Rustico

The bar: Great beer selection. Order some finger foods - the menu changes all the time. Sample a beer by getting a sampler pour. The dining room: We were elbow to elbow with the table next to us, which I never like, but it worked out ok. We order the beef tartare (weird, but excellently done), pesto flatbread (a must), and a wonderful snapper dish. The menu always changes but the chef is top notch. The establishment: Cool metro atmosphere, brick walls, etc. A bit trendy for older folks but they seem to like it as well. A nice find tucked away from the old town hub-bub.

Went there on a week night last week and the place was pretty crowded - a good sign. But, once we sat down it took forever for someone to come take our drink orders and then forever again for our beers to be delivered. The food, however, arrived more promptly. Two of us got pizzas, which were really good, and then the other two got the crab gnocchi, which was just plain weird. I think that the pizzas are probably the way to go.

Great food. Great brew. Great atmosphere. It is my favorite! There is a beer for everyone on tap and definitely to choose from otherwise. Always the best on cask. I was first hooked when I took my first sip of Bell's Hop Slam. Incredible...I love this place.

Food is acceptable. Service is unacceptable. No air conditioning in bar area.
