Nice, fancy, and pleasant experience for a big night out with friends, a date, or an intimate night with your loved ones. Service is great and food is fun, but, the menu is all marketing. I found a fair handful of mistakes and many of the dishes are just not as much as they seem to be - it sounds incredible on the menu, and with a big price, it’s gotta be good. But honestly, much of it is pretty simple - done well, although not truly impressive. Still, my expectations for “fancy” might just be too high; still had an incredible and delicious meal, and the service we got was wonderful. The servers were attentive and friendly, helpful and informative. The design and environment of the restaurant was attractive and very comfortable. I’d go back if I wasn’t paying and the goal was not a super high end, best of the best dining. Overall, pleasant experience.

Dinner for 3 with reservations. Excellent seafood, had the shrimp scampi, black grouper with different sides. The sweet potato praline side could also be dessert. Excellent attentive service, accessible restrooms. Great place for Business T&E entertaining, multiple seating areas.

Made a reservation & was seated immediately once we arrived. Waiter was very nice & attentive. Ordered the Tomahawk Steak (definitely big enough for 2) w mashed potatoes, lobster mac, & a side of sautéed onions & mushrooms. The steak was cooked & seasoned perfectly! The lobster mac we personally didn’t enjoy because it lacked flavor. The side of onions & mushrooms for the steak was good. Sides are a shareable size. Drinks were good. We even received a complementary dessert for it being an anniversary dinner.

I was in Atlanta GA for a basketball tournament. We decided to out alone and enjoy a seafood dinner. I had to share how great the food was and the waiter explanation of the dishes made us to have a whole new experience. My husband had the Grouper Fish with lobster tail cook to perfection. I had the crab cakes. The portions are big and honestly two people can eat from one dish. We also paid for a basket of bread that came out warm with butter. The mac and cheese was great and went well with our dishes. We also had wine to go with our dinner.It was a great experience and we were lucky to get into this restaurant.

Upon arriving I was greeted by the hostess. Very sweet young lady wish I could remember her name. But we was seated and our waiter was very attentive and friendly . Me and my husband ordered for appetizers the loaded potato chips and the calamari. My husband ordered Shrimp and Grits which he said was so flavorful and delicious. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi omg so good we had so much food for like almost two days . Definitely recommend this place for dinner or lunch . The atmosphere was nice too.

We came from a walk around thw city, so we didnt have on the proper attire, but the host was super sweet & let us have a seat. Lillian was our server. She recommended som great selections & was spot on. We had shrimp scampi, but substituted the shrimp for chicken. I had the Porcini Rubbed Bone-In Ribeye, we had corn creme brulee with crab cakes, mashed potatoes, and mushrooms. The food came out and everything was delicious. Atmosphere was dress casual, no gym shoes, no jeans. Clean, spacious, and romantic vibe.

Ray's in the City is a must. We enjoyed it so much that we went back a 2nd time! On the first visit we ate very early due to a long travel day. It allowed us to enjoy the restaurant with little noise and allowed great pictures without a lot of people in the background. We both ordered steak the first visit. Great wine list and make an amazing old fashioned. Food is top-notch and finished with incredible desserts. We got the key lime and butter cake, highly recommend both. They also have a beautiful space for private dining. On our 2nd visit, it was late, around 9pm on a Saturday and it was lively. We ordered the fish special and scallops this time and neither disappointed. Def add a visit whenever you're nearby. Our server, Chris I think, and helper Alex were very attentive and personable.

What an awesome spot hosted a client luncheon here for about 10 people the layout is interesting to say the least. The front of the restaurant is more elegant and then you have the bar area and then as you go to the back it’s not quite as elegant but still very nice almost upscale diner had 1130 reservation and they didn’t open up until 1130 and the hostess was a little less accommodating she didn’t want to see people as they were coming in so the whole party was there which I thought was kind of rude since the lobby area isn’t that big so when you have 10 people waiting for one party seated takes up a lot of space or waiter however, it was amazingly good he was on top of everything drinks apps always open to a suggestion if you ask him, the food was absolutely delicious. Everyone said that their food was good. We had quite a different variety of entrées from salmon Oscar to steak fajitas and the absolutely amazing the blue cheese chips, the goat cheese fritters, ginormous cocktails and shrimp. Calamari was really nice as well. I really would like to give this place a five star but I can’t because of the hostess and the kind of sucks that they have someone like that at the front of the house dealing with the people she’s just very wasn’t very nice, a couple of the people to party even commented that she seemed a bit standoffish. Otherwise I would definitely give her five if you’re reading my review, keep that in mind as to why I gave it a four and not five.

