We waited for a roof top table even as the main dining space was basically empty and were glad to wait for ten minutes, the vibe was great and service dynamic. Food came in fast after ordering, a little too fast. Great selection of drinks and appetizers but I'd prefer a few more meat and poultry options to the entrees selection. The appetizers are generous in portion, we ordered the spicy prawns, burrata, and Mac and cheese. It hit the spot. The appetizers filled us up to the point that a couple of us shared an entree. The fried chicken was moist and delicious, so were the scallops with cauliflower and the lobster pasta. Overall good experience.

Place is very lively. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. I had the spicy salmon dish, very light and delicious. I wasn't to crazy about the appetizer, It was the HEIRLOOM TOMATO BURRATA. The cheese wasn't super appetizing and felt like it needed more flavor.

What an experience. I got to have my first espresso martini here, and it was absolutely one of the best things I got.
We got a handful of apps and from what I can remember the Pork Belly was the best thing we have eaten in a long time, highly recommend trying to get a rooftop seat up in this place

The name maybe Rustic but the flavors are everything but. You can come here for something simple and to the point like their amazing strawberry puree froze rose, or get a modern twist on a simple food like a grilled cheese made complicatedly delicious and intricate with goat cheese and pear.
From the interior design to the food and drinks, they understood the assignment for brunch, lunch and dinner in the heart of Gaslamp you are sure to find something for everyone in your party.
Enjoy.

Absolutely delicious restaurant. Drinks and food were served quickly and were delicious - especially the specialty cocktails. The scallops and corn fritters were amazing!

Hipster/rustic type vibe with fusion food but it works. They have many classics as well as twists on originals. Drinks are good and the desserts are to die for. Live music and efficient but friendly waitstaff. Smack in the middle of the gaslamp quarter.

I cannot give this place enough stars! We came her with a 6:30 reservation on Thursday night and we got right into the rooftop. Didn't get the edge but it was still nice. The service was quick and friendly. We had some appetizers and drinks. The froze was pretty good. The star of the show was the burrata and tomato salad. It was delicious. The dynamite shrimp was pretty tasty as well. We left to explore and wished we had stayed her the whole time.

Very disorganized service, front of house doesn't have their act together. The food beat out the drinks and the hot drinks were cold. Items were missing from the food order, dishes were cold and had to be remade. The ambiance of the restaurant is cool, I wanted it to be so much better but it wasn't.

First things first, this place is built for people watching. From a bar top over looking the street to fireside tabletops, this place makes you comfortable for your viewing and donning pleasure. Drinks were all top shelf and the food was amazing. The firecracker shrimp had a perfect amount of heat. The wife had an awesome salmon dish while my pork chop was divine. Also, Camelia (our server) was super friendly and helpful. Would recommend a repeat visit.

An excellent meal and service! The drinks were also fantastic. The decor is cool too, didn't expect the animal theme which was really fun. There was great live music playing as well.
