About the restaurant

Enjoy the panoramic view of large oaks and a rolling stream from the many window-side tables, or the large, starlight deck. Or, savor the intimate atmosphere from a comfortable sofa, and in the winter, the warmth of a crackling fireplace.

Ryan's Chef creates a tantalizing selection of appetizers such as jumbo lump crabmeat, steamed mussels in garlic butter and white wine, and oysters Rockefeller. Entrees range from thick, juicy steaks and prime rib to the finest grilled fresh fish and live Maine lobster. Choose from the menu or a superb selection of specials offered nightly. Add a cappuccino and a freshly made dessert to seal the dining experience.

The restaurant has been locally owned and under the same management since 1981. Ryan's has been awarded the Wine Spectator's "Award of Excellence" and is often featured in national publications. Recently awarded the DiRoNa Award for Distinctive Fine Dining.

Please refer to our website for our dress code. It is enforced nightly.

Ryan’s was the most pleasurable eating experience I have had. From the moment we entered the front door it was amazing. The wait staff was top notch and we had a window seat with an amazing tranquil view. Our She Crab and French Onion soups were terrific. And the steaks with grilled onions side were unbelievable. I can’t wait to go back again!

About the restaurant

North Carolina chef and restaurateur, Jim Noble founded Rooster’s: A Noble Grille with the intention of being relevant without being trendy and to impress without being pretentious. That commitment has carried us through two decades and continues to lead us on today.

Knowing that simple food is harder to execute given there is nowhere to hide the flaws, we go to great lengths to source quality ingredients from local farmers and purveyors. We then take all the time necessary to develop their flavors —using both European and modern techniques—always working from scratch.

Our menu features tried and true staples like our spit-roasted chicken cooked over open fire as well as progressive daily specials and elevated Small Plates featuring Executive Chef Brad Pennell. At Rooster’s, you’ll always find something new served with an honest commitment and consistently warm care.

Absolutely delightful experience at Cibo Trattoria! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless: easy parking, a last-minute Saturday reservation for two, and we were warmly welcomed without any hassle. The food was outstanding - every dish was fresh and flavorful. You can taste the quality in every bite. The service was just as impressive: quick, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making the whole evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great Italian cuisine. We’ll definitely be back!
