We had a great experience at TWO urban licks. The food was delicious, everything starter and main were right on. The Briskets are a must and the calamari and pork belly wraps are so good! Our waitress Morgan was awesome, she was knowledgeable and gave great recommendations and was very friendly. The staff were also on point. Our water was always being replenished and our table was always getting cleaned. We highly recommend and will be returning.

I apologize for not remembering the name of our server. Hopefully you can look this up under our reservation. But that gentleman, overheard me discussing my birthday and the birthday of my daughter. He brought us free dessert, wished me a happy birthday, knowing my daughter was not at the dinner with us, and wish both of us a wonderful birthday and a happy life. He was wonderful.

We dine at Rays in the city anytime we’re in town for a convention. The food and service are always wonderful. Their seafood is the best, IMO. Calamari is to die for and although they charge for the bread basket now, you must have it. So good!
