    Took a couple gal pals out for dinner at Clintonville Rusty Bucket. Glad I made a reservation because this place was hopping! The Blueberry Bella drink was fantastic, as were Brussels Sprouts app, and all dinners were so yummy. Lexie, our server was so polite and just the right amount of attentiveness!

    We waited 20 minutes for our server to approach us. The salmon was crusty, and the broccoli was cold on one side. I was really disappointed since I order this meal at Worthington all the time.

    We were seated immediately, but waited for about 8 minutes before being greeted by server. Other than slow service all evening, food was wonderful and experience was good.

    It was crowded on New Year’s Eve. None the less, our reservations were immediately honored! Tho we had to sit in the patio area, with a little street noise, and it was overly warm. Food was up to standards, staff were a little stretched, but we were served and treated well.

    We enjoyed our food, portions were large. Our server was busy, and apologetic, but we never felt ignored. Our drinks, appetizers, and entrees came quickly. Our server even went above and beyond to pull out the booth and dig underneath it when our daughter dropped her phone down the booth crack.
