A Seattle waterfront staple, especially when there's celebrating to be done.

Excellent Service and Food
by TropicalGirl
I have been coming here for years and I have always loved what was on the menu as well as the location and the service. However the last time I visited Ray's was exceptional. The service was great throughout the night and when my keys were locked in my car by the valet (downside of the night) the bar tenders were super friendly and I got drinks and dessert on the house. I highly recommend the bartender Ben K, he was very friendly and made great drinks, and he was just fun to talk to. Overall, great visit, although the valet got no tip.
Jeez, where's the service?

Sunday 5 PM at Ray's was a drag. The bartender's were interested in turnover only and had quiite the 'tude.
Not only was ther bar service as low as it can get, the plating was haphazard; our chese/fruit platter arrived with SLIVERS of cheese and grapes rolling around on the plate, until they rolled onto the counter . Appetizing...
Then the bartender commented that it was happy hour and that for $32 he could serve us a lovely cheese plate. Love the service with a smile! As fast as we could, we scooted over to a table. Everyone smiled in relief, except the laconic waitress who took over at the table.
DId everyone work too long at bunch? I'll have to take a break from Ray's until the summer staff is GONE! (Loved the WHITE Frog beer from Issaquah Brewery!

- Pros: The view is as beautiful as ever!
- Cons: If I want a snarly bartender, I'll go to Kelly's in Belltown
great view, sub par food
by ryanxw
My wife and I have gone to Ray's for years. We tend to sit up in the Cafe for the view and the more relaxed atmosphere. The people are nice, view is great, but the food is really boring. The menu hasn't changed much at all over the past 5 years and the quality of the food isn't that great.
Hey Ray... update the menu to compete with the other great restaurants around Seattle, eh? It's not 1920 and there's better food out there for the same $ now days.
- Pros: fantastic view
- Cons: Cafe's menu is old, boring, quality lacks against competitio
Always supurb
by Ski2Sea
By far my favorite - and felt the need to give credit. Everyone you meet at Ray's is friendly and first class.
I try different items and am NEVER disappointed! Ask the server to have the chef put together his reccommandation for the night- you'll be amazed!
- Pros: Best View, service and food
- Cons: No cons

It's a staple. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. I like facebook connect. Why does city search require a minimum number of words for this field? I'm tired of typing.
- Pros: Best view, freshness of seafood, experience
- Cons: price
Very good
by profwho
Went to the restaurant on December 28th. Very good. Not the best in town, but very very good. Excellent wine. Glad I went, even though I could not see anything as it was dark at 5 p.m.
- Pros: Very good food
- Cons: Weird music played on their sound system -- kinda rap music .. too strange
