Set the scene: WINTER. SNOW FOR DAYS. BITTER COLD. Reset the scene: Warm welcoming atmosphere. Lunch inside the Stonewater Golf Club. Delicious food. What a treat to celebrate our birthdays at the Rustic Grill! The menu boasted Pick Any 2 for $10. Wow! Salad and half sandwich for me. Thank you very much. Just right for a cold day. We have gone here for lunch and dinner in the past and loved it every time. read more

Our 2nd visit here and one of two things happened: the things have gone downhill for the restaurant or the restaurant just had an 'off-night'. We had a party of 8 for a birthday party (which coincided with Valentine's Day) and we're seated on their patio. The heater that they had pinted at us was so hot that it made sitting at the table unbearable and unfortunately, the restaurant was not able to 'relocate' us to a different table. The food was subpar, half of our table didn't finish their appetizers and main course. The server, while extremely friendly was a bit flustered. The service itself was slow probably due to being understaffed for a holiday. This was definitely an absolutely negative experience, to say the least read more

We went for lunch around noon, it wasn't very busy but the place was nice and cozy in the winter. The patio had heaters that kept us warm. The waitresses were also very kind. The food was really good! The pick 2 lunch special had great options. We had the whipped Brie for an appetizer and it was great. I had the rigatoni with salmon, the pasta was so yummy and filling. The salmon smelled pretty strong but it was very tasty. We all had a great time. read more

Consistently the worst service on the East side. We called in a to go order and was quoted 40 minutes. Our food was ready for pickup after 70 minutes. Nothing more than an apology for the service being slow. read more

The food is always amazing and brunch didn't disappoint. I had the steak and eggs and it was perfect short ribs of beef so tender yummy. The quiche was so flavorful however both of our hash brown potatoes was dry over done and just bad tasting. Please fix the potatoes that was the only bad thing. The service was great. read more

Great place. Situated on a Golf course. 10 minutes from our home, the food and service were exceptional. We really enjoy it and go there often. read more

The Rustic Grill is a true east side hidden gem. The restaurant is located within Stonewater Golf Club and is open to the public. They have a phenomenal menu with my favorites being the Sticky Sesame Cauliflower, the Asian Bowl, and the Trout Oscar. The staff is exceptionally friendly and welcoming. In addition to the restaurant, during the summer months on Friday and Saturday''s enjoy The Yard located right behind the Rustic Grill on the 10th hole. The Yard includes food trucks, live music, ice cream, family friendly activities and more! read more

I ordered the miso crusted snapper. I found it to be clean, fresh and adequately prepared. I don't do ultraprocessed-industrial seed oils so I would question how they prepared the fish. We sat at the bar and, Kelly our server and mixologist, was very helpful in determining my cocktail of choice. My friend is gluten-free and they offered a delightful dessert which we usually pass on because we don't do sugar. We caved into the temptation and split the gluten-free strawberry shortcake, which was a real treat. Kelly split the cost 50-50 on our checks. The ambience was above average for my liking as the Yard outside, the restaurant posted a band where we got the dance off our meal during the next two hours. Big bonus. Kelly's attention to detail was exemplary and it's definitely a reason to return. It would've been nice if the kitchen individually plated our dessert, but we won't hold that against Kelly because we didn't ask. read more

Ordered a harvest salad with chicken. The salad was fresh but unimpressive, greens, a few thin slices of apples and a handful of pecans. It was very lightly dressed. It sounded better on the menu. Didn't feel like it was worth the price $18. The service was a little slow but we had a large group. The waitress was trying. Sat in enclosed area at back. There is a wall heater which is either on (too warm) or off (too cold). Not sure why no one was seated in dining room. read more

Overall, I think the quality of the food has really improved! I love their blackened grouper sandwich..very tasty. I also like the truffle fries. A friend had the Miso garden salad and loved it. Service has also really improved. Staff are attentive and very friendly. Will be coming more often this season. read more

We have enjoyed all our meals at Rustic Grill. Like the atmosphere. Our latest visit was for brunch. Both entrees were prepared beautifully and were refreshingly different from usual breakfast items -- quiche and chicken & waffles. Server was friendly and helpful. read more

