Serving brunch family-style is definitely different and won't be to everyone's liking. Take my husband for example, he hates to share food and wants to order what he wants, not what you tell him he's getting. Fortunately for The Rustic, picky-pants like him are in the minority and there are many more diners who are like me and will enjoy the variety of offerings they pile in front of you. I thought every dish was finger licking' delicious. The only negative thing I have to say was that I found the house-made rosemary syrup on the Baby Fried Toast strange and not to my liking. Next time I would just ask for regular syrup. I love the casual warmth of The Rustic and it's a great place to hang with family and friends and enjoy the weekend over some hearty food and stiff cocktails. I am looking forward to a return visit soon.
