   Make sure to ask for Connor! He was impeccable in helping make sure my mom’s birthday was special. I also appreciate Maria in getting us a window table as requested and Rosa for making sure everything was being taken care of. Including packing our leftovers. Order the Buddha bowl and steak! The hidden gem was the tempura asparagus and coconut mojito. Old school elegance in a often way still lingers here at Raya even after Covid. Can’t beat the sunset here…looked like a Rothko. Have a great time, enjoy the food and be kind to the staff, it’s hard out there!

    This was our second time here. We celebrated a birthday. Our table was ready right away and we had one right in front of the window to see the beautiful view and sunset 😍 The food was sensational and our server was wonderful. I would fully recommend this restaurant!!!

    Our waitress was fantastic when she was around, but she was virtually never around. We had to ask for her several times from other staff. The seating was next to a heavily trafficked hallway, and the salmon was very salty. This was not up to Ritz standards.

    Manager Shawn and his team were nice. We didn’t feel rushed. It wasn’t a huge menu but they do have kids menu. I pre-ordered a 6-inch cake for my son’s birthday and my wedding anniversary, it was worth it. My family enjoyed the cake, it wasn’t too sweet. The ocean view looked spectacular from our table. Looking forward to be back.

    Very disappointed. I have been here before and never had this experience. We began with coffee. Twice we had to send it back because the cream curdled. Finally gave up and stuck with water. Next go the Piloncillo Shrimp. The shrimp wasn't nearly cooked enough. Did not send back because the guest I was with already eating so I didn't want to hold the lunch up. Just didn't eat the shrimp. Did say something to the waiter. We were planning to have dessert, however, the waiter never came and asked us if we wanted dessert and instead just dropped off the bill. I have been here many times and never had this happen. Was very disappointed.

    For a fine dining, the food was less than average. Limited menu items. The appetizers were more like a bar menu, and the main entree were just ok. Go there for the view and drinks, but dine elsewhere.

    We were treated to outstanding service by everyone who came to our table. Our main wait staff person was Sam who did a great job taking care of us. When we booked our reservation we had asked to be taken care of by Dean, however, he was working in one of their other restaurants the night we were there. He was told we asked for him, so he came over to our table to say Hi and brought us all a red rose. His gesture was "over the top" which is one of the many reasons we love dining at RAYA. Each of our meals was absolutely delicious!

    Reward to my staff for reaching a big goal My 3rd time for dinner and the best overall experience The service had the perfect balance of attending to our needs and staying out of the way so we could enjoy our time Would love to have Elizabeth again, she was professional, warm and fun The valet area was congested, but also a Saturday with a wedding party Food quality was even better than expected If the gift shop was open I would have spent even more $ on my staff Our experience was at the standard that I expect from the Ritz Greg
