   Raya has an outstanding view, good service and excellent food. It’s not inexpensive but everything was done of high quality.

   Excellent experience! Margaritas superb. Had stone fruit and burrata salad, tuna tacos and seafood enchiladas. All were outstanding. Somehow my earring slipped out of my ear. After a search, I located our server, Georgina, who had found it. What a relief. Thank you. Excellent setting with views of the ocean and beach.

   At the table next to us, the couple had a dog sitting in the chair at the table. They were hand feeding the dog at the table. Pretty gross and disappointing to watch while we spent $1,400 for dinner at your restaurant. By the way, this dog was not a service dog so you can’t use that excuse.

   We were married at the Ritz Carlton in 1990 and we were there to celebrate our 34th anniversary. We received many congratulations and good wishes from the staff as we were seated at a lovely ocean view table. Our server did an excellent job of explaining the various menu options and made some recommendations at our request. The service was cordial and professional and we were encouraged to relax and enjoy our dining experience, while they made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and attractively presented. We had been to Raya several times before to celebrate birthdays and our anniversary and both the food and the serving staff make it a very enjoyable experience.

   You forget how spectacular the view is until you walk in and then...breathtaking. It's arrived to a very nice band, just the right volume, playing a song I love. The brunch menu was exactly what one would expect from a Ritz Carlton and it was arguably idyllic. We had one not inconsequential hiccup but it was handled the way one expects at a Ritz Carlton property and for this, I truly cannot complain. Can't wait to go back again.