To begin with, the golf course presents a picturesque setting, providing an enjoyable experience for golfers. However, the culinary offerings at their grill leave much to be desired. For those who favor unseasoned and insipid cuisine, this establishment may be suitable. While we found the chicken wings to be palatable, they did not meet the expected crispness; rather, it was the combination of parmesan cheese and garlic sauce that enhanced their flavor. It is worth noting that wings are typically categorized as bar food, and the bar itself is commendable, exhibiting a vibrant atmosphere and serving high-quality beverages. Conversely, the service at the patio dining tables was subpar. Our server neglected to provide appetizer plates, silverware, and salad dressing, resulting in all of our dishes arriving simultaneously. My dining companion selected the restaurant's rendition of snap peas, parmesan, and pasta with shrimp, which proved to be excessively bland and nearly unworthy of presentation. I opted for the Chicken Pistachio Schnitzel, which also lacked flavor. The strawberry salad, however, was an exception; it was notably enjoyable, primarily due to the addition of cheese. In conclusion, I would recommend focusing on the bar and the golf course while seeking dining experiences elsewhere. read more

I had lunch yesterday at The Rustic Grill, which is set on the beautiful StoneWater Golf Club in Aberdeen. I came here because I wanted to try something new and had heard good things about the food. I called the day before to make a reservation as I was advised to do so, just to make sure I was able to get a seat. They did ask me if I wanted a seat on the patio but I declined. It was raining and couldn't see well out to the golf course anyways. I definitely recommend the patio on a day when it's sunny and golfers are out! It is an enclosed patio which is nice. Upon entering, they took us right away to our seat (reservation prior) which was wonderful. So we didn't have to wait at all. When we got into the restaurant, it was not crowded at all, as a matter of fact I believe me and my grandma were the only ones inside and only two other tables were occupied in the patio room.. not busy at all so not sure why reservations were advised? I thought it would be busier as the food is supposed to be really good especially at lunch hour on a Sunday. The waitress was so nice, helpful and knowledgeable. I had asked her for recommendations and she gave me her opinions which I appreciate. She also took our drink and food order right away. The food and drinks were good but here's where my review goes to 3 stars: The food. My grandma had potatoes so hard and dry that we couldn't actually chew them, I'm not kidding! I tried one myself and had to spit it out. It seems as if it had been pre made and left to sit out for hours.. not good. Her entree was also dry and she had asked for bacon on her omelette and didn't get any at all. Her food wasn't worth the money in my opinion. But granted, you're at a golf club. So expect food will be on the pricier side. I wanted to try out the signature burger and wasn't disappointed it was really good and the fries were the highlight! You must try the French fries! It came as my side so I didn't need to pay $5 additional. I also ordered the signature espresso to go after my meal and they brought it lukewarm in a plastic cup with a straw and I have never seen anything like that before. She eventually took it back in the kitchen and made it hot but I only got half of what I paid for with the espresso once it was poured in the to go styrofoam cup. It was a $6 espresso that was so small once I got it to go... Overall, the main room was beautiful, our table was a marble table which I love and the bar was decorated for Christmas with a beautiful tree and decor! Ambiance gets a 10-10! I would love to come back during the summer to sit in the patio on a sunny day and I'll be ordering those fries! read more

Nice atmosphere with a nice view of the golf course. Sunday brunch was crazy busy so we had to wait a little bit to get seated even though we had reservations but they staff was apologetic and friendly to get us seated asap. I got the brisket skillet. I was really surprised at the size if this entry, it was more of a dinner size entry. The brisket was way better than expected, tender, juicy and smoked. Quite a surprise given this is not a bbq restaurant. The potatoes were a bit oily but good. The French toast was also a hit, the blue berry spread in the middle was quite good, it kept the toast moist and fluffy with a hint of blue berry sweetness. read more

Had a really nice dinner. Went with a group and got a few of the appetizers. All were good. I got the Caesar salad with shrimp as main course. Very good. Hearts of romaine, really nice dressing and a nice touch with hard boiled eggs. I highly recommend. Thanks for a nice evening read more

Fabulous time Saturday night with my family to celebrate my birthday. We reserved the igloo outside for a party of 8. The heaters filled the igloo up nice. The table was a little small for us but we made it work. The food was delicious with the eggplant parm and the burger. The truffle fries were my favorite! Would love to come back to try more! Service was also very excellent for us being in an igloo!! read more

