"Never had a bad meal here but staff and atmosphere need real help. Wednesday 7/20/2022 6pm reservations. Promptly greeted and seated.Too dark to read the menu. (Three tables near us also used the flashlight on their phone)To make matters worse we hadone person at our table facing the front of the restaurant and the bright light was blinding him. No shade on the window todraw down. Waiter did not care. Music is not fine dining and too loud. (50?s Hound Dog Elvis, and Animal House Shout we?re thefirst two songs and it continued) This is advertised as a fine dining establishment based on food, drinks and prices,unfortunately some people think shorts and a T shirt are acceptable anywhere. Wish this place (and others) had a dress code. We like to dress up and celebrate when we go out for an occasion. This isn?t a pancake house which I also love and wearshorts and a T shirt to when I go but Rye is labeled as fine dining. Atmosphere was nice upon entry (6pm weeknight) but by7:25pm the conversations were so noisy it was way too much. Food: Stuffed Date small plate, quantity 4 exactly as described.Marinara spiced sauce under the dates also very tasty. Whiskey Shrimp small plate had a wonderful garlic herb tomato sauce addictive sopped it up with the bread! Pork chops with carrots tender and delicious! Salmon perfectly cooked and awesomesauce. Brussels sprouts were cook thru and charred on the outside. Burger great! Hint of heat with the jalapeños but thejerk sauce makes it fabulous. Pink as ordered. Ravioli with the arugula on the side. More al dente then I like but delicioussauce and filling. Waiter Shane knew the menu very well. He initially was attentive but once entrees were served and tablesstarted filling we were forgotten. He walked by and asked if everything was ok but was past the table before we could respondand looked over his shoulder as one of us said ?tastes good!? Also Shane never came back for more drinks and our empty bar"

"We found the portion sizes to be a bit small, especially since we were a party of four, but that’s understandable. I particularly enjoyed the shaved Brussels salad (without blue cheese); it was delicious and made the visit worthwhile. The flavors were well balanced, and the miso dressing was tasty and addictive. I highly recommend this dish to everyone! The burrata was decent given the price, although it came with some not-so-pretty sour strawberries—something outside the restaurant's control, perhaps. There were also minimal chili flakes on the dish, and while there were more pieces of bread than shown in the photo, with four of us at the table, there wasn't much to share. That said, the burrata paired nicely with the Brussels salad. The calamari was crispy and best enjoyed while hot, though those who tried it said they wouldn’t order it again. For dessert, we shared tres leches, which was tasty, and they kindly added a candle for my friend. One highlight of the meal was the drinks; I’d definitely return to sample more. The "Let's Get Fizzical" was delicious and perfectly crafted. I was hesitant about a drink made with egg whites, but it turned out great. The "Evening Prayers" was also good and quite strong, which is to be expected when mixing vodka, gin, and wine. Additionally, I noticed the restaurant offers brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, and I’d be interested in trying some items from their brunch menu, but overall, my experience was pretty average."
