    We sat with a beautiful view of the river and l just loved it. It was my first visit to Ray’s and l am grateful for the feeling of being exactly where l was meant to be. We had arrived early and were immediately seated and everyone on the wait staff was smiling which l was happy to see. I ordered the Garden omelette (no l am not vegetarian, l just don’t eat meat) and it arrived hot. I was thankful for the flavors because they blended well and no extra seasoning was needed. I like tasting all the food flavors in the omelette. I also had a Moscato Mimosa (l don’t care for Prosecco) and my request was filled with no hesitation. This place offers superb service.

    Our first visit. This was very convenient, tasty, different (for us) and affordable. The food, beverages and service were suburb. I ordered a newly discovered cocktail, The Godfather, and the bartender came to the table, indicated he had heard of it before and then asked what ratio I preferred between the bourbon and Amaretto. For dinner, I had the special, a Wild Boar Lasagna w/ sweet potato "pasta," which was excellent, while my wife went light with a Caesar salad with grilled shrimp. Even the bread was a couple notches above what we normally are served and the croutons on the salad, some of the best we've ever tasted, were made from it (better than cornbread croutons but just as light). The portions were plentiful and the leftovers will be enjoyed tomorrow! Throughout, the staff were very attentive, including the manager and owner. Even the valet was prompt in bringing our car to the front door. The meal and beverages cost less than $100 and considered the quality of the food and service, it was a bargain.

    Wow! I’ve worked in fine dining industry for a long time but Bridget made my girlfriend and I experience a one to remember. It was busy but not a step of service was missed. We felt like like we were regulars and very much at home. Can’t wait to come back. From the chargrilled oysters to the prime grade bone ribeye and then the bread pudding dessert,everything was spot on. Thank you C&S for an amazing experience! And thank you Bridget giving us a date to never forget.
