    We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary at RYE. The food was extraordinary—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. We both loved the featured duck. The service was impeccable! The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, making us feel truly valued. They even surprised us with a complementary champagne toast to commemorate our milestone. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We highly recommend RYE for any special occasion—or even just a memorable night out.

    My mother and I dined here on Easter and we had a most magnificent time! Our server Marty was wonderful, caring, and humorous. Thank you for his service. I noticed that this Red Lobster could use a makeover. The carpet looks worn and dirty, and the bench we were sitting had torn fabric. Also, the dust on the ledges was quite noticeable.
