Beautiful space - historic building with up-scale yet comfortable design and seating. Impeccable service. Every dish was wonderful but have to especially note the Grilled Cheese appetizer and the goat cheese ravioli. Familiar and yet creative. The collards accompanying the pork dish were a standout. Always love the Parker House rolls at any Voltaggio restaurant. Parking lot which made the whole visit even easier. We'd waited years to eat here and COVID kept getting in the way. Well worth the wait and we'll be back!

What a wonderful dining experience! The service and cuisine were phenomenal! Upon arrival, my table was ready. Helpful staff and specifically my server, Kahla made the whole experience something I will always remember. Chef Bryan Voltaggio was on premise and provided a quick meeting and photo op. I've followed his career and have admired his cooking skills and presentations. He was a Top Chef contender as well as his show with his Brother Michael on Brother vs Brother. Great, creative Chef as you will see by the photos I've attached. The restaurant decor is beautiful and impeccable to view. I had the four course meal which I dined on the grilled cheese appetizer (not a sandwich!), the Ravoli with goat cheese & red pepper Brown butter as the pasta course, Monkfish with cauliflower puree and mussels as the entree and finally the Sticky Toffee Cake and Latte for Dessert. Fantastic! Everything cooked and presented to perfection! This is a MUST on your list of dining experiences. You will not be disappointed!

A disappointment. My first visit since it re-opened in its new incarnation. Our servers were excellent, attentive, and warm. Our main wait person knew her menu and ingredients well, and was aware of my wife’s Allergies and advised us appropriately. We ordered the goat cheese ravioli, which tasted of the refrigerator and dehydration. Upon calling it to the staff’s attention, they removed it from the check. The Parker House rolls were superb, but the smoked trout mousse they were served With was a pairing that just didn’t work. The mousse would have been a better match with hard breads or seeded crackers. The asparagus salad “lacked a theme” and was uninspired. The short-rib was inert, lacking flavor. It was soft and tender, but paired with a polenta, it lacked any umami or evidence of particular seasoning. The lasagna bolognese was the high point of the meal. Zesty, rich, and colorful. This was not evocative of the pleasant memories we have of our meals at “Volt.” We’ll give it another try, but will wait a while before doing so.

We don’t get out to restaurants much since COVID started since we have a young child now. We loved everything we ordered (especially the ravioli and coffee cake) and appreciated them accommodating our 14 month old. The outdoor seating is the best I’ve seen and we had a great time.

Another excellent meal at Thatcher & Rye. From the moment you enter the door you are taken care of in a friendly, professional manner. Great atmosphere, food, service and presentation. The new menu was wonderful! I thought I’d miss my favorite salad, but the new one with watercress, asparagus, frisée and green goddess was great! All the portions are the perfect size so you can enjoy every course. The server and kitchen have things timed perfectly with courses following each other in just the right timing. I highly recommend following T & R on Instagram because they show you what’s new! There was a drink I wanted to try and couldn’t remember the name, so I pulled up IG and there it was…..White Rabbit. Thought I’d never be able to drink the whole thing, but I did and it was delicious! The entire meal was so good. All the courses feel like they being together, perhaps because they try to have the food sourced from the same area. Just a perfect dining experience. My husband and I have dined all over the US and in numerous countries. We few so fortunate to only be two hours away from Thatcher & Rye! Thank you Chef Voltaggio and staff for another memorable meal. We’ll see you for our birthdays in a few months!

Band was very loud in the enclosed tent area. Service was not what we have come to expect. Two of our party did not finish their pasta dishes. They did not want to complain which is unfortunate. If the kitchen doesn’t know there is a problem it can’t be fixed.

The starters and pasta courses were all excellent. Three entrees were brought to the table together with the fourth taking several minutes to arrive with the explanation that the yoke had broken. This was understandable, however in the time we waited to eat, the halibut of two of the entrees had time to become tough and overcooked. Overall great food and would recommend.

Good food--some excellent, some small missteps. Same with the service. Would have rated Ambience higher had we eaten inside, been seated in the sun outside, or if the heaters had been left on high. Had to run to the care to get a jacket.

We sat outside by the heaters. They provide some warmth but it was still kind of cold. Super nice waitress and help. Great food but definitely expensive. Small portions which is fine but you have to order several things to get your fill.

We did the Wednesday wine dinner and it was an excellent 3 course menu with pairing from a local winery.

Food was amazing. We had a few guests that have allergens and food preferences, the chef did not disappoint in being able to modify and make them something special. Definitely recommend the place.

It was our 49th wedding anniversary and everything turned out perfect (of course helped by the wonderful weather): the food was excellent, the service great, and the outdoor tent so good!

“Thatcher ultimately, they just gave me another dinner fork. Entrees were delivered without the wine we ordered. The Monkfish, etc., was swimming in some sort of flavorless broth. We ate in the kitchen, which was interesting but it was so noisy we could barely hear each at a two-person table; we recommend only eating in the main dining room. P.S. The cooks' water bottles were kept on the windowsill, which patrons can see when they walk from parking to the entrance (not an attractive habit), and which were right in front of us while dining.

We were disappointed with our T and R experience. From the check-in, our seating, and just the overall experience. It was our anniversary and we ended up being seated in the kitchen area. Some people consider it an upgrade, but for us; seeing the staff on their cell phones, two people in our party were seated with their backs to the kitchen (?). It just wasn't impressive. Our server JW was very good and the monk fish was good. Overall, we expected more.

Easter Sunday Brunch with the regular brunch menu. Server was great in explaining the process of the meal and making recommendations. Staff were attentive but considerate. Seasoning, presentation and balance of dishes were all wonderful.

The food was out of this world. Every course was layered with flavors that excited the whole palate! Each dish was meticulously plated with such care.

Steak tartar and Grilled Cheese appetizers were delicious. The Gulf shrimp was great but I wished it was not chilled (but that is a personal preference). The hangar steak was perfectly cooked, and the accompanying omelet was absolutely perfect. Service was great. We will definitely go back!

It was our second time visiting Thatcher & Rye. All-in-all, a great time. Our entrees came out too soon after we finished our appetizers, which is annoying for a restaurant that wants you to order everything at once. But besides that the service was very good. Do yourself a favor and get the bread with trout spread - the best thing we ate on both our visits.

I had hoped as a table of five there would have been one person seated at the end rather than three on one side and two on the other, I specifically requested this but did not think the person calling to confirm our reservation understood. I took the third seat since it was the least comfortable for interactions. The asparagus and chopped salad were delicious but the risotto was lacking in flavor. The server was trying but she was annoying, we let it pass because she wanted to do well but she talked way too much. This is our second try, will try again but with a different approach and definitely not an odd number of guests. There was an unoccupied table across from us which would have suited us better.
