Rude and dismissive I had a very disappointing experience at the Rushton. Pre-Covid, I was a regular patron, so when patio dining was opened after lockdown, I was eager to return! Having made a reservation on the patio (since indoor dining is not currently permitted) I arrived to be given a table not on the patio, but out on the sidewalk.of a busy, dirty street. I declined the table saying that I had specifically reserved a table on the patio, but was told in a rather dismissive tone that "the restaurant doesn't guarantee tables" - odd since that's what reservations are for. The host and the "manager: were exceedingly rude and made no offer to wait for another table... just abruptly and rudely dismissed us. I will not return read more

The vibe and atmosphere was good. Service was friendly. The food... not so much. Some things are good, and some things are a total miss. I had their fish fry... and was disappointed. The halibut / batter they used was under seasoned. If not for the Tartar sauce, i would have been tempted to send the fish back in order to express my displeasure. Dessert was ok. Don't order the apple pie... the crust is tough and difficult to cut through. Attention to details by the chefs could have made my dining experience different. read more

This week was my first real time in Toronto to walk the streets, see the sights and most of all enjoy great food! I take my Yelp reviews quite seriously and this one is no exception. My very good friend graciously hosted me and after deciding whether to go downtown or stay in St. Claire I encouraged her to keep it local. That was such a great idea...because we ended up at one of her local favorite restaurants, The Rushton. The interior was rustically warm with exposed brick, tin ceilings, rich dark wood tables and even charming chandeliers hanging in the dining room. The staff greeted us with smiles and ushered us to a table straight away. Our server was Simon...great smile, quick to make recommendations for drinks and give us the daily specials before we took in the menu. Ample time was given between bringing our cocktails, so we could think about the specials and make the all important decision for our dinner choices. The veal chop special with pumpkin puree and swiss chard was chosen by my friend, and for me the grilled Atlantic salmon with roasted red pepper rouille and creamy green salsa served over jasmine basmati rice and sautéed spinach. We were served a duo of breads with a red pepper hummus spread before the mains arrived. The runner arrived with two warm plates with beautifully presented meals. The quality of the food was perfect. Even though stuffed with the generous portions I could have gone for seconds....because it was just that good. I would love to have a restaurant like this, or the myriad of choices the St. Claire area has to offer, in my own neighborhood, but for now I'll settle for another visit soon and settle in to try another choice of the Rushton's great menu. read more

The Good: - great vibe, atmosphere and great patio - great staff and service The Bad (only if you're a vegetarian): The description of the veggie burger "Home made spiced 10oz. patty of minced vegetables, green lentils and kidney beans served with tomato, onion, lettuce and a side of frites " Minced to them must mean pureed, as the patty was just a weird wet paste that was formed into the shape of a burger and then..egh..DEEP FRIED. Also based on the yellow/orange colour of the burger there is no way that green lentils were used. As someone who actually makes her own awesome veggie burgers all the time I do have to say this one was a bit sad. You shouldn't have to deep fry it in order for it to hold its shape. It should be able to hold its own. My friend didn't really enjoy her grilled calamari, she said there was just too much going on in the plate and the calamari didn't shine. read more

The Rushton has a menu that everybody needs in their neighborhood. It's one of those restaurants where I would be happy with any option on the menu. However, my stomach isn't big enough, so I settled for a few and all of the dishes were good. We were treated great from the moment we walked in. Our waitress gave us a choice of tables, took my coat, and made us feel at home. I already mentioned I could eat anything on the dining menu, but have not yet mentioned the drinks menu. Gotta love a place that has a drinks menu, and this one is extensive. Really. I appreciate a place that lists their beers on tap, so I don't have to ask, or worse, peer at the bar to try to read the names of the beers on the tap. And the beers on tap were a good selection of imports and local craft beers. We had the special oysters to start (half a dozen on the half shell - big, juicy and flavorful), the lobster linguin in pesto sauce and the steak frites. The frites were a delicious mix of regular and sweet potato. Yum. As I said, our server was great, the food and drink were great. After I return and try more on the delightful menu, I am sure I will upgrade to 5 stars. I really wish this place was in my neighborhood. I would go pretty often. read more

