| - King Rustic is one of the newest spots on King West, and I was super duper excited to check it out after drooling over the yummy looking fusion menu.
I came here on a Thursday evening and this place was dead. I think maybe one or two other small parties the entire time we were there came in and out. However, even though there were not many customers, service was painfully slow. From refilling water, to getting dishes out, slow slow slow all around. Super friendly, though. The staff even gave us a free, and EXTREMELY delicious tiramisu to share (and I am quite picky when it comes to tiramisu!)
Food was decent, but not outstanding. The prices are a bit weird. Apps are very similar in price to mains which can be a bit of a deterrent when considering an app. I did steal some of the brie app and it was quite tasty! Melty, gooey goodness, paired with their AMAZING bread (I think it's a grilled focaccia? Whatever it is, their bread is out of this world.)
Outside of the brie, bread, and tiramisu, other items around the table were good, but nothing to write home about.
I was a little underwhelmed in the end, but definitely wasn't a bad experience! I think with some service & menu tweaks, King Rustic would be a place I'd definitely return to.
