| - Came here with a group of friends to check out their Happy Hour which runs from 4-6pm seven days a week. The HH food menu consists of six items ranging from $1-$3 off the regular price menu. Draft beers, wells, and house wines are all $1 (maybe $2) off. I am also supposed to mention, per my wine connoisseur friend, that the reds were served a little cold, but nothing body temperature couldn't handle.
Dave, the bartender and our server (there were only two other patrons at the bar), kept our alcoholic drinks flowing, but was a oblivious to the water refills, but hey, I understand the priorities...make that money. Between the seven of us, we split one Kitchen Platter, Two orders of the Steamed Mussels, two orders of the Goat Cheese and Artichoke Fondue and two Pork Belly plates which satisfied any hunger, but didn't leave us feeling full.
- The Kitchen Platter was what I was really excited for, but it ended up being pretty pathetic looking and I was relieved I was only paying HH prices for that puppy. Maybe serve it on a smaller platter next time for an optical illusion? Anyway, comes with chorizo (about 5 tiny pieces), artisan cheese (4 small slices), spiced olives, roasted peppers (which were like shoestrings that didn't even look like it totaled one quarter of a pepper), grilled artisan bread (4 slices), and a delicious pesto dip. It was good, but like I said, I wouldn't pay full price for that portion size.
- "As far as Arizona mussels go, they are pretty good" which accurately sums up that appetizer which comes with six mussels per order.
- The Goat Cheese Fondue was served in a cute mini staub pot and accompanied by warmed pita. The goat cheese was deliciously creamy (just as a note, the pieces of artichokes were few and far between so don't get this app solely for the 'chokes).
- The Pork Belly plate was by far my favorite dish I tried and I will recommend to anyone I know that is coming here. The combination of the pork with creamy grits and apple relish was amazing and if you don't like pork, just shove it to the side and it the grits with apple relish, seriously, very yummy. If you venture into Rusconi's you MUST try it out!
I rate it at 3.5 stars, but rounded up cause this place hasn't even been open for a week. I'm curious to try their dinner menu, which seems to be what the other reviewers are excited about. I'm happy its in the neighborhood and I will be back to try more!

Visited a second time with a friend. I, again chose to sit in the bar area and the service was amazing! Zack made us feel like we were the only customers in there, despite the other patrons around. We started with the Pork Belly app ($6 HH price) and each had wine. I did notice the HH menu has changed, they now offer a burger for $9, the drink prices stayed the same.
For our entrees we went light by ordering salads. I had the Pulled Chicken and Strawberry Salad ($9) and my friend had the Romaine Salad. Both salads are on the smaller, starter portion side, but both were tasty. I loved the small little cubes of mozzarella cheese with mine. For two salads, two glasses of wine, and an appetizer we ran up a $42.00 bill. But we both were impressed with the food and service. Solid 4 stars this time :)