I had a pretty good time at the Rushton. We grabbed a few seats outside and even on a Sunday night it was bustling. The patio is covered and dim, lit only by hanging candles. You can actually smell the wax. When ordered four small plates the waitress screwed up her face, skeptical about the surface area of our table. She was right to worry. The small plates are anything but, which meant we were truly stuffed. We tried the duck confit rolls, coconut shrimp, a triplet of tiny lamb burgers and a fancy-pants poutine with braised lamb. All was delicious. I hope to come here again. Obligatory Title Pun: I might have a c-RUSH on this place. Menu Readability: White swiss type on a desaturated photo? How two-thousand and late. Need to mention: I have not been inside the restaurant proper, so what the hell do I know? What this place teaches me about myself: I'd probably run my arm through a blender as long as the instructions were in Helvetica. read more

I've been to the Rushton a number of times and consistently find the food pretty mediocre. The three small sliders are good, but the fish fry is super greasy as are the crab cakes. Bordering on inedible, greasy. Spinach salad is good, but lacks consistency and under-dressed with too much wilted, half-rotten leaves mixed in. Last time we went for dinner THREE times people tried to take my plate - while I was still eating!! Once I was actually lifting food to my mouth when an over-anxious busboy tried to grab the plate. Seriously? I know it's a small room, and we've been sitting for approximately 30 minutes, but can I finish chewing before you whisk my dish away? The third time I stopped mid-fork-raising and said "I'M STILL EATING!" The servers range from warm & friendly to distracted and vaguely disinterested; recently for lunch the waiter was very busy behind the bar having conversations, but took 10 minutes to bring a single glass of wine, had to be prompted to bring pepper and not once in our 2-hour lunch (he was that slow) did he ever ask how the food was. All that aside, it's a great room - we love the ambiance and the patio (where you'll for sure be ignored if you're not 25 and scantily clad!). I can't believe the high ratings it receives for food, however. People of Hillcrest need to get out more. A nice room and square dishes do not good flavours make! read more

Great service, the food & drinks are amazing. We loved the ambience. We sat on the patio which is nice, the inside has more charm with great art on the walls. Highly recommend. read more

This was my second visit to The Rushton and I was there for lunch on the patio and I was left very disappointed and regretted my visit there. Being a beautiful hot day took a table in the middle of the covered patio which I found not much of a great patio experience as the large heavy vinyl awning blocked a lot of light and the few signs warning you that you are being video taped felt a bit ghetto (though when I was there I did see a few really sketchy guys with overly gelled up hair and big blingy sunglasses). I ordered the steak salad which was extremely disappointing. The steak was cooked to my liking (medium rare) and seasoned well, but the cut of meat was of poor quality and wasn't sliced properly -- it was sliced along the grain, not across, so the meat was extremely tough and chewy and had bits of sinew or gristle which I had to spit out. This should have been trimmed off. This was the second time I ordered this dish and I thought the first time was an oversight. This was really bad because I spent most of my lunch labourously chewing my steak and hardly taking to my friends. The service was pretty slow too, as the simple orders at my table took more than an hour to arrive and it took a long time to find the waitress to get the bill. I usually have my 3-strike rule, but these were two really bad strikes and will not be coming back again! read more

This place is always busy! Even though it was a bit chilly last night, the patio at The Rushton was heated and toasty. I called ahead to see if I would need reservations and they said that they don't take reservations for parties under 6 people, but seeing as I was coming around 8:15 pm on a Wednesday, there would be no problem getting a table. Wrong! My pal and I sat on the outdoor patio couch on the sidewalk and waited until 8:30 pm for any table that opened, inside or outside. You can order drinks to that couch, so that was cool. The hostess was very nice and said that a table opened up on the patio, which was fine because they had the heating turned on. Our waiter came out immediately after we were seated. They delivered fresh bread and a spread that changes all the time. Last night's was a bean and goat cheese spread that was light and tasty on the yummy, chewy bread. The menu isn't large, but has great variety. I ordered the veggie burger with sweet potato fries. The consistency of the burger is a bit mushy, but I find it so tasty that I didn't mind having to eat if with a fork and knife. Like the pickle on the side! Their dessert menu is great, though I was so stuffed, I decided to stick with a tea. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I look forward to eating there again! The neighbourhood is in the midst of ongoing gentrification, so on one side of the restaurant is a coin laundry and across the other side is a closed down store front. Across the street are boutiques and The Goodwill is just east on St. Clair. read more

