    Went to dinner to celebrate a birthday. Our server Brad was amazing. Loved the Seacuterie and pork belly apps. Our entrees were great as well. Will definitely return!

    Good food, good service, our table on the second floor felt like it was in a runway with waiters and people walking by. We would have preferred to have been on the side of the room, so it was less busy as the noise was also fairly loud. We will return but will request a quieter location— we felt like we were scooting our chairs in all night to allow servers and parties of guests to walk by.

    The space is absolutely beautiful!! And I was excited to try this spot since it’s close to where I live in the Riverside neighborhood and I’ve been watching the development of the Baltimore Peninsula. I made a reservation for Saturday brunch/lunch with my sister and a friend. Our waitress seemed irritated and “done” with us for nearly the entire time. Several of our orders either were incorrect or came late. We never had our water refilled. Ans it took me asking another waiter to be able to pay out bill. I get that they are new and probably still working out the kinks. But part of what helps grow a new business is a good first impression. The only thing that I can say without hesitation that was good was the venue and ambiance! Please do better!!

    I regret that you had an underwhelming experience here with us at Rye Street. We did not make a good impression; it appears we dropped the ball repeatedly throughout service. It is our intent, that each guest has nothing but fond memories of their time and leave satisfied. We cannot capture and retain guests if we aren't doing this. I hope you will give us another opportunity to make a regular out of you, if you are so gracious to do so, please reach out to me at tgaynor@ryestreettavern. Thank you for your feedback, we cannot fix what we don't know is broken.

    Good food and nice vibe at Rye Street Tavern. Oysters were good but pricey. Good Bloody Mary, spicey and tasty. Pork belly was amazing. Steak and eggs delivered as well, with crispy potatoes.

    Amazing service and our waiter was super knowledgeable about the menu and shared his favorites. Service was very fast and staff cleared tables timely. Made a reservation and walked right in and sat!

    The staff is lovely,, but service was slow today, especially for drinks ordered from the bar. It was crowded so noise level was high. The food is very good but expensive.
