Enjoy the panoramic view of large oaks and a rolling stream from the many window-side tables, or the large, starlight deck. Or, savor the intimate atmosphere from a comfortable sofa, and in the winter, the warmth of a crackling fireplace.

Ryan's Chef creates a tantalizing selection of appetizers such as jumbo lump crabmeat, steamed mussels in garlic butter and white wine, and oysters Rockefeller. Entrees range from thick, juicy steaks and prime rib to the finest grilled fresh fish and live Maine lobster. Choose from the menu or a superb selection of specials offered nightly. Add a cappuccino and a freshly made dessert to seal the dining experience.

The restaurant has been locally owned and under the same management since 1981. Ryan's has been awarded the Wine Spectator's "Award of Excellence" and is often featured in national publications. Recently awarded the DiRoNa Award for Distinctive Fine Dining.

Please refer to our website for our dress code. It is enforced nightly.

    Restaurant Review We had a great experience! Jessica, our server, was attentive and friendly. We started with the Wagyu meatballs in marinara—fantastic flavor. The Monday 50% off bottled wine special is a great perk! For entrees, I enjoyed the lump crab cake, and my wife had the Joyce Farm chicken—both delicious. Although the menu hasn’t changed much, the quality remains top-notch. The frozen bananas foster pie was the perfect finish. Also, they’ve upgraded to paper bags and better packaging, which is a nice touch. Overall: Excellent food, friendly service, and great value. Highly recommend!
