Always a great choice for an upscale dinner! Also the opportunity to support a local small business owner who works hard to support our community. Never will go wrong with Rey's View all feedback.

What Susan dislikes about Rey's:
This is a very old-school banquet hall-like restaurant with servers in black tie. Huge rooms with many tables and no ambience. Server was lovely but food was not good. View all feedback.

The service was slow. The waitress received an incorrect order resulting in a main course being served 10 minutes at a time. Nice place.

We had a great time on the River Crab on July 4th. The weather was spectacular and we decided to sit outside. It was perfect - the yellow umbrellas and the blue sky and water made a calm environment. Our waitress was attentive and met all of our needs. The food was excellent and we hated to go. We will definitely be back and I got the word out about this place. Watching the boats on the water is a huge plus. We hope we can now return to a sailboat ride and lunch which is offered during the week.

For some it's ... disappointed! Should have taken note of from reviews. Place has potential. The starters absolutely awful. Ordered potato crusted whitefish ... potatoes not cooked was gross. Woman's beef medallions are lit! The bread was excellent as was the wine, otherwise nothing special about this place. I will not come back

I cannot recommend this restaurant. The service was outstanding. The food was very mediocre. Probably the worst steak I have ever eaten at a restaurant. I had flashbacks to the steak my mother used to make as a kid that I would chew and chew until all the moisture was sucked out of my mouth and I would want to spit it out. We started with the summer salad, which was described as peaches, watermelon, tomato, cucumber, onion, goat cheese and bacon . What we were served was a salad of nectarines and beets with a few tomatoes, one tiny piece of cucumber and a side wedge of watermelon. Luckily, I like beets. But a third of this salad was beets. So, the oversight of mentioning a key ingredient leads me to believe that this salad doesn 't normally include beets. Or nectarines. And we were served a cobbled together salad of what was in the kitchen. I don 't know much about steak cuts. I had a choice of 10 ounce filet, 16 ounces ribeye or 16 ounces New York strip all for $50. I asked the waiter for the most marbled, juiciest cut. What came out was perfectly cooked. But it was sirloin. I know enough to see that there was not an iota of fat in that steak. It was pure red. So even cooked medium rare, it was impossible to cut (I hurt my wrist trying to cut it up), unpleasant to chew, and altogether incredibly disappointing. The staff tried to make it right. I give them credit. But I didn 't want a new steak. It seems to me, that the kitchen staff felt that this was an appropriate steak to put out to the consumer. And, as such, the restaurant should be judged on what they served. And I didn 't want a biased review. My friend ordered the salmon and said it was fine . She wouldn 't go out of her way to return just to eat the salmon. I would go out of my way to avoid returning.
