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 Daniel Brunina, 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.

We heard so many good things about this place. Paid a lot more than we’d normally for a Christmas Eve dinner but we wanted a nice dinner. First, we were put in an empty dining front room. No one else, no sound. We peaked into the main dining room to find many open seats, so we asked to move. One other group came in after us and did the same. They very graciously agreed to move us. We were put at circle folding table (nice table cloth) but the table was extremely wobbly. We had two kids who got $30 kids meals - bowl of Mac and cheese, and chicken fingers. Outside of the astronomical price for a kids meal they charged us extra for each soda the kids had. Then, my son didn’t want the included desert of creams brûlée so we asked for a scoop of ice cream. Another adder. The main entrees were ok but for $80 I expected top shelf. We eat in mid-town a lot but this meal was the most expensive we’ve ever had as family and average in quality. Finally, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to the bill. I’d pay 20%+ anyways but I don’t like it being added and nothing noted anywhere about the auto add. Staff was VERY nice. A saving grace.

The staff was friendly , from the valet parking through the meal. The space was decorated tastefully for the Holidays. The food was artfully plated and everything was delicious. We were there for a birthday dinner, and there was also a wedding and a company holiday party going on. Highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions.

while the preparation and presentation of food was wonderful - the portions were very small for the prices they are charging - very small. Particularly they're duck and steak entrees.

Such a beautiful place and was so excited to try this restaurant. We invited friends from North Jersey to join us for dinner . I was so disappointed with the food . Most of our meal was average at best and some was terrible. For the amount of money we spent I expected a great meal and did not get that .

Wonderful restaurant. Food is EXCEPTIONAL. Perfect for date or special occasions. Service is very good. Restaurant is pricey, but it is what you would expect given the aforementioned.
