The food was mediocre at best. My Chilean sea bass was dry and not at all worth the $46 they charged for it. Prices are way overpriced for the quality of the food. Very disappointing for our anniversary dinner

The food and service was excellent. The only issue is that it was really loud.

I’d like to keep Rein Osteria a secret, but it’s too late and too good. The team at Rein are first rate, including the sommelier who selected the perfect wine to pair with my perfectly prepared salmon. Our meal covered the gamut from garden to surf to turf and was fantastic. And the atmosphere was great: energetic but not overwhelming. Bravo!

Great brunch spot. Loved the breakfast burrito, donuts, and bloody marys. Coffee was good. Wish they had a kid's brunch menu.

Beautiful room. Noise level is a reason to not return. 2 of our 4 entries were good. Service was very attentive. But we couldn’t hear each other to speak.

Had a great dinner last night. Wish they had more gluten free options.

My wife and went for our anniversary. The food and service was very good. The noice level it the restaurant was so loud that it was difficulty to hear each other speak. We had to yell across the table to hear each other speak. This definitely put a damper on the evening. I would definitely recommend the restaurant to others but I would let them know our experience.

Great food, outstanding service. No parking, and although requesting a table in the corner or near a wall we weee out smack on the floor in the middle of the restaurant. The table sucked, and it was way to loud and noisy, couldn’t even hear my date. Don’t go ona weekend.

Rein Osteria serves excellent high quality food. Everything we ordered including Burrata di Prosciutto, strawberry & spinach salad and two steaks were excellent! Drinks were delicious. Wine by the glass is pricey but high quality. Our only complaint is the noise level! We were first seated near the bar. It was so noisy my husband and I could not hear each other at all. We then asked to be moved and were reseated on the other side of the restaurant where it was quieter. It is still a very noisy restaurant. They need to find a way to lower the noise level. Otherwise I would highly recommend Rein Osteria.

It’s taken awhile to write this review. After many evenings at Rein with friends and as a couple, this night was a disappointment. Starting with the seating, as the reservation was made a week in advance, we found our table location unpleasant as we were placed next to a very loud group. An empty table at the window was reserved when we asked. Sadly, that group came and went, disgruntled that their food didn’t appear within the timeframe you’d expect from a fast food establishment! We ordered a bottle of white wine from the Old Vines list that we had had a couple weeks prior. However, after the pour, we realized it wasn’t the same Cincerre and what we wanted wasn’t available. The menu should be kept up to date and this selection was not the same caliber wine. One of the entrees was listed as “sesame crusted yellowfin tuna” and assuming that this was a broiled tuna steak, it was ordered. However, the other 3 menus showed a “sesame crusted tuna - sushi grade tuna” and the dish came as an entree-sized appetizer. To alleviate confusion for future customers, our suggestion is to put this item under appetizers with app and entree pricing. Drinks to start were excellent as usual and appetizers were very good. We should have quit while we were ahead as the $600+ tab for the night was an overreach.
