While we normally Love going to Reyla, we made reservations for brunch and arrived to a Taylor swift themed menu with glaringly loud music and games going on. Had we known the menu would be different and there would be such loud music we would have waited for another time. Next time please tell your loyal customers on open table that there is a theme and change of regular menu. Also, there was no milk available for coffee and no salt and pepper on the table. Overall we were disappointed…

My husband and I had a memorable night last time. It’s been a while a restaurants was able to get us excited about our next plate. The chef in the restaurant takes attention to detail on his creations. Food for a tasty and exciting and the cocktails are also well made and created. If you are a foodie, this is the place to go.

We haven't been here in quite some time, and saw the menu had been updated, so decided to try it out. We sat at the chefs table and got to watch the behind the scenes cooking. Everything that came out of the kitchen was meticulously plated. Everything looked beautiful! We started with the “Salatim” and the Shishito. For our entrees we had the Schnitzel and the Squash. Everything was excellent! My husband usually gets steak, but seeing Schnitzel after schnitzel come out of the kitchen, he wanted to give it a try. He said it was the best chicken he has ever had. My Squash (vegan option) was delicious! We will definitely be back soon!

Always a great time! We sat at the chefs counter and the food was delicious. Chef Anthony is such a welcoming person. We enjoyed seeing the process of the food being prepared. The meatball and lamb entrees are a must try. Outstanding! We will be back again soon.
