Came to Rye for a pop-up tasting menu featuring RJ Yoakum, and the whole night was a vibe from start to finish. We arrived early and grabbed pre-dinner cocktails on the patio, which honestly set the tone for the evening. The fire pit tables + evening atmosphere were perfect. We kept it classic with Old Fashioneds and martinis, and both were very well executed. Simple, balanced, and clearly made by someone who knows what they're doing. There was also a blueberry graham cracker cocktail (can't remember the name, unfortunately) that was surprisingly delicious and easily could've been dessert in a glass. The tasting itself was an 8-course menu and absolutely incredible. Since this was a one-night pop-up, I won't go into detail on the food, but every course was thoughtful, creative, and genuinely delicious. One of those meals where you're excited for the next plate the second the last one's cleared. Service really stood out. The team was attentive without hovering, cleaned up seamlessly between courses, and made sure our drinks were never empty. They also offered solid wine pairings that complemented the menu really well and elevated the experience overall. One extra thing that really sealed it for me: after dinner, the second chef Taylor and the owner/manager Tanner came over and hung out with us for a bit. As someone who's a bit of a foodie nerd, I genuinely appreciate when chefs and operators take the time to talk food, concepts, and the thought behind the menu. It made the experience feel personal and intentional, not just transactional. If this pop-up is any indication of what Rye is capable of, it's definitely a place worth returning to. Great atmosphere, great drinks, and a team that clearly cares about the experience. Would absolutely come back. read more

Rye was a first-rate experience. A cozy atmosphere with a brilliant musical soundtrack, a standout bar menu (so impressed, we went back a second night), and a highly engaged staff that consistently demonstrated attentive, warm hospitality. Our dining party enjoyed the Chef's tasting menu, which was expertly presented and beautifully prepared. Our server, Trinity, explained each course and was readily available for follow up questions. She was friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of the preparations. Executive Chef Taylor Rause was frequently in the dining room, too, assisting in service and in explanations, sometimes tying the food back to personal experiences, which was delightful to hear and understand. The overarching theme of ancient grains permeated the entire tasting menu, creating a delicious and unifying thread. The small courses ranged from good to outstanding. Standouts for us were a pavé of celery root and green apple with a spelt crisp, a tiny masa tortilla stuffed with turkey chorizo, and a stunningly smoky wagyu spinalis with an unbelievable Bordelaise. A couple dishes missed those high marks a tad, such as a chicken leg with an einkorn biscuit that was light on flavor and a bit under-seasoned. All of us likewise felt the desserts lacked some of the same uniqueness of the previous plates. But these are small quibbles in an otherwise memorable experience that was capped by a brief visit to the kitchen, a good chance to wholeheartedly thank Chef Rause and Chef de Cuisine Jay Vopatek for a great night. High recommended. read more

"Rye" is a restaurant's restaurant. If that sounded pretentious, it's because so is Rye. If you view restaurants as an art form, Rye is the crème de la crème. Notice that fancy word? You'll find other such fancy words on the Rye menu. I'm warming you up. I'm personally restaurant illiterate, so wasn't this place's target audience. And it didn't help that my fiancée and I had just come from Four Day Weekend Improv down the street, so I was preoccupied with questioning whether I could make 200 people laugh on command like they did. My fiancée, on the other hand, IS restaurant literate. And she loved it here. While my reaction to the "Icelandic Hotdog" on the menu was to groan, she got excited at the prospect of a bitesized piece of foreign sausage. When my cocktail came out with an 8" inch ice rectangular prism in it, I was more excited about whipping it around the glass than I was about drinking it. My fiancée commented on the "notes of parsley." Regardless, Rye is great. Lower Greenville needed a fine dining experience that appeals to foodies and cocktail lovers, and Rye is that place. Great service and decor too, truly a well run restaurant. read more

