We are thrilled to announce the long-anticipated reopening of our restaurant! Step into the newly reimagined Landmark Tavern at The Ryland Inn, where the charm of a classic tavern meets the sophistication of modern dining. At the heart of our kitchen is Executive Chef Daniel Brunina, whose passion for local, fresh ingredients shines through in every dish.

While the Tavern menu takes center stage, our culinary creativity extends far beyond. From cult wines and rare spirits to classic cocktails, the details are crafted to create an unforgettable dining experience. Set against a backdrop of unpretentious charm, with equestrian décor that reflects our rich history and playful spirit, The Ryland Inn is more than just a place to eat—it's again a destination for those who seek the joys of exceptional food, great company, and an atmosphere that feels like home.

Welcome back to the Ryland, welcome home.

    "In terms of decor, Ralph Lauren would be jealous." -The New York Times. Romantic and luxurious, equestrian yet refined. Built in 1796, The Ryland Inn is a former country home and stagecoach stop. Today, it is a redesigned space that boasts exposed wood beams, elegant chandeliers, and exceptional cuisine. Both spaces are located on opposite sides of the property, ensuring exclusive use of the facility. Nestled on these 10 acres are overnight accommodations as well. The Grand Ballroom- With the feel of a country farmhouse paired with modern flair, the breathtaking 30' windows and matching stone fireplace play perfectly in concert with the glimmer and glow of our chandeliers. The Coach House- Our refurbished 200-year-old barn is nothing short of magnificent for your next event. Utilizing the original silo and materials from the original barn, this space is unique, authentic and dramatic. For more info: 866.683.3586 or events@landmarkvenues.com.

    I love the Ryland Inn. I got married here and have had dinner here multiple times and their dinner is amazing but their brunch leaves something to be desired. It was very lacking and didn’t have all the things they said they had online. It was 2 or 3 stations with not much food. Definitely not worth the $50-80 per person. Very disappointing!! Would not come back for brunch or suggest it to anyone.

    The menu is minimal, very little options. We both settled for a meal which was ok. Our server was not attentive to our table. She walked away several times and gave us an attitude when we declined a dessert menu. We waited over 15 minutes for our first drink and the second came after we finished our meal. This used to be my favorite place before they shut down. I was disappointed for our first time back. I would go back for cocktails at the bar but nothing else until they offer a better dinner menu

    we love the Ryland Inn. It's a wonderful atmosphere with incredibly good food. however, on our last visit it took almost 3 hours to complete our meal. Very, very long time.

    Food was incredible. Service was also great. Bartenders make some of the best cocktails I have ever had and are very friendly. Would highly recommend.
