Yesterday (Easter Sunday) was my 2nd or third time back at the Rye Street Tavern. My parents had never been, so I thought they would enjoy it. Service was not the best, but this had NOTHING to do with the server, but there was a backup at the bar and my father never got his drink, and appetizers seemed to have taken a little longer than usual, and at one point, we were offered the wrong meal by one of the food runners. Michelle remained pleasant and professional, and I look forward to having her as a server again when I return. Also, Craig is one of the best hosts! She is always so kind and nice and I can really tell he loves his job.

Our Easter brunch selections were excellent; the sizzling oysters for a starter and Chesapeake Eggs Benedict and single crab cake for entrees. The dessert, strawberry-rhubarb crumble, was was heavenly . This was the second time that we have dined at Rye Street and once again the service was great; this time provided by Shawn on the patio. My only complaint is the parking system. While Parking is complimentary for two hours, the system to obtain the parking is laborious and takes way too long. Be prepared.

The bartender neglected to tell me that the drink I ordered wasn’t available, made a different, more expensive drink, dropped the check without mention and disappeared. Completely unprofessional and potentially dangerous if I had allergies since the drinks had different ingredients.

Sat in the bar. Food was great. Ambiance was great. Noise level was high but not so high it ruined dinner. Love this place
