“Best of 3 Dinner's”

Made reservation via opentable.com for 6:30 on Saturday. Had requested and received table by window. Downstairs restaurant, not upstairs lounge. Dresscode is neat casual. Jeans and non-tee-shirts work. Nice waterfront location and view - cloudy - so not much of sunset view, but has great potential. From host staff to server all were warm and nice to work with. Only bad thing to report was kitchen did not space time between appetizers and entrees to allow for break as we requested. Steamed Mussels and Clams for starters - quite yummy - save some bread for sopping up sauces. It was fresh AK halibut season, so recommended and was not dissapointed. Nice wine list. Would certainly go back again. Complimentary valet parking was useful since parking lot was crowded and weather was cilly and damp. 20 minute drive from Waterfront Marriott.

This is a great place to go in the summer and sit outside. The restuarant even provides blankets and heat lamps for the chilly summer evenings

Went with bunch of friends. Had grill Halibut, and my gf had the Classic King Salmon. We both like it, and the sauce in my entree was great. Very very nice view.

Pretty damn nice restaurant. We occasionally went to Ray's when we lived in across from Seattle. We would take our boat over there and park in the marina and just walk down to the restaurant. Really beautiful view of Puget Sound. Great sandwiches and other yummy delights. Fine dining downstairs and just the regular folk go up stairs.

“Fantastic Food and Experience”

We went to Ray's for a belated Valentine's Day meal and were completely satisfied. The service was very attentive and polite. Even as tourists, we were seated next to the window with views of the water. I had the Ray's Sampler which had three excellent servings of different fish. My fiancee had the sea scallops over fennel which were, in her words, "life-altering." The portions were appropriate, classy without being continentally petite. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a grand meal in Seattle.
