Not worth the time or money!! Culver's had better customer service. Understaffed, hostess and server were not very friendly. Two hours and 40 minutes for three couses. Nobody seemed to know what was going on? Once orders were placed nobody came by to refill drinks or ask if we needed anything. After the second course we waited 40 minutes for the last, did not get it till after I had asked the hostess. So upset by then I just asked to get the bill and leave, that took another 10 minutes. Towards the end all 8 tables in our section were complaining about the incompetence and poor service.

The cost of Thanksgiving dinner was $52 per person. The first course we chose lobster bisque that smelled and tasted awful. We sent it back and got salads instead. The waiter brought me a Cesar salad instead of the beet salad as I had requested. I let that go since it was taking so long to get our food. The second course was good, turkey with dressing and mashed potatoes were good but green beans barely passable. The desserts were good but a very small portion. The waiter was nice, but I noticed a family who arrived after us had been served their meal ahead of us. This was not a great experience.

I get that it was a holiday but service was really not great. Plates taken away while being eaten from, forever to get water refill. And then the lobster bisque was awful and had to be sent back. Way too expensive prix fixe menu for that quality level.

Despite a well attended jazz festival, the restaurant was partially filled with - not a good sign. Thought it might be price-sensitivity of the older crowd so stayed. Cocktails excellent - much better than at the only other bar where they were served exclusively in disposable plastic (not good for a Manhattan). Waiter was amiable and gave good advice on what was shareable. He and the other 2 servers were a bit slow given how sparse the crowd. Appetizers - Caesar salad in a Parmesan bowl and an unusual calamari - were okay. Calamari was a bit burnt. Shared a rigatoni dish - fine. Room service omelette, on the other hand was quite good and on time. Not sure if Rusty’s prepares it but wanted to add to be fair.

I had looked on the website menu and it was different when I sat down to order. I was disappointed in that respect, because they did not have the items that I wanted. The food that I settled on was good. The wait staff was very friendly and efficient.

Food was amazing! Staff was perfect and hats off to Jason Stiger who was the most professional manager I've ever met. I owned a restaurant before so I'm picky. I would highly recommend Rustys at Sheraton Sand Key. Walter our server extremely professional. Highly recommend Tim Shellabarger