I will be back!! My dining experience was exceptional & the food was to die for! Everything I ordered was so good!! From the New Orleans bbq shrimp & the Jumbo lump crab cake as our appetizers, to my Shrimp&Grits … i even tasted what my husband had (steak) & I wanted his plate too! 🤣 Plus wine was amazing & perfect as well! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Service was great but unfortunately both my husband and I got food poisoning immediately after eating here. Stay away from the scallops!! We expected better sanitation and food preparation from this establishment.

Went to this restaurant with my wife last week for the first time and will never go back!!! Service was great but unfortunately I ordered seafood and we both got food poisoning. This ruined our New Years vacation with the family. I would not expect a 5 star restaurant to undercook scallops! Beware of seafood here!!!

Wonderful service. This was our first time here at this restaurant and right as we walked in the hostess knew who my husband and seated us immediately. We were very impressed that she knew who he was before he got up to say he was here for our reservation. We had 2 wonderful waitresses. We had a fantastic dinner and these two ladies made our night very wonderful and special. Thank you for this wonderful 1st time experience!

The food was absolutely indescribable. Without a doubt, the best meal my husband and I have had in ours lives. The service by the staff was very friendly and professional, and as both my husband and I have worked in the restaurant industry for most of our lives we truly appreciate the friendliness and attentiveness the staff had this evening. I’m so upset that I forgot their review card, because I really want the wait staff to get the recognition they deserve. Mario, Kevin, and one other who’s name I can not recall, were more than a guest could ask for. You’ve got yourself an amazing crew. From the chefs, hostesses and waiters, you all helped my husband give me a most memorable birthday.

The hubby and I stopped by for a late birthday dinner after the place we initially made reservations to was overcrowded. Thankfully, we were able to make a last-minute reservation before closing, and since this wasn't our first time, we knew it would not disappoint. I had the delmonico steak, and hubby had the grilled seafood platter. We shared the asparagus as a side. CRÈME BRULEE was brought out as a special birthday treat for me, delicious! I also had a lemon drop martini. Everything was good and cooked to perfection. Not to mention, the staff is always very friendly and professional. It's always going to be one of our favorite spots!

Me and my daughter went in at 2:16pm on1-18-20 and at 2:39 I walked out without even being asked for a appetizer, all we got was a glass of water 5 minutes after being seated. Very light crowd...unacceptable in my book. They

Incredible restaurant in Alanta, Georgia with excellent food and service. Highly recommend for special occasions and dates. Tee was an impeccable waitress.

The food was AMAZING!!! We ordered the calamari, shrimp scampi pasta, & the crab cakes and it was absolutely delicious. However, our servers was the BEST part of the experience. Tee and Victor were amazing. They were personable, friendly, and had great customer service. Thank you Tee and Victor for making our date night wonderful! I highly recommend! 🫶🏽

The service provided by Chris and Christina was excellent. The ambiance was absolutely beautiful, loved every minute of the experience. The fried calamari & shrimp appetizer was 10/10. For my entree I got the Salmon Oscar it was okay. We also got the lobster scampi which was really good, the lobster was a bit tough. But the entire experience was good. Recommended.

I was there on a business trip. I've never been to Atlanta. The concierge recommended the restaurant so we walked there. The hostess was super polite and seated us right away. Our waiters Chris and Alex were so AWESOME!!!! Chris recommended a drink for each of us based on what flavors we liked and he nailed it!!!! Drinks were fabulous!!! Then his food recommendations was AMAZING!!!! Alex brought us our food and was so professional and courteous. They were always checking on us and even had a great conversation with them. Highly recommend asking for them when you go!!!

I had been wanting to come to this restaurant for years. It was worth it. The service is at the door is little dry but our server Mario was highly professional and made great recommendations. I asked the server to get me what he would recommend to his best friend. I ended up with Lobster, shrimp, scallops and crab cakes. Mash potatoes were amazing.

