    Showed up 45min early for reservation. Let them know we would be in the bar until then. At reserved time, we were seated back in the bar. Requires standard table when resi booked, but bar table was a high top. Service was from bartender who was busy with the bar. Quite disappointed with seating and service.

    The service was exceptional and the food was beyond what we could ask for. The kids meals for $9.99 were far beyond what was expected and the filet and ribeye we got were just fantastic. Everything was more than we could ask for.

    Me and my girlfriend had a much pleasurable time at Rye Street Tavern for Valentine’s Day. It was a packed house. The place is beautiful and the ambience is amazing. The servers were awesome as well. We really enjoyed ourselves. The food was prepared beautifully and was delicious. The steaks wasn’t made to our liking, but it was good for the most part. Thank you for a great opportunity for us to create memories together. We will be back soon especially when it gets hot outside.

    Everything about my experience at Rye Street Tavern was perfect! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and warm. Even though the place was busy, we felt like everyone was attentive to us, which really made the evening special. For Valentine’s Day, the filet mignon was absolutely exquisite—cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The whole fried chicken hen was a delightful surprise—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. The crab and artichoke dip was a perfect starter, rich and creamy with just the right balance of flavors. To top it all off, the cappuccino was smooth and comforting, and the wine selection complemented the meal beautifully. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and efficient, making the evening even more enjoyable. A+ all around! Rye Street Tavern has earned a special place in my heart, and I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended for any occasion!

    Went there for Valentine’s Day with my husband and had a great experience. The seafood appetizer was really good especially the oysters Rockefeller. I had the chicken/hen and my husband had the crabcakes. Both were really good! I really liked the palmetto cheese potatoes. Finished off with peanut butter cake which was amazing!!
