An amazing place for dinner. For a limited time they have a presidential menu to celebrate America 250! The cheeseburger sliders are amazing. Also the rigatoni plate left me speechless. The pasta was oerfect, the meatballs were soft as cottonballs and the bread was worth writing this review over. To top off the night, Ryan the server was easily one of THE BEST servers I have ever experienced. I will definitely be back. 10 stars!

We dined at Rusty’s Bistro twice while visiting the Sheraton. Both times we were so pleased. Dinner our first night and then tried the breakfast buffet a couple of days later. My fiancé still raving about the pasta from dinner and I enjoyed the large selection of breakfast buffet items!

We came back for the ribeye steak, but unfortunately it was not on the menu anymore . Sad. We had a lovely dining experience overall. The grilled octopus was a standout—perfectly tender and bursting with flavor. It came served on a bed of hummus or some kind of purée that was incredibly rich and well-seasoned, adding the perfect creamy contrast to the char of the octopus. The tenderloin was also impressive—beautifully soft and juicy, though it leaned a bit more on the rare side than expected for a medium rare. Still, the flavor and quality of the meat made up for it. I’m not usually one to eat mashed potatoes, but I have to admit, these were absolutely packed with flavor and hard to resist. We ended the meal with in-house chocolate chip cookies that were warm, gooey, and simply delicious—an unexpectedly perfect finish. Service-wise, Julie was very sweet and personable, though a bit forgetful at times. Nothing major, but worth noting if you’re someone who values attentiveness. Overall, a memorable meal with a few quirks, but the food more than made up for them. Would definitely return.

We are picky customers. We weren’t sure we’d have the best experience at this place being it is currently rated 4.2. Usually we seek 4.5 restaurants or higher. But alas, we are staying at the hotel and after a day of sun, we were wanting something convenient so we decided to give Rusty’s Bistro a try. Wow! So glad we did! From the moment we stepped in the pretty blonde hostess welcomed us with a warm smile and got us seated promptly. The gentleman serving our table was outstanding. Very knowledgeable on the menu and helped us make the right selections. I had the seared scallops, hubby got the rib eye. Kids ordered cheeseburgers and grilled steak kabobs off kids menu. The food was perfect! Every bite mouth watering delicious! We decided to get desserts as well, and they didn’t disappoint either. Giving this place five stars! Ambiance, service; food, wine and drinks! All amazing!! You won’t regret eating here.

Breakfast in the morning was mind-blowing I had not one thing that was bad! Thanks Rustys bistro for such an amazing time to remember ❤️
