Our server was really nice and professional, but my meal was subpar. The fried oysters were tough and chewy to the point where I had to take it out of my mouth. I didn’t want to risk trying to swallow them. It makes for a disgusting display at the side of your plate! They were also bland. I was hoping that my main course would be better. The braised short rib was also tough and chewy. No tenderness here! Now the dessert on the other hand was delicious! I had the bourbon pecan pie.

I was staying at the hotel and decided to try out Rye’s brunch around 4pm the day I arrived. They ran out of what my partner wanted to try (one of like seven things on the menu) so I just ordered some seafood hush puppies. They were awful! Rubbery and tasteless. Service was friendly but slow. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $30–50 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5

WHAT JUST HAPPENED HERE???? The atmosphere at this place is basically a nice, open hotel lounge style and our table server, Chris, was exceptionally friendly. However I am still trying to wrap my brain around an incident that took place here. My wife ordered some crab & shrimp hushpuppies. They were a tad bland so she asked our server if she could have some cocktail sauce. He said they would have to specially make some up but it was not a problem. A few minutes later he brought back a whiskey tumbler with the sauce in it. We thought the whiskey tumbler was an odd touch. The sauce also had a strange, slightly orange color. My wife, a trusting soul, dipped a hushpuppy in it, took a healthly dollop of sauce, and popped it in her mouth. She immediately started choking and gagging. She literally could not talk. She waved over a bus person and croaked out a request for water. She was able to barely speak but said that the cocktail sauce was blazing spicy. I dipped my finger in the sauce and carefully tasted it. It was absolutely riddled with capsaicin. I have never tasted anything so hot in my life. It seemed to be almost pure habanero or possibly ghost pepper sauce. Some funny person in the kitchen apparently decided my wife was being difficult and needed a lesson. It has been hours since the incident and she still cannot taste anything. What a hoot. How funny. I have NEVER had anything like this happen in a restaurant before. We asked Chris if we had done something to offend him or the kitchen staff. To his credit Chris was very apologetic and I do not think he was in on the 'prank.' However he shrugged it off as someone in the kitchen not knowing what he or she was doing. I beg to disagree. These are professional food preparation staff. They are trained and paid to understand the subtle elements of flavor. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing and thought it was quite clever. What other funny pranks might they decide to pull? There is at least one seriously compromised individual preparing food at the Rye Bar and Southern Kitchen. Do you want to be the next target eating from this person's hands?
