    This was our second time there and the food was fantastic. Our server was great and gave good recommendations. It is on the pricey side, but that's why we save it for special occasions as it is well worth it. The food is cooked perfectly, the drinks are great, and the atmosphere makes it a great place to celebrate a special occasion or date night.

    Great place for a nice dinner out. We had the carpaccio & cheese curds for our starters which were lovely, the fried jalapeño on the carpaccio was a nice surprise. Mains of pork chop and risotto were plentiful and flavorful. The only small negative was that the bottle wine list was somewhat Cabernet Sauvignon heavy given the varied choices for mains. Overall a lovely meal and service!

    Outstanding crab cake appetizer, strip steak, and salmon. Nice martini and pretty good selection of wines by the glass. Fantastic service. A little pricey, so not for casual meals, but still a wonderful experience.

    As usual, Rye delivered an excellent meal! I had the pesto Caprese risotto and my guest had the mushroom mozzarella ravioli. Both were delicious, and we paired them with a glass of the featured rosé. Our server Carissa did a great job taking care of us. We were happy to see Willow’s smiling face behind the bar. While the new decor is trendy and nice, my guest felt that the table was small and too close to the other diners. A+ for food and service. Keep up the great job!

    The food was excellent as was our service. However they seated our party of 6 at a table in the bar (we had reservations for months) which was a very uncomfortable space that definitely impacted our experience.
