   The bacon was horrible. Came thick cut and covered in maple syrup which I wasn’t expecting. Otherwise I liked the brunch.

   The wait staff was slow and poor. What really surprised me was that I ordered a $35 steak dinner and I received 2 strips of a steak. What happened to a whole entire medium well steak? I was disappointed with the overall experience. The place wasn't crowded yet the live performance was very loud for the setting. I was truly disappointed with my experience and service let alone the skimpy food for the prices charged.

   out of 10+ restaurants over 5 days stay ... simply the best in all means, if you happen to be in national park for conferences at the gay lord no doubts the 12$ for a Huber ride to Alexandria are the best you can spend ....

   I had a wonderful experience at King & Rye!! I had the mussels, the taco plate, and cornbread. The cornbread and tacos were just okay so that’s why I gave it a 4. Loved the mussels and the drink I had which had the word “friendship” in. We sat outside in the cocktail garden which was super cute!

   Great service. Every dish was fine but some were far better than others. We really liked the grits. The wine list could be much improved. More beer on tap would be nice.

    Our table was ready at the exact time of our reservation and our server was very sweet. The food was a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for! High quality ingredients = top notch meals all around. My husband loved his Bloody Mary and I was in love with the eggs Benedict with amazing crispy potatoes! We recommend the food and awesome bartenders to anyone!

    Unfortunately staff was short handed and they did not look happy to be here. Not sure I would return. We were excited to be getting together but didn’t feel we were welcome even though we had a reservation. Also they were out of regular expresso so no nice coffee drinks for us that morning. We were going to end with cocktails but we decided to go elsewhere.

    Great food. Service...not so much. Upon arrival, the host did not greet us and in fact, acted as if we were bothering him. We had a reservation so we were seated immediately. Our waiter was nice, but distracted. He seemed to be buzzing around a large portion of the dining room and the outdoor patio. May have had too many tables, but given the current staffing shortages, it's understandable. It took a while to put our order in, but once we did, all was well. The food was really good (dinner) so based on that, we would likely go back.

    We decided to go here for Easter Brunch and we’re underwhelmed by the food. We had the deviled eggs (which were fantastic) but the Bacon Benedict and the Creamy Chicken Skillet were mediocre — nothing special. They weren’t bad or inedible but I expected more from all the good reviews we read. Overall, it was a decent meal but it did not live up to the hype of other reviews. Will try dinner next time…

    We were greeted right away. We requested seats at the bar for our reservation and were able to get that. The food was amazing. Only issue was we requested a second mimosa and the bartender forgot. So we just got our check and left.

    Friendly staff. Overall ambience is hip. More tables than booths so you do feel a bit out in the open if you enjoy booths better. My food was overcooked- my bisquit that came with the eggs and the sausage was harder due to overcooking and I didn't enjoy it. My friend ate the side potatoes that come with the dish and he said they were overcooked also. I went here due to the good reviews but we did not have great food.

    We enjoyed the restaurant and the food very much. The service was great also. I was disappointed that you did not have red cherries because Old Fashions are not as good without them!!! I recommend that at least give one the option of having the red. They keep a long time in the fridge.....just keep some on hand!

    This was an ordinary breakfast of eggs, potatoes, ham and toast. The eggs and toast were fine, the potatoes were over cooked and burned on the outside, and the ham was disgusting and looked burned. The food was piled on top of each other and did not look appetizing. I ate very little.

    The ambiance was great, but the food was incredibly bland. The only flavor the deviled eggs had was the weird drop of hot sauce they put on each half. The T-bone steak was thin and not seasoned well. I ordered the Chocolate dessert and the waitress brought me a fruit tart. I was so over the dinner I just ate it and didn't bother sending it back. I wouldn't eat here again.

    We came here for Restaurant Week and to try a new place. The scallop, shrimp and grits as well as the oysters had gritty textures that weren’t pleasant to eat. The ribeye was dry and over cooked while half of the duck breast was dry; the other half was good and the fat was perfectly crispy on the good half. Both mains came with purées made from the same vegetables that were whole on the plate but was very under seasoned so we couldn’t taste what they were or what the point of having a purée was. The deconstructed blackberry crumble was laughable because it was graham cracker pie crust crumbled into a bowl with blackberries and a scoop of ice cream. The chocolate peanut butter bacon bar was good but tasted like it had been frozen and thawed since the chocolate in the middle felt frozen and unfortunately tasted like the chocolate of a Reese’s cup. The cocktail was worth the money because it was so alcohol forward which was good. The service was really good. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. We wanted the atmosphere to be better. It started off nice and quiet since we got there at opening but then was more like a bar scene by the time our mains came around. Overall, the amount of food and the quality are not worth the price. The portion sizes did not change because we ordered the restaurant week menu- we checked their photos online to make sure they were the same size. The food had very little flavor for a place that boasts southern food.
