Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Rye

Had an amazing meal. Branzino was my favorite with the lobster risotto, absolutely delicious. Staff was extremely nice and attentive. Will be back again.

The food and service were great - a quality meal for those looking to enjoy themselves.

It was a cozy and lovely experience. We were sitting in front of the fireplace so it was also romantic. The waiter was friendly and the service was great. I would definitely dine there again.

My husband took me to Averna this week to celebrate my birthday. It was, by far, the best dining experience we've had since we moved to New York last year. The restaurant is upscale, but cozy and we felt at home here. From the greeting to the goodbye, the service was as amazing as the food. The entire staff made us feel like they really wanted to take care of us; the water glasses always full, attentive, but unobtrusive wait staff and bussers and the owner was a great host to everyone. Hubby had a beautiful ribeye and I had a gorgeous filet mignon; both cooked to medium rare perfection. We ordered maple bacon Brussels sprouts (addictively good), lobster mac & cheese ("OMG" good!) and grilled asparagus for the sides we shared. We started off with the light and delicious filet mignon carpaccio for our appetizer and for dessert we had coffee and split a caramel toffee cake. I'm not a big sweets person, but that cake was flipping amazing and the perfect way to end a birthday. I can't wait for our next visit. I've got my eye on the branzino!

Delicious! I had the field greens salad and my husband has the mussels with tomato sauce. The serving size of mussels was very generous. The filet was cooked to perfection, the vegetables were crisp and not full of added butter. I had the lemon cake which was light and creamy and my husband had the cheesecake. We will definitely go back! The large free parking is an added bonus!
