Rush Street

Great cheeseburger and a fantastic happy hour. Love it!

In the past I have been patron of Rush Street, and have enjoyed it thoroughly. Thus, I decided to celebrate my birthday there with my Mom and friends last night. Needless to say, I had the most hideous appalling experience of my life. I

I've recently jumped on the Rush Street wagon! Living in Santa Monica, it's hard to motivate me off or Main Street, but once I stepped into Rush I felt like I had found a something a little different.

As you walk in you are greeted by a

Pros: Friendly & Good looking Staff & Customers

Arguably the best bar in Culver City. This is a good place if you want a happening bar where you can mingle with other well off people without feeling like you are at a frat party. The beer and wine selections are great and the outdoor

Pros: The food here is very well done

Cons: Can be pricey but you are paying for the atmosphere

Cool upstairs area where you can get your groove on...

Pros: Vibe

I came here for my best friends dinner last December when they had their holiday pre-fix menu. We all had their steak w/ frittes, seafood chowder, and apple pie. All delicious. I had to unbuckle my belt as soon as I got into the car

Pros: Excellent Pre-fix menu

Cons: nothing

I recently went to Rush Street and had a disappointing experience. I was choosing to not go again when management expressed their apologies and invited me to give Rush Street another try.

My second experience was delightful! The food was

Pros: Friendly servers, delicious mac n' cheese

Cons: Attitudes of bartenders

Rush street is supposed to be a happening new spot, but its got some serious flaws.

First of all, its not a bar or club. Its a restaurant. They're upstairs "club" atmosphere is ridiculous. They won't let you upstairs unless you're on

Pros: Valet Parketing

Cons: Rude staff, not enough bars

I agree with everyone who has complained about the service. Been there 3 times -- restaurant, patio, and lounge upstairs -- and the service has been horrible or mediocre at best. Rude staff and even worse hostess. Despite ordering

Pros: valet right in front

Cons: everything else

Great place for a birthday; decorated really nice, drinks are good, they are accommodating (at least for my party). Food isn't so great if you're planning a dinner there. It's overpriced and small portions. The best there is probably

Pros: Great atmosphere

Cons: The food

I agree with others who say that the staff are certainly not service-oriented. Bartenders act as if they are too good to acknowledge and serve you. Servers can be all right, though it's h it and miss. We enjoyed our blonde, tatted girl

Pros: extensively good liquor selection

Cons: arrogant bartenders and greasy food

This place has a deplorable front of house operation and no grasp on basic customer service standards. My friends and I reserved a table to watch the Lakers game and have dinner. We spent several hundred dollars. As we were paying our

Cons: Customer service from management

My friend and I went here for drinks and ordered pizza only to be informed that the bartender had not gotten our order in before the kitchen closed. The manager apologized and comped our next round of beers, which was very thoughtful.

Pros: Good Patio

Cons: Loud Music

Well they do have a great turkey sandwich but I was not impressed with the stripper pole hidden in the back of the restaurant. The place echoes at lunch when no one is there and they refuse to do anything different to your order - like if

Pros: Great Turkey Sandwich

Cons: atmosphere, echos

Was very excited to check out the Restaurant with a friend, but, the minute we sat down at the bar, we were greeted with a scowl from the Bartender. We tried to cheer him up by making a little joke to lighten up the situation, but was

Pros: Interesting cocktails

Cons: Horrible service

It's a shame. This could be a really great place. But the best atmosphere and food can't make up for horrible service. (not that it has the best food or atmosphere either)\r

Went here for a friend's b-day. As a large party, they told us

Pros: Eh?

Cons: Service, staff, food, choice of music.

I'm not sure what the other reviewers are complaining about, but I have never had a problem with Rush Street and I've only gone on Friday and Saturday nights! If the service was a little slow, it's because the place was so packed it was

Pros: Great dessert, waiters are charming and attractive, cute restaurant

Cons: It's a little loud, can be crowded and you're going to have to wait if you don't make a reservation

I've been to Rush Street 3 times. \r

- August 21, 2008 I went with a large group on a week night for happy hour. No complaints. Good food, drinks and service. \r

Pros: Good Appetizers

Cons: SERVICE!

