Our server Maddie was outstanding on our recent visit. Informative on the menu and the college station area. From VA and have visited numerous steakhouses in the DC area and across our travels. This was by far, one of the most outstanding steaks we have had (filet mignon), and the sides, the cocktails, the service, really top notch. Highly recommend!

About the restaurant

Ronin features elgant farm cuisine with a constantly evolving menu. Set in the beautiful, newly-renovated historic Ice House on Main in downtown Bryan, our restaurant shares an open-air kitchen with our dining room, floor to ceiling exposed brick, and hand-built, suspension tables made from wood salvaged during renovation.

Our menu is updated daily, based on what we have harvested from our garden during that given week. Our farm is located just seven miles from our restaurant. The climate and changing seasons play a major role in what we serve. It is our intention to always provide a variety of menu options and to accommodate any dietary needs.
