"James Beard award-winner Andrew Carmellini is also behind this culinary accompaniment to the brand-new Sagamore Spirit rye distillery next door. Rye Street has become the first true hot spot in the soon-to-be re-developed Port Covington neighborhood. A copper-accented bar prominently displays bottles of Sagamore whiskey, while a fireplace and stuffed bison head give the space a stylish lodge vibe. The menu — which draws inspiration from mid-Atlantic-meets-Americana dishes such as fried chicken, wood-grilled seafood, steak, seafood bakes, and a daily blue crab preparation — has garnered gushing reviews." - Ryan Detter
