Great experience. We were lucky to get 3 bar seats for dinner and drinks on a Saturday night. The location of this restaurant is perfect. The decor and the atmosphere very pleasant. The appetizers and meals were great. The menu is very diverse, including some unique options and combinations that just work. The service from the bartender and his assistants was also fantastic.

From the minute you walk in, you feel welcome, and the place is cozy ,the whole staff is exceptional. THE MENU is exquisite, different, and Delicious . We picked the chef tasting menu- 7 course and it didnotdisappoint . We are not picky eaters, so we had no issues having chefs picks for us . Every time a plate was brought to us, staff explained with details and ingredients of our food. We were just wowed! With food and service yessss portions are small me and my hubby shared most plates but we were full by desserts. We thought it was all worth it

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”.

Restaurant Review: Rye – “Summer Break” Tasting Menu (Summer 2025) From the moment we walked in, Rye was firing on all cylinders. Greeted by a vibrant, attentive waitress who recognized us from a prior visit, we immediately felt like welcomed regulars—and that sense of thoughtful hospitality didn’t let up for the rest of the night. The Summer Break tasting menu is a clever, nostalgic, and deeply creative journey through childhood memories, reframed through high-concept culinary technique. Each course is a chapter in a familiar-yet-foreign story, and this time around, Rye has truly elevated its game. Course 1: “Breakfast in Front of the TV” Paired with a banana bread old fashioned, this trio of truffle bagel, “bacon & eggs,” and cereal milk tart was a playful and delicious start. Each bite delivered familiar flavors with gourmet execution, while the cocktail was warmly spiced and reminiscent of boozy banana bread. Palette Cleanser: “Drink Your OJ” Inspired by the chef’s childhood, the Filipino salamalamig hit the citrusy, sour notes just right—refreshing and nostalgic. Course 2: “Yardwork” The dish leaned savory and earthy, like a vegetal “sh*t on a shingle” (in the best way). The Skouras 2022 Moscofilero wine was a smart, slightly sweet counterbalance. Bonus points for the whimsical presentation: we were rewarded with 2 bills as our post-yardwork allowance. Genius. Course 3: “Snacktime” A playful riff on Dunkaroos, featuring roasted salsify with a white chocolate truffle “dip.” Paired with a sharp Siglo Viente cocktail, this was a fun, flavorful interlude. Courses 4 & 5: “Going to the Pool” & “Sunburn” The Capri Sun Firewater pairing was a bold twist on a Manhattan—not my personal favorite, but certainly memorable. The escolar dish was delicately presented, sashimi-style, while the crab toast brought freshness and impeccable texture. Both were standout bites. Course 6: “Lunchtime” Aguachile limeade (served in a Sprite bottle!) accompanied a ceviche taco that was absolutely next-level. It felt like the menu had tapped into a perfect childhood summer memory. Course 7: “Ice Cream Truck” Foie gras gelato with caviar, sesame, and black cake. A polarizing concept on paper—but one taste and I would commit a felony to eat it again. Paired with Charles Mignon Champagne, this course might’ve stolen the night. Course 8: “Snack Before Dinner” A single quail “McNugget” with house-made Fernet BBQ sauce—both heavenly. The nugget delivered nostalgia and flavor in equal measure, and that BBQ sauce needs to be bottled and sold yesterday. Course 9: “Grilling Out” Wagyu skewer and Japanese elote. Both individually perfect, together a powerhouse. Bold, smoky, buttery—like summer distilled into two bites. Course 10: “Bee Sting” Peaches, burnt honey ice cream, pistachio, pollen salt. Paired with a Turkish delight iced tea, this dessert was both delicate and intense. It had texture, elegance, and a gentle sweetness that felt like the climax of a great novel. Course 11: “Bedtime (Snack)” A sheep’s milk peanut butter mousse featuring celery seed brittle and... black ants. A Snickers on steroids, with a delicate blue cheese funk. Paired with a 2018 Erben Riesling Eiswein, this was bold, weird, and delicious—a perfect ending. ⸻ Final Thoughts: Rye’s Summer Break menu is more than just a meal—it’s a story, an experience, and a masterclass in how to build a playful fine dining narrative. Compared to our previous visit, this was a substantial step up, absolutely reaching Michelin-star quality. Every element—flavor, presentation, pairing, pacing, and service—was dialed in. If you’re a fan of elevated tasting menus that combine nostalgia with serious culinary talent, Rye deserves a spot at the top of your list. I don’t give standing ovations lightly, but this one earned it.

Absolutely loved this place! The drinks were fantastic—my saki and gin cocktail was a standout, and my friend’s rye and pumpkin drink was both unique and delicious. The food was equally impressive. The wagyu hot dogs on rye bread were unbelievable, and the local roasted vegetables, pasta, and tacos were all perfectly prepared and flavorful. We finished with their espresso chocolate cake, which was rich and decadent—a perfect ending to the meal. Highly recommend giving this spot a try!

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.

Went to Rye Dallas for a friend’s birthday with a group of six, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and our server was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the evening. The food was excellent—creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. They offer a great variety of dishes, which made it easy for everyone in our group to find something they loved. Highly recommend for a fun night out or special occasion!

Excellent creative food in a fun, casual, and welcoming environment. We loved the chef’s tasting w wine pairings. Gregory knows his wines! Everything was great but I really loved the octopus monkfish curry and the duck dish with pistachio - release the quack-en! Biggest bourbon collection I have seen and Heather will help you create a flight!