Being a native of Chicago and then relocating to Southern Cal, there is a special connection to this restaurant and bar. I love the decorum inside, and the ambience of being there. The food is so good and strongly Chicago-influenced. Thank

Last night I went to Rush Street for the third time and I have to say, this place gets better and better every time. The variety of culinary styles on the menu help cater to all food preferences. In addition to traditional, safe dishes

Pros: ambience, culinary creativity, service

Cons: couldn't find the bathroom (more my fault than the restaurant's)

...And I LOVED the food here, most notably the beef sliders & my entree, the steak frittes. I'm a stickler for price; it can always be less expensive and I can always have more on my plate, but the food here was definitely worth the price

Pros: The food, the atmosphere

Cons: Parking

Does anyone know how to pour this beer properly?? you pour half, then pour the other half. i should have to wait a minute for my beer and not 3 seconds for the glass to fill up and u hand it to me. It seems pretty popping but the food is

I've given this place two chances, and it has failed. The drinks taste watered down. If I order a Guiness, it should take more than 5 seconds to pour from the tap. The staff need to be more attentive and please, this is Culver City, NOT

Pros: Potential.

Cons: Drinks. Service. Smell. Snobby. Prentious

some friends and i went there for a few drinks...the place had a funny smell when we entered...the upstairs lounge was about 85 degrees...the drink i ordered was supposed to be a pear martini, but was bright red and tasted like cherry

Pros: design, ambience

Cons: drinks, service

I can?t remember the last time I was this disappointed by a restaurant or its staff. \r

I went with a small group, 4 people in total, for a friend's birthday brunch. We had a reservation and called in advance to order a desert with a

Pros: decent food, but nothing special

Cons: terrible service - i had to clear up my own table while the waiter chatted with the other staff

Be careful of this place! Tips get changed around! 3s, 6s and 5s get turned into 8s.... 1s become 7s... Check and keep your receipts, you never know when some bartender is upping their tips.

Pros: N/A

Cons: Bartenders

You walk into this place and it feels like a real cool gastro pub with some cool beers and probably a good menu. Although I did not try the menu (was there on Saturday night for drinks), the food looked great. There is a lot of different

Pros: Beer selection, Menu, Location

Cons: No identity, random stripper pole, music is too loud

Went on a thursday night and was seated promptly with a group. Had a very attentive server. Entrees were... uninspiring. The mac and cheese was the only bright spot. Humus was strange. The decor seemed a bit confused. sports bar? hipster

My best friend and I were driving around and literally HAPPENED upon Rush Street last wknd. We had no clue all of this new work had been done over in Culver City so we were both very excited to see all the new and wonderful things that

We sat upstairs on the back patio. People were smoking all around us with no regards for the people around them. The crowd was pretty trashy but not as bad the deep dish pizza. The server was aloof and disinterested in our table. Although,

Pros: good drinks

Cons: the crowd

Absolutely brutal! The upstairs bartender who is clearly a bitter out of work actor refused to make a proper vodka soda but had no problem taking our change and keeping it for himself as tip. The ownership is also stealing from everyone

Pros: decent crowd

Cons: drinks are BS

Great space, but loud. Wasn't a big fan of the fact that the hostess sat us at the absolute worst table when the restaurant was not even half full. We were seated promptly @ 7:00 and everyone was very nice but they sat us at a table that

Pros: interesting wine list

Cons: bad desserts

We tried Rush Street a few weeks ago and had a pretty good experience. The service was slow but the food was AMAZING! We had the tuna tataki nachos, BBQ pork sliders and the calamari. Everything was cooked perfectly! We figured that maybe

Pros: The food

Cons: Everything else...

OK, So my friends and I decided to check out the new place Rush St on Wednesday and we love the space. We loved the music and can't wait to come back when there is a DJ. This place is so pleasing to the eye the designers should be

Pros: Big space, something for everybody

Cons: Not closer to my house
