I have been coming here for years and I have always loved what was on the menu as well as the location and the service. However the last time I visited Ray's was exceptional. The service was great throughout the night and when my keys were locked in my car by the valet (downside of the night) the bar tenders were super friendly and I got drinks and dessert on the house. I highly recommend the bartender Ben K, he was very friendly and made great drinks, and he was just fun to talk to. Overall, great visit, although the valet got no tip.

I don't normally write these but after reading all the recent crappy reviews I felt that I should. I hadn't been here for about a year so when I was planning a special birthday dinner and read all the recent reviews - I was a little nervous about going again. Luckily, all that crap was unfounded. From my experience, nothing has changed. The atmosphere was still great and the service was attentive and friendly. The steak lived up to my memories - still the best tasting and most perfectly cook piece of meat I've ever had in a restaurant. The wine, the mashed potatoes, the bread & dips - all divine! It was a perfect evening and I'm so glad that I didn't let those reviews sway me. I can't wait to go back and I'll continue to recommend this place to everyone I know!
Pros: Fabulous food
Cons: None that I can think of

Okay, I guess it was my lucky day when I went because: A. I didn't see one g**dam* crockroach. However I am vegan, and a crockroach wouldn't keep me from some fine vegan Thai food, since good, really good vegan food in restaurants if hard to come by.
B. I did not get the True Religion Jeans Server or the Pony Tail Stink-Eye Server. How many servers can this small place have. I only saw one, and she was awesome, smiled alot, helped me when I spilled ice water all over myself after someone buttknocked my table.
C. I only waited about 8 minutes. In retrospect, I would've easily waited 16 minutes. The heavy wooden WOODEN! menus were pretty awesome.
So, the food came in about 3.3456 minutes, since they took my order before I even was seated. I had Tofu in Green Curry. F*cking delicious. really delicious. Huge portion. I ate every last bit and if I wasn't with my friend I would've ordered another and sat there contentedly for half hour nibbling on it. Still no ro*ches ('case you didn't know, citysearch doesn't let you say r*aches. Though there was some questionable food substance in a white industrial bucket three inches from my knees. In fact, I want to go again right now.
Pros: Inexpensive, delicious, upbeat, crazy music!

My husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary here and I just want to do it all over again, and again! We had the Chef's tasting menu with seven courses:
1-Starting with oysters on the half shell. Now I am not usually into oysters- it's a texture thing- but these were delicious! half of them had a pink grapefruit compote and the other half had a pickled cucumber salad which was my fave.
2-Next was foie gras two ways, one in a smooth and flavorful pate form, the other seared to perfection-both atop crisp Brioche.
3-Then Chilled Vichyssoise, a potato and leek version that was smooth and delicious. The perfect palate cleanser!
4-Next was the Alaskan Halibut with controne Beans heirloom tomatoes and a basil based sauce. It was again a delightful dish.
5-Then came the tenderloin of Beef with demi glace, truffle butter, and silky mashed potatoes. This was our favorite course of all! The tenderloin was cooked perfectly rare/medium rare and melted on your tongue. The truffle butter and the handmade demi glace were perfection, and the potatoes were beaten so silky smooth...Chez Shea has created the ultimate meat and potatoes dish!
6-Next came a cheese trio with an exquisite goat Roquefort bleu cheese (my fave!), a Delice de Bourgogne which was creamy and very strong, then Petit Basque. Served with an apricot compote to cleanse the palate.
7-Finally was dessert which was a light and creamy panna cotta with fresh berries. Perfect for summer, very light and refreshing.
The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, the atmosphere romantic and comfortable, and the food an adventure for the senses.
Pros: AMAZING food, attentive staff, wine list, and more
Cons: pricey!

I particularly recommend the omokase, or chef's choice. It consists of 6-10 courses of whatever the chef has planned. If you like surprises and trying new things this is the way to go. It has been a while, but last time I was there it cost approximately $100 per person, which was quite reasonable for the meal we had.
Two notes: (1) definitely make reservations, it is a popular place and (2) there are two omokase menus, the special pre-order one and the regular one. I have only had the regular one, so that is what I am reviewing.
