   Be sure to make reservations on the weekend so as not to have a long wait time!

   Food was great, slightly short on help, and music was uncomfortably loud

   Venue is fantastic. Live music amazing. Food incredible. The service could be better. Takes a long time to get noticed for someone to take drink orders and keep them filled. Takes a while to get drinks. Food comes out in a timely manner, however takes a while to get your server to come over to take your order. Lots of open tables, so doesn’t seem like there should be a long wait time for tables or for good service, but there is for both.

   I’ve been going to the rustic since it opened and the brunch was always amazing as of lately I feel like the quality of the brunch as gone down I appreciate the new menu but sometimes you shouldn’t mess with a good thing I miss the salad and the Nashville hot chicken the fried pickles and the cheese plate the French toast is still delicious overall it’s still a good place to brunch just wish they would bring back some of the original menu

   It was not a good experience. The espresso martini is horrible it is just coffee liquor The peach tea also not good very bitter no Alcohol The dip was the best thing we had. The Beercan chicken was mediocre I will definitely not be returning

   We booked for a group of 14 to an early seating on Sunday. Literally took over 40 min just to get drinks and coffees, and we the place wasn't even busy. The whole brunch took just over 3 hours
