    The chicken quesadilla which is listed under appetizers was amazing and a generous portion! It was most of my meal and filling! I even took some home! The peel and eat shrimp was also delicious!

    Our waitress was very lovely - she's very attentive to making sure we get our food quickly as we are on a lunch hour and usually a large group. Food was delicious as usual!

    We love this place when we get a chance to visit. This time they were swamped with most tables full and it was really cold today. I think it was hard to keep the drinks filled and food getting to tables quickly. It was great to see everyone pitching in and helping each other out. Even the manager was helping all over the place. We look forward to outreach next visit soon.

    Always enjoy the food at Rusty. I love their soy glazed salmon and order it almost every time I go. The sangria’s are tasty too.

    We were not seated at our reserved time and had to wait. I watched people walk in and be seated before us who did not have a reservation. That was a bit annoying. The front reception desk seemed unorganized. I had to remind them of my reservation 3 times and each time they had to look it up. The food was great. Some items had to be sent back because they did not give us our food as we asked, such as no tomatoes or blue cheese on the salad. And the coffee served was like warm.
