We thoroughly enjoyed our date night at Ray's. The attention to detail of everyone knowing that it was our anniversary, to the card on the table, and the table location itself with a view of the river. This was a great experience for us and we look forward to returning.

Meal was great unfortunately they say a party right next to us that was very loud. Restaurant wasn’t crowded. They could have separated the parties better so we were not that close together !

The Canoe experience is always top drawer! This surroundings are superb…the restaurant never misses the mark with its entrees and of course it would be blasphemy to not order the salmon (no other quite like it). Thanks to Frank and the staff for making our evening sensational!

Amazing experience for our wedding anniversary! Our waitress was on point, steaks were cooked perfectly, drinks were top notch, and if you can save enough room the dessert is worth it! We’ll be back again after we can save up for a year to afford it lol.