Went here on a Sunday night and everything went as planned with a reservation made a couple weeks prior. Greeted and seated right away. Menu and specials explained thoroughly. Waiter Chris did a great job serving our table the whole evening. The drinks were made great and not too strong but definitely didn’t lack liquor. The seafood tower was plentiful and fresh. No overly fishy tasting anything. The oysters were delicious, the lobster/crab perfectly cut for easy eating, the hand picked crab was a generous portion, the shrimp was huge and delicious. Very satisfied with this all for $85. The seafood/lobster linguini was a good portion and tasty. The scallops (3) were made to perfection and the risotto was really good that it was paired with.

Excellent!!! From the She Crab Soup, Crab Cake Entrée to the Cheesecake, the next morning, Everything was excellent and highly recommended. Our server, Tara, was superb!!! ❤️ She was attentive to our every need and provided fast and accurate service. Kudos to her for a job well done. We will be back!!!

Amazing service from the moment we stepped foot inside the building. The hostess was pleasant/funny greeting us. The wine and appetizers were delicious! Our serve Troy was very kind, patient and informative ask for him if you come here! Not from the A but would come back for his service and this food.

Absolutely amazing!!! Chris and Kevin tag-teamed our table and we were the beneficiaries of the best, most personable, and attentive service ever! Not only was the ambience fabulous but the food was quite possibly the most sumptuous bites I’ve had in a long while! Don’t miss this gem in the heart of ATL!

We dined here tonight and the entire experience, from start to finish, was AMAZING! Teresa at the front desk was so attentive and courteous. Even while on a call she constantly checked on us until our table was ready. Tee, our server, was absolutely the best and she deserves a raise! She’s excellent at what she does. The food was delicious and Sang was very consistent in making sure we were well taken care of along with Tee. An overall great experience!!!

We took the suggestion of a friend to try Rays in the City. From the moment we walked in the door we were treated well and the atmosphere is on point. We allowed the waiter, Mercury, to guide our choices of food. Both my husband and I took his suggestions and there was not the slightest disappointment. I tried the Halibut and my husband had the tomahawk steak. Both were beyond superb. Being a picky person about drinks and food I was impressed. Formerly a waitress myself I have high standards for service and Mercury far exceeded my normal standards and has raised the bar. Request him if you try this place he will ensure you’re well taken care of! Thanks Mercury!!

Visited on my birthday this past Saturday and was treated well. Gave me complimentary champagne which is always a good thing. Ordered the Shrimp and Grits for an entree, delicious. For dessert, a Butter Cake with a scoop of ice cream and blueberries on top. To all of the staff at “Rays in the City” I would like to thank you for making my birthday special.

WOW!!! exceptional food, and exceptional service. Danny, Alejandro and Jesus were amazing. Highly HIGHLY recommend. Had the mustard crusted grouper, chef’s creation filet and salmon and the lobster Parmesan risotto.

The experience at Ray's in the City was AMAZING!!! From the time we walked in the door, the hostess was very personable and greeted us in such a welcoming fashion! The ambiance and the musical selections were very befitting for the clientele. Our servers, Danny and Alex were sooooo attentive! They got our food out to us quickly and continued to check on us throughout the evening! We will definitely be back to support this business! This was a memorable evening with wonderful people!

A fantastic experience. Will be back. See photos and descriptions for more details.

This spot is worth a try. They serve big portions for affordable rates. Always well kept and with great atmosphere. I highly recommend this place.

This restaurant is a gem in the heart of the city. The food was excellent and the service was superb. We were treated as favored guests even though it was our first time there. Upon retuning to Atlanta, i will definitely make a visit the priority. Ray's was excellent! The service was fantastic; ambiance was beautiful with white linens and the works; and of course! The food was delicious! The best crab cakes I have ever had - anywhere!

My boyfriend brought me here for my birthday and to say I had an amazing time is an understatement. The entire staff was so nice and polite. As soon as I walked in I received a birthday card from the hostess and was asked my preferred birthday cake as soon as I was seated. Their wine selection was amazing. My favorite part was the food lol of course! I had the She Crab soup and Fried Calamari & Shrimp as a starter and the Shrimp Scampi & Linguini Pasta as an entree. My boyfriend had their Seafood Gumbo as a starter and a lobster tail as an entree. This was probably the best She Crab soup I’ve ever had and I am from Washington D.C so that is saying a lot. I received the Lemon Butter Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream and Blueberry Compote as a birthday dessert and it was AMAZING! Personally I was not a fan of the cake texture but the taste was amazing. The ice cream was gone within seconds! I will definitely be going back.

