The outdoor ambiance is perfect in the warmer months. Food is always consistently good. Service is good - not overly attentive which can be a good thing. Music was slightly loud where we were seated.

It was a warm sunny day and we were out on the patio but there was no fan or air flowing. It was a greenhouse effect and nothing was cleaned or dusted off - tables, benches, chairs, pillows. Food and service was great and the restaurant drips charm but there were small misses.

Terrible experience. Service was not good. Ordered bread came with 2 special spreads that we did not like. Requested regular butter, not once, not twice but three times. Never got any so bread never eaten. Ordered sea bass ($52) it was over cooked, sides were terrible.Never received any itemized receipt to review. Never had an opportunity to select the gratuity. Will never go back and will never recommend to anyone.

Outstanding afternoon at the Raymond. From our warm greeting by the hostess and valet, followed by exceptional service from Christopher. We celebrated a Birthday with champagne brunch… beginning with a delicious cinnamon roll, Avocado Toast, Eggs Benedict (both the classic and crab cake were perfection). The entire experience was a delight. Would highly recommend for intimate meals and larger group celebrations!

We sat inside. Food was mediocre at best. I heard brunch was good and outside is a vibe. Regular diner wasn’t the one

Sea bass and mushroom truffle pasta were excellent, highly recommend both. The dark chocolate pudding for dessert also hit the spot. Excellent dinner, would come back!

We love The Raymond and always enjoy our time there. The food is great, the ambiance is perfect for a nice day, and the people are friendly and kind. Our only challenge and ongoing issue is that the service is regularly slow. It’s not bad, just slow, and it’s been consistently this way on many occasions for us.
