The Rusty Face

Cute restaurant with pretty vibes and great dishes. Get a seat by the window it opens up so you get that outdoor breeze .

We loved the zucchini tower and tacos the most but everything was delicious.

The food here is really underwhelming, especially considering the price and portions. I love getting dips with pita, and their almond and feta dips were good but the others were just ok and the hummus didn't really taste like hummus. The lamb was $34 but overcooked & under salted.

The mushroom and zucchini chips were not bad, but nothing I would order again.
The only 2 dishes worth getting were the octopus & the spinach pie! They were pretty good.

Had a great experience here. Staff was super friendly, helpful, and patient. Food was amazing. Drinks were good and overall vibe was great.

Drinks- ordered some dirty martinis and a filthy and they were done perfectly. Had red wine for dinner which was good.

Food. Ordered a few tapas. Octopus was insane and a must order. The Chilean sleeves were so tender and light. Only nit on the starters was the trip spread. I though all were a bit off.

Main was the lamb and also got a side of mushrooms. Both were the stars of the meal and hands down a repeat if And when I go back.

This is a nice hole in the wall, the food was great along with the people who work there.
I loved the Mussels and Shishito Peppers the most but their Calamari is Flavoredddd! I deff recommend anyone to come here !!

Came here for drinks and apps with a few friends.

We got the zucchini chips-very good!

Also the Chilean skewers which needed more salt. It tasted good with the arugula salad it came with but it smelled a bit fishy which threw me off.

The drinks are good!

Wow! Just wandered in off the street for tapas. Food is fabulous! Don't miss the octopus. The shishito pepper were perfectly prepared. The Mediterranean spreads had some unique options, try the hollandaise spread was our favorite. The zucchini chips were thinly sliced and fried perfectly not the mushy mess you get other places.

The servers were excellent!

We'll be back again.

We wandered in at 4pm after walking around Williamsburg. The bar is large and offers a wide range of spirits well lit on wall shelving. The space is filled with art and the bar back splash had an unique projection that mimicked grey stone work. There were two male bartenders working steadily throughout our visit. The Happy Hour is fantastic offering 3 different cocktails for $10 drafts for $7 and $2 blue points. I am a true oyster fan and the dozen I ate were remarkable, fresh, well shucked and bright. We also ordered two orders of fries that were thin cut and lightly seasoned with parmesean and truffle. The trio of Mediterranean dips were served with a heaping basket of pita. And the winner sauteed oyster and shitake mushrooms dressed with olive oil, wow. Our group of three ate and drank very well and enjoyed our bar visit.

We were happy with the outdoor seating here and Jazz on Thursday night- the food was good quality, but overpriced and the menu is a bit odd.

We sat outside in their three sided structure which we were happy with from a COVID airflow perspective and the ambiance was nice.

We all ordered nice quality fish, but expensive for what you get. I ordered the tuna sashimi for about $22 and it was only 4 thin pieces. The other two people with me got the sea bass and while the filet was a good size, it was about $30 and it wasn't served with anything on the side. It was odd because other fish next to it on the menu, like salmon, did come with a vegetable. Your meal just feels incomplete without anything on the side.

Zucchini fries we're very tasty and a good portion. They came with a yummy yogurt dipping sauce.

Overall, I'd go back for a drink and jazz but wouldn't get dinner again unless they rationalize their menu lol

Visited by myself last week Friday at about 5pm to take advantage of their every day happy hour. Got oysters and their octopus. I'm no oyster connoisseur but I eat them a lot and consider them one of my fave dishes - and they were shucked to perfection & super plump. I didn't expect anything special because they were just happy hour special Blue Points but somehow, they hit different here.

Don't even get me started on the octopus - it was AMAZING! Another dish I order at a lot of spots and I have to say, this was one fo the best. The size of the pieces they serve are not too big or small (which is important with octopus) and was SO tender but not slimy at all.

I approached the manager afterwards to give compliments to the chef/ staff/ etc. because the service, food quality, and drinks were all well above my expectations.

I will be coming back soon!!

Food was poor, service was inattentive, and the restaurant setting was dusty, dirty, and generally uncared for. Would not recommend especially because of the options around the area that are so so much better.
