Last time we wrote we suggested the portions were small and the prices high. Lsst night the portions were reasonablt sized and consodering that we didnt order any side dishes our bill was fair. Its still very pricey. The service team generally performs well but our actual waiter was very polite but not attentive. It took me forever tp get hos attention to get some extra lemons for my appetizer and on other occasiosn he just was not on his game. Finally at 6:00 pm on a Friday they had sold out of the 3 orders of chicken wings they had on hand for Friday night..... Steel ad Rye is a big place and I now it takes a lot of managment anfd professuonalism to make it go smoothly. Our experience as so for a pretty expensive place in an area where theres lots of competition...

We went for an early Sunday dinner to celebrate my wife's birthday. The restaurant was relatively quiet, but the waitstaff was very attentive and friendly. Our table was very cool for a part of five - an oval of wood that combined the best of a round and a rectangular table. The flavor of the appetizers and meals was wonderful - complex and nuanced and really flavorful - as was the signature cocktail we tried. Our three teenage boys thought that the portion sizes should have been a bit larger on the appetizers and main courses, but my wife and I were satisfied. Overall, we were very pleased and had an enjoyable meal. We would definitely recommend and will be sure to go back again this Summer.

My husband and I had a nice time but unfortunately we will not be returning anytime soon. We felt the bill was too expensive for what we got.

Best part of our meals was the pickle that came with the burger. It was very slow in there which is rare but our food still took a while. Burger was fine but the fries were almost cold and our server forgot to put our Mac n cheese side in so we got it at the end of meal and it was not good. Almost seemed old with very thin liquid sauce to it.

Loved our server Olena. Professional, attentive and personable. Food quality was great. Our only comment is that the men’s room had paper towels all over the floor and the trash was full. Maybe just from inconsiderate guests but the trash needs to be attended to more often.