I wanted to love this place because I love Flamant and Apothecary because all three have the same menu and cocktail creators, but this place was a total let down. Points for presentation on the food and cocktails, but it was all a little too much. 3/4 in our group ordered the bitter beekeeper (gin drink) and I enjoyed that. The fourth friend ordered a gin drink with pineapple and salt foam, it was so weird. She ended up sending it back and they comped that drink HIGHLY APPRECIATED. The "I'll Shoyu" and beef hotdog thing were both the best parts of the whole meal but they were "individual" bite size appetizers so you couldn't really make a meal out of them. We also kind of didn't get the right order. One thing was brought out to us that we weren't really sure we ordered, but then another dish was missed completely. I think it's a little overpriced for what it is, but they stayed busy. Try at your own desire. read more

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and the whole experience was amazing. When we walked in the hostess was so welcoming and already wished us happy anniversary, then we got a handwritten card with beautiful calligraphy from the restaurant team as well as celebratory bubbles. The food was very creative and we were pleasantly surprised by every dish. Our server Adrian explained the menu really well and checked on us frequently. Our favorite were the pork belly lollipops, agua chilling, don't be shellfish. The restaurant and bar are beautiful. The vibes are nice and not too loud. We really enjoyed it and will be back. read more

The drinks are GREAT! The food... it's ok... and you most likely will leave hungry. Another highly touted tasting menu in Dallas that did NOT live up to the hype. I do like that Rye incorporated locally grown ingredients but the dishes didn't work for me. I was surprised that a lot of the dishes were vegetarian. The portions were so tiny that you barely get a chance to enjoy the food. One bite and it was over... For how much it was, they needed to give more food. I did enjoy the non-vegetarian dishes more. I do like that they give you a chance to go into the kitchen and talk to the chef after your meal. That's a nice touch. Order one of their cocktails, it's good. read more

Rye offers such an elevated culinary experience with its creative tapas-style menu. The dishes have amazing bold flavors and you can tell they put lot of thought behind how each meal is presented. The cocktails are fresh and delicious. The Cacio e Pepe is rich and creamy, the cheek pun tacos, which the staff highly recommended, are mouthwatering! The brisket is so tender and full of flavor, they're a must-try. For dessert, the cheesecake was incredible. It came with these amazing cheddar cake crumbles on the side that I just couldn't get enough of. I kind of wish they were their own dessert cause they were that good! The service really made the experience, too. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The cozy, dimly lit vibe of the place made it feel intimate and relaxed, perfect for enjoying great food and drinks. Rye definitely knows how to make a meal feel like a memorable experience. read more

Rye is a fun, creative spot with a constantly evolving menu of inventive small plates. One of the standout dishes is the Cornucopia, a playful celebration of corn in five different forms, including ice cream! It's a mix of flavors and textures that's both clever and delicious. The cozy, modern vibe makes it a great place to try something new, and with their seasonal menu, there's always a reason to come back. If you're up for a unique dining experience, Rye is definitely worth a visit. Such a cool vibe and ambiance in this place! One of the owners, Tanner, also made it a point to walk to each table that night and get to know everyone individually. We mentioned we had reservations for Apothecary after dinner, and he was kind enough to walk us there through the kitchen, with a full tour of how the magic happens! You can tell lots of love and passion is put into these places, and it really resonates with those that appreciate the details! read more

While I can't say that this place is for me, I can say that I had an unexpectedly enjoyable experience. It seems like the menus regularly change and I wasn't sure that I would enjoy any of their offerings this night. I ended getting the Rabbit Chorizo short rib. The rib was tender and seasoned well, but the cornbread stuffing that came with it was the true front runner. All around, the service was exceptional, but I am not excited to come back for dinner. Their brunch menu looks promising, however. read more

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. read more

I have been here twice but the first go round, I wasn't able to try out the food. This day, I had the privilege of checking them out was during restaurant week. Although some of the items aren't or won't be readily available due to the pop up Aquasal Salt & Water. (They are working on something currently) I still recommend you giving this place a try for the ambiance, service, great drinks and friendliness of the staff. As for Aquasal, they prepared dishes from Puerto Rico, Trinidad & Tobago, Venezuela and Jamaica. For starters, me and my friend tried the jerk wings and coconut cheese. The coconut cheese was fantastic! The jerk wings were a bit too chewy. For the entree, we both had arepjitas (think arepas and fajitas fused together) I had the steak with chimichurri and my friend had chicken. The dish was full of flavor and was enough to take home. I enjoyed every bite. For dessert, key lime cheesecake. Small yet delicious. Definitely check out Rye for a night out with friends, drinks, or to grab some tapas. I'm certain you will enjoy the spot and there is their speakeasy right next door. read more

