Rustic Root’s menu showcases a dynamic rustic American cuisine rooted in tradition, yet with an inventive modern flare. The signature drink menu offers a take on timeless classic cocktails as well as Rustic Root originals using creative spirits and the freshest ingredients. A full dining room boasts of eclectic flare: from a ceiling filled with floating colanders to chic nature-inspired wall art and décor. If it’s San Diego views you want, head upstairs to the Gaslamp’s premier rooftop restaurant. Animal hedges, beautiful streetlamps, and not-your-mama’s patio furniture create a buzz-worthy and energetic atmosphere.