I went in with a friend for a drink, no food (we had just had roti at Alberts down the road..yummy!) The decor is great - modern, masculine and feminine at the same time. I had the l'orange martini (orange vodka and pineapple juice were some of the ingredients in this amazing drink) and my friend had the tom (gin, lime). The drinks were so good, we did a wow when we each sipped ours then traded to share the experience! At $7-12 a pop, we each only had one drink (I like the Souz Dal $3 drinks on Wed for cost effectiveness!!!) But, I would like to go back and try the food (it looked great coming out of the kitchen) and another one of their other speciality drinks. Their drink menu is extensive. Huge wine menu. They must have a very large wine cellar in the basement. I feel there are way too many tables in the place. You had to plan your route to get in and out and our waiter had a hard time reaching us. Yes the place is great and cozy, but could use less tables. read more

Decided to try out this restaurant on a Wednesday night. Was surprised at how busy it was, but it is not a large restaurant and we didn't arrive until after 8pm. Service was a bit slow, but nothing to complain about. I had the fish fry (basically fish & chips) which came with sweet potato fries. The fish itself was quite bland, but the sweet potato fries were great. My friends both had the mussels & fries and said they were pretty good. Overall, I would def come back again, but would order something else off the menu. And looks like they have a great patio for the summer.... read more

Not sure why this place has such a low rating! Also: it is definitely NOT spendy. The entrees run at about $18. Add in a glass of wine, and you are still under $31... definitely not spendy. It's a good place for a night out, for sure, maybe not a place to go every week, but it's still great. Beautiful decor and ambiance makes it possible to be either casual or dressy, and not feel out of place. Unfortunately it is packed a little tightly inside, so getting to the bathroom can be difficult if the bar is full. But there are always a ton of staff around (despite being a smallish restaurant, they still have a hostess out front every night) to help things run smoothly. The food is delicious, and a lot of the dishes come in two sizes, which is great when I go with my parents, who never want a full meal. It's especially wonderful in the summertime when the lovely and large patio is open - they also open the front windows, which is always wonderful. read more

I didn't dine in but my friends did. Decent prices and good cocktails. Went during Salsa on St Clair, busy but we got seated thanks to a friend. Reminds me of bigger chains but with a few unique offerings. The sliders look good but it's a small portion. Free table bread with red bean dip was provided. read more

The Rushton - Small but well designed space. Good for small group dining. - French Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

An oasis for foodies in the developing St.Clair and Christie area. The vibrant patio may have been a better dining experience for our group of seven, as the noise level in the restaurant combined with smoke/fumes from the kitchen impacted our ability to enjoy what appeared to be a nice menu. Service, while friendly, was new and slow. I had the mussels w/coconut and curry. This should be a staple dish, as it is a cornerstone for French cuisine and relatively straight forward. Sad to report that the quality of the mussels would be grocery store comparable. Small and poorly formed. The sauce was great and the frites were also really good. Hard to believe they would skimp on the quality of the actual mussel. Other diners in our group were satisfied with their choices. I will definitely try it again, and will opt for a table outside or during the week. read more

I have been to the Rushton a few times'; Its a busy place on St. Clair, and has a nice bar, if you want to have a drink before dinner. Never been dissapointed in a meal here. The Bartender whipped up my favorite Sour Apple Martini last time I was in, and it was off the menu, so I did appreciate that. Nice ambiance, and it is a bit tight space wise, but they do aim to please. Steak Frites is #1 on my list of faves, but of course that;s a personal bias to begin with. Give it a try, and do enjoy. No reservations, so it's first come, first serve, you know the drill.... Enjoy! read more

I've been to this restaurant many times and don't know what happened to cause such poor service, cold food, heating on the patio turned off. The server was doing his best, but the manager was rude and dismissive. There were 3 of us 'older' ladies having lunch. Because of how we were spoken to by that manager when we complained of cold food was so rude, that we've decided to never go back. read more

Very overpriced and the food was okay... for the price you are paying, you might as well go to The Catch next door which I assume it's a somehow related to Rushton. Ordered the steak frites and duck confit. The duck was a little too salty, steak was decent. Service was slow and i got bitten by mosquitoes 3 times!!! read more

The food is really good. The service is quite slow, so go there only when you have time. Also this place does not accept debit :( read more

Came in on a Saturday night with a medium size party. The restaurant was about 80% full. Everything was fine in the beginning but service and food quality was overall poor...crap. - My friend's chowder was watery and they did not provide her with a spoon until we got a hold of our waiter 10mins later - Main course came really out late but we were catching up so didn't say anything. -there was no follow up after food was served no one asked how the food was or if we needed anything. - They forgot one of my friend's order (salad) and they did not even notice - they did not provide us with steak knives - We also had to ask for water replenishment - ravioli and t-bone special was bland. It needed a lot more seasoning - t-bone special was not cooked evenly and the steak was butchered badly. Steak was partially burnt on one end, under cooked on one side and over cooked on the other half. Overall I regret picking this place. Service and food were poor. I don't understand how they even received 4.5 stars. read more

