Rusty's Bistro

"We enjoyed their Thanksgiving menu. I had the Prime rib and my wife had the turkey dinner. It's not the lowest price in town, but all three courses were delicious. We'll go again next year. Cheers"

"I'm very disappointed with my visit on Thanksgiving. Rusty's has a great reputation for fine dining. However tonight it was as common as going to Applebee's! The service was poor! The turkey was dry like it was sitting in a food warmer for hours! The food runner beat the waiter so our soup bowls and salad plates were still on the table. The waitress was slow and forgetful. The temperature of the restaurant was like a refrigerator. Everything was just a complete cluster tonight! Rusty's you're better than this!!! Mr. Kimble would definitely not approve of this!!!"

"We just celebrated my mother-in-law 86th. Birthday in this gorgeous Bistro. The food was absolutely amazing!!!. Everything in it, may I say. First we tried some of the starters. We recommend the Calamari Piccata and the Caramelized Trumpet Mushrooms. Then, after making those disappear, we went ahead with the main course entrees. Seared Scallops for the wifey, the Crab stuffed Gulf Grouper with a to die for Mediterranean Risotto for mom-in-law, and the pan seared Bone-in Veal Chop for yours truly. None of them let us down. That was a superb experience all of it's own. All cooked and seasoned to perfection, including the sides. Desserts, we tried the Limoncello cake and the Expresso Crème Brûlée. Absolutely incredible...!!! Kudos to the Chefs. Service was done with care, kindness, politeness and excess of professionalism. Maria and Walter were simply the best. Atmosphere was nice, calm and very pleasant. We will be back for more!!!"

"Dinner tonight was fabulous! We were surprised there was not a wait for this place! The food was so fresh- unique flavors, large portions, and wonderful presentation. Our server, Randy, rocked! He was super knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. Jamie, the maître d’, ensured everyone was taken care of- staff and customers. All around fantastic experience and the highlight of our stay in Sand Key. Everything was delicious, but I cannot say enough about the delectable crab cakes, spring salad, and pasta pappardelle (tender pasta with blue crab, scallops, and shrimp- so good!)."