What an unexpected treat!! My husband and I were staying the night at the Westin, downtown and didn’t want to drive anywhere for diner. We saw Ray’s was close by, so we thought we would give it a try. Our food was delicious! We started off with oysters Rockefeller as an appetizer...very tasty. Then for dinner, the linguine shrimp and crab cakes. The shrimp were nice and big and the crab cakes had nice big juicy crab meat! Our wait staff, Maggie and Molly, were attentive to our every need! We will definitely go back with friends!

I own a boutique in Savannah. I come here every year when the market is in town. Servers were awesome. I had Charles all 3 times I came in and his partner Anthony. They were so welcoming and happy to help my partner and I with our allergies and restrictions. Food was good and the restaurant was very busy, so I was glad they could help us out. Hope to be back in a few months.

Great food and great service a little pricey but you get what you pay for

For being what it is. The take out food was well presented and well meet! Kudos to the staff!!

SUMMARY - Better places nearby; try those first. DETAILS: Ray's was recommended by a friend. I called Ray's to get information regarding the dress code (business casual - so sweat pants, shorts, etc.). Reservations were also suggested so we made them for Friday night at 8:15PM. We were staying nearby and arrived there at 8:05PM; we were promptly greeted and told that our table would be ready soon. We were waiting in the lobby and observed a lack of compliance with mandated Co-Vid requirements for guests (no masks, no ability to distance, no ability to wait outside and hear name called), no dress code (multiple people in sweat suits, a guest in denim shorts, t-shirts with faded jeans, etc), and no mention of our table until after 8:45PM. Once seated, we were next to a bus station so it was not only busy, but many clankings of dishes, glasses, and silverware tossed around. A group of people were seated near us that were drunk (to quote one of them, "We've been drinking at the bar for over an hour and I am f***** up!") and loud (conversing with people across the restaurant about their food). Multiple patrons were visibly disturbed, but the server immediately offered them more alcohol. This behavior would continue for the duration of my visit. The lead server suggested an appetizer (the calamari) which was a generous portion that perfectly fried. For our main course, my fiancée ordered broiled seafood and I had a ribeye. Her seafood was prepared fantastically and it was obvious that the seafood shines. My steak had little taste and the cut seemed to be improper based on the graining. I had a blue cheese topping that was charred; it was a fantastic savior to the steak! Because we were celebrating we took some cheesecake to go; it was also delicious. Overall I awarded Ray's 3 stars. There were some great things (the seafood especially) and things that were on par with Chili's or other casual dining (no reason for a dress code and waiting for 30 minutes PAST our reservation time). I would strongly suggest other places nearby where the service is more consistent, the food offered is a specialty, and the atmosphere is accommodating.

MERCURY WAS GREAT!!!! He was amazing and went out of his way to make sure we had Everything we needed!!! The Shrimp and Grits was Amazing as well... Definitely going back!!!

We come to Atlanta 4 times a year for market and apparel shows. We always eat at Ray's everything is outstanding

We always make this a regular spot during market. The food was good but we were bit surprised by the size of the crowd during Covid. Probably best to avoid again this trip. I will miss the Parmesan Scallops!!

We love coming to Ray’s after a long day at Market. We especially love seeing Theresa and John who always greet us with smiles and the best service ever! One of our Favs!!

We love Ray's! Our favorite daily tradition when we come to market - couldn't make it through without y'all! Teresa always makes us feel so welcome and taken care of, and chatting with John about market and his fab outfits is so fun. We are always so happy here, and treated so well!

Best eatery in downtown food and service was everything

Very yummy. Great waiters. Great atmosphere. Will be back.

Came in town for the show at America's Mart. We dine at Ray's every year when we come to Atlanta. I am so happy to be able to come back in town and treat my staff to dinner here! Our server Charles was the absolute best we have ever had in our 10+ years of dining here. We will be back again later this week and he better be working! Seabass and steaks were cooked beautifully and Charles walked us through the (very reasonably priced) wine list to find a solid bottle.

