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.

    Everything was excellent. At home intimacy in a public place. Classy, kind upper class people, from the staff to the clientele. I can’t wait to go back. Lots of regulars for a reason. I went to prom here in 1988 and I’m still going because it’s my favorite place. Never any rif raf or shenanigans…and from what I can tell. They operate off of the old school rule of the customer is never wrong. I had a last minute request and the young lady granted it, just like that. Always an amazing experience. Thank you Ryans!

    The food was excellent and generous portions, our server was attentive and very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is nice. It was our first time in. We sat at the fireplace which was great for me but they also have a lot of window seats looking out over a lit wooded area that would also be great. It was a bit loud but we were there at prime dinner time on a Saturday night so that’s to be expected. Will definitely be back.

    I checked this place out for the first time and really dug the cozy vibe. The service was pretty good and the food was awesome - I'd totally go back just for the tasty eats! The mushroom and mac and cheese sides were a little salty for me but still solid. It's a bit pricey but worth it for a special night out like anniversary or V-day. The awesome food and chill atmosphere make it a great spot to celebrate something. I recommend this place. Will be back again!

    Delicious food; gold standard service. Ryans has been one of our favorites for special celebrations for decades. The atmosphere is wonderful. We were there with my parents celebrating our wedding anniversaries; 36 yrs for us and 66 yrs for my parents. Thank you Ryan’s!
