    I apologize for not remembering the name of our server. Hopefully you can look this up under our reservation. But that gentleman, overheard me discussing my birthday and the birthday of my daughter. He brought us free dessert, wished me a happy birthday, knowing my daughter was not at the dinner with us, and wish both of us a wonderful birthday and a happy life. He was wonderful.

    We dine at Rays in the city anytime we’re in town for a convention. The food and service are always wonderful. Their seafood is the best, IMO. Calamari is to die for and although they charge for the bread basket now, you must have it. So good!

    Our waiter Grey was wonderful and very attentive. The bacon wrapped shrimp were delicious and the fried green tomatoes excellent and delicious without all the extra stuff on top. Drinks fantastic. Food was good a few hits and a few misses. Overall great spot. Oh and the live band great touch once the mics were fixed. We would visit them again.

    Love coming here. Great service and great food. Only thing different about this time was they sat us at a small table and it felt like we were eating with the table next to us. So it wasn’t so intimate as our last experiences were.
