What People Are Saying About Rush Street
The Editor

In Short – Culver City's hip foodie energy fuels another dining den, this time paying tribute to Chicago's famous party street--and also filling a gaping nightlife void. Dinner draws neighborhood families, artists and a savvy Sony crowd chatting it up among the lofty two-story room of exposed brick, leather booths, and larger-than-life contemporary art. A Chicago-style spin on the American gastropub turns out roasted marrow bones, seared sand dabs, lamb chops and brick oven pizzas, as well as tempting bar bites like dry aged beef sliders and truffle asiago fries. After 10pm, DJs make it…

Give them a chance for redemption
by KatieAimee at Citysearch
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 delicious, service timely, and their mac n' cheese was a little bite of heaven. Our server, Adam, was personable, attentive and knowledgeable.
Anytime you dine out you run the risk of receiving poor service. However, I recommend giving Rush street a first or second chance if you're in the Culver City area.
My friends and family will definitely be back. Thanks Rush Street!
- Pros: Friendly servers, delicious mac n' cheese
- Cons: Attitudes of bartenders

Skip Rush Street.
by JonSoleymani at Citysearch
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 some list! I'm already IN the place, but upstairs is for reserved people only. So they have a bouncer checking some made-up list!
When you get upstairs, its cramped, stuffy, the couches are uncomfortable, and there isn't enough room to actually GET to the bar to order! The drinks are WAY expensive, too!
Go there for dinner, but if you plan to hang out at the "club" section, get there early. We got there at 9:15 on a saturday night, and they gave us attitude. In fact, they didn't want to let the Birthday-girl in, and said they're full upstairs! She reserved two tables!!!
- Pros: Valet Parketing
- Cons: Rude staff, not enough bars

Horrible waitstaff, even worse hostess
by brutusvladimir at Citysearch
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 appetizers, drinks, entrees, and desserts, we were told to leave because we had been there over 2 hours.
Why are people still going here when the service is so awful? There are lots of places in LA and Culver City w/good food and good service. Don't waste your time here w/ok food and horrible service.
- Pros: valet right in front
- Cons: everything else
The Details on Rush Street
The Extras:
Smokers will love the rooftop patio that doesn't discriminate against buttheads.
Where to Sit:
The booths at the back of the restaurant and along the walls afford a little more intimacy, while the sleek bar tables put you in the middle of the action. The sidewalk patio is a great spot for people-watching, especially on weekends.