I came out for my birthday and the visit did not disappoint! My first time visiting Rye was in the summer for their Aguasal menu they had temporarily. We loved everything about it and although we knew the menu was leaving, the chef wasn't so we had to come back and try them again! The service was spot on! From entry to exit! Booking a reservation was super simple as well. There was 10 of us and at first my friends did not see much they wanted to order. The menu is something they aren't used to. With some guidance, they were able to order and loved their picks! I had the vegetarian tasting and it was amazing! I would literally go back to get it again! The ambience was great with the dim lighting and table lamps. It was perfect! The curry, corn-u-copia, zartartare, and taco were my faves but I enjoyed them all! read more

Rye was a pleasant experience. I loved the green ambiance and the dim lighting that sets a great mood for gatherings and dates. Our waiter was kind and was attentive with recommending me special. I got the Cacio E Pepe. I loved the crunchy bit of onion on top and the sauce that wasn't too thick like other places would do. I also ordered the braised meat which was on the dry side and left a bland taste in my mouth. However, that was the only disappointing thing. The Icelandic Hotdog was surprisingly delicious! The bread that the hotdog lied on and the sweet and tangy flavors paired together well. Overall, 7.5/10 read more

My husband wasn't thrilled about having to drive to dinner while we were in Dallas, but once he saw the food he didn't mind it. We were looking for a unique experience with creative food items you can't just find anywhere. My husband loves corn so I knew he was going to order this dish with 5 different types of corn in it. I forget what it was called but it was a seasonal item and was delicious. The duroc pork belly lollipops were awesome too. I got some kind of crab pasta that was layered like lasagna. It was good but I definitely think I liked the small plates we had better. I would recommend getting a bunch of small plates to share. The sauerkraut cake was interesting but tasty too. We ordered a bunch of small plates also. We were arguing over whether to split 1 or order 2 of this Icelandic hotdogs so we could each have our own. I knew it was going to be fantastic and wanted my own but my husband said it was stupid to order 2 when we could order other items Instead. We ordered 1 to split and I kinda wanted more but we got the mushroom bites too and they were good too. I liked the atmosphere of the place it had like an outdoor garden rustic kind of feel to it. All the cocktails were creative and great as well. We got a few at Rye and then went Nextdoor to their sister restaurant to get more drinks. This was probably the best restaurant we went to on our trip to Texas, I definitely recommend it. read more

Rye has been on our Dallas bucket list for quite some time and I am so thrilled that we finally got to experience it! The restaurant was fantastic from food to service with my only critique being the bathroom doors are glass, (I'm not sure why anyone would make that choice). My husband and I both started the meal with cocktails and a cheese board. I had their whiskey sour which was authentically made with egg white, a very rare find and it was spectacular! The cheese board was also very good with the house made challah and crackers being the high note of the dish. For our mains we had the Cacio e Pepe and the Pork Belly Lollipops both of which were very good although if I were to go back I would get the Pork Belly again and forgo the pasta as the very thin noodles made it difficult to eat. Lastly, we ended dinner with the espresso cake and cheesecake both of which were good but I would give the espresso cake an 8/10, slightly dry, and the cheesecake an 11/10 as it was the most perfect balance of flavor and texture. For a night out it is well worth it and I very much recommend! read more

Saw this place on diners drive ins and dives recently and thought, hey, I wanna try that! Then the "in kind" app offered me a 50$ off and I thought it was divine intervention. So the day before Mother's Day we took ourselves to Rye. We had a 5 o'clock reservation and were prompltly sat in a cute little nook. Felt very cozy and comfy. The only reason for 1 star demoted is due to fruit flies constantly buzzing our little light. Turned it off at one point to send them elsewhere. The small plates were delish especially the tacos and the lollipops. The dessert was also a highlight. Would love to come back one day and try the tasting menu. Who wouldn't love an edible napkin!? read more

