Rustic Root, San Diego CA

Food was just ok. Mixed drinks were horrible. If you are prepared to sit in the cold upstairs then this is the place to go.

Great food, extremely fresh. Everything in our order was perfect. Service is prompt, accommodating and on point. Will be coming back, one of the best experiences I have had in SD by far.

We sat on the roof with a great view. The yellow tail was prepared perfectly, beets were balsamic glazed and paired wonderfully.

Really nice, trendy hot spot in the Gaslamp district. Good seating options indoors and outdoors. The staff was dressed up as characters from Alice in Wonderland for Halloween. Was cool to see a theme. A different menu than the normal pub grub. A few interesting craft cocktails as well.

Very fancy restaurant, the foods are also very delicious, I sit close to the window on second floor, I like that nice street view. Maybe it’s because there are many clients, so I do feel service are a little bit slow.

Updating to 5 stars. The food here is really on point and the location can't be beat. Tonight's service was some of the best and simply amazing. Low key, friendly and attentive. I wish I could remember the server's name because this guy is going places.

Came here for brunch on a Saturday with some friends from out of town. Everyone was blown away with the ambiance, service, and food. The mimosa tray consists of 3 different types of fruit, fruit puree, and three fruit juices which added some variety to our boozy brunch. The pork belly Benedict was really good, my only criticism was the belly was a little dry, but the Chipotle hollandaise made up for that. The Verde chicken was also amazing. Despite this being a hot commodity for brunch, we took our time and no one rushed us out the door. We hung out for 2 hours chatting with friends and left at our leisure. They also have rooftop seating which requires 200 dollar minimum but seems well worth it.

Probably 4.5 but rounded up. Very good overall. My drinks were great, wife had one was just decent. Both on their custom drink menu. Salad, apps we got all good, meatballs perhaps just 3.5 but bread dish and salad both very good. Nice ambience on rooftop, would go back, it sure I’d do the lower level indoor here as loses the value but who knows.

Seating/view of the city is fantastic. Food cones out piping hot. A few cocktails and you've got yourself a solid night out

The ambience was spectacular! Their dining area was open air which kind of put my mind at ease during the covid times, the food was exquisite! I had the shrimp and grits and it was so creamy and delicious. The staff was super accommodating and friendly. Definitely recommend

If the food and service had been amazing I wouldn't have such a problem with the $12 well vodka/sodas, the $5 'surcharge'? And the 22% added tip. Our $99 bill ended up at $133 with tax. C'mon. I know it's expensive to run a restaurant, especially these days, but a little notice that my meal is going to be at least 25% more than expected might help avoid the sticker shock. Especially when our server forgot to bring my friend's side dish and never came back to check on us until we were done eating.

Had a very pleasant experience, good service and food. No wait on a Saturday night, was busy but now crowded. Would go back. Visited on 10/23/2021.

Great place I was there this weekend the food was great and the
drinks are great Good atmosphere Great service I rate 3 stars because of this scam they sell you a Tomahawk and bring you a ribeye for the press of a Tomahawk other from that it was great

This place is so appealing to the eye. Looks classy and clean and the food was amazing. You have to choice to sit upstairs or downstairs and they have couch seating as well. Highly recommend to visit and eat.

Great spot for a nice dinner on the water. Really enjoyed the environment and the food. Service was great and the food come out very quickly for how busy they were. The creamed mushroom side, burrata and my raspberry drink were fantastic. The cornbread was okay, needed more jalapeño butter, because it was pretty dry. Would definitely visit again!

Had a great time here. Came in to have some drinks on their rooftop. Great atmosphere, amazing breeze, quaint view, great waitress! Angelena was amazing, even though she had a full floor on her hands. We got our drinks promptly, and they were delicious. Highly recommend to come here!

Cool spot to kick it with friends (which is what I did). The charcuterie board was deliciously diverse. Drinks were well made. Love the upstairs "rooftop' vibe. Good looking crowd all around

The server was nice but it took FOREVER to get anything. We ordered our final drink.waited.paid our bill.waited some more.then finally got our drink but by that time were more than ready to leave. Food was good, though

This was my favorite brunch spot in the Gaslamp. Great views. Attentive and quick service. Amazing mimosa bar with tons of mix in options. The food was superb.
