Reviews of Rusteak Restaurant & Wine Bar

Great first experience. Nice menu! Went for lunch and enjoyed ourselves. I had a pretty dang good chicken sandwich called “Return of the Gouda” and my wife had a salad, the “Southern Gent”. My sandwich was little messy, halfway through, but overall the chicken was grilled perfectly so every bite tasted great. Drinks were good too… I had a spicy Tequila cocktail, that was slightly spicy (could use more heat) but delicious. Will return next time we’re around the area.

Delicious food and amazing service. Definitely going back. Mark was our server and he emitted hospitality. The vibe inside was perfect for us, a couple of 40 year olds who like good food and drinks and N'SYNC playing. It was a tad too cold even for.me and I run hot, but I didn't notice as I had some of the best tasting soup and perfectly made pasta with giant chunks of lobster. It's a little on the expensive side but it's not overpriced for what you get in taste, presentation and service.

2023 update... not as good as it used to be. The flavors just aren't there anymore. It's a shame. Bistro fries, cauliflower casserole, and rusteak burger are bland. Mussels are co consistent. The new restaurant also has a very off putting smell. It has smelled like this since they opened. 2019 Love, love, love the Return of the gouda. (Menu changes so the return of the gouda is gone now. )😭Dispite menu changes, every dish has wonderful rich flavors. The bistro fries are a must. Happy Hour is worth every penny, make sure not to miss it. The black and blue crostinis are fantastic, and the mussles are to die for. Great service and location! Amazing place for a date or to unwind with a glass of wine.

Just the best! 😋This has been a favorite of mine and many of my friends for several years. Perhaps even a decade at this point.😲 One couple I know eats here almost once a week! 😳 When I had my BnB, This is where I would send all my guests. This is the new location we waited at least two years for them to open. The attention to detail with their craft cocktails 🥃and unique dinner dishes presented beautifully Is what you would expect at a high-end restaurant 🤑 They still have their famous happy hour. Twice each day. But post COVID is nothing like it used to be. It used to be the best deal in town for a beer or a glass of wine, or craft cocktail and a unique tasty appetizer you could get out of there with a tip for $15. Now just a cocktail is $15 - $18.

RusTeak Ocoee is a beautiful and cozy restaurant hidden in the back of some homes in Ocoee! We ordered the crab cakes, a Stella , a front porch on an old cabin, the catch of the day which was red snapper that sat on a bed of vodka cream sauce risotto and peas. We also ordered the scallops with black rice and avocado cream. The avocado was under seasoned and had a weird rim of purple liquid around it from being mixed in with the black rice. The black rice did not have any flavor, the scallops were cooked nicely for me but my boyfriend says they were slightly over. My catch of the day was delicious. The fish was crispy and the risotto was smooth and had a perfect creaminess. The small tri-colored tomatoes on top where sweet and produces a nice crunch on the plate. For dessert I ordered the bread pudding. It had nuts and came with ice cream and caramel sauce. Overall the bread pudding is good but I’ve had better unfortunately. #tryit

This restaurant has several delicious vegan options. The decor is lovely, the artwork is beautiful. It’s very clean, trendy and spacious. I definitely recommend the cauliflower, it was flavorful, the peanuts gave it a perfect crunch. Plant based or not it’s a delicious appetizer. We ordered take out it was still hot when we got home our burgers were cooked perfectly. Our food was out quickly. Christina was friendly, extremely helpful and gave great recommendations. She double checked to make sure everything I ordered was vegan friendly, that extra step is greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this place for dine in or take out.

So glad to see them open again in this area! (In the most unlikely of places) The place is brand new, the decor is very similar to the one in Downtown Orlando. Kind of a modern trendy vibe going on. The food was, as we have always remembered it, FANTASTIC! One kind of funky thing we encountered was that there were numerous open tables, but the host said they had all been reserved. So we ended up sitting outside which is also a bit funky, now that I am thinking about it… you basically sit and eat right next to all the parked cars! Haha TIP: Don’t sit on the left outdoor sitting area around 6pm or you’ll get baked. Zero shade AND YOU SIT ACROSS FROM THE DUMPSTERS. We learned the hard way and had some pretty nasty smells wafting our way. LONG STORY SHORT, GO, BUT MAKE SURE YOU EAT INSIDE.
