Ray's Cafe is the ideal spot to enjoy a picturesque view of Puget Sound while sipping on a local microbrew and indulging in a bowl of fresh clams. The atmosphere is casual and vibrant, offering a diverse menu of top-notch seafood dishes. Open for lunch and dinner daily, the Cafe is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a meal. Our outdoor deck is the best place to soak up the sun on a beautiful summer day. The new heated, covered patio area allows for comfortable outdoor dining even on Seattle's gloomiest days. As the weather changes, cozy up near one of our two stone fireplaces and forget about the cold outside.

Ray's offers a mixed dining experience, with some customers praising the excellent service and delicious food such as seafood salad, scallops, and butternut squash ravioli. However, other diners were disappointed with dry halibut, over-boiled oysters, and sharp gum in the meal. The restaurant ambiance varied, with some guests enjoying a cozy outdoor setting with blankets while others found the surroundings cold and dirty. Despite the noise levels and occasional service mishaps, many guests still plan to return to Ray's for the great food and waterfront dining experience. Additionally, Ray's received praise for being open on Christmas Day and providing a warm, comforting atmosphere for holiday dining.
