I've been to the Rustic House a handful of times now. This most recent time was so much fun! I met Rob, the most professional and genuine bartender/server. He was a joy to have as my server, but he was especially friendly and kind. I'll be certain to return when Rob is working, because he makes one feel as though he/she matters...in an honest and humble way. Great food and great people working at the Rustic House. Thanks so much.

[Food] - Raw Oysters (6 for $20.99): We got the Miyagi & the K oysters. They were fresh and my favorite pairing was with lemon, rustic wash and a bit of Tabasco sauce! - Grilled Oysters (6 for $22.99) Rustic House: The grilled rustic house oysters were delicious! I originally thought it might be a bit overpowering for me but the garlic, chives, butter, cayenne pepper & Parmigiano worked well together and this was one of the dishes I thoroughly enjoyed! - Poké Wonton Cups ($19.95): The tuna was decent, but overall was a tad too saucy and I don't feel like it was worth the price for the amount we got. The uncooked radish on top felt awkwardly placed there as it didn't help with the overall flavor. - Mahi Mahi ($31.95): The mash was pretty good but I feel they may have used a tad too much butter. The green zucchinis were a bit bitter but the yellow ones were fine. The unfortunate part was that the Mahi Mahi was pretty overcooked. - Cioppino Single ($34.95): I'm glad this was decently cooked and flavorful. All the seafood was cooked perfectly, not overcooked. Pasta was perfectly al dente. It was a bit small for the price even though I understand this is for a single person. i would say its saving grace is that they do give you more seafood than other places. [Service] - Friendly, attentive, helpful [Ambiance] - A nice rustic decorated restaurant with a bar, indoor and outdoor seatings [Overall] - I would come back for the oysters especially during happy hour! - Sadly the other dishes were pretty mediocre so I'd rate closer to a 3.5 but their servers were really friendly and attentive so I bumped it up.

Rustic has a great menu with a lot of diverse dishes. we started with a poke and artichokes. I had the creamy scallop and garlic pasta with prosciutto. It was delicious. Service was very good. Our server was very attentive and very social able. We will be recommending Rustic and will be back.

A windy but pleasant day in Los Altos found us at this fine outdoor corner dining spot. All three of us ordered the Wild Alaskan Cod tacos and were not disappointed. Each plate came with two soft tacos along with small sides of rice and black beans. The cod pieces were fried and puffy but not greasy. Everything was fresh and delicious and we topped the meal off with a cream brûlée. Very tasty so we will probably return when we accumulate some extra cash because at this location the prices are a little steep. Our server was attentive and efficient. I think his name was David. We were all glad to be dining out again and watching all the people going by. Things seemed almost back to normal. Update---- We are still visiting this restaurant from time to time. The dessert is scrumptious, key lime pie with a nutty crust. Never tried it before but will order it again. Yum! Update---Still enjoying our lunch here from time to time. I ordered a Bay Shrimp Louie salad again and loved every bite. Plenty of shrimp, very fresh greens and just enough dressing. Very good and satisfying.
