    Celery root rarebit
    Amy L.

    Even before I visited for dinner, I inadvertently drove by the restaurant earlier in the day and without even knowing what it was, thought to myself "Wow, that looks like a really cool building!" If had been warm enough, I would have loved to sit on the patio, but the interior is intimate with a great vibe as well. The whole place just feels storied and special with brick walls and tin ceiling. I was dining solo, and got there in time to enjoy a few happy hour specials. I really loved the short rib goat cheese agnolotti, and the celery root rarebit was so unusual and unlike anything I'd tasted before. In a good way! Washed down with a glass of red wine, I was perfectly happy with the not-too-big portion sizes. My only small complaint, several items I was interested in were 86'ed --- the beef skewers, cheesy bread and chocolate mousse. The servers made me feel very comfortable and at ease.

    Short Rib Agnolotti

    This was our second visit. Dining on a cold, snowy Thursday evening at Rune was exceptional! The four of us were warmly welcomed, and seated promptly. The dining area is casually appointed, yet very inviting. Our servers were efficient, knowledgeable of the menu, friendly yet not at all intrusive, and checked back with us re: our satisfaction or needs throughout the meal. Our food was outstanding! Started the evening sharing the kimchi fritters. Very crispy, tasty exterior with an almost creamy filling. The citrus agave dipping sauce was the perfect accompaniment. The four of us each tried, and shared with each other a bite of, four different entrees (each pictured below) : the short rib agnolotti; the pork collar with leeks, fennel, and mustard vinaigrette; the very unique lion's mane mushroom with rutabaga puree, spinach, and poached egg; and the rigatoni with butternut squash, bleu cheese, and sage. Each couple shared a piece of beet cake dessert (not pictured), with a warm almost caramel-like sauce and it was one of the best desserts ever! Not too sweet. Very moist. Very delicious! Would recommend this restaurant, and encourage anyone to try it! Sean is an excellent, talented, innovative executive chef! His sous chef, Kody, does a great job too!

    Chicken Skewers and Montana Cocktail

    Good atmosphere, friendly staff, unique food options, and the pricing was similar to the competition. This was our 1st time to Rune to celebrate our Anniversary. We arrived at 5pm for the Happy Hour specials. We really enjoyed our starter which was the Chicken Skewers which were only $2 each during Happy Hour. I could have had 10 of these as my main course, but they were a little too spicy for my wife. We ordered a pasta to share and it was perfectly cooked with just a little firmness and very light, but meaty sauce. We finished the dinner off with the Ribeye which was cooked Medium with a very nice sauce as well. My wife tried the Montana, and the Pansy cocktails and preferred the Montana, I stuck with the $2 beers. Jayma, our server was covering the entire restaurant which was about 12 tables but all the staff pitched in to clear, deliver, and serve every table efficiently. Overall it was a very nice dinner which could be taken to the next level with the addition of ice in their warm served water, and some locally or in restaurant sourced bread to go along with all of the pasta selections.

    Pork and Shells pasta dish was amazing

    We have been to Rune a few times now, and I cannot endorse it more fully as a 5 star review. Delicious and creative menu options as well as great drinks (as well as NA options) are all worth trying. The staff is attentive. So happy for a restaurant like this to be here in Fort Wayne.

    Are you kidding me with these reviews?! A+ gold star! Let's just start with one thing. Service was outstanding. Couldn't beat it. I accidentally scheduled our reservation for the next day, no problem, they got us right in. A nice little wine list, mocktails available as well. Love that. I love the menu, it's smaller, but still very easy to choose from. It's as easy as this, small, medium and larger plates. It's made to share. It's perfect if you ask me. The chicken wings, no joke, chefs kiss! They were crispy and fell off the bone. Better yet, they were packed full of flavor! Seriously, some crazy ass reviews about Rune. It's new, so I can understand some of the hiccups, but this food is absolutely fabulous. If you didn't give this beautiful space 5 stars , go back. This place rocks. Keep it up. We will gladly be back!

    Bicentennial Woods

    We went to Rune tonight for dinner. And some of these reviews do not do Rune Justice. Absolutely amazing! First the cocktails. I started with the Rocky Hollow, it was like the best black raspberry margarita (minus the salt)! Then the Bicentennial Woods, omg the best whiskey cocktail drink I've had, by far. It was like frolicking in the woods all in my mouth, so good! So glad the waitress recommended to try it. Then the food! we started out with appetizers of the chicken wings and spicy cucumbers. The wings were a perfect balance of crunchy, savory, and sweet. And the cucumbers were so fresh, spicy, and delicious. My partner ordered the pork belly with vegetables and I ordered the creamy lemony rigatoni with mushrooms and bacon (to die for). I'm not a big mushroom guy but this put mushrooms on a whole other level! This is by far my new favorite, and can't wait for our next visit!!

    Closed. All the windows covered. No phone. They should update the websites so people don't waste time driving out there.

    I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff, food, and atmosphere at Charlie's Place. They…read morewere wonderful in accommodating our large group on their beautiful patio. Even with a higher than expected attendance, they handled everything with great attitudes and exceptional hospitality. They had the food beautifully displayed and ready for our guests upon arrival. Choosing a menu and paying for catering was easy, and they were quick to respond when we needed to increase our order. Cristy went above and beyond to help make our event a success and made it a highlight moment for our group.

    We don't live anywhere near Fort Wayne. We're 2 1/2 hours away in Frankfort Illinois but we go…read morethere once in a great while to exchange grandkids with my son who lives in Hudson, Ohio a suburb of Cleveland so he picked this place Charlie's to meet us for a lunch repass and it was very good. They have a very short suite menu, but what I had was terrific I had a a salad with salmon on it and a lot of other veggies. It was terrific. The salmon was jerk, salmon, and the whole thing was a delicious repast. We had a appetizer of a couple bowls of their homemade chips. Unlike many places that don't salt them. These were salted just the right amount not too salty and I can't say anything bad about it. Our server was terrific and his name was Alex and the place is shaping up. I guess they just took it over from someplace else. The walls are a little bit bare needs a little more decoration and the ceiling is bare, but the chairs are very comfortable so it's an easy five star.