I order NY SS. And k C Legs but unfortunately the waitress gave me the old / wrong menu . Beyond that food was awesome ending ordered losbter and F mignon.

Good service and very friendly environment would definitely come back again Mercury was an amazing server

Jesus and Danny were amazing! I love this place!

Loved it. The scallops melted in your mouth.

Best salmon ever!!

Safe distancing seating. Servers are marked and gloves. Paper menus available. Temp taken before seating and hand sanitizing before seated.

Absolute best food we have eaten in a very long time. Definitely more than $$ pricing but worth every penny. We also went in jeans and tennis shoes. Service was excellent! Will definitely go back when in Atlanta again.

Excellent service and food!

My faith in food has been restored!

This restaurant was absolutely fabulous! Our curator, Mercury, took great care of us with awesome recommendations! Ask for him and he'll take care of you.

Great early dinner on New Year’s Eve. Rays was the highlight of our trip to Atltanta due to our Bearcats loss :(

New Year’s Eve dinner was fantastic - the waiter brought us a champagne toast at midnight this was a nice touch

Good place, very nice staff and prompt service

This was a huge disappointment. Food quality a couple steps from Applebee’s

MERCURY was the best server ever!! He took such great care of us and made me something new off the menu because I was indecisive!!! This is a great date night restaurant and super affordable as well!

News years date night the food was great the restaurant had a good vibe the waiters were all working together. Props to Edwin we had a wonderful night.

We were in ATL for New Years and Peach Bowl, the restaurant was crowded but not uncomfortable. The service and food top notch

(Translated by Google) NEW best ever! (Original) NYE best ever!

It’s New Year’s Eve. I come in with a reservation I made over 2 weeks ago. It takes 10 minutes to be seated. Normally this doesn’t bother me. But they charged a $10 fee to hold your reservation. So, if you can charge me money, you can seat me on time. We get seated. Service is POOOOR! So slow. I ordered a shot of tequila. Didn’t get a lime. Asked for a lime. And my appetizer came out before the lime arrived ... it’s a lime.. what’s going on? I notice people around me have bread with their dinner, when I ask if we get bread she seems annoyed and says “well I’ll see if there’s some available” which again usually isn’t a problem, BUT for the price of the food I should have been offered and told it would be available soon. I come from a tourist a town and am used to getting great service. This has been atrocious. I’m grossly disappointed that I made my New Years plans here. And will live the rest of my days telling people NOT to go to Rays.

The service was great! My friend and I made a reservation for a Wednesday night. There was social distancing and sanitizing in place. The food was good my friend had a complaint about the corn brulee, it didn't taste the same as the Rays in the River location. The server informed us that they changed the the corn brulee recipe. In all the food was seasoned well, flavorful, and fresh/hot. We did not drive, but the parking garages are close and what you would expect in downtown atl (at least $20).

Excellent food! Great atmosphere!

5 STARS!!!!! Mac n Cheese 9 out of 10. Broiled seafood plate 10 out of 10. Very nice staff. Highly recommend.

Very nice looking establishment to start off with. Our service was just OK and I had a few issues with my food. They cooked my steak wrong but they made up for that with a soup. I took my lobster Mac and cheese home and took a bite and got a mouth full of lobster tail SHELL. We thinking about coming back to give them another chance maybe it was a bad night!!!

This was our first time at Ray's in the City during DragonCon. Tee was very warm, inviting, and knowledgeable about the menu. We're definitely looking forward to returning on our next trip.

I’ve gone to Ray’s on the River and loved it. This location was different but I loved it as well. In comparison, I wish more patrons would’ve dressed up for the vibe here. Amazing food and beverages. They allowed us to shut down with them without feeling rushed.

Services at Rays is top notch. Atmosphere is great. Food was good but not over the top. Scallops and salmon were lacking flavor.

