Delicious food with trendy ambiance. We went here after checking into our hotel on our wedding night to unwind with some cocktails and great food. Pierogis were delicious and the Green Leaves gin cocktail was to die for.

Stopped in for a quick business lunch. Food was good, service prompt and accommodating. It was a quiet Friday afternoon. My colleague and I both commented that we liked it and would go back. The Tator Tots were awesome!

It was half priced Tuesday, which I'd never visited for, but was excited to take advantage of. We sat under a cold a/c unit, which made us both uncomfortable by mid-meal. The server said The service was a bit slow considering how many people were actually there. Maybe they were short staffed. We got our food and it was good. Tater tots were amazing as were the crispy Brussel sprouts. The chicken fried steak was slightly underseasoned. Drinks were great. When the bill came I didn't see what was 1/2 price on there, but gave my CC to the server. When he returned I asked about it. He said, "Everything was 1/2 price." I said, "No everything was the same price as on your menu." He then said, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. My bad. Then just don't tip me." And he walked off very fast. I tipped him, because I wasn't going to be seen as "that person". But I just won't be back and won't be recommending this place any longer.

Food was passable, not bad. If friends were to meet there I would go, but I would not go out of my way to return. Service was better than average. Cocktails were interesting but tiny for the $$,

We’ve dined here a few times before going to a concert at fair park. The food and cocktails are good but the service was really slow the last time we went. Hoping they can pick up the pace a little. I want to love this place but was really disappointed on the last visit.

There was a mixup with our reservation and the manager made it right in half a heart-beat. Our server was great--helpful, prompt but not over-demanding, friendly. Ours was a party of seven and we had a variety of foods and drinks, and everyone was happy!

I have been to Idle Rye many times. This was my least favorite visit. The service was poor, my check was wrong, my brussels were burned and not palatable.

Not a fan of the latest menu. Slow service, especially for drinks. I've enjoyed it more in the past. I'd like give this most recent visit a solid B-. Might have been a B+ but they were out of the dish I wanted.
