I love going here - great food and very convenient when you are shopping. I usually choose salad, but today I had the Flat Iron Grill Steak which hit the spot. I have always had great service and this Muddled Blackberry Lemonade was amazing!!!!

Lunch outing with coworkers. My first time dining. We had the Brussel sprouts and crab cake appetizers, tomato soup, lobster bisque , grilled cheese, turkey club, and French dip. Our server Che was fantastic! She gave us great recommendations and everything tasted delicious. We also got the bread pudding dessert. Highly recommend!

Ruscello, a hidden gem. I have lived in the ATL, off and on for 12 years total and I visit 2-3 times a year. We always stay in the Perimeter area. Met up with a great friend, for lunch, and she suggested Ruscello. Why have I never eaten here before? it was very quiet, a little fancy, with excellent service... and an amazing Wild Salmon Nicoise Salad (recommended by my friend). That's her "go to" at Ruscello. We were not rushed, it wasn't crammed so not too peopley, and we were able to dine, at a slow pace, and enjoy great conversation and an amazing lunch. Next trip, AFTER a mini shopping spree, at Nordstrom, I'll treat my husband to Ruscello's where can unwind, enjoy a great meal with an amazing bottle of wine. Nordstrom, please never ever close Ruscello or this Nordstrom location.. Props to the chef, kitchen, our server, management and everyone else that it takes to keep Ruscello perfectly amazing. Bravo!

One of my favorite spots when visiting the Atlanta area. Amazing service ALWAYS and not to mention the food is always perfect. Vanessa and every person I’ve ever encountered working here are beyond professional. They make you feel like you’re at a 5-star restaurant. Thank you for all your hard work as a team and for my making my monthly trip to Atlanta a pleasant one!
