    Food was mediocre. Cocktails were very expensive ($13). Service was good. Noise level was very high for a while---very young girls at one table were in Raleigh for dance competition, and were having a great time while making a lot of noise (we didn't mind at all)!

    My rating gives no fluff! The entire experience was on par with excellence, from the food (4 people in our party and we all ordered something different) to the drinks to the ambience and noise level. Our service was excellent as well, patient with our questions, and quick and seemingly honest with her recommendations. I look forward to returning. P.S. It can be pricey but then 1) We ordered drinks and 2) It's a restaurant at a major hotel in the downtown area. Increased costs should be expected.

    Rye Bar & Southern Kitchen never disappoints us. Our server was very attentive and the meal options were excellent. Our lobster Shepherd's Pie was absolutely delicious. Great place to share a meal with friends before the Symphony.

    Was looking forward to this restaurant. However, it wasn't as good as I had anticipated. Wait staff was nice, food was just OK. Husband had the gumbo, but it was a very small serving. I had the meatloaf which was OK....but the entire meal was lukewarm. I hesitated about sending it back. The chicken wings, however, were very good.

    Honestly some of the worst food I’ve had at an upperclass hotel. The scalloped potatoes and macncheese both tasted like lukewarm Velveeta had been poured over it, and the bland meatloaf was only marginally helped by a bottled bbq sauce. We would not eat there again.

    The food was flavored well but both my wifes salmon and my burger were overcooked. The drinks were good and the service was outstanding!

    Brunswick stew was a soup and not a stew. 2 of the four scallops were burned. Salmon was good. Sweet potato hush puppies were delicious. We have enjoyed Rye in the past but we’re disappointed this night.
