The crab cocktail was very delicious, but I have to admit I was overall disappointed. Having grown up in Ballard, I was under the impression that Ray's was a must dining experienc...

Best place to take Mom and Dad 11/5/2008

This is where we take out of town company. They food is good standard go out to dinner fare and the view and atmosphere is great. Seattle has better places to go for unique food and seafood, this is a safe bet for picky (unimaginative) types. more

Good food, sh^tty service 9/24/2008

This review is for the Cafe - Citysearch should have these separated as the experience at each is vastly different! The food was pretty good but the service was horrendous. When we were seated we were brought water right away but almost 15 mins later (no exaggeration) we had to ask for our waitress to come over. We ordered a bottle of wine, an appetizer and two entrees. But, when we were trying to remember what we had agreed on to split (15 mins earlier) she was visibly perturbed and walked off without letting us finish what we were saying. She was a total BI^CH! Then we waited for another 10 or 12 mins and still NO WINE! Our appetizer came before our wine! When she finally brought the wine she was trying to make small talk (probably because she realized she was getting no tip at this point) and said she was moving home to South Carolina in 7 days. GOOD RIDDANCE! The mussels appetizer was awesome and I don't even like mussels! The coconut curry broth was divine. The crab and shrimp cakes with a cilantro puree were excellent, but the salmon was disappointing. I cook salmon at home all the time and I could have done as good. The mashed potatoes with a cucumber hollandaise the salmon was served with was very good though. So, overall, great food, sh^tty service. Oh, and the preppy valet kid had a serious attitude. I wish I hadn't tipped him at all! Pros: The view, the view, the view Cons: Horrible service more

Great ambience 6/17/2008

This is a great place for either happy hour or more formal dining. Each time I've visited, both the food and service were good. It sure doesn't hurt that the location has a water view. Pros: View, food, service Cons: Parking more

Can't beat the view 6/17/2008

Ray's Cafe...The atmosphere at this less expensive version of Ray's is amazing, you can't beat the view and the food is pretty good, not great, but good. The fish from the fish and chips has an odd flavor that I wasn't crazy about, but the tarter sauce was awesome. The calamari and crab cake apps were tasty. I will definitely go here again, just won't order fish and chips. Pros: View Cons: Bad Fish and Chips more

Wasn't the Soundgarden frontman once a sous chef at ray's? 6/9/2008

Chris Cornell, I heard was once a sous chef at Ray's Boathouse. Of course, he went on to a great career with a seminal band, Soundgarden. Now he has his own restaurant in Paris, Black Calavados. Ray's Boathouse was excellent during my last visit, and i'm eager to return. more
