    The overall experience was excellent. It was our first time visiting. The host staff was very friendly. Our server Brad was wonderful. He gave us excellent recommendations. He was the best, he checked on us often. I will ask for him again. The managers came to our table to check on us too. I can’t wait to visit again.

    Wanted to love the new Rye Street Tavern but unfortunately it just didn't hit the mark. Our server was very nice and was giving a lot of effort in providing good service, but the rest of the service was subpar. I was given the wrong drink and a different server delivering the drink said it was "close enough." We had multiple items never delivered and service was overall slow. Our server definitely seemed overstretched. The food was good but not great. Nothing to write home about but wasn't bad by any means. With the number of amazing restaurants in Baltimore, this wouldn't be at the top of my list.

    Lunch at Rye Street. Oddly enough the room smelled like weed when we were seated. Probably just a fluke. Service was excellent, good food.

    We made reservations and were sat quickly. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was good, but not great. I ordered the chicken sandwich was warm, but not hot. My guest ordered the scallops and grits that she said was delicious.

    The service was great and the ambiance were beautiful! The pasta, fries, and hot wings were tasty, just ask them to fry the wings crispy. The cocktails were really good! The bread pudding was the winner! Best I’ve had in Baltimore hands down. Would definitely go back.

    Beyond amazing. Sharon was the best server ever. She made the experience memorable. Food was outstanding and did not disappoint. The butternut squash soup with marshmallows was decadent. The squash pasta was even better. The boots with the fir warmed me up on a cold night. Key lime pie was the best I've had in a while!
