About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
Enjoy the panoramic view of large oaks and a rolling stream from the many window-side tables, or the large, starlight deck. Or, savor the intimate atmosphere from a comfortable sofa, and in the winter, the warmth of a crackling fireplace.

Ryan's Chef creates a tantalizing selection of appetizers such as jumbo lump crabmeat, steamed mussels in garlic butter and white wine, and oysters Rockefeller. Entrees range from thick, juicy steaks and prime rib to the finest grilled fresh fish and live Maine lobster. Choose from the menu or a superb selection of specials offered nightly. Add a cappuccino and a freshly made dessert to seal the dining experience.

The restaurant has been locally owned and under the same management since 1981. Ryan's has been awarded the Wine Spectator's "Award of Excellence" and is often featured in national publications. Recently awarded the DiRoNa Award for Distinctive Fine Dining.

Please refer to our website for our dress code. It is enforced nightly.

    The food was delicious and the service was great! Perry was a very good waiter! The only negative thing is that there was a large party sitting right beside us and they were loud at times. The next time we dine at Ryan’s we will ask to sit in a different seat. The meal was very good.

    We go to Ryan's for special occasions and are never disappointed. It is very pricey though but the quality of the food is hard to beat.

    For the last 35 years we have gone to Ryan's for our Anniversary restaurant, I think once we strayed to another high end restaurant yet Ryan's is consistently Outstanding.We always go to Ryan's now to celebrate life's speacial moments. From the ambiance of Ryan's beautiful setting, to the delicious dinner, we both had Filet Mignon, which was as smooth to butter, to our waitress, every detail of our Dinner was perfection.. Thanks for being our perfect Anniversary spot, We will see you next year . The McClains

    The food and the service were second to none. The filet and lobster tail were cooked perfectly. The best loaded baked potato around was the perfect complement. Chocolate mousse and espresso closed the deal on the best meal I have had in Winston-Salem in a very long time.

    What a terrific dinner! The staff was wonderful — attentive, warm and unobtrusive in a good way. Our server, Kenny, was right there to make sure we had everything we needed before we even asked. The filet was cooked to perfection, delicious, and smooth as silk, and the scalloped potatoes were excellent. The restaurant was meticulously clean and just set a very relaxing mood.

    Food is great as always! Service was very slow and our waitress was not attentive. We will definitely be back! Food always makes up for it.

    As always, the food is prepared perfectly. There’s never a question or an issue with any of it. Weight staff is knowledgeable and helpful. It’s worth the hour and a half drive to get there. We appreciate the dress code as well. Always a pleasure to be there!
