6 days in a row for breakfast. Walking distance from where we are staying in LA. Service is excellent from all.Had the eggs - fried and scrambled. Both very good. If you come on weekdays between 8am and 9am you can get the 2 eggs at 50% off. The coffee from Groundwork, is excellent. Had the dark roast everyday, Black Gold.Kids enjoyed a bacon and cheese sandwich almost every day.On another note they have a very good wine selection with an option of flights too. Recommended.

Loved this wine bar! I don't drink very often, but when I do I always make sure it's high-class -yet affordable. Rustic Kitchen Market & Cafe did not disappoint. They have an awesome ambiance with a fireplace, soft cushion chairs and a wonderful assortment of wines and pairings. I went with a white wine from Nice, that was crisp with nice notes of varied fruits. I will definitely be visiting again when I'm in the area! More...

I'll be back for the Brussel Sprouts. HOT DAMN those are good. Good beer selection. Good service. Neato decor. The Fried Chicken Sliders were pretty good and the Braised Short Rib Panini was tasty, but the Brussel Sprouts. ..oh mannnn...they are really spectacular. The perfect combination of East meets West in a dish. I just wish there was more on the plate.Prices are a tad high, but for the location, it's not bad. Just get the Brussel Sprouts though...2 orders of it. More...

We found this gem on our trip to Santa Monica/LA because it was near our Air B&B. We ended up going back there a second time (consider that a big deal seeing as there is so much good food in the area! ). They have a great selection of gourmet salads, seafood, burgers, etc with a huge selection of wine and craft beer/cider. Everything we tried was fantastic. The service staff were also helpful and accommodating. More...

Food and service was wonderful! Fried avocados were perfect with the crispy outside and soft inside and the sriracha mayo. The Parmesan fries were the skinny fries with loads of Parmesan cheese. Lobster Mac and cheese were so creamy and big pieces of lobster. Sliders had the perfect flavor too. More...

Very fun place. We both had the fish tacos. The menu said fried fish, we asked for grilled and they said no problem. The tacos were delicious but felt for the price they either should have been bigger or more than 2. We will be going back. Great food. Friendly staff. The staff goes out of their way to provide outstanding service More...

Outstanding service food was good. I had the fish tacos which I requested to be grilled rather than fried. Delicious but a little pricey. 3 would have been nice

I love this place. It's so clearly a passion project for the owners. One is a sommelier. The other is the chef. Food delicious. Wine selection wonderful. I didn't eat that bread pudding (my friend did) but look at it. Yummers. Brussel sprouts and sliders are my personal faves. More...

Wished I lived closer. This would be my main foody hangout!!! Ever single dish on the menu is a Chef's delight. First bites are fabulous :) The atmosphere, design, hospitality, menu choices, and service are perfect. I'm told that as the weeks go on, the menu will enlarge as will the marketplace. I'm bringing vans of neighbors to this special place. More...

We have loved this restaurant since it opened and it's in our neighborhood. The food, the wine and the service are outstanding. The RK skinny fries are the best french fries in town with addition of the smoked paprika. We also love the chicken pot pie, the burgers and the fried chicken sliders. Wonderful desserts, like the chocolate bread pudding. The wine and beer selection is also excellent. This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant. What's great about Rustic Kitchen is that you can go for a snack, for lunch or for dinner and you don't have to dress up! More...

Glad to hear Rustic Kitchen is BACK!!!! This eatery had become a go-to Mar Vista restaurant and the place was rocking all the time. Great food, great wine, great service staff and a wonderful place to go with friends. They're a part of our great neighborhood. Glad to see they were able to get open after the devastating fire that shut down every other business in the building. Highly recommended!!! More...

Rustic Kitchen has the most amazing food in the world! Great Mac-n-cheese, burgers, appetizers that are off the charts, salads, lobster rolls, and that are just to name a few.
I love going there and trying something new each time as it is always delicious! Then you can match the great food with fantastic wine! whatever you like in wine, they have it and they have a lot of it. About 50 wines by the glass plus they always have great new wines and suggestions! Staff is great too!
Special note - if you really want a treat, go to one of their monthly wine dinners...winemaker comes in and then they create a 5 course meal to pair with the wine! Just amazing to go with friends!
