| 5 repliesThe Rushton
Like a fashion designer who wears only a black turtleneck and jeans, the exterior of the just-opened Rushton is deliberately antistyle. Sporting a simple brick façade and a bold, block letter sign, only the restaurant’s vast wrap-around windows hint at hidden riches. Only a visit allows a closer study of the juicy detail squeezed into this new resto-lounge.
Considering the handling of the exterior of what was previously the Di Maria Market, The Rushton’s interior is long removed from the original depictions of the long-standing fruit store: Frank Lloyd Wright-ish, rock-layered walls, hardwood floors and a large service bar now replace what was a drab room with aisles of produce. Heavy wooden chairs – some antique, some new, some gallery-ish – bare tables and the host station (a butcher block left behind from the original store) showcase archetypal touches that underline the room’s new geometrical motif.

1Oh what has happened to the Rushton? Once great food has now turned barely adequate with overly greasy fries gracing the tough steak. I keep going back hoping that the food will go back to it's greatness of the early days but with no luck.
Bye bye Rushton. posted by Elisa 635 days ago 2The Rushton has a great atmosphere. The food is not consistent, I have been there many times and understand that you will build a clientele with consistency. I would also like to see some more seafood dishes as well. The Rushton is still a restaurant in it's early stages of becoming a jewel on St. Clair.

It is definately not for the lame, or cronic complainers who need to feel important. It has substance, a mixed crowd. Reminds me of going out in Chicago on a monday it's busy.!!
the fish fry is so tasty and i don't feel quilty indulging on the sweet potatoe fries. The staff was accommadating and interested. i'll be back to a brand new experience. ciao for now. posted by CHARRO 514 days ago 4THIS IS BEEN A GREAT SPOT FOR ME. IT'S CHIC AND A VERY HIP CROWD.THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH RUSHTON ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY INSECURE AND DON'T BELONG THERE ANYWAYS. GREAT FOOD , COOL CROWD,GOOD AMBIEANCE, WHAT MORE DOES ONE ASK FOR? posted by Romeo Lewis 150 days ago 5The only good thing here is the salmon...the owner is a little arrogant (sometimes he says hi and sometimes he doesn't look at you) and so are the staff. They placed the wrong order for one of my appetizer's and they looked at me as if it was my fault and that i had to eat it because it was already made!! I gave this place a chance 3 times with no luck. posted by Nikita 103 days ago | |
