I picked this randomly after looking at reviews. It met all the reviews and expectations as I’m an Italian food snob. Everything was perfect and cooked to perfection. Service was also great and timely. Will definitely go again on my next visit Carol from Toronto.

The Raya experience begins and ends with valet parking. Everyone from valet, reception and food server Javier were friendly and amazing. Long time Raya patron and will continue to invest my time at Raya. One small concern, the agua chile was more of a seafood cocktail, is not agua chile by any means therefore was not what I expected. Overall experience was amazing. Thank you so much for all you do.
