Review of Rustic Canyon Wine Bar

Cozy dining experience with fantastic chef inspired dishes that were elegantly hand crafted seemingly just for us! The place was packed at 9:15, but we had a reservation and were seated shortly. The staff was amazing; we were impressed by the knowledge and friendliness of everyone while remaining professional. The wine suggested by the bartender was superb. I may have had a bordeaux while wr were waiting for our table to be ready. When seated and ordered, I started with a salad of fresh lettuces. It had a nice light dressing and radishes. It was the best salad I've eaten of this style. My husband had a kabocha for an appetizer/starter dish and it was amazing. The butternut squash puree was perfect as well as the accompanying seasoning. For the main course I had the sea bass which was prepared so well I did not detect any fishiness that is often present in not so fantatstic fish. Needless to say, I was impressed. For dessert (I splurged) I had a lemon tart? It was amazing. We also tried the house made ice cream... If you go, either one is worth the trip. I highly recommend this place. I can say nothing bad at all.
