I BELIEVE THAT
this is an ever-changing, wonderfully hectic, terribly stressful, and yet, a beautiful orchestra of a business. We love everything about it.
Our Story
The desire to open and run a place of my own was a seed planted early in my life as I grew up working in the service industry. I have experienced nearly every aspect of the restaurant biz – from pin setting at a mini-bowling bar and cleaning bars while in middle school to managing one restaurant while bartending at another. Ryan's on York opened May 15th, 2015 but I had been trying to find a place of my own since early 2007. It goes without saying that it took some patience to find the right location where I could see my dream blossom into what it is today. I could not have arrived here by myself which is why I have surrounded myself with the most talented people I could find while leaning heavily into the amazing support of my family.
It certainly holds true when people talk about their work family. I have met so many wonderful people while working in this business. Along with the amazing stories and customers who I have had the pleasure of listening to and getting to know over the last 20+ years, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
When we do something at Ryan's on York, we think about the best possible way to do it – The amazing food that comes out of the kitchen, the tasty cocktails that are crafted by the talented bartenders, the friendly service and atmosphere. We put our “all” into your RoY’s experience to get you planning your next visit before you’ve even left.
