The food was better than expected and we absolutely loved our bubbly and accommodating waitress. She recommended the frozen mango whiskey and it was delicious!

Had a delicious and fun meal at RyeBird in Fairfield. What a cool place! It is small, with a cool bar, and indoor and outdoor seating. The menu has many interesting choices, and the food was very well priced and delicious. Our server did a nice job too. This place is an excellent new option in downtown Fairfield. It sits just next to the Community Theatre, with Las Vetas to the right, and Olde Post Tavern a couple doors to the left. Perfect anytime, but try it before an FTC show and you will love it. Thank you.

The food was amazing as well as the staff. This is definitely the best American food in Fairfield. Absolutely coming back! Again, I’m not sure if that BK comment was early in the opening, but it def doesn’t taste like that anymore, I mean look at the photos.

Great local spot we found! Coolish-vibe - they are into music! Our server was spot on and knew the menu and cocktails. Oh and they have really good cocktails! I had a daiquiri with their own rum and we had the salmon and a chicken sandwich. The salmon was fresh and the chicken was moist, crisp and delicious. Very diverse menu with entrees, sandwiches and some really good salads. We lingered and soaked it all in. Can’t wait to go back soon!

Just had another great meal at Ryebird—This was my third time there, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite spots in town. The food is consistently great. Everything we ordered feels thoughtful without being overdone, and the flavors are always spot-on. The service is also fantastic and friendly. I also love that they have a ton of outdoor seating... it was great to eat outside and most importantly we never felt rushed. We will be back soon!

Found this place on a business trip. The four of us couldn't have been happier. Cocktails came out quickly and the waitress was all over us in a good way. We had nearly one of everything but favorites were the taquitos appetizer, the crudite, the cheesy bread and simon, shrimp, and fish sandwich. Even the fries were the best ever. The pasta dish was a little creamy but it did say so on the menu. They have really cool "adult milkshakes" with booze for after dinner. They separate their dessert list by edible and drinkable.
