    I went here for my birthday and it was a great experience. Ryan gave great service and suggested amazing food on the menu. The salmon, praline basket and red velvet cake were SO good. Ryan is the best server and I would trust his judgement with any food item 🩷🩷🩷🩷

    Grouper, halibut and special fish were very good however the $60 lambchop alacarte entry fell short. Tough meat, hard to cut with a knife…definitely not worth the price. Very disappointing..

Everyone that we interacted with was extremely professional and friendly. #3: The food was delicious! We left nothing on our plates( although we did have a few take away boxes!). I definitely plan to return!

    We were celebrating our 41st anniversary. This was my idea and wasn’t sure my wife would like it. But she really liked the experience. The service was great. We normally don’t spend the money for a celebration meal, and aren’t accustom to how things work in a high end restaurant. The staff was patient and informative making us feel at ease. Thanks again Frankie and the other waitress, I’m sorry I don’t recall her name. Both ladies did an excellent job 😀

    A beautiful day, warm, filled with sunshine, and a gorgeous view of the fast-moving Chattahoochie from our table alongside the window at Ray's on the River. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive; the food was stellar (a beautiful crab cake, unadulterated with fillers, and an opulent lobster roll, with a half pound of luscious lobster meat); the wine was excellent; and the tableware and linens were impeccable. All of which confirms that Ray's on the River remains the best Atlanta-area restaurant for special occasions. Thank you!

    First time at this restaurant and I have to say food a service were outstanding. It is expensive but I don't ever mind paying for quality! However I was rather disappointed with our table. Down a few stairs there are two 2 tops, one on the left and one one the right......just adjacent to a server station. A quality restaurant like this should not have tables there! Again, great food, great service, exquisite location......disappointing table.

    Extremely busy on Friday night. But the service was quite good. The food was tasty - but this is a pricey menu. I'm not a fan of the live music - it was tolerable, since we were pretty far way.

    My son and I celebrated his birthday at Ray's. We were able to book reservations on short notice and received top tier service from the greeting by the parking attendant to farewell from the staff at the front desk. In the nearly 30 years that I have been dining at Ray's I have never been disappointed with the food, the atmosphere or the service. A commitment to excellence for that long is truly a feat to be celebrated. Thank you to the staff for helping my family and I create more great memories at your restaurant.
