    The place is clean, comfy, more modern with rustic! Big beautiful windows and wood tones! Service was super friendly and helpful! We started the Atkins diet! So to our surprise they helped us pick and change up some of our meals to fit what worked for us! I had the hamburger with cheddar in a lettuce wrap and side salad! My husband had the breakfast bowl; eggs, cheese, ham & bacon! IT WAS ALL SO GOOD!! Like all fresh, great seasoning and super delicious! Definitely a place we would make sure we made time to stop by on our way to Monterey/Aptos areas! and I really enjoyed a couple conversations I had with the ladies!!

    Rustic Table Watsonville-Caramel Macchiato is to die for, perfect temperature and soo creamy I couldn't wait to consume it.

    Rustic Table Watsonville is spotless, well decorated and comfortable and the staff Heather was absolutely amazing and made us feel like we were friends if not family.

    Steak Salad
    Ryan D.

    Fantastic service, great food, and generous portions. I ordered the steak salad and my wife ordered the BLT wrap, both were delicious. The fries are really good, love skin on fries and my wife generously shared the extra crispy ones. They give you a LOT of steak on the steak salad, which was really nice. The steak on the salad was cooked perfectly medium rare. The servers were very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

    I have been to this place a handful of times and have enjoyed the food everytime! The service is the best and very helpful. Have had Brisket Mac N' Cheese, Banana Cream Pie, pasta, clam chowder and a Sandwhich. All have been delicious. I enjoyed the blood orange Italian soda. If you have a chance to stop by to eat in or take out and eat.

    Bacon, Egg, and Cheese in English Muffins with Hashbrowns.

    Food wasn't great. I ordered English Muffins with Eggs and Cheese. The English Muffins were doughy and chewy. My wife ordered pancakes which were flat, had no substance to them, and had crunchy corners. We both felt the Eggs and Bacon were cooked very well. We also felt since we went around 5:00 PM we missed the golden brunch hour, but if you can't keep your the quality up past brunch just close after service. Service was good. No complaints there! Ambiance was an issue for me because you have to walk through a commercial office space to get in and it smells like antiseptic and sick. This review was my experience and I have no reason to believe this is the norm. If I go back I will update my findings here again.

    Clam chowder
    Cristina L.

    When we first got there it was empty. We sat ourselves down and got menus as it took a bit for anyone to greet us. We browsed the menu and based on past reviews we went with the clam chowder and hamburgers. The meat was so bland. Yes the portions were good and the fries are hand cut but the hamburgers had no flavor what's so ever. We fried the mushroom Swiss burger and the bbq burger. Nothing extraordinary. They charge extra for cheese or am certain veggies on your burger. I had asked for cheese and they forgot to add it on. The clam ch was the only good thing we got this day. The location is nice, but overall it was not what we were expecting.

    My photo is not the greatest however, the service was excellent, and the staff was polite and attentive. I ordered the Rustic Club Sandwich(Pictured) it includes Bacon and turkey, Jack cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. Thick-sliced perfeclty cooked turkey. Tender, flavorful It had the perfect bite to it. My son had the Rustic Burger(pictured in the background), half pound, char-broiled, juicy burger. He loved it! Left only one bite! The Mr gave the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich a go. Grilled chicken breast on a roll, chipotle mayonnaise, Choice of cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Last but not my daughter ordered the large clam chowder so we can all try it. The potatoes were cooked perfectly, the clam's weren't overcooked or tough, and the consistency of the soup was exactly how I like it, creamy and substantial but not too thick.  Also, the ratio of potatoes and clams to soup was perfect. Large portions! The entire experience was wonderful, from the delicious food to the attentive service to the charming ambiance. We will be back!

    Great sandwiches. Shareable but go ahead and be greedy. If you don't finish the whole thing it'll still taste great later.

It's a locals spot, I believe owned by farmers. I highly recommend!! Service was very good!! Ambiance was good, more local vibe which actually was inviting!!

The restaurant was empty when we arrived, the host seated us immediately (but had an attitude when I greeted her). The establishment is large, with plenty of booths and seating available. We were quickly greeted by a kind young man who took our drink orders and gave us a basket of complimentary bread with whipped butter and minced garlic!!! (As someone who LIVES for garlic, I would come back purely for this) What we ordered : Blueberry mule 8/10 - light, refreshing, but didn't really taste like blueberry Classic Margarita 10/10 - my boyfriend said it was one of the best margaritas he's ever had Sweet potato fries 10/10 - crispy, crunchy & great portion sizes!! Spicy spaghetti with chicken 10/10 - great flavor, evenly balanced Fettuccine Alfredo 9/10 - classic, well done Both pastas were served with a side of soup or salad. My boyfriend and I both picked the soup which was a delicious chicken minestrone. Pricing is reasonable, my bill came out of $116 excluding tip, but keep in mind the portion sizes are pretty big and dishes could easily be shared. What really stood out to me though was our server; a beautiful young woman named Katalina, she was an absolute GEM from start to finish!! With a warm welcoming smile she made my boyfriend and I feel so comfortable and really made our experience enjoyable!! She was extremely helpful, grabbing us whatever we needed and stayed attentive. When we come back, we will be requesting to have Katalina as our server & I recommend everyone else do the same!!

Buttermilk salad: There is so much flavor with every bite, tossed with an amazing house-made dressing (don't forget to add their juicy grilled chicken, BOMB!). Spicy fried chicken sandwich: The sauce on the sandwich is perfect for spicy lovers. I am obsessed with the crunch of their fried chicken - mouth watering!! You cannot go wrong with any of the items on their menu. Top tier!!
