"We had a nice, solid meal here. I think the ambience is nice here, and I wouldn't hesitate to take someone here for a date! There were just a few things that I felt could be improved, hence the 4 stars. We ordered the mussels, friend got a cobb salad and I listened to Victor G. and got the burger minus the bacon). The mussels were very good. Sauce was super garlicky and yummy. A few of the mussels were closed, so not perfect, but I would order them again. I didn't try the cobb salad, but it looked really delicious... perfect avocado and a good portion of chicken. It got a thumbs up from my friend. The burger was definitely as good as promised. I found it to be nice and juicy, very tasty with distinct flavors. I thought it was pretty excellent... I gobbled it down super quickly. I wasn't a big fan of the fries though, their texture was off for me. They tasted kind of stale, even though I knew they couldn't possibly be. I'm kind of a fry snob, so maybe I'm just picky... but the real problem with them was the house-made ketchup. The ketchup is unappetizing, bordering on gross. I ate it because I felt obligated to after the waiter's little spiel about it. Dear all restaurants everywhere: Can we please stop with the artisan ketchup thing? Everyone just wants Heinz anyway! I ended up dipping the fries in the mussel sauce. but I would've preferred ketchup. : I would definitely return to Rustic Tavern and try some of their other stuff. But next time, I'll smuggle in a bottle of Heinz!!"
