"I can say a lot about The Rusty Face. Suffice to say I WILL BE BACK...OFTEN! There are a ton of great places to eat in Williamsburg. I eat at many of them often and have my favorites. The Rusty Face is now at the TOP OF THR LOST! Everything about the experience was great. I knew it was a newer restaurant so wasn’t expecting the perfection I experienced. Admittedly, I ordered almost every appetizer on the menu, and good thing because (well I’m enjoying leftovers as I write) I have lots dor which to evaluate. The food was perfectly seasoned. The char on the octopus was balanced well with acid. If I have to pick a favorite dish it is the octopus. The zucchini chips were crisp and NOT greasy. The calamari was not chewy and perfectly battered and fried. I also had the mushroom...the char on the mushrooms made for the perfect accompaniment or entree. I ordered a well-balanced cocktail that really made for a wonderful dining experience. The icing on the cake was the hospitality, I won’t say service because it was hospitality. We felt as though we were dining at a friends house who wanted to ensure we were comfortable, pleased and had everything we needed/wanted. I can’t believe I didn’t get our waiter’s name (yeah, I’m that person chatting up with folks).The bigger cherry, the host bought us an aperitif. It was the perfect punctuation to a fantastic dinner!! The Rusty Face gets everything right!"

"When we placed our order, the large male cashier seemed annoyed when my wife asked if the corn tortillas were gluten-free. He was curt with her and made light of her questions. Then, in the middle of taking our order, he abruptly walked away to answer the phone in the kitchen. I couldn’t help but wonder if that call was really more important than finishing our order, especially since there were several kitchen staff who could have answered it. My wife has some digestive issues and needs to be cautious about what she eats, so she tends to ask questions about the preparation and ingredients. During our order, she was asked if she wanted rice and beans, and she replied yes. When our food arrived, the person calling out the names mistakenly called out someone else's name and read off their order. When we confirmed it was likely ours, my wife noticed that rice and beans were missing, so I went inside to mention it to the younger female cashier who was now at the register. The big guy overheard and started insisting that my wife hadn’t ordered the rice and beans. At this point, I was ready to confront him, especially since he had been rude earlier. I asked him to pull up our order so we could check the receipt. While the receipt didn’t show that we had paid for the rice and beans, it wasn’t about the money for me anymore—I just wanted to address his rudeness. As for the food, the burrito was bland and packed with clumpy white rice. My wife ended up leaving the salmon on her plate along with the rice and beans. It was a disappointing $35 spent. This restaurant is just two blocks from my work, and I would have loved to have it as a go-to spot, but after this experience, I won’t be returning. Hope this feedback helps!"
