Rustic Kitchen has been our favorite neighborhood restaurant since they opened nine years ago. The food has always been excellent, and owners John (sommelier) and Noelle (chef), and their staff, have made it a warm, welcoming place. Unfortunately, as you can tell from the way this is written, they are closing the restaurant as of January 4, 2025. We will miss them and Rustic Kitchen very much.

Arguably the L.A. area's finest English Pub experience. Great food to boot at fair prices. Parking can be a challenge and expensive. Walk here from a few blocks away if you can.

I have had to eat gluten free for almost a decade now and this is by far one of the best menus I have found in California. Even if I wasn't GF, I would still be eating here. Food is always 12/10 along with service + ambiance. A note to the Open Table developers: need to enable 6 star ratings literally just for 401k.

The food buffet was good and had lots of option. The bottomless drinks were not very nice. The espresso martini was not nice at all!
