The pork belly lollipops were incredibly tender, while my husband thoroughly enjoyed the tacos, and I was enamored with the duck dish. The service was exceptional, and this place would have been one of our favorite date night destinations. We hope they can rebuild soon!

Truly the food is five star. Three of us shared 6 plates which were more than enough. Cacio e Pepe and Corn-Ucopia and the pork belly lollipops were stand outs. Price pp with drinks and tip was $90 which was very fair. But our waiter was snotty. Before he even asked us what we wanted to drink, he started describing the menu. I politely asked him to hold off on that until we had an opportunity to get a cocktail and chat a bit. Clearly, he didn’t like that nor us as a result. Not very hospitable of him.

The food is masterful, with burst of unique flavors that go so well together. We cannot wait for another date night at Rye.

Our server recommended a delightful bottle of Malbec to accompany our tasting experience. The meal felt like a journey through the world of flavors, with each dish standing out in its own unique way. I would never have thought to order or prepare these dishes myself, but every bite was an explosion of flavor, texture, and presentation. I'm still thinking about it two days later! Having dined at many fantastic restaurants, I rarely give 5-star reviews, but Rye deserves it for its innovative food pairings, attentive and friendly staff, and the relaxing atmosphere. If you visit Rye, be sure to try the tasting menu—you won't regret it!

Food is always fabulous, and the menu rotates (while keeping the favorites) to offer new things each season. No meal would be complete without superb drinks and the bar staff kills it here with every drink. 12 outa 5 stars would massively recommend.
