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 Christopher Albrecht, 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.

    My wife and I and our niece dined here last week. Valet service was nice and upon entering live piano music and singing added to the ambiance of the restaurant. We were shown to our table and immediately a very amiable female server took care of our drinks and went over the specials. I had the spiced guinea hen (moist and delicious) and ordered roasted brussel sprouts (outstanding). My wife had sunchoke soup (very good) and a salad which was just OK. Our niece had (naturally, being 22 years old) a burger. She loved it and took home my brussel sprouts because she loved them. All in all a good experience. We looked out upon their brick patio with a huge chimney for barbecuing. We have to go back in the warmer weather to sample that!!

    Always 5 stars, top to bottom. I’ve never noticed the slightest misstep here, and spent many years working in fine dining and wine (and would categorize my reviews as “firm but fair”).

    Amazing ambiance. Live music with a solo singer and guitar - the performer was great. Attentive service. Delicious food and they accommodated my wife's gluten allergy. And, since they new it was our anniversary, they gave us a little card. Another, factor I appreciated - our table was designated that 10% of all proceeds were donated to a local charity. Our leftovers were wrapped up and picked up at coat check on the way out. We'll 100% be back.
