    I had not heard of Rey’s prior to last weekend. I wanted somewhere nice that was local and different. It was my 23rd anniversary. The atmosphere was wonderful and the food was amazing.

    My wife and I came here for our first anniversary and loved it! The ambiance was perfect for a romantic dinner and the food was stellar. The best steaks I’ve ever had have come from Rey’s. Service was outstanding and made our celebration feel incredibly special.

    The service was excellent as was the food and ambiance. We were warmly greeted by two hostesses and they wished us a happy anniversary and then we were seated promptly. Our server Matt was attentive and offered suggestions and let us know about off menu items. Our food and drinks were delicious. I had high expectations and they were all met or exceeded. Thanks for a wonderful evening.

    Filet mignon was tough and not cooked correctly - asked for medium and received medium rare. Not tender at all! Other seafood entries were good for rest of my group.

    Rey's was Great. Open Table is a problem. I made a reservation through Open Table which was confirmed. On the day of the reservation, at 3:49 PM I got an Email saying my reservation was changed to the following day. I called the Restaurant and they said they still had my reservation. At 4:09 PM I got another email saying my reservation was mailed back. No apology, no phone call, no explanation. Obviously this was a mistake but it ruined my day. You would think a screw up like this would at least require an apology. Note: This was an Open Table screw up. Rey's was great.

    Service is superb. In fact, all the staff are friendly and go out of their way to just be one of the best. Steaks and dessert were also fantastic. Now the bad...French Onion soup, side dishes, and Cappuccino were lukewarm and not appetizing. The one thing that was disgusting was walking past food treys on our way out. They smelled horrible. They use the same treys to deliver your food and clear dishes. I'm glad I didn't walk past them on my way in or I would have turned around and left.

    Our first dinner at Rey’s and we’ll be back. Service was exceptional. Bryan was our waiter and he took great care of us and made the evening the special occasion we wanted (anniversary). Food lived up to our expectations. I had a trio of seafood appetizers and they were all delicious, crab cakes were perfect and I recommend them. My husband had steak and garlic mashed, they both lived up to expectations too. Sadly we were too full for dessert but they looked yummy. We’ll try them next visit

    Absolutely wonderful experience. Staff were friendly, courteous, and professional. Our server was terrific. Her timing was great. We were not rushed, nor did we feel abandoned. The menu had items for everyone and the quality of the food was what you would expect from Rey’s. Perfectly prepared and cooked, the meal was simply delicious. We have been going to Rey’s, on and off, for years and have never been disappointed.

    The food was delicious and our server, I believe his name begins with A (Aiden maybe?) was fantastic. The atmosphere was good, however the noise level was a bit too high at one point. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our date and will definitely be coming back and recommending it.

    We went for a birthday celebration for a steakhouse lover and had not been to Rey's in years. Pro's chopped salad, Caesar salad, scallop appetizer, Chat de Pape bottle. Con's birthday boy's med rare special came out med, the wine service was awful (asked to open the bottle at the beginning of dinner and then had to wait for the bottle to be opened after mains were served), and I was poured the wrong wine by the glass to start and had a little pushback when asking it to be poured again...I was right, it was the wrong wine at first. The children's filet was poor quality/size...thinking it was a tournedo from another dish, not a true 4 oz. portion. The overcooked steak was fixed, and the 2nd was delicious. They season/char the steaks well. Back to Oak and Stanbury!

    For the first 20 minutes after our arrival, there was a 2 year old running through the restaurant screaming. The parent chased the kid around and acted amused at his sons behavior while others in the restaurant were clearly annoyed trying to enjoy their dinner. The manager should have asked this parent to step outside with his child. Secondly, my husbands steak was undercooked, sent back and then overcooked. Instead of a discount on his entree, the Manager offered free desserts which we did not want. So-so food, so-so atmosphere, not worth the price.

    Despite having an early reservation, we weren’t seated in the main restaurant, but in the “garage area”. Linens had stains, bread napkin was greasy and bread was over toasted grocery store bought, or so it seemed, nothing special about it. Server suggested scallops as an appetizer and they were great quality! Big and meaty, a little too many condiments, but French cuisine can be like that sometimes. Then, we got a filet and a ribeye! WOW what a disappointment! Filet was so dry despite being medium, and SO chewy 😳 The ribeye was thin, colorless and so bland! A great ribeye barely needs condiments! And this one had zero taste 😱 we each got a couple bites and decided it wasn’t worth it. Got our check and left to catch dinner somewhere else.

    This is the second time we have celebrated my wife's birthday at Rey's. The first was five years ago when visiting Raleigh. We both ordered the Chicken Marsala and loved it so much we ordered it again on our second visit! We started martinis shaken at the table, lobster appetizer, and french onion soup. We had NY cheese cake and vanilla ice cream for desert. Everything was excellent. The tuxedo white glove treatment is special anytime, but the professionalism of the service staff sets this restaurant apart from the rest. The classic ambience take you back to a time when things were more elegant and formal. Highly recommend!

    Overall a delightful evening, portions were good. Food delicious! Steaks cooked to perfection. Only complaint sides are family style- lobster Mac and Cheese skimpy. And the grouper with crab was an entree and was about 2 small bites. Cocktails great we had apple martinis, expresso martinis, and one had a martini with baileys and I can’t remember what else but raved about it.
