We loved every single dish we ordered; the house-made bread and butter, addictive marinated olives, heavenly dumplings, refreshing and complex tomato variety salad, inventive and well-balanced cocktails, chocolate halva, and the freshest, most divine fruit plate we’ve ever tried.

We have eaten at Rustic Canyon several times and have enjoyed the food and dining experience well enough to return. Last night’s meal blew us away. We tried a dish in every category. The portions are shareable.

Amazing food and service in a Michelin restaurant without the Michelin ego. Casual and laid back with a incredible menu. I’ve been here at least 6 times and it’s some of the best food in Los Angeles, hands down. The beets is incredible, as is the spaetzle. Steak, melon salad, zucchini dip, it’s all amazing.

I’m so glad I made it for Chef Sarah’s last month. I’ve followed this restaurant for a while and was absolutely blown away by everything. The absolute pinnacle of laid back and unpretentious high end food I’ve ever had the pleasure to enjoy.

Food was fresh and there were no misses. Would recommend if you want a solid meal. The restaurant does get a bit loud when fully packed. I would return again to try new dishes as the menu does change daily.

Really great food and above average wine/drinks. Had the Ora king crudo from a guest chef menu. Their range of ingredients is impressive. A bit pricey and portions are small but flavors make you forget all that. Not the most intimate dining space but not shabby either. Great date spot!

*EDITED FOR January 2023, 2 stars: VINEGAR. Lack of balance. I don’t understand how so many dishes coming out could have so many basic issues. Is no one tasting these? Many of the dishes seemed changed just to change them (even more so than the weekly and seasonal adjustments). The kitchen back staff has changed and so has the head chef. I was excited to try new dishes from Zarah Khan, but after tasting new dishes I am left greatly underwhelmed and mourn the loss of my favorite local eatery. Michelin has also dropped the star off the location as well. I just want to visit again and have all the dishes be wonderful!

Delicious food in a down to earth space. The roasted kabocha (Japanese pumpkin), beet salad, and fennel orange cake were our highlights. Perfect for a cozy date night dinner

This restaurant is contemporary Californian, with a unique wine list and unique dishes, or the way they are prepared. Fried pork belly with pickled veggies was not my favorite, as the overall taste was pickled veggies. Pork chop and sourdough pasta were really good. Deserts were also very unique and different. Definitely a different experience.
