Restaurants near Rye Playland

Amazing experience. We requested recommendations from the staff about plates and quantities and they provided us with perfect choices, even for the drinks. Place is very cozy, quality is great, definitely will return many times.

Averna has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants. The food is always delicious and the service is always phenomenal. My husband and I have enjoyed several dinners at Averna and I always big recommend it to friends and colleagues! I was disappointed with our dining experience Saturday night. We had a reservation for 8pm for 4 people. A credit card was required to hold the reservation which was a new occurrence at this restaurant ( maybe because we had a larger party ). I didn't have a problem with that. However, upon our arrival at 7:50pm we were abruptly told there would be a wait. I didn't have a problem with the wait even though the hostess could have been more polite. As we waited, the wait staff quickly proceeded to set up a table by the front door. As I watched another group of 4 who arrived after us being escorted into the dining room, the owner said we would be seated by the front door because the dining area was full! I very politely said I would prefer not to do that because it was so cold that evening !! He said there was a heater & assured me it would be warm!! Then he disappeared and we were seated !! I didn't want to make a fuss BUT it was FREEZING and every time someone opened the door the wind blew in and it was VERY UNCOMFORTABLE! Honestly, I think we were seated there because one person in our party was wearing jeans ( clean jeans but jeans nonetheless!) ! I really was disappointed! Eating dinner by the front door was unpleasant and I believe we were treated this way based on the appearance of one member of our party. I am unsure if I will return!

A relatively new (at least for me!) and surprisingly good addition to the local restaurant scene. Good service, excellent steaks and seafood at decent (not egregious) prices. Will come more.

The service, food and ambience are excellent. I love this restaurant

The food is uniquely prepared and does not disappoint. The wait staff are friendly and attentive. They often guide me through the selection process and are thoughtful about allergies and food preferences. I have dined there dozens of times alone, on dates, or with a large group of friends, and everyone has enjoyed both the meals and service. If you like sushi and are willing to try something different book a reservation at the table or bar. I am sure you will like it.
