Arrived at 2pm for a late lunch and the place was so clean! That was my first impression! It was only better from there! The owner/chef greeted us and explained the meaning since we are not familiar with Brazilian foods. Let me say- it was awesome! The place is perfect for a date night or business dinner and even a family thing like we were doing. We selected two appetizers- cheese bread and crispy pork belly. New items for us and very good! Then we ordered our entrees. I can’t pass up anything with a good short rib and the risotto was perfection. My husband went for the chefs recommendation of a true Brazilian favorite and he polished it off. What a great experience and we highly recommended it.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Rustic 21 Bistro was fantastic. The pork belly appetizer was delicious. Costela Bovina with Parmesan risotto was very tender, and the Picanha Top Sirloin Rustica melted in your mouth. Gracious staff fit us in without a reservation. Highly recommend.
