Rye

Adventurous & Delicious

What makes it fun

Want to step up your date night game with something deliciously daring and cleverly chic? Rye is a great date spot where the cuisine is creative, the cocktails are award winning, and the ambiance is just right for two. Rye balances rustic charm (brick walls, wood beams) with a refined edge. The menu features seasonal, adventurous dishes like pork belly “lollipops,” caviar cannoli, or an order of long range atomic mussels. Or take things to a new level with the chef's tasting menu. Rye’s cocktail program is serious (they earned an Exceptional Cocktail award from the Michelin Guide Texas in 2024) so you can toast to the night with something spectacular.

I recently hosted a corporate private event here and bought out the restaurant for the night. Rye and the entire team was impeccable. Amanda was the manager working with us, and she truly went above and beyond to make our event amazing. The food, the service, the bartenders - everything was absolutely TOP TOP notch. I'm looking forward to coming back!

While their food is mostly seafood and in small serving sizes, their drinks and staff are absolutely amazing! I complimented a bartender on the drink he made for me, and he made it stronger when I asked for a second, haha! The staff were so friendly, the place was clean, and overal it was just a good experience.

Let me tell you what.. we have been to so many restaurants for birthdays and occasions. Rye went above and beyond. 1. The chefs menu for this Fall season will knock your socks off. Our favorite was the mushroom tart with blue cheese ice cream. No need to clutch your pearls, because you will be too busy doing what you can to not devour this dish in a flash. 2. The service was A1. Wendy did a phenomenal job explaining the dishes and we learned so much history of grains and how they are artfully and deliciously woven into each bite. 3. We felt at home and welcomed beyond anything we have experienced before. Not only great culinary experience and service, but with it being a birthday, we got a card, the opportunity to meet the chefs, and some great gifts from the team. 4.The ambiance and setting were cozy and suave. Giving speakeasy with class and some hidden library vibes. I cannot recommend a better setting to celebrate or to just have an unforgettable experience. Thank you Wendy, chefs, and Rye team for providing this great experience to us. ♥️ see you all again!!

The place was amazing and the atmosphere as well, very dark academia aesthetic, the food was really unexpected but really good, and drinks were just as good. Wendy also gave us the best service and we even got to meet the chefs which is rare in many restaurants. I would definitely come back!

Fantastic food and ambiance, questionable portion size. We ordered a la carte instead of the tasting menu. Of the drinks we ordered (fernet-ture, fire island, wake and bake), I enjoyed the fire island the most and fernet-ture to be mediocre. Icelandic hot dog and I'll shoyu were both delightful and pleasant. We were told that the pork belly lollipop, don't be shellfish, and the lamb belly were sharable, but I highly disagree. We did share the three (all delicious, with the ocean trout being the highlight) but were mostly left not fully sated as the portion is barely for one person (closer to half-portion size, considering we live in Texas). We were not sated until dessert, where the cheesecake and Kraut cake can definitely be shared across three to four people for each cake. The ganache and the meringue on the Kraut cake are addicting and a must-try. This place would be an absolute 5-star review if the portions of the a la carte were larger. I do want to try the tasting menu one day, but the price tag is quite too high, even for a high-end restaurant that hasn't achieved a michelin star yet. I will visit again, although only for special occasions rather than frequent.

Fantastic food! A great culinary experience! Ask what the most popular dishes are and you can’t go wrong. Especially with my favorite “don’t be shellfish”. An infusion of flavors that was the pinnacle of the meal! Cocktails are exquisite and my new favorite is the “fernet-ture”.

I'm really impressed with how much time and attention the wait staff gives to the customers here. The fact that they offer a vegetarian tasting menu is a big plus for me and one of the reasons why we came here. My colleagues got the regular tasting and I had the veggie option. They're still pretty similar but I think the veggie option has 1-2 dishes less. Normally a tasting menu should be enjoyed for the entire evening, but our group was in a hurry. Our waiter did an incredible job of bringing out each dish pretty quickly and managing our time really well. Each dish was really unique and I had multiple favourites. The vegetarian steak tartar (za'atartare) was so unexpected and absolutely delicious - it was vegetarian and the textures and taste were phenomenal. Everyone in the group thought it was incredible. Other winners were the mushroom taco and the corn-ucopia. The chocolate dessert with the pine crumble was also so delicious and you could really taste the pine. It was pretty awesome. Finally, at the end of our meal, they offered to take us to the back and introduce us to the chef. He and his team were very kind, and they even gave us a small take-away with the grits that they used to make the cornucopia. I really appreciated the thoughtful gestures and was also very impressed with the delicious food.