Went for happy hour. It was our second time there in a while and we always like the vibes of Rye. Shame to see to that their amazing espresso martini is no longer on happy hour menu, but their old fashioned is quit good as well. We opted to get everything on the happy hour menu. The Icelandic hotdog was exquisite and the best thing on the HH menu. Pork belly taco - great. Fry bread - ok the bread was fine, but I have a sensitive nose so I thought there cheese or butter it came with smelled like a wet towel. That said my wife said it was good, so maybe I don't know anything lol. Classic burger - I remembered this being good last time, but it wasn't great. I thought the bread was a little dry and the meat was overdone. Wouldn't get this again. Fried mushroom - this was delicious. Chicken taco special - this one was super spicy and I think they overdone it on certain ingredient. Maybe paprika? Didn't like it. While the food was mixed, the HH is a great value, great drinks and great vibe. Service was friendly and quick too. read more

I've been Rye several times and have been consistently impressed .The first time I went, I had a few items from their a la carte menu, and appreciated the quality of the dishes. They also had a nice wine list that I was not able to delve into. The second time was for brunch with friends for my birthday. Champagne and caviar was a great way to celebrate, and I was very pleased with the variety and quality of sparkling wines available. I was also impressed with the kind, casual, and friendly service we received. This would be a the same on my latest visit. I was not, however, that impressed by the Icelandic Hot Dog. This seemed more gimmick than good. After that experience, I returned with my wife and another couple and had Rye's Chef's Tasting Menu. Rye set a high bar for itself since the reservation was an eyepopping $250.00 per person ($180.00 reservation plus prepaid tip/service fees). Luckily for everyone, they did not disappoint. I was a little unsure of the "drink pairing" as I am used to usually only having wine pairings. But this was an amazing concept and experience. In addition to some fine wines and port, they served sake and some amazing cocktails. The food was all delicately served and tasted great. Many of the dishes had the kind of "wow!" factor you want to have with a fine dining experience, such as the amuse bouches that included kangaroo. Several were also playfully served, which is always fun. I can easily see Rye earning a Michelin Star and hope it does now that Michelin is (finally) rating Texas. I do not expect it will earn a second, as the service, while friendly, careful, and attentive, is not at the extreme level required for a second. The food is also not universally astounding, even though many of the dishes are. If you enjoy fine dining and are in Dallas, Rye is a must try. read more

Came here to celebrate a whiskey enthusiast's birthday--there was an impressive whiskey list. We got two flights but did not try the food or speakeasy.

Overall stellar place. Cool, sleek ambiance. The food was distinct, and a little pricey, but expected in an upscale place. There was no birthday special deal, but the waiter worked hard to make the cake we ordered special. The service was nice.

I want to shout out my bartender, Julian. He is the best bartender I've ever had and i drink a lot. Julian makes his drink with his customer in mind. I thought that Espresso Martini was nasty and people were just lying about it but when JULIAN made me an espresso martini, it was the best one I've ever had and I've had 5 different espresso martinis at 5 diff bars and they were nasty asf which is why i thought EMs were a scam. He effectively changed my stance on them. I had the wake and bake + the calvados and pear and idk how to explain just how delicious those drinks were. You can taste the care that is put into his drinks. I don't think I've tasted a bartender who loved his craft in a long time so tasting Julian's drinks were a breath of fresh air. I can taste the effort and care he puts into his drinks. He atmosphere and ambiance was so relaxed and comforting but earthy. It's like a coffee shop but with alcoholic drinks. 12/10 , i will always recommend ! read more

Decided to check this place out as the menu looked interesting and based on other reviews, the ambience appeared to be good as well. However, there was nothing that really popped out to me.

I will say that our server was beyond sweet and attentive which is why I cannot give this place a lower rating. read more

Great place for a casual group dinner, the menu is tapas style so you get to try a little bit of everything. The portions looked small but they were super filling! We shared 4 tapas and 2 desserts between 4 people and we were stuffed! They have a great drink selection, I had the coconut tiki drink which was refreshing and rich. For starters we had the octopus hummus and Filipino tacos. Then we had the Casio de Pepe and cornucopia to finish. Everything was delicious! The tacos were my favorite. Will our server was very accommodating, answered all of our questions and recommended some of the funkier desserts on the menu that sounded weird but we're actually delicious. We got the sauerkraut chocolate cake & the chocolate habanero donuts. read more

Rye has converted into AquaSol for the summer. Beach vibe. New food and menu. We had dinner for 4 on a Friday night and loved it.

