I am old enough to remember the classic seafood restaurant in the Shilshole/Golden Gardens area in Ballard. The Great Windjammer and recently closed Anthony’s. The survivor is Ray’s. Great location, but now somewhat off the beaten path for all but locals. Summertime is the best...More

Ray's has that old fashioned supper club feel with warm surroundings, delicious comfort food, great drinks and a cosy atmosphere. Service was excellent. Didn't see the view as it was dark, but I imagine it's great. Would recommend.

Many thanks to the staff at Ray’s who worked Christmas and made us feel truly at home. Service was outstanding. Each of our meals was cooked to perfection. Dessert was divine. I ate every morsel with delight. From the seared halibut, the grilled salmon, the...More

It's not really that type of restaurant. Diners here expect a peaceful romantic atmosphere plus a lovely view, particularly at this price point. Families could possibly be seated in a secluded noisy kid friendly area.
