Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Rye is one of our favorite restaurants in the area, but they went above and beyond yesterday…our daughters threw my husband and I a 30th anniversary party and I cannot say enough about how impressed we were!! The room was beautiful, the food, delicious and the service, outstanding. They did a brunch at noon with all the basics we like: scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon and sausage…the girls added on a fruit plate and selection of pastries…well…”fruit plate” was 2 platters of fresh watermelon, pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, blueberries, strawberries, and sliced oranges…all beautifully arranged! The “selection of pastries” was the BEST of everything the sister restaurant, The Garage at Rye serves!! AMAZING: their classic brown bread with cream cheese and olives, their blueberry lemon loaf, Nutella, almond, plain, and pistachio croissants, and muffins!! They even had plates of the loafs on each table. Also on the menu, coffee, orange & cranberry juices! The bar was also open—and if you know Rye—drinks were outstanding! The whole event crew made us feel welcome and valued and pushed the whole vibe over the top! The side room comfortably fit the buffet and 30+ guests. Side note: they also have several beautiful, spacious Air B&Bs that they run; 3 upstairs, 2 across the street and more in progress…making Rye Bar THE place to host your next event!!

We chose to host our parents’ 30th Anniversary party at Rye with 30 of their closest friends. We were able to have a beautiful, intimate private event in their back room and the accommodations and thoughtful details really made it spectacular. Three different catering menus were offered with a variety of options and we settled on doing a buffet style brunch. We enjoyed scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, home fries, fresh fruit platters, and a generous assortment of their homemade pastries. Juices and coffee as well as an open bar made sure everyone got a beverage they enjoyed. The whole process was quite seamless and when we arrived to set up, the room was all ready beautifully and thoughtfully arranged for us. Laura, the event coordinator, did a great job. She went above and beyond and took care of everything we needed. We were all able to relax and enjoy delicious food and drinks within a welcoming setting. Thank you!!

We both ordered a burger. I ordered fries and a side of onion rings. Took 50 minutes to get our food. The waitress didn't check on us a single time. No napkins were given. Food came out hot and fresh. The burger was good. As were the fries and onion rings. But $5 for 6 onion rings doesn't seem worth it. Nice and clean. But the smell was off putting. Seems like maybe they were doing construction or flooring. We will not be returning but I would still suggest people to at least try.
