Excellent lunch. Nice setting and server Anandkumar was friendly and attentive. We wanted a lite lunch so we had their pimento fritters and salads, all which were delicious. The steakhouse and wedge were fantastic, nicely balanced flavors and well dressed. The server also learned that we were recently engaged and brought us some chocolate mousse which was amazing. Overall, a great dining experience.

Their lunchtime tomato soup and turkey club is phenomenal! The biscuits are always a hit, and the service is unbeatable. It's my go-to spot to impress visitors and Atlantans alike.

    We had such a great experience at Ray’s in the City. Everything from the food to the service felt upscale and special without being stuffy. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely personable. He took the time to talk with us, asked what brought us in, and even took a picture for our group. We were celebrating my friend’s birthday, and she received a complimentary chocolate raspberry mousse dessert, which was absolutely delicious. I had the seared diver scallop risotto with Parmesan-Reggiano, kale, and lemon beurre blanc, and it was amazing. The scallops were cooked perfectly, the risotto was creamy and flavorful, and everything on the plate worked so well together. The service was excellent, the food was memorable, and the whole experience really felt like fine dining. I would definitely return.