Great cocktails and wines. Check it out this summer. In the fall the old Rye returns read more

This place is a staple for my partner and I! With the best service comes a great experience and with the most divine entrées comes happy customers/guests! The ambience is very elusive, low lighting, and fabulous low toned music to really set a semi New York/ classy French vibe. That's at least what I feel when I'm here! Reminds me of a high class, quaint yet classy place in New York City that you'd have to hear about, not just stumble upon (I say this about Rye and apothecary)! Tanner is awesome and always makes sure to say hello every time I come in! He definitely makes the place even more enjoyable- which seems close to impossible considering how much I already enjoy it. The food is divine, the drinks are succulent and robust and I always leave happy. The bathrooms are always prim and neat and smell fantastic and the hostess greets with gentleness and kindness making the automatic walk in, pleasurable and up-to-par. Can't wait to be back in a place that reminds me of my fathers dining area or traveling in a busy bright city. (might even go tonight) Thanks so much for the incredible food, drinks and atmosphere Rye and Apothecary! read more

Food was extraordinary! And Daegan was our server, full of brilliant advice and suggestions on how much to order, though he was not familiar with the cooking techniques employed by the chef. Thankfully there were two other servers who seem to have been read into the gastronomy. Overall the dessert course was the only disappointment of the evening, the Cornucopia was delightful with corn prepared in five different ways. I'd say to sum the experience up, it's a molecular gastronomy type spot, I imagine it's a bit like ElBulli was in Northern Spain. read more

I was surprised here for my birthday! The restaurant is still fairly new to the Greenville area (may have been open for a little more than a year). The menu is mostly tapas style, which I'm the biggest fan of since I love sharing dishes. The service were superb! Our server knew what was on the menu offhand and had quick recommendations for us. Also, the atmosphere here had me forgetting I was in Dallas, but I felt like I was in a tucked away NYC restaurant. Let's start with the pork belly lollipops...I don't usually order pork belly, but the presentation and taste was delightful. Because it was shareable, the portion was perfect. The Icelandic hot dog was OK. This was something the server raved about and I thought it was OK. Im all for trying to new things. I'm just not a big hot dog person, but if you are, maybe you'll think it's great. Chicken and grits were unique because the grits were crispy. The Cacio de Pepe (which is my favorite pasta dish ever) was sinfully good. I remember wanting to order a second. Tip: if you make a reservation here, also make one at Apothecary next door before/after dinner! It's from the same owner as Rye and has a sexy lounge vibe. read more

Some friends and I decided to try a new place for Easter brunch so went to Rye. As soon as I walked in knew that we had made a good choice. Loved the style and the ambiance of the restaurant, not to mention the bar. Servers and staff were very friendly. Started off with the dill drink which was delicious and refreshing. Had a hint of dill and was great to start off a warm morning. For food, I got the eggs benedict. I usually don't eat much for breakfast/brunch but finished my plate. This day the eggs benedict had almost like a pork belly jam and a purple cabbage slaw. The food has a little sweetness and savoriness and just melted in my mouth. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Rye for a Valentine's Day dinner and we were pretty disappointed. We decided to splurge and do the nine course dinner. It was A LOT A of food, which we anticipated, but halfway through our meal our waiter said he usually recommends the 7 course...so we were confused why he didn't recommend that to us before we ordered. The dishes were very experimental, but a few of them were so salty. The tacos were so salty we couldn't eat more than one bite. Thankfully the manager took them off our bill, but there were at least two or three dishes with overwhelming salt. The drinks were ok. I tried to order a French Gimlet, and our server told me that that drink didn't exist...I was confused, so I just ordered something else. Well, French Gimlets do very much exist, so that was odd that he made me feel like I ordered a made up drink! The one redeeming thing was the dessert. Honestly one of the best desserts I have ever had and I have not stopped thinking about it! It was so chocolately. Overall, won't go back! read more
