    It is so awesome to have The Rusted Cactus and Xetava when we go to an event at the Kayenta Center for the Arts. We love the new items you are adding to the menu-the new salad is great!

    Pretty bad experience. They took our booking for 7:30 PM and informed us that they were closing at 8:00. They seated us at 7:30 and nobody came to take an order until 7:45. They brought all of the food out at the same time and then started rolling up the sidewalks to close the place down. So classy. Just don’t take 7:30 reservations if you’re going to do this. Also, there were tons of open tables available when we arrived, even though Open Table showed it as fully booked. We would have taken an earlier if they had the good sense to offer it on Open Table.

    Thank you for your feedback. This is not the experience we aim to provide we have clairified with our team that, while our last seating is at 8:00pm, that does not mean we close at 8:00pm. Any guest who comes in at or prior to last seating should be able to enjoy a normally paced service and not feel rushed through their meal, and we will ensure that this standard is upheld moving forward. As for reservation offerings, while we would love to have more availiblity for reservations, we do have to account for the possibility of bad weather, longer table turn times, and the limitiations of our small kitchen. That said if you give us a call at 435-656-0165 and press 2 during Rusted Cactus open hours we will be happy let you know our current availiblity.

    Unique and delicious food. Preparation and service outstanding. Beautiful cocktails, as well! One of the best and certainly the most interesting meals we have had in St. George.

    Not the same place as it was 6 months ago. Hopefully chef was having a bad night. Hope new ownership figures it out.

    Food was impeccable. Music suited the space perfectly and was quiet. Service was very diligent but we felt rushed through out: presenter drink rushed into an appetizer followed immediately by pasta dinners and then during our meal we were asked what we wanted for dessert. We hadn’t finished eating out meal yet! I’ve never experienced that before. He was a very pleasant waiter but needs to learn to let people enjoy the experience. 3.5 out of 5.
