    The restaurant exhorts an ambience for both energetic people and those who wants a nice time to unwind. It is a bit loud in the restaurant at night, I’m not sure about the day time, but I would love to go back for the pasta!

    The overall experience was great. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and is by the water. The server was attentive and personable. She had good menu knowledge and offered recommendations. The food was tasty and well presented. Food service was timely and competitively priced. I only have one suggestion on the food. I would upgrade the quality of the ribeye. The steak was by no means bad but I would have preferred a better quality steak.

    The setting and food were great. Service on this day needs to be improved. The bar tenders and wait staff were not very attentive. I would go back because it's a really nice vibe and scenery. The managers were really nice. I think the wait staff need to be trained better and just care more about service.

    Last night's dinner for five at Rye Street was excellent. We were celebrating two birthdays and began with a cocktail at the first floor bar. Service was exemplary, knowledgable and friendly. Our dinner on the upper level was equally good. Our sever, Nick, (salt and pepper) answered our questions with ease and gave recommendations. He was extremely pleasant and handled the group with ease. Among the orders of crab cakes, rock fish, and steak, it was all delicious. The only snag, was that one of the steak dinners wasn't ready in a timely manner. We enjoyed a variety of wines by the glass. We topped off the evening with shared desserts. Lovely. Two members of the group had dined at the restaurant in its first rendition. Both agreed that the current Rye Street Tavern is s a huge improvement. Can't wait to return!

    The drinks, dinner and wine were outstanding, as was the value of the meal. The layout of the restaurant was not designed to dampen the noise level. The noise in the restaurant made it impossible to carry on a conversation at our table without frequent repeating of words. Otherwise I would rate the restaurant outstanding.

    The service was excellent, even on a busy night. The food and drinks were good, definitely nothing wrong with them, but still feel like the price is a bit high. I didn’t know Clyde’s was its parent company, so the price makes sense. And at least the food was much better than original Clyde’s. Would recommend to check it out, but would more than likely just try to come back for happy hour specials rather than a full dinner.
