About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
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.

    First time dining at Ryan’s. Everything was exceptional. James was our server and he was over the top. The only thing was the noise level. It was tolerable but felt we had to talk louder to hear each other at our table. Would highly recommend Ryan’s to anyone and we will be back!

    Food was very good, but the restaurant was very dark. We observed many guests needing to use their phone flashlights to view the menu. We had to use the table candle to read it. Everything was great except for the darkness.

    We celebrated my husband's birthday with dinner at Ryan's. Everything was exquisite from the time we walked in. We were seated at a table with a beautiful view of the creek. We ordered the ahi tuna tartare, arugula salad, wagyu filet, and vanilla bean creme brulee. The food was absolutely delicious and our server (Dylan), went out of her way to ensure we were happy and my husband's birthday was special. I highly recommend Ryan's!

    This was our first time dining at Ryans. It was pleasurable and we will return. The food was excellent. The service was outstanding. Matt, our waiter, offered excellent suggestions and guided us through a wonderful meal. Thank you to all the staff and chef at Ryans.

    In one year the service level at Ryan's has significantly deteriorated. My hope is that it's an isolated incident but I emailed about three days ago regarding the experience and have yet to hear a word from them. Disappointing to say the least.
