Terrible experience from start to finish. I had noted that it was my pregnant wife’s birthday when making the reservation, yet we were given a terrible table in the middle of the room, with an uneven surface and hard wooden chairs—far from comfortable for a pregnant woman. When I asked to be moved, the server claimed there were no other options, yet moments later, another couple was seated at a much better table with a cushioned bench. The food was equally disappointing. Portions were ridiculously small for the price, and the so-called “buffalo chicken” was a joke. Instead of wings, we got mostly drumsticks, and the sauce was some kind of pink mayo mix instead of real buffalo sauce. To make matters worse, they don’t even offer blue cheese—an absolute must for buffalo wings. Overall, an overpriced and poorly managed restaurant that does not care about customer comfort or expectations. Would not recommend.

Except for noise level, Steel & Rye is always reliably great. Staff are terrific— attentive and responsive. Food is inventive and well-executed. Brunch menu has a wide variety. The egg sandwich was delicious.
