Rustic House

I really enjoyed this place.  It is nice and quiet and the service is spot on.  

I had octopus, gnocchi, veal cheek, rotisserie chicken.  My favorite was the gnocchi.  

We also had the corn brulee.  It was too sweet in my opinion.

Our waitress was a doll.

I brought my Valentine to Rustic House, since it was on her list of places that she really wanted to try.  I don't like to venture into LP too often, but I have to say, I'm really happy we ended up at Rustic House.  It was an awesome dining experience, and we are sure to return.  We started off with the wood grilled octopus, which was similar to a salad.  It was very delicious, and was just the right portion.  My date ordered the flat iron steak, which was covered in a peppercorn sauce.  It was so awesome that I found myself dipping my perfectly cooked NY strip steak into it!  My steak was served on a hot iron pan, which was great because the drippings were still available for me slide my steak on before each bite.  My mouth is watering just thinking of it as I write this review.  We washed down our meal with a few cocktails from the bar.  I'm not a vodka guy, so the bartender was kind enough to turn the Mountain Mule into a Gin Gin Mule..which was I really needed.  My fiance had the Pomelito, a refreshing tequila cocktail, that was perfect for her.  The staff was super friendly, and our table was ready for our reservation....even if it wasn't, the food is well worth the wait!

I planned an event at Rustic House in its basement wine cellar. Seating fits 20 max and there are two options for price fixed menus. It was a beautiful room and private for a small birthday celebration. Other venues tried to charge for room rental and we found this comparable space for no rental fee. It was beautiful, romantic feel and had elegant food. The staff was very helpful and let us customize some things, like bringing in our own cake, etc. I definitely recommend this place for private dinner parties.
