Ray's On The River

Make a reservation if it's important to you to eat here, as they are seemingly always busy! We finally had the chance to eat here for our Christmas Eve Eve dinner after using OpenTable to make a reservation and got seated at a table with a view. The server was friendly and knowledgeable, and the views were gorgeous. My husband ordered his steak medium and it came out well done. He ate it rather than sending it back. The truffle fries were just okay compared to lots of others I've had and loved; I wouldn't order them again. My 13 year old son ate the lobster Mac and cheese as his meal and loved it. We'd definitely return to this specific location in the distant future.

Amazing experience from start to finish! The sweet bartender made us a mocktail made with fresh berries and ginger beer. She didn’t charge us for my hubby’s drink since it was his birthday, which started our dinner off to a good start. We were sat at our table and David was an amazing server with impeccable service. Dishes came out delicious and nicely presented. I still dream about the dessert that he recommended. He turned me into a Lemon Butter Cake fan! Although it was already dark outside, it was still such a beautiful view of the river glistening with all the string lights around the area. Even the valet attendants were so pleasant and nice. Huge plus for having complimentary parking. We will be back again!

I am visiting family and friends in Atlanta. This place is so amazing and the food was delicious. The restaurant by the river is an amazing view. Devant e was an excellent waiter. Explain everything to us like we royalty. Chauntel was the other waitress who was sweet and kind. Also very helpful. Now to the food. I had the shrimp and grits!!! OMG, the flavor was excellent. My friend had broil seafood platter. The seasoning was fabulous. The appetizer was great as well, and the sweet potatoes were great. The dessert was delicious as well. I will be returning to eat there again.

We went to Ray’s on the River for our anniversary. We were seated immediately (we had reservations) our server was Connor and he was EXCELLENT! We started with the fried calamari, they didn’t over cook it, & it was delicious! Sometimes the stars align and everything just works perfectly. We had their special (flame grilled ribeye with the Oscar topping, scallops, and fried lobster tail (that was Connor’s recommendation, which turned out perfectly. My steak was supposed to be medium well, but arrived a little overcooked. However, the steak must have been aged some as it still very tender. The meal was excellent. Connor brought wine to the table, but after one sip, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to finish it. He was VERY gracious and asked if he could get me something else. I ordered the Sangria (which also wasn’t good) I did apologize (profusely) and Connor was really good natured about it. He suggested a lemon drop, which turned out to be quite good. (I thought I took a pic of it, but after checking my photos 🤷🏼‍♀️

My husband brought me here as a surprise for my 30th birthday and I couldn’t have asked for a better night! Our server Austin was attentive and spread great energy through the whole section. We were lucky enough to be seated next to another couple who we had great conversation with. The food was amazing (especially the she crab soup, trout, and espresso martini’s). We can’t wait to comeback!

This as the best celebratory meal I have ever hosted. My husband graduated and wanted a no fuss steakhouse. I made a reservation through OpenTable easily and was able to add in that we were celebrating a milestone. We arrived (note that there is valet available) and the decor for the holidays was beautiful. I had requested outdoor/window seating to enjoy the view of the river and the hostess made sure to review my request and accommodate accordingly. Once seated, Brianna was a lovely waitress - soft spoken and efficient. She was patient with us ordering as it was our first time. Food was delicious and arrived quickly. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were great sizes for sharing as well! I would definitely return for our anniversary!

We attended a wedding reception at Ray's. The setting was very beautiful and private. All service staff were extremely friendly and the food was excellent. There were several preselected meal options available. I had the Ray's salad, 16oz Ribeye (medium). My wife had the seafood trio (lobster tail, salmon, and shrimp). Sides were Mac n cheese and seasonal vegetables.

The restaurant was able to accommodate our party of 12, which was a plus. The dinning room was cozy & the view was beautiful. The food was simple amazing! Great price for the amount of food. The staff was wonderful! My family and I had an amazing time. I have no complaints. I would definitely recommend!

We came here for anniversary and the experience was great! I like that they have many options of oysters and describe how each of them taste like… Appetizers and seafood are great! The only thing that I would pick on is the grill mark on the steak. I order medium rare and some edges are quite burn to a bit bitter. I understand it’s part of the look and plating. However, that should not affect the overall flavor of the steak.. But majority of the steak is still good. We had a great time.