For anyone in the neighbourhood the Rushton is an regular dinner spot. And we are lucky for it, as you can count on them. The food is good, it is always packed, has a nice enough patio and it works well for varied tastes - something for everyone. I guess part of the 3 star rating is that I do not think the service is great - they are a bit lazy because they are always busy. I also hate that they won't take reservations. Would like it much better if they could get brunch right - as there is a shortage of good brunch spots. Deffinitely go and check it out. read more

Another top joint in Toronto. Had the Swordfish on top of some fresh Rapini with Garlic. Yes it was very good. read more

Went here for drinks and dinner. The drink at the bar prior to the meal was quite week yet expensive, but atmosphere was very nice. For dinner I had the soup special- butternut squash soup which is slightly out of season for late summer and it tasted as such- was slightly below par- lacked the thickness I am accustomed too.. Plus the soup was presented in a huge bowl...like10inches high...for small tables, not a good idea. The drink I got at table was much better. The rib eye steak was very good. The dessert wine... 21$ port wine was great but the glass was barely filled. At least come close to a third of the glass for that price...and because of that they lost a star. The ambience was delightful. Outside seating was very nice, until the trash truck came by, and an awful stench followed.... Luckily I was paying the bill at the time, but felt sorry for the other diners just receiving their food. Would I return? Probably would check out other places in the area first, but it was good enough for a return visit. They accept Amx. MSZ read more

I love this place especially at night! I order my usual food which is the mini Turkey Burgers and it's the best! Servers are very pleasant, they have best cozy patio, great beer selection and good music!! read more

The Rushton - 3 mini turkey burgers..my fave! - French Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I dine in there on Good Friday. My order was steak and fries. To be honest, the quality of steak does not match its price and overcooked as the steak is no longer juicy. Disappointed with the service I received during a not busy time. The waitress seems really want me to finish my dishes. I've been asked to take away the food every once I stopped chewing. Don't know if it's because I was there myself. Interestingly, I was treated differently with the clients on other tables. The 'helpful' waitress was trying to teach me how to use my bank card on a debit-only pos machine. It makes wonder that the quality of server training at this restaurant. I am pretty sure the pricing of your food can afford you finding some decent staff. read more

I love this place! I've been here too many times to count. I have never been disappointed by anything on the menu!!!! The patio is awesome, decor is great, and the food is delicious. I highly recommend the caeser and the salmon! But you really can't go wrong with anything you try. read more

I am a return customer and we (4 people) went for lunch. The food is still great (4.5/5) but the service sucks (1/5). It took almost 20 mins for the server to take our orders because the server bypassed our table and instead took orders from 2 tables that were seated after us. Then it took more 30 mins for our food (burgers, salad and apps) to arrive. It did look like they were slow with the food for everyone else. To think the server had the nerve to tell us that we need to leave by 2:30pm (we were seated before 12:30pm)! Simply ridiculous! The worst part is I saw him apologized for the delay to one of the tables that he bypassed us for, but not to us. I can only guess that they must be frequent customers, hence the better service. What snobs! If it weren't for the hard times because of Covid, I would have left O% tip. Clearly not going back. read more

Heard quite a bit (mainly mixed responses) about this restaurant from friends who use to work there and friends who dine there often. It's in a great cozy location on St. Clair and what looks like a great summer patio. Service was a little slower than usual but they knew things were running behind and definitely did their best to be as hospitable as possible. The dishes for the most part were alright. Nothing really popped out to me or made me stop for a moment. Although the lamb sliders with the blue cheese nearly threw me off my rocker. Way too large and strong of a dollop of cheese on a such a tiny burger. I have to say that my feelings are mixed and I'm hoping a second visit to The Rushton can only go up from where I feel now. read more

Definitely recommend the poutine. It's fancy (for poutine), but hawt-damn is it ever tasty. "pomme frites with shredded duck confit, creamy wild mushrooms, melted cheese and caramelized shallot jus" read more

