Rustic House Oyster Bar & Grill is not just another restaurant. It’s the only restaurant that offers the best and freshest quality seafood in a comfortable, casual and exciting environment. We wanted a place to share the best times with family and friends. Every one of our senses will be stimulated from taste and smell, too look and feel! We put a lot of great thought & pride into who we are. As the only restaurant in Los Altos that offers such an experience, we strive to set a new standard in casual dining for our community.

The Bar is open until 8:45 pm Sunday through Thursday and 9:45 pm Friday/Saturday.

    Food and service were wonderful, but the noise level interfered with our conversation. We will definitely go back but will insist on being seated at a booth.

    Both food and service were excellent! The restaurant was very load so it was a bit difficult to hear our group talk. Overall I would go back.

    Lively atmosphere but very noisy on a Friday evening. The Bronzino was excellent, but the halibut was mediocre. Great service.

    Outstanding as usual. One of our top places to go especially when we have a crowd with us. Our server is top notch. It’s just our luck that she is always our server. With her at the helm we know that we don’t have a worry in the world. And the food is always to our liking. No complaints ever.

    Interesting contrast to the San Carlos branch--very Los Altos. But both Rusty Cows are excellent.

    I have a food allergy and they made me their linguine with crab and lobster from scratch to accommodate my allergy. It was wonderful! And I so appreciate all their extra work!
