Let’s start with the most important thing: the food was great. I had the steak medallions, my partner had the short ribs. Both were great, but so were the accompaniments. We also had the Noble Bread as an appetizer. Excellent. But $9 for two slices of bread? On to other things. My biggest complaint here is the two-top tables are TINY. Hardly room for water, wine glasses and plates. Very uncomfortable. On the bright side (literally) were the little lamps on the tables that shed plant of light without glare. The waiter had a bit of an attitude problem. Not just with us, but the others seated around us. Then there were the customers. Most in our area of the restaurant were older folks(as am I), of whom you would expect more. One table started out by FaceTiming from the table. Who, but 17 year olds, do that. Two patrons, at different tables, had issues with their meals, so sent their meals back for a do over. After having eaten at least half the meal. As Judge Judy would say, “You ate the steak….”

Had two young children with us at Rusconi’s. Not typically a kid’s place but they were very gracious in accommodating us. Lamb was perfect and beef medallions are always a good choice.

While there many options for weekend breakfasts/brunch, there are rarely any places that make the experience feel like you are the most important diner in the moment. Rusconis is such a great local place with staff that embody what it means to deliver terrific customer service. The food is always delicious! My go to is their Eggs Benedict with a citrus hollandaise sauce. Truly for me the best I’ve ever had! The pancakes are hearty and full of flavor. The coffee is also on point and finally oh the Bacon! So good! Become a regular and don’t forget about dinner!
