My family of four went to Ray's Cafe for Thanksgiving dinner because I didn't feel like cooking a turkey for just me, my husband and my two little ones. Ray's Cafe has a well-reknowned Thanksgiving buffet which always sells out. So we made the reservations well in advance and off we went. The parking lot was extremely crowded and we immediately opted for the free valet parking. That came in really handy. We had to wait several minutes for our table and the kids were restless. They gave us a great table at the window, with a view of Lake Union. The waitress took forever to come and take our drink order. It happened sometime during my turn at the buffet (my husband had gone first and I went second). Overall, the waitress was very slow, not even checking back to see if we needed refills on our drinks. I ended up asking the busboy for more Diet Coke. The buffet was good. In addition to turkey and prime rib, they had lots of fresh shrimp and tuna sashimi. The desserts were two-bite size and very good. I do wish they had a buffet offering for the kids, such as chicken strips or grilled cheese sandwiches. The kids were stuck eating the adult food. My son doesn't operate that way so I had brought him a Lunchables to eat (although we still had to pay for his buffet meal).
