for tables or for good service, but there is for both.

    I’ve been going to the rustic since it opened and the brunch was always amazing as of lately I feel like the quality of the brunch as gone down I appreciate the new menu but sometimes you shouldn’t mess with a good thing I miss the salad and the Nashville hot chicken the fried pickles and the cheese plate the French toast is still delicious overall it’s still a good place to brunch just wish they would bring back some of the original menu
