    Caesar salad
    Taylor R.

    Another Rusk successful rusk visit for happy hour! The pretzels and whipped feta are an absolute must every time

    Enchilada egg rolls

    Went for lunch and was happy to see all menu items were available. The seasonal cocktail menu looks spectacular, definitely want to give the gingerbread martini a try. Salmon entree was good and my party tried 2 different burgers (black and blue and black bean) which were decent.

    Fantastic brunch and atmosphere. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was absolutely delish. I can't wait to go back and try more things!

    Chicken and waffles with Siracha syrup
    Ebony P.

    Food was great! Got the chicken and waffles with siracha syrup - so, so good! Our server was phenomenal. She checked on us regularly and was very sweet! Beautiful space and a great location. Always clean inside and friendly staff. Lots of great seating and a really nice rooftop! Street parking is available and there's a paid lot on the side as well.

    This restaurant is in a great location with plenty to do nearby. It's also a really beautiful location when you walk inside. We didn't try upstairs but the downstairs was very spacious with plenty of booths and bar seating. Taylor was super helpful with selecting our meals and drinks. She also recommended that we stop by during happy hour for their great deals! We were even able to try a special dessert that wasn't on the menu. The food was pretty tasty and I recommend the tater tots with chili. For my main meal I had the cajun chicken alfredo which was also pretty good. My favorite food really was the cheesecake, though. Now to try breakfast!

    Tochos, whipped ricotta

    I can't speak for dinner, but I visited for happy hour and had a wonderful experience. The service at the bar was attentive, friendly, and prompt. If I remember correctly, the happy hour is only applied at the bar. It includes drink specials ($2 off spirits and beer, an $8 mule) and food specials with bites $8 and under. I thought the decor was lovely and I would love to come back for full dinner service in the future.

    Kale salad
    Serge C.

    In summary: very good place for happy hour "drinks and snacks" but would not recommend for full meals/nights out. We went for the New Year's price fixie menu. Food was broadly well-presented and served quickly, but often under-seasoned and not very layered/spiced. The duck confit roll was under and thus somewhat mealy. The latkes were actually really nice just under-seasoned. The Osso Bucco was served cold and we had to send it back; the risotto was simultaneously mushy and al dente (and also under-seasoned). That said, the drinks were really good, with house cocktails all with very solid liquor choices and made with care.

    First attempt was a restaurant across the street, which unfortunately did not have available seating. I found this lovely gem directly across the way. Nice music, great vibe, spacious. The food was pretty good and very fresh tasting... and I can't wait to go back and try other items. I would recommend this for a date, small or large gatherings.

    Brie, basil, bacon
    Trinity G.

    Definitely a cool spot to hang out or grab a drink with friends. The ambiance is modern and stylish, and it makes for a great first impression. The food however was just okay. Nothing was necessarily bad, but it didn't quite live up to the vibe of the space. Overall, a solid place if you are looking for a fun, visually appealing spot to spend time. Worth checking out for the aesthetics and drinks more than the food.

    Bah bah bolo

    As I entered I was greeted by 3 young very judgmental "girls". I ordered the bah bah bolo. Terrible. Noodles tasted as if too much flour was added the red sausage had no flavor and the ground lamb tasted like ground liver. Beer selection was good and the atmosphere was nice and fresh. Our server was great and attentive. Sorry can't say I'll be back.

    Apple bacon slaw
    Eileen B.

    I went here for burger week and got the peanut butter bacon burger. It was good. Needed more peanut butter. It was a little dry. I also got the apple bacon coleslaw. Very nice. The restaurant is pretty. Nice and spacious and they have outside patio. The menu looked interesting so I think I need a return visit

    My friend wanted to come here for her birthday. We dined in on a Sunday for brunch. At the time it…read morewas super busy because they were booked for birthdays and events but we managed to fit a party of 12 around the DJ area near the bar. They made it work for us and were very accommodating. The food menu served was brunch. The menu was simple, but they had a lot to offer. I would best describe southern soul food. Very reasonable in pricing and the drink menu had a great selection as well. My fiancée and I ordered: Drinks: -Pinot noir -Manhattan -Espresso Martini Brunch: -Grilled salmon with side of onions & potatoes - Shrimp and grits For it being super busy, we didn't have to wait long for our food. It was fabulous. My salmon was grilled perfectly. The hot honey went very well with my salmon. The potatoes were delish. My fiancée really enjoyed his shrimp and grits. He mentioned that the shrimp was on point. I tried my friend's French toast . Wow! That was amazing. Nina was our server and she was great! Very polite and attentive. She was working really hard. I want to give her huge props. I highly recommend coming here. The DJ really knows his music and everyone was having a great time. That's all that matters, Right!? Great place!

    Came on a Thursday for $1 chicken wings and $4 lamb chops. You had to order at least 3 lamb chops…read moreand 5 chicken wings which isn't bad. If you reserved a spot for 5 or more people you received a free bottle of wine. I kept asking our waitress what the free bottle was and she kept saying she'll ask but never came back and told me the answer. After an hour we received our free bottle. My drink came out 30 mins before the rest of my group and then some of the food even made it out because others had their drinks. I ordered lamb chops and wings my lamb chops came out but my wings never did. I asked about them 5 times and finally they came out as my group was ready to leave (2 hours later). I told the waitress I didn't want them anymore and I was excited to try the apple bourbon sauce. They ended up coming out I told the waitress I didn't want them anymore because I've waited so long and she took them back and said "well you should have told me before I went back there to ask about them. I was waiting in the back for them and told them to make them fresh for you" and then she took the wings back and didn't offer any compensation. I then went to the bar and asked this sweet lady named Q for a manager a manager came out faster than I expected and handled the situation with grace. As far as my waitress goes I understand the frustration with kitchen being slow but please don't take it out on me. I'm very understanding. Also they no longer have hookah. My first experience here was definitely better than my 2nd experience and I'm not sure if there will be a 3rd.