The food was delicious and the service was outstanding! Troy and Molly were wonderful and took excellent care of us. My crab cakes were ridiculously good and my husband's steak was fantastic! The drinks were great and by the time we got to dessert we were so stuffed we couldn't finish it but I wish I could have. It was amazing! We had an absolutely wonderful experience

Mercury was our waiter .he was excellent. Our food was delicious. First time coming definitely not the last

Had a couple of nights in Atlanta and was looking for a good dinner restaurant on short notice. Came across Ray's and WOW I'm glad I did. This restaurant was SOOOOOO exceptional. The shrimp and grits are unreal and the seafood linguine blew my socks off. Service was 5 star. Will definitely be coming back to Ray's again!

The food at Ray’s always amazing. The oyster’s Rockefeller is top notch, the oysters taste fresh and are cooked perfectly. The salmon Oscar is a must have as well, the seafood here is so good! Our servers Tasia and Devonte were so friendly and attentive, definitely ask for them if you go!

Absolutely amazing time at ray's. Every dish was great, but don't sleep on the mashed potatoes or the cheesecake. Tasia and Najee were excellent servers. They never left us wanting and waiting.

Everything was amazing! We loved the atmosphere, the food, and the service. We were celebrating my mom's birthday. We will definitely visit again!

The food was fantastic! I started with the fritters which had an amazing honey balsamic glaze, then was blown away by the ribeye steak. It was massive, and tasted amazing. I had a wedge salad with the steak, which was delicious and beautifully presented as well. Finally, for dessert, I tried the praline basket which was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Tasia and Najee were awesome; they were friendly, courteous and polite and improved the already incredible experience. Highly recommend trying this place out.

We made a last minute reservations for my Birthday, 🥳🎂🎉 and it was absolutely good! Excellent food, menu is extensive and seasonal to a particularly high standard. Definitely fine dining! Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in ATLANTA. The service is unmatched, 5*****! 😉

We dined here for my husband's birthday and the service was exceptional as well as the food. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely visit again. Thank you to our servers Joy and Tasia for making it a wonderful experience.

I had oysters, shrimp scampi (blackened shrimp), and warm buttercake, and my husband had chicken parmigiana. The food was good (my husband said the chicken parmigiana is in his top 5), but the highlight of this restaurant was our server Lillian. Her personality is so sweet and bubbly. She's personable, patient and very attentive - bringing an Arnold Palmer refill without me asking. If you ever go to Ray's, I hope Lillian is your server. She made the dining experience well worth it!

This place was a bit disappointing to me. It started at the hostess stand when 2 of us arrived 10 minutes earlier than the other 2 people in our party. The hostess would not seat us and as I looked around, the place was nearly a ghost town. I asked if they were too busy to seat us and we were told that it was their policy to only seat when the entire party was there. I get that, but I felt it was not necessary in that situation. We were told that we could wait in the lobby, but apparently those seats were being cleaned and were wet, so we had to sit at the bar until the other 2 people in the party arrived. Needless to say, I was quite annoyed by that point. The food didn't help either. Everything tasted so bland and I even had to try adding salt and pepper to my mashed potatoes. The plating was weird and the sentiments were the same with the other people in my group. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. For the price, I was definitely expecting more. The cheesecake was drenched in blueberries to the point that it was more like blueberry compote with a hint of cheesecake. Outside of the mediocre experience, the shining stars at this place are the servers. It seemed weird that we would have 3 servers for a table of 4, but the attention was nice and they were always on top of everything. The warm towels at the end of the meal was a nice touch and it was cool that we could pay right from the table. Shoutout to Joy, Jazz, and Alex for a great job and for making me give more stars on this review than I would have otherwise.

Rays was an excellent choice for a nice date night. We started off with BBQ shrimp, raw oysters, and oyster Rockefeller. All were delicious! For mains we chose the specials of the tomahawk and whole branzino. Both were delicious. However the mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese stole the show. Overall the food was great. The service could have been better. Sides were forgotten which is okay. We had plenty of food to work on while we waited. The other service issue was minor but still note worthy. We ordered bottles of wine as well as sparkling water. Several times our glasses would become completely empty and my date would have to pour my wine for me. I know this is simple but it was bothersome that our server, his helper, and what appeared to be a manager was standing very close chatting and observing the dining room by while my wine glass was empty. With that being my only real complaint I absolutely will return next time I'm in the city as the food and experience was wonderful overall.

