Went to Rye for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the food and especially by the cocktails. i recommend the cocktail “the cure”!! my favorite thing by far were the brussels sprouts w halloumi (wish it had more bacon pieces), my steak came out to be more medium well than my request of medium but the chimichurri was fantastic and leveled up the dish FOR SURE! our waiter was a bit interesting and i felt kinda rushed at times but overall decent.

It's nice to enjoy dinner in a restaurant where the level of service matches the menu prices! Great wine list, great dessert cart, and limited but finely crafted menu, with lots of generous appetizer options.

Visiting from Canada and was excited to dine at Eugene's top rated restaurant with colleagues. Was disappointed to enter a casual atmosphere and decor. Service was infrequent and not elevated. The only positive part of the experience was the cocktails, but they were fairly basic and not creative. The menu looked good but had fine dining prices. The portions were very small and the food quality was very poor. There were shells and grit in both my and my colleagues scallops, which were already salty, fishy and undercooked. My other colleague's steak was over cooked medium well, which was supposed to be medium rare. My last colleagues salad was a laughable generic side salad and a very small portion. The scallops issue was not addressed well and we left hungry and with a bad taste in our mouths. Perhaps it was an off night but I wouldn't consider it a top restaurant in any regard.

I was really disappointed. I used to love coming here. I hadn't been for a while and met a friend for lunch. It easily took 20 minutes before anyone stopped by our table. They were busy and we were chatting so we were super nice about it. We both ordered $16 salads (no added meat) and were surprised at the very small servings. On my salad there was one thin partial slice of orange , a few thin slices of apple, some crumbles of ricotta, sparse radicchio, maybe 4 dried cranberries.... The flavor wasn't anything to write home about but it was fine... A side salad of this this nature for $16 is totally out of whack so I think this is a terrible value for my money. The server apologized at first when it took him so long to take our order, but then when we got his attention after we had been finished eating for 15 minutes, he seemed annoyed and was abrupt in his demeanor, even though we were super nice. The front of the house guy was great.

It’s harvest time in the Willamette Valley and I thought I would see evidence of that on my plate. If there was a roasted tomato in my couscous, I sure didn’t see it. The salmon was nicely prepared, though half a minute over cooked. I passed on dessert as there was nothing featuring seasonal fruit. Overall, the quality of the food was good, not great, and I was disappointed by the lack of fresh, local produce.

Pros: The ambiance is nice, and the patio is lovely on a nice night. Good wine list and the cocktails looked delicious. Looked like a good place to eat at the bar as a solo diner (if you order well).
Cons: The service was haphazard, the kitchen was slow, and the dishes we ordered were disappointing, It took a full hour for our order to get to our table. One of us ordered steak that was so tough he couldn’t eat it. I got an inedible bowl of heavily salted soup. Only a small number of vegetarian choices. Other diners looked like they were enjoying the ribs, so maybe we just ordered wrong, or the kitchen was having a bad night.
Exceptional spot for old friends. Would recommend for fair dishes and great drinks.
Vegetarian options: Just ask.
Kid-friendliness: Open tables outside

We made reservations for a patio seat which had to be moved inside due to rain (PNW style). We sat in a room toward the back of the restaurant and the temperature was very warm. I had to take a break during my meal to stand outside in order to cool off. A fan in the back of the restaurant would do a lot for ventilation. I can’t imagine how the serving staff felt. The food was good. I had a vegetable soup followed by steak with mashed potatoes, carrots, and green beans with chimichurri (they ran out of the cut listed on the menu so had a substitute available) which was decent. The cut was a little fibrous but the flavors were good and it was cooked medium rare as ordered. My husband had lamb meatballs then falafel which he enjoyed. The wine list by the glass was minimal but sufficient. Dessert menu was good. They were able to work with my dietary restrictions (gluten free, I appreciate the irony considering the name of the restaurant) and I felt safe eating there. The server was busy but attentive. Overall it was a good experience.

One of the better restaurants in town. A great place for a date. High quality food and drinks. Higher price to match a somewhat fancy place. The caramel pot desert is delicious.

Wonderful all-round experience for refined meals that don't exceed the limits of reason. I personally got the poutine, catch of the day dish (Chinook salmon), and a goat cheesecake to finish. Everything was perfectly seasoned and had contrast in its components, so as to not be monotonous or too rich. The staff were very friendly and provided wonderful service throughout my dining experience. Overall, very highly recommended for a fancier dining experience in the Eugene area!
