I looked, didn't see a thread on them....
We went tonight for the 1st time and were pleasantly surprised. Good food and fine service, and the portions surprised me also.

I have been there probably about 20 times. IMO, one of the top restaurants around, not that we have a ton of choices. It could be a great restaurant anywhere. Also, they have a 4 course special that is $35(?), and certain day's the wine is discounted. I have only had one meal that was not good and it happened to be last night. Don't let that stop any of you! I had some egg shells in my Pasta Carbonara, but they took care of me. Go for lunch or dinner and you will not be disappointed. From sandwiches to pizza to apps to entree's, everything, including the service has been terrific... every time but once.

I love Rustico's! IMO I agree with overboost - one of the best around! Small things can happen to any restaurant at any time - same to be expected with them - those are the exceptions rather than the rules though and it is one of the few places that feels like you are actually OUT to DINNER. I don't mind paying good money for good food and this place is worth every penny spent - very nice people, very nice place, very good food, super cool atmosphere - really awesome .

Ditto....Speeder and Overboost.....one of the best on the island.....we enjoy the happy hours on the bar side....discounted drinks and 1/2 off bar food.......pizza is wonderful and calamari best in the area.

Rustico is definitely my favorite local restaurant by far. Granted, I'm allergic to seafood, so most local restaurants I can't even walk into, but I've always had good experiences at Rustico and love their food.

I'll tell you what Rustico has going for them that NO OTHER restaurant on the island or Kent Narrows has. CONSISTENCY!! I have been there at least 100 times and I have not been disappointed once. No other restaurant around here has demonstrated the consistency for preparing great food the way Rustico has. And in my book, thats gold. Heck, we went to Bridges last week and I got the Shrimp N Grits and it was amazing!! Never had Shrimp N Grits before. Went back Sunday and it totally sucked. Then they couldn't even cook a simple piece of salmon for my wife without screwing it up. 1st one was burnt and hard as a brick. 2nd try was raw! I almost pulled a Gordon Ramsey on them!

I guess throwing a piece of salmon across the food bar at the chef and saying, "You don't know how to %*#@ing cook a piece of fish!" isn't my idea of reserved.
