A great morning brunch for mother days. Close call since the power sent out but they got it back to save the morning

Saturday night was my first experience dining at Rye. We started with fresh oysters, which my guys had never had, so we ordered the lightly grilled ones from PEI. They were absolutely delicious and I could have sat and eaten two dozen of them myself. They were briney, smokey, sweet, and perfectly seasoned with what tasted like just a hint of soy and lemon. I will dream about these oysters. Our cocktails were freshly made for us, and the special drink of the night was delicious and dangerous. We followed the oysters up with Wedge salads. They were very generous with the volume of salad- it was more like a full half of a head of lettuce, split in half on the plate, versus a standard wedge of lettuce. It was one of the best variations of a wedge I've had. It was amply dressed with plenty of Bleu cheese, pickled red onions, grape tomatoes and that delicious brown sugar bacon. I ate half of my salad and took the rest home- it was just as fresh tasting the second day. For the main course, my guys enjoyed the Beef and Mushroom Ragu and the Butternut Squash Ravioli while I tucked into the Blackened Salmon. That salmon was cooked to perfection. Crispy corners and blackened seasoning layer- perfectly seasoned, juicy and flaky on the inside. The red wine butter on top was divine, and getting a bite with every component was memorable and lovely. For dessert one of our party enjoyed the Creme Brulee and did not even offer a bite to share, so it must have been delicious. We also ordered the Limoncello, and that deserves a re-visit just for that. Bright and full of lemon flavor! Our service was top notch with just the right amount of attention, and we appreciated that all of the employees seemed to be enjoying their time there. We will be back for sure, and cannot believe it's taken us so long to try it. Thanks Rye for a memorable meal.

They only had 2 sushi chefs and even w a reservation we waited for an hour before the chef was able to get to our table. He was great and the food was good. Long wait was the only issue for the night. Servers did alert us to the longer wait so that was helpful

It was a phenomenal brunch special for the draft! Great service and staff

Great meal coupled with excellent service. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the whole process. I look forward to my next meal.
