This was a great experience. I came with two friends who ordered oysters and shared the cioppino. They enjoyed this dish and highly recommended it. I ordered the creamy garlic scallop pasta without pancetta. It had a light creamy taste and lots of flavor. We all shared cheesy garlic bread and a lemon tart dessert. Yum!

I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews for this place, but do not let it steer you away.

Nothing fancy here. Just great food, service and great appropriately named Rustic vibe. The cheesy garlic bread with Dungeness crab is not to be missed. We also had steamed clams & mussels. Delicious. Last we tried the poke. Everything was outstanding as were the cocktails. There’s plenty more to try including some tempting pasta dishes. Always leave them wanting for more they say and that would be us. Can’t wait for the next visit.

Rustic House is truly a San Carlos and a Peninsual gem. I couldn’t believe how we had not checked this place out for 5 years living nearby. It is essentially a seafood joint cooked with down-to-earth comfort food style in a unique rustic industrial cannery / beach shack.

It’s sooo delish. It has PLENTY of FRESH crab meat. The Rustic House grilled oysters are classic and delicious as well. Yum yum yummy. Oh yea, calamari was trash (I’m exaggerating). Looks nothing like the other pics I saw on other reviews. I could have done without the calamari.

Effort was made to make this look like a fish shack, atmosphere has a bit of sports bar vibe. Wine list is not amazing. Great craft cocktails and food offerings are really outstanding. Menu is one of best seafood menus I have seen in years. Menus and cocktails pushed me to 5stars…maybe I was there on understaffed night. I will be back often even though I am not on San Carlos much.

Happy hour here was great! Got some apps and then hella $2 buck oysters. Fried veggies was very filling and that wasabi ranch is hella offensive… but I liked it. Ceviche was decent but I wish the shrimp was a little less cooked in the acid.

Made reservations for party of 11 for Saturay night. I was pleasantly surprised that there was live music. The place was very lively and had good ambiance.

We have eaten here 3 times now around lunchtime and each time the service, the atmosphere and especially the FOOD have always been top notch. The executive chef deserves ALL the Michelin stars!!! The drinks are always spectacular served by friendly faces. Everyone who works there seems super down to earth and I almost don’t want to post this review because I don’t want our new go-to spot to get overrun with people but it’s too good not to mention. I’ve had the fish and chips, the Rustic Burger and now the AMAZING perfectly poached Salmon Eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was just the right consistency and flavor! I also love when restaurants have Cholula sauce and not just Tapatio!
