We are thrilled to announce the long-anticipated reopening of our restaurant! Step into the newly reimagined Landmark Tavern at The Ryland Inn, where the charm of a classic tavern meets the sophistication of modern dining. At the heart of our kitchen is Executive Chef Daniel Brunina, whose passion for local, fresh ingredients shines through in every dish. While the Tavern menu takes center stage, our culinary creativity extends far beyond. From cult wines and rare spirits to classic cocktails, the details are crafted to create an unforgettable dining experience. Set against a backdrop of unpretentious charm, with equestrian décor that reflects our rich history and playful spirit, The Ryland Inn is more than just a place to eat—it's again a destination for those who seek the joys of exceptional food, great company, and an atmosphere that feels like home. Welcome back to the Ryland, welcome home.

    First of all, food was outstanding. The steaks were terrific, the sides were great, the portions were very generous. (We went the Friday after Thanksgiving and now we have steakhouse leftovers in addition to turkey.) The service from Steven was also great - very knowledgeable, personable, but not intrusive. One caveat - the inside dining is very noisy. No rugs or tablecloths, and a high ceiling make for a noisy experience. The ambiance is fine. The food is pretty expensive - although I think it was worth it. I won't be eating here every week, but for special occasions, it's OK.
