"Way too loud, and always has been. We had an 8:45 eservation and were told at 9:15 that out table still wasn't ready as the guests were lingering after tehor dessert. When we decided to just eat in the bar, we were told that a table had opened up, at 9:30. We plaed our orders within 15 minutes, and didn't get our entrees until way later. Tehy did comp us a couple of appetizers, yet we weren't finished with dinner until at least 11 pm. It was so dark we had to ask for a light to see the menu. Another diner saw our flashlight and thgouht we'd brought it and told us how smart we were to do so beacause he couldn't read the menu either, and none of us are in the elderly age range. The service was nice, but they really just kept apologizing."

"Rustic Canyon is a good special-occasion restaurant in Santa Monica that doesn't venture into Melisse territory. Took my CPA fiancee there to celebrate the end of tax season. It was perfect for that kind of occasion. The food is good, not excellent. The service is great. It feels warm and intimate and definitely special, but every time I leave I remember that there's something keeping this place from being top-notch amazing."

"New Executive Chef does not disappoint! After reading reviews & experiencing too many "vibrant" restaurants lately, I'd requested a booth although just my husband & myself-I wasn't hopeful but after a short wait at the bar (just long enough to be served our drinks, we were seated in a cozy booth (not sure how you'd squeeze 4 in however ;)
Started with the Parmesan Puff (rich, creamy & delicious), followed by the cipollini onion kohlrabi soup (unctuous!) & prime rib eye (perfectly medium rare). Hubby had crispy beggar's purse stuffed with beet greens, ricotta & pine nuts (fabulous) and perfectly seared halibut. Shared banana cream pie, tasty but the custard was an unappetizing grey color. Service was leisurely, perfect 4 us, hate 2B rushed"

"The service was exemplary. Our orders were delayed due to some mix up in the kitchen. So the manager personally came to apologize and brought 2 desserts on the house. And since it was one of our birthdays, they even brought an extra ice cream serving with a candle. The food, of course, was delicious. The burseel sprouts, prawn, burger, potato croquettes, kale salad. All excellent."

"Rustic Canyon was one of my favorite dining places but has slipped with the decision to do away with espresso coffee. I don't get how they can justify this backward step - we were told that it was to enable hard liquor shelf space. Lame excuse."

"Rustic Canyon Wine Bar & Seasonal Kitchen exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing, and the burger met and exceeded the hype it gets from burger coinsures. The noise level was pretty high, I don’t mind it at all but if you are the type that likes a quiet meal keep this in mind. If I could only give you two suggestions they would be as follows. Order the burger, it is amazing. Tip your bus boy, they do all the work, you will see them 3-5 times during your meal whereas you will see your server 1-2. All around great dinner spot that I will suggest to anyone."

"Fantastic! We are fortunate to live nearby and just stop in rather frequently. The food is wonderful, fresh and flavorful. They have a great wine list and everyone knows their stuff there. They have the best burger and fries in the world (I'm working on expanding my list...) fresh fish, pasta, vegetables. Can't say enough about this restaurant. I will always keep them on my top 10 list."

"I've been wanting to visit Rustic Canyon for some time, and glad I finally went. Had to make a reservation about a week in advance, but was very happy that I was seated promptly when I arrived. It's always lame to make a res and then have to wait despite being on-time. The service was good, but as dinner went on, the place got busier and the kitchen backed up. This meant that our last few items took a while to come out, but we drank wine and enjoyed ourselves and it wasn't a problem.
I found the small plates to be much tastier than the bigger plates. The burger is great but not as good as I had hoped. A bit overhyped. The spicy prawns were great, as was the buratta and broccoli salad. Banana ice cream dessert was a hit."

"Second time here and Rustic Canyon did not disappoint. We were seated shortly after our reservation time in a packed house and I am impressed they can manage the timing so closely. We lingered for well over two hours enjoying beverages through coffee. The wine pours are generous, beer selection intriguing. We particularly enjoyed the clam pozole and burrata with broccoli as starters. Their signature burger was delicious, as was the ribeye and roast chicken. A shared dessert of a chocolate olive oil tart was a sweet finish to a wonderful meal! Will visit again next time I am in town!"

Kale salad with dates was amazing as was the chicken adn baby carrots with a subtle curry sauce.
Can't wait to return."

"We arrived, with reservations, at 6:00PM and were seated at a booth. There were four of us and no way was the booth large enough for four. We started with small plates, scampi (not so good and very overcooked), pork belly (very good) beets (outstanding). Large plates followed. The rib eye was very good and cooked perfectly (as expected for the price). The two ladies ordered steelhead. One was OK but one, we all agreed, was so salty that it was barely edible. Lastley, the burger, it was very good but didn't beat out Plan Check. The fries were great. The cheese plate, at $21, was just plain PERFECT, the cheese selections provided something for every taste, I would highly recommend it. Deserts were also outstanding. Overall, cramped and pricey"

"I generally love the food at rustic canyon but my farro dish with mushrooms and poached egg was a bit bland and I was veryyyy disappointed in the dessert menu - not "rustic" at all with caramelized bacon and olive oil chocolate cake - I hope it was the pastry chef's night off as my poppy seed tuile with lemon curd was way too sweet and very disappointing - bring back the delicious crostades and chocolate tart!!"

"Rustic Canyon is amazing! It explains why they are always booked out! The food is delicious, amazing burgers! The service is impeccable! I had mentioned in my booking that it was my boyfriends birthday and had asked to sit on the side of the restaurant where it was a bit quieter. Not only did they do this but they also brought us a free appetizer (crudo) and a free dessert with a candle (Creme brûlée) to celebrate his birthday. It made it a really great night for the birthday celebrations!"

"We always enjoy our trips to Rustic Canyon, from the delicious pre-dinner olive plate right on down to the thoughtful, seasonally appropriate and always yummy desserts. The whole wheat cake with apple was amazing on this trip. We were also big fans of the butternut squash soup with chesnut. Highly recommended!"

"The atmosphere is lively and friendly. The service is quick, attentive, and they're able to accommodate special requests (like bringing out the food quickly so we could make our theater performance). The food is superb. What can I say? One of the great restaurants on the West Side."

"This was my first time at Rustic Canyon and I would say it was just average! we had a drink at the tiny bar before dinner and the bartender was also just average in terms of service. My friend ordered a johnny walker scotch and they didn't carry it. She was very surprised. I ordered a martini and it was brought to me in a tiny wine glass which looked very "cheap" and I felt that it was tasteless from a restaurant of this caliber. I've never seen anything like it . The dinner menu only had 4 entree selections and the rest of the food items were appetizers. the food quality was good and the presentation was easy on the eye. The server was again average. I'm glad I finally ate here and I probably would not return real"

"Enjoyed the second visit more than the first. Went on a Monday for burgers, both of which were excellent (Tarentaise and Rustic Canyon burgers). Spaghetti Chitarra with clams was lively and spicy.
We spent three hours at our table and never felt rushed. A very nice evening."

"Go here for the burger and you will not be disappointed. The rest of the menu is less spectacular, though nothing we had was bad and some things were creative. The staff is friendly, though not particularly knowledgeable about wine. Tables are nicely spaced.
Would definitely return for a Monday night burger & beer."
