Rune

This was our second visit. Dining on a cold, snowy Thursday evening at Rune was exceptional! The four of us were warmly welcomed, and seated promptly. The dining area is casually appointed, yet very inviting. Our servers were efficient, knowledgeable of the menu, friendly yet not at all intrusive, and checked back with us re: our satisfaction or needs throughout the meal. Our food was outstanding! Started the evening sharing the kimchi fritters. Very crispy, tasty exterior with an almost creamy filling. The citrus agave dipping sauce was the perfect accompaniment. The four of us each tried, and shared with each other a bite of, four different entrees (each pictured below) : the short rib agnolotti; the pork collar with leeks, fennel, and mustard vinaigrette; the very unique lion's mane mushroom with rutabaga puree, spinach, and poached egg; and the rigatoni with butternut squash, bleu cheese, and sage. Each couple shared a piece of beet cake dessert (not pictured), with a warm almost caramel-like sauce and it was one of the best desserts ever! Not too sweet. Very moist. Very delicious! Would recommend this restaurant, and encourage anyone to try it! Sean is an excellent, talented, innovative executive chef! His sous chef, Kody, does a great job too!

Are you kidding me with these reviews?! A+ gold star! Let's just start with one thing. Service was outstanding. Couldn't beat it. I accidentally scheduled our reservation for the next day, no problem, they got us right in. A nice little wine list, mocktails available as well. Love that. I love the menu, it's smaller, but still very easy to choose from. It's as easy as this, small, medium and larger plates. It's made to share. It's perfect if you ask me. The chicken wings, no joke, chefs kiss! They were crispy and fell off the bone. Better yet, they were packed full of flavor! Seriously, some crazy ass reviews about Rune. It's new, so I can understand some of the hiccups, but this food is absolutely fabulous. If you didn't give this beautiful space 5 stars , go back. This place rocks. Keep it up. We will gladly be back!

We went to Rune tonight for dinner. And some of these reviews do not do Rune Justice. Absolutely amazing! First the cocktails. I started with the Rocky Hollow, it was like the best black raspberry margarita (minus the salt)! Then the Bicentennial Woods, omg the best whiskey cocktail drink I've had, by far. It was like frolicking in the woods all in my mouth, so good! So glad the waitress recommended to try it. Then the food! we started out with appetizers of the chicken wings and spicy cucumbers. The wings were a perfect balance of crunchy, savory, and sweet. And the cucumbers were so fresh, spicy, and delicious. My partner ordered the pork belly with vegetables and I ordered the creamy lemony rigatoni with mushrooms and bacon (to die for). I'm not a big mushroom guy but this put mushrooms on a whole other level! This is by far my new favorite, and can't wait for our next visit!!

This place was fantastic!! The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and my drink was absolutely delightful.

Great Food, Service and atmosphere. Indoor and patio seating. The menu was creative, casual and fun!

Came here after the news featured them saying the owner had worked at the oyster bar and Jospeh Decius. I would say his portion sizes were on par with Jospeh Decius. We came in for breakfast. When you order a breakfast plate you get zero sides. Like only an omelet, only a biscuit and gravy, only a breakfast sandwich. So when you see your plate you're going to think, "is this it?" They are not making up for the lack of sides with a huge main entree either. You would get a bigger omelet at Bob Evan. The flavors were not bad but a bit strange. The flavors compare with junk ditch breakfast. We need to go back for dinner and make our final decision about the place. Tolon has a much better brunch.

Closed. All the windows covered. No phone. They should update the websites so people don't waste time driving out there.

The restaurant is nice but it's too loud. The menu is very limited and quite expensive. The portions are small. I'd only consider going back if they broaden the menu and find a way to calm the noise. Not impressed and rather disappointed.

We went on Mother's Day based on the online menu. When we arrived, they had a brunch menu and every dish included eggs, not my wife's favorite. She decided to order the biscuit sandwich, biscuit, scrambled egg, cheese, bacon and rhubarb jam. It was served on a white dinner plate and it was just the biscuit sandwich. It looked bland, dull and kind of lost on the plate. There was no color really. My wife thought it tasted fine, but a little more attention to presentation could make it look so much more appetizing.I had a marinated flank steak with roasted asparagus, two sunny side eggs and a sauce. It was delicious. The asparagus was roasted just right, the flank steak tender and flavorful finished to a medium to medium rare and the eggs were cooked to be just runny enough that they were not dry but not messy either. Portion size seemed small for the $30+ price of this entree. The asparagus did offer a little color, but again, there was no at temp at proper plating to enhance the appearance of the dish.We had heard good things about the carrot tea cake with butterscotch and decided to split an order for dessert. The cake came looking like a dark brown brick sitting on a white plate. The butterscotch sauce was only on the top of the cake and kind of got lost in the brown on brown color scheme. There was some flake salt on top which was a nice touch against the sweet butterscotch. The cake was served warm and it was quite good, but that goodness was lost amid the drab and boring presentation.Service was good. Noise level was not too bad. The atmosphere is sparse, brick walls with no adornment.I think Rune has potential, but they need to pay more attention to the aesthetics of the dining experience which either detract or enhance a sense of enjoyment and value.i

Fun spot, friendly service, delicious food, and fantastic cocktails. Highly recommend!
