Reviews for Rustic House Oyster Bar and Grill/San Carlos in San Carlos, CA

Rustic House is great! Good food, friendly staff. It’s HUGE inside and they have a bunch of covered outdoor seating as well. I... went for lunch and it wasn’t crowded at all. Highly recommend! Glad I checked this place out. Read more

Drinks and food good. Happy hour has $2 oyster. The bartender was hard to find and we sat at the bar. I will go again though and... give it another shot. Read more

Happy hour here was great! Got some apps and then hella $2 buck oysters. Fried veggies was very filling and that wasabi ranch is... hella offensive... but I liked it. Ceviche was decent but I wish the shrimp was a little less cooked in the acid. Oysters,though, was not bad for $2 so can't complain! Food: 6/10 Service: 5/10 Vibes: 7/10 Value: 6/10 Read more

Made reservations for party of 11 for Saturay night. I was pleasantly surprised that there was live music. The place was very... lively and had good ambiance. The rib eye was super tender. Nicely cooked to medium rare and asparagus was flavorful, tenderand NOT overcooked. Totally worth the price. Cioppino was good. There was a lot of fish, shrimp was perfectly cooked, therewas supposed to be Crab but we didn't notice any. Also the was Pasta in it, which was unexpected for cioppino but that's not abad thing. Rustic House Pasta was really good. The Clams, mussels, and shrimp were perfect with the delicious wine sauce. Not much more to say about it except I finished it promptly. The kumiai oysters were fantastic! 1 dozen shared with 3 people.We ate it pretty fast. The best part is that they were free! Sign up on Facebook messenger to redeem your dozen freeoysters! Our waiter was very attentive and checked back often. In fact, the entire wait staff with check when they walked by. It's like we got the VIP treatment. Read more

Had a very nice lunch on a Saturday afternoon. There was a bit of a wait but we got seated outside in the back which had a cozy... informal vibe, nice blues selection playing. Seafood was very good, bowl of chowder and a lobster roll. We didn’t haveTabasco sauce on the table but that’s a sign of the times. COVID protocols were definitely being followed, possibly why therewas a wait. We will be back again. Read more

Fantastic fish and chips. Three very large pieces very tasty fish great batter. Coleslaw it is sweet a bit of fruit in it. The... fries are very tasty very tender inside crispy outside. Tartar sauce was pretty good as well. Oh and the coffee was darn good. Read more

Delicious food. We ordered raw oysters, fried calamari, ceviche, New England clam chowder, and beer. Nice beer selection. Good... service. I’ll go back if I’m ever in town again. Read more

Amazing food and awesome service. There is extensive indoor and outdoor seating. Patio dining? No worries about the cold, heat... lamps will keep it cozy. The food here is super delicious. For appetizers, we had oysters, calamari, ceviche and the garlicbread. Calamari and oysters were so good, we had to order more. Clam chowder was one of the best we’ve had in awhile. Thepasta cioppino was cooked perfectly al dente and the flavor was spot on. Lots of seafood. Fish and burger was very flavorfuland excellent texture. Only think I would skip are the desserts. Those were meh. We happily rolled out of there and willcertainly be back. Read more
