    We had to wait at least 30 minutes or more before the server gave us water and bread. I honestly thought she had forgotten about us. Turns out they were short staffed and she was handling too many customers at a time. My order wasn’t right (ordered chicken but got fish). This is the second time this has happened. I love Cooper’s Hawk but y’all need to get yourselves together

    We love the variety and flavor, both in cocktails and menu. We visit often because they have a kids menu, perfect for our toddler. She devoured their kids pizza and ice cream and for this reason the restaurant is one of our favs! The service people are attentive, kind and friendly. We're fans of the piñata cocktail, aguacate salad, calabaza, and the fish tacos. For dessert, the nieve frito is delicious.

    Really amazing service and food. We had drinks and appetizers before going to the Arts Center including the Serbian bread and a plate with speck and burrata and everything was delicious. It’s such a pretty room with a great soundtrack and atmosphere and the service was so personal. It was one of the top restaurant experiences I’ve probably ever had.

    I had visited Rustico's original location on Lake Street in Oak Park when it first opened. I was not impressed. My family and I checked out the Oak Park Avenue location last night and I was in for a very pleasant surprise. This is a completely different, wonderful restaurant! All of our dishes were top notch and the service was very attentive. Also, it was completely full of diners. Obviously, my neighbors have been on to a great thing before I was. I'll definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely evening, Rustico!
