THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Rushmore Restaurant Review:

Rushmore is celebrating the return of chef Ryan McCaskey, who took time off to work at restaurants like Trio, Tru and Tizi Melloul; his menu focuses on contemporary interpretations of classic American cuisine. The setting is pleasant (though the Lake Street “L” train does rattle the bar glasses when it goes by), the service is terrific and the enjoyment factor high. Atmosphere is low-key with the bar up front, brick walls, hardwood floors, and paper-over-cloth on the tables. We recommend the beet salad with goat cheese and balsamic vinaigrette, salmon with lime beurre blanc and a grilled pork chop with apple cider creamed corn and roasted fingerling potatoes. Service is proficient and enlightened. The wine list is somewhat sparse, but there are enough good choices to handle anything on the menu.
