    My daughter and I had such a great dining experience. It was for her birthday and the staff knew it- they made our evening extra special for her. The hostess ever so sweetly wrote out a birthday card for her and the server had a candle on her birthday dessert. The food was incredible- the new location is absolutely stunning. After visiting the San Diego location, my daughter and I have labeled Rustic Root as our place! We already know what to order at our next visit!

    We really enjoyed the location, the service, and the food was terrific. The options of inside and outside dining is great. When the restaurant is busy, it may be hard to have a conversation, but the pleasant location and food is really worth it.
