    This was my first time at the "new" Rye Street Tavern so I was curious to see what was new. There were some changes to the design but kept the fabulous bar. Menu was varied enough for many tastes. My dinner companion and I shared the Rockfish and Steak Frites. Both were very good. The one comment about the steak - we ordered it medium rare and it came to us VERY rare. We ate it but other diners might be put off by the under cooking. It was, however, delicious. Our server was excellent. The noise level is ridiculously loud in the bar. We ate in the upstairs dining room which was ok except we were by the door to the service hall and witnessed two crashes because the wait staff were rushing like crazy. Overall, it was a good experience, and we'll likely return in the warmer weather to try it al fresco.

    Parking is always an issue. If they add valet parking it would be much better.

    Was seated, order taken, food and drinks arrived promptly, then it all went a little downhill, was checked on once and then abandoned for the whole remaining of the visit until I asked the bartender if we had to pay with him or what, mind you we were not seated at the bar. But the food was great, it made up for it and the place is really nice.

    The waiter was exceptional. Provide great customer service and was very attentive. It was a nice day so some patrons were enjoying the weather and water view on the outside patio. The restaurant is very inviting and the staff warm and accommodating.

    The food was delicious but the service was not. Our server was not at all engaging nor friendly. She seemed like she was unhappy to be working on a Sunday and didn't even thank us for coming in. For the $550 we spent on dinner, I expected a higher level of service which we did not receive. Additionally, we were celebrating an anniversary and it was never acknowledged by anyone the entire time we were there. The server was slow to say the least and we had to ask her about specials before ordering dinner. She never smiled and was not the least bit engaging to our party. While the restaurant is very nice and food is good, the staff needs some training on customer service. For the amount of money we pay for food and the experience, we were left a bit underwhelmed. I'm not sure I would recommend this restaurant to others. This was our third visit in 7 months.

    Dropped in after a tasting and tour at the distillery next door. Great service, great food and great atmosphere. Highly recommend the fried green tomato appetizer and the bread pudding!
