    Hello - upon the waiter's description - I went with the Kansas City strip bone in. The steak was terrible - loaded with thick knife proof grizzle. The steak was not meant to leave the kitchen . The scallops were great along with the sides . Very disappointed for my first visit.

    The main dining room is just a treasure for those of us who remember it as a place where we did our post office business. Great restoration! The back office transformed into a great bar and lounge - terrific. Great jazz trio music there on occasion. Food is very good. Liked the duck. The downstairs bar is good, but not what the old Triumph brew pub was. Go!

    Prior to COVID, we dined at Ryland Inn ten or more times a year. They have been closed for some time but recently reopened and since we were visiting the area, booked a reservation. While it is no longer the amazing farm-to-table menu, the food prep was very impressive. Tom, our bartender, was very knowledgeable and professional. We knew the previous team very well and he would have fit in nicely. He made my Sazarac beautifully. On to dinner: Skip the wedge salad- while trying to be clever, the red leaf lettuce wasn’t properly washed and much too gritty. Too bad- the blue cheese and bacon were excellent. The salmon (special) was perfect. As was the shirt rub and grits. Wines are very pricy. So we opted to order by the glass and found a very drinkable Cabernet. We both ordered the crème brûlée for dessert which was creamy and delicious. So, while not the same Ryland inn we were accustomed to, it is still very good.
