    We loved this place and our food was great! A little loud, but not bothersome to us in our late 20’s

    Everything was great, except the dry Mac & cheese. It should be removed from the menu. Our server, Mason was great. I love A-1 sauce and didn’t need any for my steak. The crab & artichoke dip is amazing!

    The hostess Keaira and server Drew were great. Keaira prioritized my desire to be seated outdoors and Drew took great care of me. The food was decent but the scenery compensated for the cuisine.

    A loud table of screaming women really wrecked a nice meal. We spoke to management. They said they couldn’t do anything about it. It’s a shame because I don’t think we’ll be back.

    This was the second time I dined here, and both times were fantastic. On this occasion our waiter was Alejandro, who knew the menu inside and out and shared his recommendations with us before we could even ask. The crab cake was about the size of a baseball and perfectly seasoned. The steak frites melted in my mouth. The side of pickled beets were the best I have ever had, and the salted caramel bread pudding was beyond compare.

    Rye Street has become one of my favorite places to dine and unwind. The food, drinks, and service are consistently outstanding. I am still dreaming about my rockfish dish. I also had the spinach salad which was very good. My friend had the crab cake which she said was good. And the BREAD PUDDING!!! Was the best ever.

    Seated for about 8 minutes before server came over to offer drinks Server was pleasant and said that she was training and would be working with someone else who was also pleasant. Main course was delivered - servers nowhere in sight - had to ask twice for red wine which had been ordered and for salt, pepper and vinegar Dessert menus were put on table when one person was still eating main course Food was OK Had to ask a different server for check as servers were again nowhere to be seen. Whilst seated the restaurant was not busy and there were lots of staff around. Service was unfocused and not fitting for such a great setting.