Definitely worth a try. Nice place with great food. I was here from out of town. I am impressed with everything and the service was amazing. Victor and Jordan both were great! The whole experience was so good I would definitely do it again. The food was so good I ordered soup, salad, grouper with a lobster tail and finished it with an awesome key lime cheesecake with berries! I may have to walk for a couple of hours to burn it off, but it was worth it.

We had a nice dinner at Ray's during a very busy time in downtown Atlanta. In the middle of DragonCon! We made a reservation and arrived early and they still were able to get us in. Our servers were very attentive and courteous. I would mention that the sides and appetizers are large and sharable as the menu says so it would be good to discuss with those you are dining with. Usually they would also have a dress code but they let us in on this occasion because of the convention. We will probably return here again next year! Thanks for a good night.

Ray’s in the city was an absolute great choice for my birthday dinner. I was greeted with so much love and laughter by the staff. Our server Mario was fantastic. He has a sexy voice or at least spoke in his sexy voice while recommending and sharing the details of the menu. He is as so friendly, so glad he was the one who served us. The manager was everything, so nice and friendly and so personable. There aren’t enough words to talk about this great experience. So grateful for my friends for bringing me here for my birthday! I will definitely recommend this upscale restaurant to everyone. The food was delicious and the ambiance amazing.

Ray's in the City did not disappoint. I haven't been in years and everything was basically perfect. Impeccable service by T, sure was spot on from the drinks to appetizers to entrees, thank you T! The food was delectable down to the desserts. Thanks so much Ray's I wasn't expecting much because of other places lack luster services and food blaming it on the pandemic, I truly enjoyed everything RAY'S IN THE CITY had to offer and they delivered so much more. We will return.

Food: tasty, delicious, and interesting. We really enjoyed the break, it was only $7 with a big basket of variety of bread. The pretzel was wonderful! The best pretzel I have ever had, it was soft and tasty! Price: surprisingly not so expensive, good price! Environment: fancy and cozy, band playing music, beautiful flowers on the table and interesting lights to make you feel good and comfortable. Service: great service, attentive and welcoming.

When we arrived, we were greeted immediately. When we were seated, we were introduced to our own personal serving staff. Bobby, Jean, and Sang showed us white glove treatment, and made each of us feel like a celebrity with their impeccable service.The menu was a variety of so many different delicious options from the land and the sea! It took us all a while before we were able to finalize our selections. Once ordered, it didn’t take long at all for our entrées to arrive. All of the sides and portions were HUGE, and everything tasted amazing!! This was my first time dining at Ray’s, and will not be the last. 5 Stars all around!! Side note: if I could have kissed the chef…I would have!!

Holy **** this place is good. The drinks were perfect, the food was beyond exceptional, and the service was fantastic. It was pricey but you pay for what you get when you come here. There was not a thing served that looked bad and we all enjoyed our meals. We had Alex, Chris, and Teresa helping us out and they were so pleasant and responsive the entire time. If I could give 10 stars I would

Tee was our waitress. She is a rockstar, very compelling and very customer centric. She went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience. The food was so delicious and Tee periodically checked on us to make sure we are all good, she helped us pick the best drink which was really amazing. Her attention to detail is top notch, we enjoyed our time at Ray’s in the city. What a beautiful birthday dinner we had.

My husband took me here last night for my 45th birthday and we absolutely loved this place! The food and atmosphere were amazing. The bread basket and pimento goat cheese balls were delicious. We got the shareable hot platter and everything was cooked to perfection. I got a slice of red velvet cake to go and tasted it when I got home- probably the best red velvet I’ve ever had. We will definitely be back!

My husband & I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary at Ray's this weekend. Our server was Tee & she was phenomenal!! She gave us recommendations of things to try & her service was wonderful. They were experiencing issues with their check-out payment system & she was very accommodating for the wait inconvenience. We will be back & will ask for Tee. The food was by far the best meal we've had in a long time!

Lucion was our server for the night. He took good care of us. Impeccable service. I will definitely come back to see him and eat good food.

This location Ray's at the City was awesome. All of the food was sooo delicious. I was celebrating my birthday with my daughter and friends and out server EDWIN was Amazing as well. He was very friendly, attentative, and accommodating. I will definitely return and will ask for him. Thanks Edwin!!!

