    Lunch at Rye Street. Oddly enough the room smelled like weed when we were seated. Probably just a fluke. Service was excellent, good food.

    We made reservations and were sat quickly. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was good, but not great. I ordered the chicken sandwich was warm, but not hot. My guest ordered the scallops and grits that she said was delicious.

    The service was great and the ambiance were beautiful! The pasta, fries, and hot wings were tasty, just ask them to fry the wings crispy. The cocktails were really good! The bread pudding was the winner! Best I’ve had in Baltimore hands down. Would definitely go back.

    Beyond amazing. Sharon was the best server ever. She made the experience memorable. Food was outstanding and did not disappoint. The butternut squash soup with marshmallows was decadent. The squash pasta was even better. The boots with the fir warmed me up on a cold night. Key lime pie was the best I've had in a while!
