    Shrimp were a little smaller than I expected since they are described as colossal shrimp. However, they were delicious.

    The food and cocktails were superb. BBQ shrimp appetizer, whole fish (branzino) stuffed with crab, lobster mac, and brussels/cauliflower combo. Fig Old fashioned and the French Dream cocktails. Everything was outstanding. 🥳

    I brought my team to eat, the food was good, waiter was good, however there is a STRONG odor when you walk in the front lobby. The smell dissipates when you walk through the bar, BUT it returns when you get to the dining area. Management needs to PLEASE work on a better ventilation system.

    We were there for over 2 hours. We were seated next to a party of 2 very loud men that frequently dropped the F bomb. One was wearing a ball cap. The appetizer arrived before our drinks. My salad was a mound of lettuce with minimal fruit and nuts that were supposed to be on the salad and my salmon was over cooked.

    Worst experience I’ve ever had at Rays. I was here in January had amazing meal and this was awful. The dining room was hot and stuffy. I think I somehow made my server mad so that was a bad experience and finally my dinner was awful. Our Martinis were room temperature. Always been my favorite place to eat save it for last night of market as a “reward” but definitely was not a reward tonight. We met friends outside on the sidewalk and their experience was equally as bad. So disappointing. My dinner was comped but would so much rather have had a great meal

    Hostess seated us promptly at a table near the back which was very nice since we had a sleeping baby with us. Waiter was great as well and spoke softly so as not to wake the baby. Food was great as always. Prepared just the way we asked. Love Rays

    The calamari and the shrimp was excellent as always. The lobster mac & cheese was not warm throughout. Our server definitely could’ve been more attentive. Not the 1st time we’ve had this issue with the same server.

    Hostess says she has a great table and it was next to the kitchen door in a small room in the back. We chose to sit at the bar. The bar was never cleaned before we were served. Appetizer took 30 minutes to get to us. Only when we reminded the server, did they call up all the food that was "on hold" in the kitchen. Our appetizer had been under the heat lamp and was not fresh. We ordered two shrimp cocktails and only one was delivered. We were going to order entrees, but decided against it for the lack of attention, speed and freshness. This was the third time we had a negative experience at Rays. They all seem to stem from poor management of time and resources which distracts from otherwise good food.
