Rey’s was fine. Nothing remarkable and probably will not return. Service and food were “meh”. Can definitely get better elsewhere.

Rey's is a wonderful, classy place with great service and ambience. The restaurant was packed with happy people. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Two of us ordered the 16oz Prime Ribeye. It was juicy, delicious and TOUGH. We had to saw through each bite. Both steaks were medium rare, so they weren't over-cooked. The staff was apologetic and offered us another steak, however we ate the Ribeye's and we were given free desserts. This is really a great place, and a great steak would have made this review 5 of 5 stars.

Absolutely amazing experience for our anniversary. We had Monique and Jasmine as our servers and they were phenomenal. Food was excellent decor a little outdated but no big deal once you eat the dinner you realize the decor doesn’t matter.

We visited the restaurant on Friday night and we had reservations for 730. We checked in at 7 o’clock and was told to go to the bar and the hostess would come and get us when our table was ready so at 7:45 no one had came so I walked up to the hostess and she said that they were working on getting us a table that they would come back and get us or we could just come back and check so I go back into the bar at about 8 o’clock, I saw that there was two bar tables open, and I got back up and went back to the hostess and asked if they were first come first serve she said no but if you want that table we sit there since y’all have been waiting for a while. The owner of Rey’s just happened to be at the host stand and he was very rude when I asked about the Bar tables. He said oh no those are taken, and the girls at the host stand did not know how to respond.. the owner said we have other tables available and asked me why I didn’t let anyone know that I was ready to be seated..the owner of Rey’s asked why haven’t y’all come and got your table faster than this y’all should have come and let us know you were ready to sit down. I said we checked in at 7 o’clock. Our reservations were at 7:30 and we were told to wait in the bar and someone would come and get us when our table was ready. his response was y’all should have come and let us know that you were ready to sit down I said I did I’ve come and checked with my table or on my table multiple times that have been told that it wasn’t ready. The owner of Rey’s is very, very rude!

First time for dinner at Reys for Thanksgiving and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious. Turkey was a nice thick slice and not dried out. two slices of smoked Ham and all covered with a tasty, herbed gravy. Drinks were strong yet went down easily. Sides filled up the plate and refills of bread were given. Place was loaded with staff that brought bread and refilled water. Our server did an efficient job and made sure to communicate. She also had a personality. Overall, a good night and even complimentary valet parking. Would do it again and so should you.

A fine dining experience. Initially we were disappointed that our seating was not as requested by the front desk staff. We customarily dine here on Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve and ALWAYS get seated in the Magnolia room. Seeing my disappointment, Mr. Arias made our evening complete by accommodating us. Thank you Mr. Arias. Happy Thanksgiving!
