    "In terms of decor, Ralph Lauren would be jealous." -The New York Times. Romantic and luxurious, equestrian yet refined. Built in 1796, The Ryland Inn is a former country home and stagecoach stop. Today, it is a redesigned space that boasts exposed wood beams, elegant chandeliers, and exceptional cuisine. Both spaces are located on opposite sides of the property, ensuring exclusive use of the facility. Nestled on these 10 acres are overnight accommodations as well. The Grand Ballroom- With the feel of a country farmhouse paired with modern flair, the breathtaking 30' windows and matching stone fireplace play perfectly in concert with the glimmer and glow of our chandeliers. The Coach House- Our refurbished 200-year-old barn is nothing short of magnificent for your next event. Utilizing the original silo and materials from the original barn, this space is unique, authentic and dramatic. For more info: 866.683.3586 or events@landmarkvenues.com.

    The staff is extremely helpful and pleasant, you can tell they like where they work and take pride in providing a great experience. Our waitress, Cathy, was phenomenal and very kind. The food was delicious, and although it took a bit of a wait to come out out of the kitchen, it was well worth it! It tasted fresh and outstanding. The live music and fireplace were also very enjoyable. I can’t wait to go back!

    The wait staff was wonderful. The brunch had an assortment of hot and cold food. The hot food and coffee was not hot, lukewarm at best. At the omelet station the food was not cooked through, the mushrooms were large and not sliced for an omelet, and the presentation was slopped onto my plate with the cheese not inside the omelet. Unfortunately it was inedible. The cold station was ok. The bagel area didn’t have a way to toast them. The artichoke heart salad had hard carrots sliced into it which I thought was odd. The salad area was nothing special. The potato salad by the hot station was very good and so was the broccoli rabe. The French toast would have been top of my list of favorites but it was cold. The layout was odd. Spread throughout the bar area and dining area. Items meant for the salad area were in the hot area or visa verse.

    Hey Dana, We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at The Ryland Inn. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our hot and cold spread, and that our team made you feel welcome. However, we're sorry to hear about the cold French toast and the temperature of the omelet. We always aim to deliver a great experience, and we're disappointed when we fall short. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to improve. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a better dining experience. Best Regards, The Management Team

    Prior to COVID, we dined at Ryland Inn ten or more times a year. They have been closed for some time but recently reopened and since we were visiting the area, booked a reservation. While it is no longer the amazing farm-to-table menu, the food prep was very impressive. Tom, our bartender, was very knowledgeable and professional. We knew the previous team very well and he would have fit in nicely. He made my Sazarac beautifully. On to dinner: Skip the wedge salad- while trying to be clever, the red leaf lettuce wasn’t properly washed and much too gritty. Too bad- the blue cheese and bacon were excellent. The salmon (special) was perfect. As was the shirt rub and grits. Wines are very pricy. So we opted to order by the glass and found a very drinkable Cabernet. We both ordered the crème brûlée for dessert which was creamy and delicious. So, while not the same Ryland inn we were accustomed to, it is still very good.

    I brought my wife here to celebrate her birthday. I never got a chance to experience the Ryland Inn pre-Covid. The chef started us off with an amuse-bouche, a soup served in an espresso mug. As an appetizer, we had the crispy foraged maitake mushroom. It was very light and crispy, it reminded me of the coating on really good cod for fish and chips. Cocktail wise, I started off with the Alpine old fashioned which they smoked and my wife had a glass of Pinot Noir. For our entrees, my wife had the special which was a salmon with a parsley crust and fingerling potatoes. I went with the sea scallops with honey nut squash and maple-bacon jam. Both were very good. For dessert, we had a three cheese cheesecake and the Mexican chocolate soufflé. We enjoyed both. The soufflé was very good even without the vanilla-bourbon anglaise. The staff were all very friendly, from the valet at the front door, to the young women that took our coats, and the waitstaff that took our orders, filled our drinks and cleared the flatware. They had the fireplace going. There are sconces on the wall providing subtle lighting, along with small, cordless lamps on the tabletops. Since it's only about 15 minutes away, we'll probably return, even if it's just to hang out at the bar.
