    My husband took me out to the Rusty Bucket in Clintonville for my birthday. I had salmon and he had a steak, and the meals were absolutely delicious. Our waiter was extremely friendly, and the service was remarkable. I recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere was very pleasant. We made reservations, and our table was ready when we arrived, even a bit early.

    Was busy and noisy when arrived and most of first half of time there, but better later half. Did get sat at reservation time which I appreciated though wait time for others (sat pretty much upon arrival). Our waiter was great and when there was a delay in one person’s order, they did not charge bill as a result, even without us complaining about. Food and drinks were enjoyed too.

    Took a couple gal pals out for dinner at Clintonville Rusty Bucket. Glad I made a reservation because this place was hopping! The Blueberry Bella drink was fantastic, as were Brussels Sprouts app, and all dinners were so yummy. Lexie, our server was so polite and just the right amount of attentiveness!

    Another great meal at Rusty Bucket. My wife said the soy glazed salmon was good, and my chicken parm was great! Devon was attentive and provided excellent service!!

    We waited 20 minutes for our server to approach us. The salmon was crusty, and the broccoli was cold on one side. I was really disappointed since I order this meal at Worthington all the time.

    We were seated immediately, but waited for about 8 minutes before being greeted by server. Other than slow service all evening, food was wonderful and experience was good.
