Rye opened in Williamsburg in the Spring of 2009.In only two short years, it has become a neighborhood favorite, garnering praise from Frank Bruni and William Grimes, as well as accolades from the Food Network, New York Magazine, Time Out New York, The Village Voice, and Wallpaper Magazine. Rye has received the Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand selection for Best Value, as well as one of Time Out NY's Cheap Eats Awards. Despite such high praise, chef/owner Cal Elliott's Rye is, at its heart, a classic neighborhood restaurant with great food and great cocktails. Rye's casual elegance offers something excellent for everyone, from an intimate dining experience to a festive group feast to a sandwich and beer at the bar.