I used to go to the Rushton often but hadn't been there in a couple of years. Our experience this past Saturday was much less than I remembered and have come to expect of this restaurant. My husband and I arrived around 6pm on Saturday night and it was just starting to get busy. Our waiter acted as though we were an inconvenience to him from the start. He took our drink, appetizer and entree orders at the same time, dropped our drinks off and we did not see him until after our entrees had arrived. He didn't even clear our plates or make sure that I had a steak knife for my steak. When we ordered, I told him that I would like to order a drink for before dinner for with appetizers, but would be ordering wine for with my meal. A different waiter dropped our food off and we sat and waited for our server to come over and make sure that we had everything. After about 5 minutes, he came by and I ordered my wine. Another 5-10 minutes later he walked past and put it on the table without saying anything - this was the last we saw of him. He didn't check on the meal, didn't clear our plates, didn't offer refills on our drinks, etc. My steak was cooked very unevenly - rare on one side, medium-well on the other. When the meal was done, we told him that we had a gift certificate that we had received as a wedding gift. Our total bill was a bit over $100 and the gift certificate was for $150. We were told that he couldn't use any of the remaining $50 towards the tip and that our only option was to purchase more food or drinks to use up the entire amount. Since we had already had a pretty miserable time and our babysitter was waiting for us to get home, we told him to just bring the cheque and we provided the tip with debit. Its an unusual policy and seems very dishonest for the restaurant to simply pocket that extra $50 - I'm sure they make a killing doing this to people. I put a lot of stock in how establishments respond to clients' complaints and you'll notice that this restaurant never provides a response to anyone (on any reviews anywhere) - which I think is pretty telling and really shows that they don't care. I used to really love this place but I think I will be bringing my service elsewhere from now on and will be recommending that others do the same. read more

Today was our second time dining at The Rushton and let me say, it was quite a nice time! We sat on their patio (as we did last time a few weeks ago) in a nice shady spot near the kitchen. Perhaps sitting closer to the sun could have been nice. Anyhow, we ordered a few beers and the fried calamari to start. The calamari was nothing special, but was consistent with the previous time we had ordered it. It definitely tasted like calamari! I decided to get the "Veggie Burger" for my main dish and, let me tell you, it was very impressive a dish! It tasted like yams though the menu said it was made out of green lentils and black beans, but I truly did not care about this inconsistency because it was so darn great. Somehow, my goat cheese was forgotten but the waiter quickly corrected this mistake. 9/10 for being so attentive! About halfway through our delicious entrees we noticed a woman and her friend come out to the patio. She had crutches, which I thought was interesting. My date ordered the "Spinach Salad" which came with garden fresh beets, spinach, and a few other healthy things including our beloved goat cheese. He thought it was good, but was rather disappointed to find out that a dish advertised as a "quinoa salad" was only lightly sprinkled with quinoa... A bit chincy if you ask me. Despite this downfall, he did rave about those garden fresh beets which came in a red and yellow variety. We noticed one of the waitresses had a tag sticking out of her shirt. 6/10 for appearing presentable at all times. When I went to use the facilities at the end of our meal, the young fellow behind the bar gave me the biggest smile I think I've ever received in my life. Thank you for brightening my day! For a place called the Rushton, we didn't feel very "rushed"! We believe the woman on crutches appreciates this, too. Get well soon. read more

I came to Rushton for a late bite. The service was warm, personable, and professional. The menu has a good balance of large and small plates, seafood, poultry, and meat. The ambiance was laid back, and neighborhoody casual. I ordered the pan seared salmon, which is served with a creamy dip on the side, and orzo. The orzo was delightful. It had an excellent texture and a great light flavor, with tasty olives tossed in. The salmon, unfortunately was flavorless and too well done (firm, dense and dry). It was seasoned, just the piece of fish itself lacked salmon flavor, or any flavor. The side order of fries looked scrumptious. The crusty outside made every bite enjoyable. The inside texture was on the mealy side, and lacked the sweetness of potatoes. In short, in terms of food, it's a mix of great highlights (appetizing presentation, the orzo, the crusty outside of the fries), as well as mediocre elements (the salmon and the cream dip). read more

They refuse to provide patrons with free tap water. They charged us $8.00 for a bottle of water.

