"It was alright and nothing special. Their steaks were not cured or aged. For a place that advertises itself as a steakhouse it does not have a good selection. Their beer/wine list was not that impressive either."

"Great experience... Prime Rib melted in my mouth. And My Wife's allergies were properly cared for by the Server, Manager and Chef. Its rare to see such careful attention given, when more often, her dietary restrictions seem to be more of a burden. Not at the RyeGate!.. Thanks again!"

"I was disappointed in my visit to the RyeGate. The steaks arrived undercooked and my potatoes were cold in spots.The meal was definitely not worth the money. Maybe I caught them on a bad night, but in this price range there shouldn't be any bad nights."

"Our server showed up a total of 3 times on the table... Twice to take orders and once to deliver bill... So that's pretty frustrating. And $4 for a TINY bit of bleu cheese on top of my sirloin is a bit offensive. Maybe this was because we came in at 8:30PM? Not sure, but then again I'm not sure I'll give this place another shot by coming in earlier..."

"After Reserving A Table 3 Weeks In Advance, Upon Arrival We Were Seated In A Area Where We Did Not Want To Sit And Told Staff We Did Not Want To Sit There, And Were Told All Other Tables Were for customers with reservations and I Told Her We Had A Reservation And Would Not Be Returning Again, We sat at the table and ordered a bottle of wine, Shortly after receiving the wine The Manager showed up and said there was a mixup with the seating Staff and we could sit in the area where wanted to sit., After That All Went Pretty Well., I will be thinking twice before I return with my wife for Dinner., Had It Not Been For Valentines Day We Would Have Walked Out And Dined Elsewhere.,"

"We went there for the Winter Bites special. The night would have been terrific except for one major flaw. We waited almost 1 hour between our appetizers and our dinner to be served. The waiter kept us informed of the delays, but it was just too long. I understand there was an issue in the kitchen per the waiter, but it was still a very long night.
Other than that the food, presentation, ambiance were good."
