    The location is beautiful and the service and care are impeccable. The only thing that I did not like from this visit was that another table brought a non-service dog and the dog jumped on the booth and was sitting at the table, sniffing the table/linens/place setting. The server came over and the dog was put under the table, but that gave me, pun intended, pause. Otherwise, the Canadian cup oysters were fantastic as was the pecan pie. Both Thanksgiving options were great value and delicious.

    I ate here for Thanksgiving dinner with my dad. The ambiance is top tier and the service was excellent. The food was plentiful, but it came out a bit lukewarm in terms of the temperature. To be fair, we ordered off of the prix fixe Thanksgiving menu so I think there was some discrepancy regarding the food temperature as they might have prepared the food differently than they do their regular menu. All in all, I think this is a great place to dine.

    This was our first visit to the restaurant and it was for Thanksgiving dinner. We all ordered the turkey special and raved about the quality of the food and the service and setting. We took home left overs to enjoy our experience again. The turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing and green beans were superb. Even the desserts and appetizers were wonderful. The service was exquisite. I highly recommend this restaurant and will return.

    A bright and clean space. Very family friendly. The wait staff is friendly and attentive without being cloying. They suggested fresh oysters and my spouse quite liked them. I had a mixed cocktail (crushed velvet) that tasted good and didn't burn my throat on the way down. I was there for their Thanksgiving dinner: moist turkey, flavorful dressing, and excellent peacan pie. Everything else was what you'd expect from mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy.

    Another delightful meal at Rye St., Tavern. We went for Thanksgiving and enjoyed the traditional turkey with gravy, stuffing, sweet potato, green beans, and mashed potato. Apple pie for dessert. Classic and perfect. Quiet table with a view of the water and impeccable service.
