Morgan's Fish House
Located just off the New England Thruway section of I-95, this casual, contemporary restaurant serves seafood and more in the heart of Rye. For seafood lovers, Morgan's offers maple ginger-glazed salmon, blackened swordfish, porcini-dusted halibut and other creative fish entrees, as well as filet mignon or herb marinated chicken for non-fish eaters. Or, choose a "Simply Fish" dish -- your choice of swordfish, Scottish salmon, halibut, ahi tuna, whole bronzini, lemon sole, jumbo shrimp, or Chatham cod cooked grilled, pan-seared, blackened, or fried. There is also a raw bar featuring oysters, clams, and shrimp or lobster cocktail.
There is space for private parties as well as a special brunch menu and an extensive wine list.

For a more casual seafood dining experience, try Seaside Johnnies at Oakland Beach.

The wine list is short, but the beer selection is a wide variety of classic beers, like Bud, Bud Light, and Coors.

The Rye Roadhouse Restaurant and Bar
Opened in 2007, the Rye Roadhouse offers a selection of Cajun food, traditional pub fare, and a few Mexican-inspired dishes. The appetizers include a truly staggering variety of options, from "'Gator Nuggets" to deep fried macaroni and cheese (regular or Jalapeno) and even ribs. There are fajitas, homemade chilis, and a New Orleans/deep South-inspired entrée menu featuring Southern fried chicken, jambalaya, blackened catfish, and bourbon-glazed pork chops. If that's not enough, there's also an entire menu devoted just to sandwiches, burgers, and po'boys.
A special late-night bar menu (11:00 pm to 1:00 am) features comfort food faves like buffalo wings and sliders. The Rye Roadhouse offers a limited wine menu and five New Orleans-inspired specialty drinks like the Hurricane Cody and Soup's Swamp Juice.
