Exceptional service: Tolu, our server, was well-versed in the menu. She knows in detail what things are made of and what flavors they hold! As for the food, I started with the sizzling oysters with the crab and artichoke dip. The oysters were chargrilled with butter and garnished with greenery. Dip was creamy, had some crab, but no lumps. For the entree, we enjoyed the bluegrass-spiced salmon and the lemon-rosemary brick chicken. That chicken was ten out of 20. Nice seared skin over the barley; the barley is in the grain family, so it gave healthy, lol. It kinda reminded me of quinoa. The broccolini is a hit; you get about five stalks in the à la carte side. The whipped potatoes were a perfect match with the chicken. As for the salmon, it was nicely cooked, with crispy edges and a sweet vinegar sauce. Salmon had a little crunch. Drinks: of course, I went with an Old Fashioned and a Rye Mule. Get the OF if you want a buzz. This place is a good buy! I will definitely visit again to try new entrees, and I want Tolu.

This is one of the best additions to the Baltimore Penisula. You will not feel like you are in Baltimore City and it is such a wonderful view and it is a a way from the hustle and bustle. There are so many items I could recommend but it is hard because they have seasonal entrees and drinks. This is a great spot for lunch happy hour and dinner with small or large groups. You would even enjoy a solo visit as well. Definitely worth a visit to Baltimore Penisula for Rye and other nearby local businesses.

It was really loud but it was nice to see so many people being lively. The food was really good. I enjoyed the Catfish, grits, collard greens and andouille sausage sauce. The drinks was strong, which isn’t a bad thing, I just needed to dilute mine a bit. The server Malia was great and even though there was a slight mishap with my food coming out they comped it without me having to ask. I will definitely be back.

I really enjoyed my meal here. The food was tasty, and the hospitality met my expectations-our server was pleasant and attentive. We sat outside, which was lovely, and the setting is scenic, making it a nice spot to relax. The only downside was that the portion sizes were a bit small. Parking is available, but note that it's limited to two hours. Overall, a pleasant experience that I would recommend.

Visited on a Friday evening in January at around 4:30 pm with no reservation. We were able to be seated and told upfront that our table would be needed by 6 pm...no problem. Our waiter (name was "Torrey" I think) was pleasant and answered our questions. Rather than offering free bread for the table, you must purchase it from the starter/appetizer menu at $7. The buttered bread- very much resembling four King's Hawaiian rolls- came sprinkled with salt (sea salt maybe?) and was accompanied by a nice honey butter. We were able to take advantage of the oyster happy hour and that was a nice deal. The wings were tasty as were the pork belly tots, but nothing particularly special. My son enjoyed the creme brulee. I would imagine this is a nice place to visit in spring/summer as well when the weather is warmer and you can sit outside. Parking was easy as there was a free lot. Gratuity was included. I do not know if this is an everyday thing or due to it being a Friday, after 4 pm, or both sort of thing.
