    Food was good. Atmosphere was great. I went in at 10 pm. I made sure to arrive early with it being my first time there so I could find parking ECT. Ironically I found parking in the same building in the parking garage. Use the QR code on one of the pillers to pay for your parking. Take the elevator to the lobby then you'll see where to go to get to the bygone. Was glad I arrived early because I wasn't told the kitchen closed at 10. But even though I arrived 30minutes early I was seated immediately and given excellent service. My waitress was amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure our needs were taken care of. We had a great fine dining experience just be sure to follow the dress code on there website jacket is not necessary just make sure you have a collared shirt. And ladies a nice casual dress or gown is fine. I know my guest was nervous on what she should wear. Will definitely be back. A great place to take someone you care about fellas. Hope my review answered some questions for any first timers looking to go.

    Absolutely LOVED the Sunday dining service with elegant piano player. The gentleman played hit songs the audience were all familiar with. The decorative theme and ambiance was vintage. The food presentation was just as delicious as it looks in my photos.. I tried something NEW! Our tastebuds were pleasantly impressed! Great place for food and classy entertainment.

    Everything about my experience at Rye Street Tavern was perfect! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and warm. Even though the place was busy, we felt like everyone was attentive to us, which really made the evening special. For Valentine’s Day, the filet mignon was absolutely exquisite—cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The whole fried chicken hen was a delightful surprise—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. The crab and artichoke dip was a perfect starter, rich and creamy with just the right balance of flavors. To top it all off, the cappuccino was smooth and comforting, and the wine selection complemented the meal beautifully. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and efficient, making the evening even more enjoyable. A+ all around! Rye Street Tavern has earned a special place in my heart, and I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended for any occasion!