With COVID-19 raging, but us still wanting to eat out for my birthday, we discovered that the Rustic Grill at StoneWater had outdoor igloos available!! We booked one of the two available seatings and got there in time to see the snow-covered golf course spread out before us! Service was super-friendly and attentive, and the small electric space heaters in the igloo made for a very comfortable meal experience. We ordered drinks, the best of which was my daughter's peppermint (candy cane) martini. We ordered a few appetizers while a basket of warm crusty bread arrived for us to munch. The baked camembert was served in a small cast iron skillet, all warm and gooey, topped with honey and pistachios along with crackers and apple slices for dipping. Calamari was perfectly chewy and lightly breaded crisp with a to-die-for garlic aioli that was saved to dip our fries in to. Since we were in no rush (they have timed seatings), we waited until the appys were mostly gone before we placed our main meal order. More drinks were had! My wife and I did our typical meal-split (two dishes, the burger and the lobster risotto) and the girls split one entree (deconstructed chicken pot pie). The Rustic Grill burger was served more medium that medium-rare, but was still very juicy. Burger came on a brioche bun topped with caramelized onions, crisp bacon, lettuce, melted white cheddar and the same garlic aioli mentioned earlier...it was a great combination of flavors with the sweet onions offset by the tang of the garlic sauce. And the fries on the side were some of the best fresh cut potatoes we've had in quite some time! As I mentioned above, the girls shared a deconstructed chicken pot pie which was topped with a cheddar biscuit. It was very sweet upon early bites (due to the fresh corn), but the flavors developed more as additional bites were taken. The only disappointing dish was the lobster risotto my wife and I also shared...it was very fishy tasting even though the risotto was cooked to a nice creamy consistency. The meal was unhurried, our served Dan was easygoing and laid back taking great care of us throughout the meal and the setting (with only four igloos on the patio) made for a feeling of safety and comfort which was just what we were looking for! Thanks for making my birthday special! read more

Hanna, an EXCELLENT server to start our dining! We were very interested in the Sunday brunch and Igloo dining. So we got our reservations and went to our "tee time". Like I started, our server was fantastic. Explained anything we asked and was so efficient that everyone complemented her. Now the meals! Two ordered the omlets that they said were the best ever! Loaded with their choices and served really hot (and this even with carrying out to the Igloo! My wife ordered the egg sandwich and a side of home fries. Sooooo good!!! I ordered the Belgian Waffle, side of bacon and home fries too. Again perfect in everything. Can't say enough about the home fries. DO NOT OVERLOOK FOR BREAKFAST!! Finally we all split the oreo cheesecake. Just perfect for us. And even with the service/gratuity added on for the Igloo, an additional tip was very warranted! Definitely coming back when weather is better for an evening meal, and so should YOU!! read more

Rustic Grill - Igloo dining!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Highland Heights, Ohio

So I decided to try this restaurant because of the igloo experience they advertise for my birthday. When I called to make reservations they were booked:( however I still decided to try the heated patio and after arriving almost an hour late they still had the reservation in place with a nice sign with my name on it!! (Points redeemed) we then sat down and ordered our appetizers and tried there signature sangria and cranberry cocktail it was very . The food and atmosphere was socially distanced and very comfortable. What I enjoyed most about this was the customer service. Multiple waiters came to check up on us offered to adjust the heat and take bday photos for me. Also they showed me different areas (mini tour) to snap pics and that really added to the enjoyment of the facility. I look forward to have I got dinner there again!! read more

Great food, prompt service even tho it was crowded. Our table was ready when promised. Manager stopped by to ask how we liked our food.

Ravioli dinner has an upcharge but it is only a half portion of the other pasta dinners.

Dined here on a lovely summer evening on the patio. Beautiful setting. Scallop entree & salmon entrees were very good. Our waitress, Susan, was subpar. Never checked back to ask about our meal. It was a long wait between her appearances. She brought our desserts & didn't show up again for 20 min to give us our check. One dessert, orange creamsicle ice cream, had obviously melted at one point & was returned to the freezer. The bowl was ice cold & the ice cream was frozen solid & crystalized. Another 10 minute wait for Susan to get approval to remove that item from our check. read more

Went for Friday fish fry - boarder-line burnt (overcooked in the deep fryer) and smallish portion for the price. Service was attentive. Eating on the outside patio wrapped in plastic sheeting to protect from the weather not really much of a dining experience. read more

Rustic Grill, where have you been all my life. My wife and I were looking for a place to eat out that would have good social distance protocols in place. How could you get any better than your own personal igloo? Rustic grill has personal igloos for up to eight people. Don't worry about the cold because they have heaters. We had a blast and felt safe being in our own area. And on top of the igloo, they have amazing food. We split the flat bread of the day which was perfectly cooked and flavorful. My wife had the Asian bowl with was huge and had a great peanut sauce. I had the lobster risotto, I'm not a huge fan of risotto but this was delicious. The wait staff was very friendly and professional as well. If you haven't been here, go here. If you have been here, go back!! read more

Sunday brunch in the igloo outside. Great experience from start to finish. Service was top notch and the food did not disappoint. You need to book these igloos far in advance (weekend). Super warm inside and can fit up to 8 people. I went with Eggs Benedict which was right on par (pun intended). My kids loved their breakfast (pancakes, cheeseburger, eggs). I would definitely come back for not just the experience but also for the food and service. read more

