About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighborhood gem

We are thrilled to announce the long-anticipated reopening of our restaurant! Step into the newly reimagined Landmark Tavern at The Ryland Inn, where the charm of a classic tavern meets the sophistication of modern dining. At the heart of our kitchen is Executive Chef Daniel Brunina, whose passion for local, fresh ingredients shines through in every dish.

While the Tavern menu takes center stage, our culinary creativity extends far beyond. From cult wines and rare spirits to classic cocktails, the details are crafted to create an unforgettable dining experience. Set against a backdrop of unpretentious charm, with equestrian décor that reflects our rich history and playful spirit, The Ryland Inn is more than just a place to eat—it's again a destination for those who seek the joys of exceptional food, great company, and an atmosphere that feels like home.

Welcome back to the Ryland, welcome home.

"In terms of decor, Ralph Lauren would be jealous." -The New York Times. Romantic and luxurious, equestrian yet refined. Built in 1796, The Ryland Inn is a former country home and stagecoach stop. Today, it is a redesigned space that boasts exposed wood beams, elegant chandeliers, and exceptional cuisine. Both spaces are located on opposite sides of the property, ensuring exclusive use of the facility. Nestled on these 10 acres are overnight accommodations as well. The Grand Ballroom- With the feel of a country farmhouse paired with modern flair, the breathtaking 30' windows and matching stone fireplace play perfectly in concert with the glimmer and glow of our chandeliers. The Coach House- Our refurbished 200-year-old barn is nothing short of magnificent for your next event. Utilizing the original silo and materials from the original barn, this space is unique, authentic and dramatic. For more info: 866.683.3586 or events@landmarkvenues.com.

Brunch was calm and well done for the most part. Choices were very limited, with not much variety. The food that was served was delicious, but not much selection - if you do not like the specifics they chose for the day, you are mostly out of luck, with minimal "backup". Do not go right at opening - the food was not completely ready until about 11:30. The live piano was nice, but very loud.

Food was amazing. You must try the black pepper calamari. Everything was beautifully plated and the service was stellar. I had left overs to take home so they checked it for me so I didn’t have to keep it at the table. Looking forward to going back to experience their outdoor patio dining.

Lovely Mother’s Day Brunch at Ryland Inn. Porchetta, beef filet with horseradish cream, and halibut most delicious. Farmers Market Juice Bar was curative.

Food was delicious. Ambience and grounds are beautiful. However, they booked dinner after a Kentucky Derby party and I don’t know if they were understaffed but it took two hours to get dinner. The disappointing aspect is that no one acknowledged this, came over or offered anything for the wait. So service was not great in this day. I will be back to try it again but this was very disappointing.

The food was excellent (Oyster rockerfeller, hangar steak). The live music was wonderful and is the extra that sets the Ryland Inn above the others.
