   In town for a conference and it was recommended. Made a 7:30 reservation for 4 was seated at 7:31 and took almost 20 minutes for someone to come over and take drink orders. There were several large parties dining so I definitely understand that they were busy, however a dessert or some other token of apology would have been nice. Olivia was very apologetic for the wait.

   Restaurant was uncrowded, and we had waiter’s undivided attention, seemingly. He was excellent making recommendations on food and wine and deserts. It was our first visit to downtown location. Will be back.

   Whenever I’m in town Rays is always one of my favorite stops for lunch or dinner. Can’t go wrong here for quality food and service.

   My husband and I chose to celebrate our anniversary at Ray's. At least four different members of the staff -- from the hostess and server to other wait staff etc. -- acknowledged our special occasion, which was a very nice touch. The service (from Keith) was stellar. Overall, our meals were very good (Note: the lobster carbonara was tasty, but watery in consistency). My husband still is raving about his gumbo appetizer and scallops with risotto entree. And dessert was magnificent. Our reservation was for early Sunday, just after opening. We practically had the restaurant to ourselves -- very quiet, very intimate. One moderately annoying feature was the little fruit flies I had to continually keep shooing away from my beverage glass. That one thing will NOT prevent us from returning. Overall, a really wonderful afteroon.

   Very good drinks and food, service was a bit slow, but server was friendly. We were at a table in a walkway so not a great table.

   Disappointing. Some tables had white tablecloths while the majority did not. Vegetables overcooked and under seasoned. Service mediocre at best. A table of 16 walked out, wished we had too.

   There’s a lot of conventions so I’m gonna chalk it up to a busy time of year. However, we were seated early, which was lovely staff was great. It took 15 minutes to get water. It took us 40 minutes to get cocktails. It was just a very long service. The server was very friendly and helpful. That I will say, and the food was really delicious.

   Service was slow; the waitress delivered the steaks to my three dining partners and forgot mine until I reminded her and by then it was barely warm. Be careful choosing this restaurant.
