Rustic House Oyster Bar and Grill/San Carlos

"Three stars because the person that sat us provided paper menus and never mentioned that the cube in the middle of the table was another way to see the menu. The paper menu was so hard to read because the letters were super small, and I felt like I was grading someone's homework. However, the food and service were good. I had a salmon, which was cooked to perfection. We also had the bourbon oysters and crispy calamari. The mango margarita and the bloody mojito were great! To end our supper, we had a three leches taramisu with coffee flavor. I recommend it 100%. It was about $178.00 for two people. The place looks clean and it is quiet. There is plenty of parking space and it is kid friendly."

"Food and cocktails were great. Delicious and fresh oysters with multiples varieties to choose from. Service was friendly albeit perhaps a bit inexperienced. I really don't require much attention. That being said, when I leave my card out to signal I'm ready for the check it is annoying when every member of the wait staff and front of house personnel passes by without taking notice for 10- 15 minutes. It wouldn't have bothered me until the bartender yelled out to me, asking if I had paid. Which of course I had, but they left a bad taste in my mouth about the experience. She probably should have known, and would have known if she had paid any attention"

"Always great to dine here. Every time I'm around, the service, food, and atmosphere are great. Big fan of the Fanny Bay oysters. It's tough to find oysters in the Bay area, but Rustic house is a great choice for appetizers and drinks after work, or a full meal! Parking is easy on the street, and the staff is always super kind. One of my favorite haunts in the Bay."

"This was a great experience. I came with two friends who ordered oysters and shared the cioppino. They enjoyed this dish and highly recommended it. I ordered the creamy garlic scallop pasta without pancetta. It had a light creamy taste and lots of flavor. We all shared cheesy garlic bread and a lemon tart dessert. Yum! I did order the ginger spritz, I believe it was called and found it to be refreshing. Lastly, Rachel provided friendly and attentive service. I'm sure next I visit, I'll be back. Highly recommend."