We decided to stop in for a couple drinks after grabbing dinner elsewhere and were pretty disappointed. It was noted that the establishment was open till 10pm and they were working eagerly at 830 to ensure they were out of there by 10 or earlier. I had an empty beer in front of me for a bit before the bartender noticed as they were focused on the closing duties. Not much of a personality to go along with the lack of service. read more

Stonewater Golf Course finally has a terrific restaurant on the premises. The Rustic Grill is professionally run, and has a warm, friendly atmosphere in their dining room and patio for lunch , happy hour or dinner. My wife and I have tried almost everything on the menu over the last year, and everything they serve tastes great. Drinks are reasonable, and the food comes out hot and timely. Our favorites are the pistachio crusted trout for dinner, and the cajun trout sandwich on sourdough for lunch. Put the Rustic Grill on your to do list- you'll be happy you did!

I have been coming to the Rustic Grill at Stonewater Golf course for many years. Recently the rustic Grill underwent new ownership. My favorite appetizer is the crispy sesame cauliflower, and the veggie burger is always done to perfection! The fried Zeppoli for dessert top off a great meal and can be shared. My son loved the pork chop and my husband likes the Crispy chicken sandwich. They also have a great make your own salad option! We are excited to try the new brunch menu. Our family went to rustic grille for the first time in three months since COVID-19, and the staff could not have been more professional! don't forget to try one of their special drinks :-) read more

This is our favorite small, local restaurant - especially on the patio - all winter long. Interesting and tasty menu selections prepared well. 4 beers on tap (but wish they had Blue Moon). Wonderful, friendly, attentive wait staff. Recommend that you try it out. read more

The Rustic Grill is a clean and comfortable atmosphere. We ordered the Grilled Romaine Salmon Sald ... well to our surprise the lettuce is actually grilled. Our server came back and noticed we hadn't eaten the salad. She did not even bother to ask was there something wrong. We mentioned to her we were displeased with the salad. She went to get her manager Whitney who came out and said "Yeah it's called a Grilled Romaine Salmon Salad, which means it's grilled". Which is not a response I was expecting from a manager let alone the owner of the establishment. read more

Disgusting and sad Mother's Day brunch. Some cold French toast, ran out of eggs, no selection and salad. Would be better off spending half at a bob evans for breakfast lol. Rude management Whitney and Shaun dismissed me and never apologized. Moms we deserve better. read more

Rustic Grill is such a great addition to highland heights! I absolutely love the renovations they did to improve Stonewater. The ambiance is relaxed, but you still feel like you're dining in a classy place. The food is so good! They offer something to please any palate. I highly recommend the trout, buffalo chicken salad, and the porkchop. The menu rotated seasonally, so you won't get bored! For cocktails they do a mean manhattan and the Pom Pom is so tasty and unique! Service is always great and quick. Don't be a fool, always order dessert. You will be in heaven!! read more

My husband made reservations for my birthday 2 weeks prior to going there Sat night. We were shown to a bar top table with dirty chairs. When asked if we could sit at a table, we were told there were none available even though there were several empty. They were socially distanced & still empty when we left. I recently had surgery & the bar top was extremely uncomfortable but I really didn't want to disappoint my husband who was trying to do a nice thing. We both ordered the lobster risotto. I guess if you consider the ends of the lobster as meat, that was what it was primarily made up of, no real pieces of the described poach lobster. The risotto was gummy & tasteless. My husband ate his because he was so hungry. I could not eat mine. For $30 it was not worth it. He also had calamari which he said was good. Upon leaving ,we were shushed because a wedding ceremony was in progress in another room & we were told to wait to leave so we wouldn't make noise. Maybe the reservation should not have been made if there was another venue going on. All in all, it was a very disappointing & expensive evening read more

Friendly service and good food. It was a great first experience. Menu is a bit all over the place but everything we tried was prepared well. It's in the neighborhood so we will definitely be back. read more

Tried this place for a birthday brunch and it all started well. I ordered the grilled ceasar salad, I was under the impression grilled was for the meat not the actual lettuce. Once I received my meal I was shocked to see charred lettuce but I tried a bite anyway to not make an issue. Wasn't a fan 1 bit but to further try to avoid sending the food back I said I'd just eat the Salmon, didn't work it was pretty dry (overcooked) so after 1 bite I was just done. I didn't complain I just didn't eat. The waitress brings the manager anyway and she starts the conversation in a very rude and sarcastic manner so I was willing to pay for a salad I ate 1 bite of just to end the conversation(which I did because I was still charged). She was so rude I asked for her name and was informed that she was the owner. That was also a shocker because as an owner I'd want my guests to feel welcome and I did not and will never return to this place nor reccomend. I gave 2 stars instead of one because for the most part the wait staff was very friendly and we didn't wait long for nor drinks. read more
