We absolutely LOVE this place! Every dish we’ve ordered has been amazing. The staff is knowledgeable, the drinks are so good and the food is brought fast and so fresh! My favorite drink is the strawberry lemonade mojito. It’s so perfect. You can’t go wrong with any meal, but my go-to is usually the braised short rib, that just falls apart on the plate. Ask for extra carrots, they’re the best you’ll ever have.
Wonderful experience at Rustik! The food was delicious. Really enjoyed the short rib, scallops and Brussels sprouts.Would’ve gotten a 5-star rating if the hostess didn’t have her head in the clouds.Took her 15 minutes after our reservation time to seat us with open tables in the restaurant
Oh my, one of the best restaurants we've been to in a very long time. this was our 1st time and the menu is amazing.the food preparation is top notch and the quality of the ingredients and food are 2nd to none. All local and organic. we cannot believe we had not eat here before. wayworth it a little bit pricey but way worth the price. A hidden gem in Riverside and a must go. Amazing vegetarian dishes as well. No liquor cocktails but wine beer and soju based cocktails Very nice decoration inside very well done
Delicious and creative food. Nice ambience and fantastic service. Their cocktails are fun, you can taste the fresh ingredients. Definitely recommend it.
the food was amazing, the staff, perfectly welcoming, and knowledgeable. was exactly what I needed, after s tough week.
The food was ok. Very disappointed that I called ahead for reservations and let them know that it was my husband's birthday and if they did anything special. I was told yes a dessert with a candle. We ordered dessert and still nothing I even got up and mentioned it to the hostess and she said she would let my server know. Next thing you know I had finished my dessert and the server brought me the bill. I'm truly disappointed. Having just moved to CA we have yet to find a decent place to eat, especially with the prices they are charging. It will be sometime before we return. Oh yes and the kicker is we saw a rodent running across the floor. The server caught it and took it outside.Then had the nerve to say it was a bat. Never seen a bat run across a floor in my life!!!Disgusting!!!
The service was exceptional but the food was mediocre at best. Based off the recommendations and reviews I was extremely excited but did not get the same experience once I tried the food. For the price I paid, I feel the overall food and experience fell a bit short.
Absolutely delicious food. The service was exceptional, beautiful presentation of the meals. Fresh, clean, cooked to prefection.
We left The Rustic Fork planning when we could come back, before we were out the door. It was our first time but definitely will not be our last. Our server, Chris, was politely on point throughout our whole experience and guided us with ideas & conversation. The plating was as delightful as the food was attractive. The flavors only heightened the total experience of being there. I should not forget just standing in the restuarant itself sets the tone before you even sit down. Do yourself a favor and take yourself with or without someone special. It will make your day!
Each time I have been here, I have enjoyed the food. The price point I feel is a little to steep for what you get. However, good ingredients and freshly cooked. Not just prepared as many restaurants are. So I keep going back. Staff is friendly and good at what they do.