For a change, I ventured outside of the Queen Street Corridor (East and West) to go up North. After a brisk walk from the St Clair W subway station (things seem further apart up here) we arrived into a warm and exocticly decorated interior. This restaurant is smaller than I expected, but since they don't take reservations, by arriving before 7:30, we beat the crowds. We picked some drinks off the extensive cocktail list, but only after 10 minutes when the waiter came by the explain the specials and ask if we were ready to order.... I was parched and just wanted water. After finally getting some water and the Tom (tom collins, but with lots of pulpy lime juice!) I was ready to order. The salads and appetizers, which are listed as 'small plates' on the menu are pretty darn big. I'm not used to these quantities in the downtown restaurants. The Stinky salad could have used more stinky cheese, but the tempura vegetables were delicious with the spicy mayo dip. The special appetizer was big enough to be my main dish. All of the mains at the table were quite good, including the steak, frites. read more

Grilled calamari was disgusting and I found foil in my food I got the fried calamari after nothing special it seems as though the chef is a student for the plates I seen coming from the kitchen. Servers weren't in any rush to attend to guests I give this place a 1 star read more

I just returned to The Rushton after not having been there for awhile, and I was somewhat horrified that what I thought was their signature dish was GONE. The original poutine was GONE. It used to be fries with a triple-crème brie and pulled braised lamb ...and now was changed to a duck confit. The poutine was still fine...fries were nice, but not as interesting as with the lamb. Sigh...Progress? Anyways...the resto is still fun. The service was very friendly and attentive, and the patio wide and reasonably covered from the downpour that we experienced while on the patio. Their drink list is fun with a small but reasonably varied tap selection. They have a reasonable selection of wines by the glass. Their Mac and Cheese offered as a side dish, is a healthier, richer alternative to the usual slop offered on a kids menu at a restaurant, and readily met approval by my 2 youngsters...which were easily accomodated by going for an early sitting rather than a standard, PACKED evening dining clot. Portions were a decent size...chicken was moist, and well cooked, burger was tasty and a good size, and other dishes were well prepared and presented. This is a hip and happenin' place, and regularly gets packed in the evening by regular locals. So, expect good energy, and a bit of congestion after 7pm...but before that, you're probably alright with kids. read more

Great drink list- especially the house wines (available in 6 and 9 ounce glasses) Usually great food- however, our last visit for lunch was a disappointment- fries were undercooked and the service was lack lustre- we asked for salt twice and it never appeared- nor did the second pint of beer arrive as requested by my date. You'd think when she finally collected our plates, she'd wonder why all of the fries were left untouched- on 2 separate plates! This was all reflected in the tip- and people wonder why(?) The patio is nice, but it gets loud under that roof with the shrill elderly women who insist on dominating this space. (Best was watching 2 old women show up, one with a dog (not a service animal), set up in a primo spot and then nurse a bottle of Pellegrino between the two of them as they hunched over their laptops!) I'm sure the wait staff were thrilled. Yes, it got busy- BUT- the early tables should not be neglected. Our meals came quickly, then we were essentially abandoned because of the rush. read more

We decided to try the Rushton out because we had loved Ferro and the two are connected. It was a totally different vibe. I liked the fact that it was relaxed and laid back. We were seated pretty quickly, having just walked the scant 10 minutes to get there. (I love our neighbourhood!) We began with risotto with creamy saffron sauce, lemon and seafood. It was the small size, but good enough for a meal if you are not that hungry. We shared it. I thought it was amazing. There was no skimping out on the seafood. The texture was, to me, excellent and risotto is just brutal to get right. I've made it a few times. I know how tough it is (So much work!!). My wife was not so happy with the lemon, yet I rather liked it. Different strokes I suppose. For dinner, I had the steak frites and creamy wild muchrooms. Now, I had not been that hungry when I arrived, so the appetiser had done a number on my appetite, but I will say that I gave it a valiant effort. The steak was cooked exactly perfectly (medium rare) and the regular and sweet potato fries were amazing. I will say that I am a mushroom fiend, so I'm always inclined to love mushrooms, but the creamy mushrooms were just amazing. I mean that. I was so glad to have leftovers the next day. My wife had the seafood linguine and greatly enjoyed it. I wish I had left room to try a bit myself. For dessert, I finished with the mango sorbet. It was very good, but seemed to have more of a gelato texture; not really a bad thing, just not as light. My wife had the blueberry sorbet and Milanese vanilla gelato. She loved the gelato, but was not so keen on the blueberry sorbet. She also loved my mango sorbet (cough, cough). I, however, thought the blueberry sorbet was amazing. While I would not normally name the server, mostly since I'm terrible with names, I will say that we had Simon for a server and he did a great job. He was knowledgeable and quite funny. He seemed to get that we could handle some joking about and went with it. As a result, we just had a plain great time too. Overall, I would recommend the Rushton. It's a little bit of everything cuisine-wise, which is not a bad thing. I'm looking forward to trying most of it. read more
