    Another amazing dinner. I really like Rye Street. Great oysters, crab dip is delicious and the rockfish I have had it 3 times now. I hope it stays on the menu, but I think the menu changes seasonally, so hurry and get one, but I am sure another great dish will replace it!

    Showed up 45min early for reservation. Let them know we would be in the bar until then. At reserved time, we were seated back in the bar. Requires standard table when resi booked, but bar table was a high top. Service was from bartender who was busy with the bar. Quite disappointed with seating and service.

    The service was exceptional and the food was beyond what we could ask for. The kids meals for $9.99 were far beyond what was expected and the filet and ribeye we got were just fantastic. Everything was more than we could ask for.

    Me and my girlfriend had a much pleasurable time at Rye Street Tavern for Valentine’s Day. It was a packed house. The place is beautiful and the ambience is amazing. The servers were awesome as well. We really enjoyed ourselves. The food was prepared beautifully and was delicious. The steaks wasn’t made to our liking, but it was good for the most part. Thank you for a great opportunity for us to create memories together. We will be back soon especially when it gets hot outside.
