    Waited 40 minutes for our dinner reservation. Once we were finally seated our waiter did well considering how many tables he had. Right next to us staff and owner were arguing.. Overall the food was fine. We ordered the new york strip with garlic mashed potatoes, the streak was pretty tough but wasn't horrible. We also had the blackend tuna that was a bit under seasoned. We ordered creme brulee and the raspberry truffle cake, they were both good.

    First time dining at Rey’s. As a transplant from the Chicagoland area earlier this year, my wife and I have been looking for a restaurant in the area for special occasions. Rey’s did not disappoint. Great food and service. The only issue experienced was not being seated until 30 minutes after our reservation time.

    We and our friends all enjoyed the experience of Rey’s. Meeting Rey was a plus. The food was enjoyable, the wait staff, especially Monique, was incredible. We’d never had Cherries Jubilee so, naturally, that was our dessert choice for the table. WOW! The Christmas decorations were just beautiful. My only thing was the noise level. I had to ask our waitress to repeat herself several times because I simply couldn’t hear her. It turns out all at our table had the same problem. That was probably the only negative. All in all we all enjoyed ourselves and agreed we would be back.

    Rey’s was ok. For the amount of money spent on food, it was a mixed bag. My steak was a bit more fatty and the mashed potatoes tasted a bit like instant. Overall the place is nice but the food is exceptionally overpriced

    First time at Rey's and it was wonderful. Started with the scallops and fried oysters which were perfectly cooked! Main was the grouper and lamp chops which were great and that mint sauce though!!!! While the bread pudding was a little too soft for our preference, the flavors was phenomenal! The absolute best part was our server Jill. She went above & beyond to take care of us, following up on late drinks and making great dessert recommendations! If you visit, definitely request Jill!

    Service was great. Really nice servers and answered all our questions. I wish the good just did a little bit more. We started with the crab cakes as an appetizer. They came out nice & hot, and has a nice flavor (7.5/10). Our server told us that the sides could be shared, so we ordered 3, the garlic mashed potatoes, lobster Mac & cheese, and wedge salad. The salad was pretty standard, so that was nice (8/10) The lobster Mac cheese could’ve used more seasoning (6.5/10). The garlic mashed potatoes were pretty good (7.8/10). I ordered the salmon (8/10). It was cooked very well had a nice flavor. However, my friend thought it was a little dry. My friend ordered the rib eye, and we all thought it was delicious (9/10). We ended the night with a bread pudding, which was delicious! (9/10). Overall, I’d rate the food a 7.5/10. It’s definitely not bad but could do with a little more flavor overall.

    I enjoyed the food and the owner came over and chatted with everyone. It was my birthday and my waitress did not even say Happy Birthday! My partner did not appreciate her acknowledging my birthday and we were not attempting to get anything free. Which was implied by her. Overall, we had a great time.

    Our waitress, Monique, was exceptional in service and commendable knowledge about the menu. The bone-in ribeye was seasoned and cooked to perfection along with the garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. As for the dessert, the banana foster was not just a sweet ending but a delightful experience in itself prepared table side. It truly added a memorable touch to our birthday celebration!

    The food was very good. Our server, TJ, was very friendly and professional. All of the staff were really nice. It was very busy as it was Thanksgiving, but they did serve their regular menu as well as a Thanksgiving menu. The Salmon was cooked to perfection. The salad dressings are delicious. My husband said that his French Onion Soup was the best he's ever had. My one complaint is that is was very cold in the dining room and I was wearing a long sleeve shirt, boots, and stockings, so I shouldn't have been cold. Will bring a sweater next time.

    The sides were great on the Thanksgiving special. The ham was just a very thin slice without much taste, the turkey was stringy. The dessert was super rich. Good value. Love the atmosphere but the food off the menu is far superior.

    My family had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at Rey’s. This was our first time at Rey’s so we did not get a chance to try their standard menu even though it was still available. After all, it was Thanksgiving and we thoroughly enjoyed a three course meal with options. This place is very well run and look forward to when we return.

    We had the Chopped Salad and Shrimp Bisque Soup to start. Both very good but the soup was the winner. Then a 10 oz. Filet Mignon, Stuffed Flounder, Green Beans with Almonds, and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. The steak was perfectly cooked, had very good flavor, pretty tender but slightly more texture than I’m used to which could be that they serve corn fed beef and we buy grass fed. The flounder was stuffed with quite a bit of crab meat and was delicious. The Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes were good but nothing special. Since other diners were getting the Bananas Foster, we had to and it was very good! The service and ambiance were excellent!

    We have had extraordinary experiences at Reys and have recommended friends there and everyone enjoyed their visits. Our Friday night visit (birthday celebration) was reserved weeks in advance, but when we arrived we were escorted to an expanded dining room that felt like a enclosed garage/ party room. Our expectation was the main dining area....so we were very disappointed. The service was superb, drinks were great and the food was excellent.....Calamari, salad, macaroni & cheeae with lobster. My wife had the stuffed flounder (Wow!!!) And I had the bone in ribeye. My steak was just hard to eat, either a bad cut or bad luck......there was barely a single cut that could be made cleanly. Had a pile of gristle and fat on my plate. Finally gave up and got a doggie bag. Our waiter was very attentive.....and helpful with the menu (minus the steak special recommendation). We. Really enjoyed the Quilt Cabernet. Coffee service was great (French press) and the creme brulee was awesome. Rey's has always been a 5 star rating for us over the last 8 years, tonight was a let down.