Edwin was all awesome server. He was very personable and professional. I'm so thankful for making our dining experience a very special one. We celebrate 2 birthdays tonight and both honorees also enjoyed their experience with Edwin. Thanks again for your spectacular service.

Coming here makes me miss Ruth Chris even more. Food is good, but service can use some work. Ordered dessert to go when we got home it was missing dome items. No attention to detail. Parking downtown is terrible period. Restaurant dress code business casual should be followed by everyone. I am dressed and people coming in with jeans. Lobster m ac and cheese did not taste Lobster. The cocktail were excellent I must say!!!

Everytime I come here I have an excellent experience all around! I've had Menar H. as a server twice now and he always provides excellent service; it's clear he loves what he does!!! He knows the menu and he's attentive. Thank you Menar!!! I always get the seafood platter and the lobster mac... the lobster bisque is good too. Bae said the crème brûlée was the best he's ever tasted!

Going to Rays this week was a great way to enter my Christmas weekend. Kevin made me feel at home while feeling completely catered to. Kevin’s service help me over look all the food being fried in shell fish grease. If you have a shell fish allergy be prepared to have limited options but fall in love with the stead and environment

I had an amazing experience from beginning to end. Made reservations for a party of about 10 for my birthday. We were seating immediately. The service was top tier, & the waiter did not miss a beat, despite the size of our party. The food definitely lived up to the hype & was well worth the price. I Can’t say enough good things about Ray’s In The City!

We had a reservation of 14 guests for our corporate Christmas dinner. Tee took care of the entire table, and all 14 of us left happy and with the upmost care and respect towards Tee. The food was delicious, the drinks I'm still drooling over, they were that good. After dinner was over, we headed to the bar and were treated with the same attention to detail and kindness by Rice. It was simply a wonderful experience. Thank you to all the staff that made it possible. We will see you again soon!

Despite the reviews, I wanted to give it a chance, to the restaurant. I was tired and my hotel was next door. I really dislike small tables agains the wall. I was guide to one of those and I immediately request another table. The hostess face showed contrarily and surprise but allowed me to sit in another table. My opinion, I don’t get a discount for sitting against the wall, right!? Them sit me with comfort. The Seafood Gumbo soup was good in flavor but there was to much rice in the combination, in other words, I would not call it, a soup and was cold! The artisanal bread basket arrived long after “the soup” missing the lavash and the walnut’s bread, two out five, is to much… my opinion. If the restaurant runs out of bread, give a discount or explain it to the customers. The main course arrived before I finished the starters, very inconvenient because it rushed me to eat it, afraid of eating it cold. The Lobster Carbonada, main course, not near acceptable, the plate flavor was loss in the extremely salty and abundant bacon, the lobster “Maine lobster” as per Kevin, the server, was definitely not from Maine. Maine lobster is kind of sweet and delicious. The lobster served in the plate was either previously freezer for to long or raised in a farm. The dessert, warm butler cake, acceptable but too sweet and the cake was hard. The check was left at the table before I finish my dessert. I never had water at the table!!!! Special thanks to the Asian man that was cleaning the tables, he brought me water before leaving and a small box to carry my breads, so sweet of him. He was so happy when I give him $ ??. He deserves more. Money is not an issue, my bill was about $88 for just one person, me. I don’t mind paying for good food, if I get delicious food that I won’t be able to imitate at home and the service is adequate. Will not recommend this restaurant, unless you never had anything better or don’t order the same I did. Kevin, offered me a great smile and the manager was nice, they noticed I didn’t eat my main course and after my explanation it was taken out of the bill …but… not water on my table?! The food out of order and cold!? The bill before finishing my desert?! Only a cartoon bag for my bread?! Was he expecting me to just throw the breads in the bag? Hmmmmmmm🤔… not a good service starting from the hostess disappointed face, not good food, not good experience. I hope this review help someone in the future and the restaurant to do better. Only good intentions. Peace

Food was amazing. There were options for everyone. I had the CRISPY CALAMARI & SHRIMP- a must try. The Lobster Mac had a very generous amount of lobster but seemed to lack seasoning in my opinion. The Maryland Style Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes will melt in your mouth, the potatoes and asparagus perfectly paired, this entree was seasoned to perfection. My cocktail was the SWEET PEACH MARGARITA. Although I am not a drink specialists this drink was delicious.
