Baja Fish Tacos very juicy and not dry, everything was breaking apart quickly. My spice tolerance isn 't good and I don 't like how it wasn 't listed on themenu with a red chili pepper sign. If a food item is going to have red pepper flakes all over the tacos, at least give a warningto customers who don 't like spice. The Fish was good, the cabbage was messy and I couldn 't enjoy holding the tacos. Fish nchips not worth it for how little amount it was. The quality was okay, but two pieces of Fish and more potatoes doesn 't makethe meal what it is. French Fries crisp and tasted good Service was okay. For a quiet afternoon, service could have beenbetter to check on us. We didn 't need to stay for dessert knowing how lunch already was going at Raymond 's. All forms ofpayment are accepted, parking is available anywhere around town. Presentation inside Raymond 's gives you a nostalgic feel ofold school New York City diners. Food and prices don 't match up.

The restaurant does get busy forlunch and even busier in the evenings. They also feature outdoor seating. The food is good, good stop for a quick bite.Excellent grilled cheese sandwiches. I was really looking forward to the Blueberry Pie but was disappointed that they sold outof them (which I found strange as it was the middle of lunch . Definitely poor planning on a popular item. I had the berrycobbler which was good but served extremely hot. The service of our waitress (Teresa O. was great (she had someoneshadowing/training and she checked her tables often. However the service of the runner was a aloof needs hospitalitytraining. One area of improvement would be attention to detail (cleanliness as the space could be much cleaner (banquette hadcrumbs in the seat, under the banquette were French fries and paper, there was food smeared in the sugar caddy and our b&bplates could have been cleaner also . If these areas are addressed it would make up for a lackluster experience. It had beensome time before this past Sunday since I was last here, unfortunately this will be my last impression.

The presentation of the food was good but the flavor was a little bland. The steak and eggs were good butthe steak definitely needed a harder sear and a crust. The burrito bowl $17) was much smaller than expected. The huevosrancheros had a nice presentation but was also very little food. It was mostly sauces on a tortilla. The kids pancake was yummybut would?ve been nice to have at least a little bit of jam or fruit or anything for a nicer presentation. The house potatoesalso needed some seasoning or salt.

Turkey club was nearly impossible to eat. 2 halves about 2 inches wide and nearly 5 inches high.....doesn't work. Very disappointing for the amount of money.
