It is a very popular place to eat from what our hosts told us and it was very busy the night we came here to eat. We had called ahead of time to see if we could get in (most places seemed to require reservations) and whether it was a casual place or more dressy. We were told casual, but that means something completely different to the restaurants and people in Bermuda than what we are used to.
I wore a polo with khakis and my partner wore dress jeans with a nice long sleeve shirt, however when we walked in we felt instantly under dressed as all the other men were in dress shirts and pants while the ladies wore really nice dresses and even the kids were dressed up!
They had an excellent menu to choose from and while my partner's food was fantastic (pizza, I think it was brick fired), I had a completely different experience. The steak I ordered only had about 5 edible bites to it, the rest was very fatty. I can say that my sides were delicious and enjoyed them very much.
I wasn't charged for my dinner and I appreciated them doing it, especially since I wasn't going to ask and it was pretty expensive. That shows they have good customer service and respect their patrons.
I'm trying to figure out how people look so nice with their hair in place, clothes not wrinkled and generally not messy when they use scooters to get around. And while I know they drive actual cars and share rides, there were a lot of scooters there they night. I need the...
Read moreHi there, Chris and I or should I say my husband and I just spent our honeymoon in Bermuda!! Well I never thought that would happen ?? It hasn't really changed since I was here 25 years ago ?? Great weather, great people, great sense of humour, beautiful island etc etc ! As usual though the places to eat that I knew about before were all gone except for some old traditions like the Swizzle inn, or Tom Moore's tavern etc. We were recommended a new Restaurant called Rustico in Flatts Village where we were staying. Our first night we went there and had a fantastic time, what a great find, the GM Greg was so cool and happy to see us even though they were really busy ! 2nd time was even busier but we got a table for 2 just in time ! 3rd time our last night too busy on a Monday night but we were offered a place at the bar ? Fine by us !! Great meal, best Calamari I have ever eaten, great host The GM Greg was amazing we had such a great night it made our trip !! This was the real change I felt in Bermuda a different generation was in place and you could feel it what a great place to eat ! Worth the journey wherever you are, better than anything in Hamilton !! Lucky for us it was virtually next...
Read moreUnderwhelming meal left me deflated, and hungry. Ordered the Cannelloni. Described in the menu as a ‘tube pasta’ but arrived in lasagne form in a small baking dish. My host said to the waiter that I had ordered a main not a starter and the waiter replied that it was “very filling”. Condescension aside I would try it’s homemade quality…a good mix of ricotta and spinach, but perhaps the sous chef could wash the spinach a bit better next time? The flavor was ok but the portion was measly as was the lasagne my son had ordered which arrived in a small cereal bowl. My wife ordered the ravioli which had a lobster filling which was good, but the pasta gave new meaning to ‘al denté’. Overall the experience was embarrassing for my host (probably the last time he will eat here) and for us. The atmosphere was good and staff reasonably friendly (albeit patronising when referring to my cannelloni) but the whole experience left me underwhelmed and hungry. Disappointing considering the prices. If you work hard for your money, do not...
