I really enjoyed my meal here. The food was tasty, and the hospitality met my expectations-our server was pleasant and attentive. We sat outside, which was lovely, and the setting is scenic, making it a nice spot to relax. The only downside was that the portion sizes were a bit small. Parking is available, but note that it’s limited to two hours.
Overall, a pleasant experience that I would recommend.

Visited on a Friday evening in January at around 4:30 pm with no reservation. We were able to be seated and told upfront that our table would be needed by 6 pm…no problem. Our waiter (name was “Torrey” I think) was pleasant and answered our questions. Rather than offering free bread for the table, you must purchase it from the starter/appetizer menu at $7. The buttered bread- very much resembling four King’s Hawaiian rolls- came sprinkled with salt (sea salt maybe?) and was accompanied by a nice honey butter. We were able to take advantage of the oyster happy hour and that was a nice deal. The wings were tasty as were the pork belly tots, but nothing particularly special. My son enjoyed the creme brulee. I would imagine this is a nice place to visit in spring/summer as well when the weather is warmer and you can sit outside. Parking was easy as there was a free lot. Gratuity was included. I do not know if this is an everyday thing or due to it being a Friday, after 4 pm, or both sort of thing.

I am beyond pleased and impressed by the amazing food, staff, and ambience at Rye Street! My now husband and I scheduled a destination wedding to Jamaica that was unfortunately cancelled due to hurricane Melissa. With only 34 days until our date, we needed to shift and quickly. Anthony the GM and Natalie, the event manager were beyond accommodating! We were able to shift to having a lunch reception at Rye Street to celebrate our nuptials. This was such an important day for us and being at Rye Street made it magical. I cannot thank you all enough!!! If you are looking for a yummy lunch, Prosecco and oysters, or a beautiful private event, this is the place to go!

Cool atmosphere right next to sagamore. Other than that it is just a standard restaurant with average food. It also wasn’t very busy and the server could have been better. The people that brought out the food didn’t know who got what and actually gave the wrong temperature burgers out. Plates were left empty on the table.

Was in town for a Ravens game and decided to grab dinner before driving back to NJ. Glad this place was recommended. I jumped on OpenTable and got my reservation secured. Arrived and was immediately seated. Service was prompt, warm, friendly and professional. Turner was fantastic and attentive, very personable. The food was even better. We started with the crab & artichoke dip with warmed sliced bread. My wife had a butternut squash dish, our son had the braised ribs and rigatoni. I had the shrimp and spaghettini in a white wine lemon sauce. Absolute perfection. Warm apple crumble with vanilla ice cream was shared to cap it off. Here is a pic of my dish as my daughter always says, phone eats first.

PERFECT place for special occasions or taking out-of-town family. I took my dad and he really enjoyed the oysters. Live music is pretty much every weekend during warmer months. View is great, staff are friendly and knowledgeable. My favorite part is walking along the path around the water. There’s benches periodically to sit and relax. Hidden gem for sure!!

Made it here on a late Sunday evening, food was amazing, the service was excellent! I wanted the salmon but they had just run out, so I had the wings instead. Maybe next time! Definitely recommend.

The ambiance was really beautiful. When we entered it was really bright and beautiful in the entryway. Then when we entered the dining room it had a really romantic vibe. Greta was great and really patient with us. They were out of some things but we didn’t have much of an appetite so we had oysters, wings, and sea-cuterie. Everything was great, can’t wait to come back!!

I had a fantastic experience at Rye Street Tavern! The restaurant’s beautiful waterfront setting and cozy atmosphere made for the perfect dining spot. Our waitress was extremely nice and made the experience even better. I was initially skeptical about trying the chicken rice bowl, but after adding shrimp—OMG, it was mouthwatering! Their bread was good, but the real star was the butter—so flavorful! Overall, all of our food was really good. I can’t wait to visit again!

Visited here for dinner. Fantastic pasta options, but the real kicker were the rolls. I’ve never rolls so pillowy and buttery. I came with my girlfriend and her family, and we still bring up the rolls occasionally. At least I do! I also loved the decor, it felt very rustic. There’s a nice green space and water area next to the place as well.
