Excellent food and better service at a very convenient location without parking issues. The music is an added bonus. Can’t go wrong with the suppli starter appetizer followed by the chicken Parmesan with the pesto angel pasta

About the restaurant

Ronin features elgant farm cuisine with a constantly evolving menu. Set in the beautiful, newly-renovated historic Ice House on Main in downtown Bryan, our restaurant shares an open-air kitchen with our dining room, floor to ceiling exposed brick, and hand-built, suspension tables made from wood salvaged during renovation.

Our menu is updated daily, based on what we have harvested from our garden during that given week. Our farm is located just seven miles from our restaurant. The climate and changing seasons play a major role in what we serve. It is our intention to always provide a variety of menu options and to accommodate any dietary needs.

The overall experience was great. It seemed like they were short handed, as even with a reservation, we had to wait in line to be seated for 10 Minutes. We even arrived 15 min early to tell the hostess we here and we had to wait before she greeted us. I am not saying it was her fault, as lt looked like she was really busy.
