Breakfast buffet was good with lot of selections but my Chicken Burrito stole the show. It was so good, that she wished she also ordered the burrito instead of the breakfast.

Not only was I thankful that my friend treated me to a beautiful and delicious lunch, but also I'm just so grateful for the views, service and overall good vibes. Hunter was our server and was incredible. He was helpful and attentive. As far as the food, we started with the soft pretzel and unfortunately it wasn't that soft. It actually seemed a little stale. However, the rest of our meal was 10/10! I got the chicken club, while my friend got the pastrami. Both sandwiches were so delicious and bursting with flavor! I also love that they have zero proof options on the menu. That's always a plus for me. Hunter ended the meal with a complimentary birthday treat and WOW...the chocolate cake was a small slice of pure bliss. I highly recommend it! Lastly, they even have complimentary valet. I will be coming back to Club 19 very soon to try more of the menu!

What started out as a great meal, turned into the most horrific weekend I've had in many years…read more Let's start out with service, because it was great. Attentive. Fast. On the dot. No problems. Food "was" delicious. Pricey, but you're at the Waldorf Astoria... Then I get home. And I had projectile (redacted) all evening from the time I got home, until about 11pm. I couldn't even hold down water. I was so dehydrated, I would chuck water + liquid IV, and 30 minutes later, I would be praying to the porcelain god. In all my years of life, I don't think this has ever happened (minus infant-hood) I abruptly woke up by (redacted) myself in bed. TMI, I know, but I just need to get across the severity of this stomach bug. The only other thing I ate this day was a bag of sour cream and onion chips my friend got on the course with his hotdog. So that leaves this. I know this is not common here, but I had to be honest with my experience. Other people got burgers and they were fine, so it's hard to pinpoint what exactly it was. I did have a side of Mayo. So maybe? It's now Monday night and my fever has dropped from 101.8 to 99.1. Overall it's hard to say I would ever come back considering the price to food... But they did have a nice view!

Good spot with beautiful ocean views, located below Ritz Carlton and slightly above the beach…read more My wife and I went with a tuna poke bowl each and we ordered chicken tenders with fries for our kids. The poke bowl tasted great, served on the bed of steamed rice and some greens, topped with chunks of fresh tuna, fresh slices of very ripe avocado and all of it topped with tangy, savory sauce resembling a light spicy mayo. Very yummy! My kids' chicken tenders and fries were solid as well. The tenders were crispy on the outside and incredibly tender and juicy on the inside. The fries were golden brown, crispy and tasted just right. The spot is outside seating only and pretty much all tables are ocean-view. The customer service was very friendly and efficient. Will definitely come back to this place again to try some other items.

For me, though, everything felt a bit oversized, and I would've happily traded some of the volume for slightly higher‑quality ingredients. Nothing was bad, just more about quantity than refinement. If you're looking for a hearty, no‑nonsense breakfast that will keep you full for hours, this is your spot. If you lean toward smaller portions and ingredient‑forward dishes, it may not be your first choice. I gave it a 3 vs a 4 because the pancakes were doughy on the inside

I've had two separate experiences at Raya this year, and both were unacceptable -- which is…read moredisappointing because the rest of the property has consistently been excellent. Kahani, the club lounge, and the Marketplace all delivered exactly what you expect from a hotel at this level: attentive, well-trained staff, seamless service, and a clear understanding of hospitality standards. That's why I've never focused on smaller issues before -- they didn't outweigh the overall quality of the stay. Unfortunately, Raya has now been the exception twice. The first time, back in January, the food quality wasn't on point-I ordered the blackened tuna tacos and they were completely inedible. I didn't complain or send them back -- I simply left it at that. Today was service from one particular server Taylor. I had just come down from the club lounge and remembered that I had a complimentary voucher given at check-in, which didn't specify what it covered on it. I first asked at the lobby bar and no one was able to provide a clear answer, so I went next door to Raya and asked again before ordering. The hostess told me I could choose anything and even recommended the skirt steak. She was kind and friendly. Taylor took my order, and I reasonably assumed there had been communication between staff. So I spent some time ordering and waiting and when my food arrived since I asked for a to go order, I grabbed the bag, tipped, and left. Then Taylor ran after me at the hotel entrance asking how I planned to pay -- in front of other guests. It was an extremely uncomfortable and bizarre situation. I didn't realize what has happened I was just handed the bill and I put my room number and name down. I was then told the voucher only covered guacamole, which directly contradicted what I had been told prior to ordering. As a result, I wasted approximately 40 minutes of my time, I was simply trying to head to the beach before departing, and instead found myself dealing with a situation that should have been handled internally and discreetly. When I handed the food back and said I did not want it, the response was "ok, I'll toss it," followed by no acknowledgment, no apology, and no effort to resolve the situation. At this point, this is no longer an isolated incident. For a restaurant positioned as fine dining, the lack of internal communication, consistency, and basic guest handling is surprising -- especially when every other outlet on the property demonstrates a significantly higher standard. Raya was the only part of the experience that felt misaligned with the rest of the hotel -- and unfortunately, it's the last impression I'm leaving with.

I wish I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars because it was truly a great experience. The…read morerestaurant is based on a Hawaiian/ filipino fusion and everything down to their classic dishes has a flare to it. My favorite part of the dishes had to be the garlic fried rice- it was perfectly crispy, the flavor was on point and not too salty + the rice was cooked just right. I love a savory breakfast and Breezy delivered with the Longganisa breakfast bowl. I would definitely add the vinegar although I normally don't add it to my breakfast it adds a nice tangy touch. They do get very busy and don't take reservations so I would recommend you get there early or put your name down + occupy a few hours because it can take a while to get a table. They do have to go coffee which is nice if you are looking for a quick latte + pastry. There is very limited seating, only two bathrooms so the line can get pretty long and sometimes the bar seating is assigned not first come first serve. My friends and I loved this place so much we went back the next day prior to our road trip!

After about 30 min we asked the hostess if we were able to let us order coffee while we waited for our table, the answer was yes, absolutely. Baristas never gave us a look of acknowledgment that we were waiting at the register to order (for about 6-7 min), we ended up getting a text for our table before she even looked up at us. The coffees were ok. Not strong, barely a coffee taste, light flavor from toppings. Seemed watered down. We ordered Cali lattes, BBL, coco niu. My niece enjoyed her matcha though, said it was good tho could have had more of a matcha taste. There was variety in menu so we expected them to be pretty good. It's not a coffee shop, so no big deal but I would have probably been better off getting a regular drip coffee. Food was ok. Ribeye bowl was probably the best ribeye was perfectly seasoned, very flavorful. The Filipino inspired dishes were ok, not very authentic and served with spinach... didn't quite go with the adobo bowl in my opinion. Longanisa was standard, garlic rice ok. All the sweet dishes were good - ube French toast and one pancakes. I think the American style items and sweets are safe, but the Filipino/hawaiian/islander inspired dishes were a bit weak. I was really excited for this place, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me.

Tasted like bad flour gravy with little to no potatoes or clams. Don't order this. My Cesar salad came with chicken, anchovies, croutons, and like 4 cherry tomatoes. The anchovies were whole and there were 3. I like that they asked if I wanted them (I did) but I wish they were chopped up instead of whole. The cheese on the salad was hard like it had been sitting out and the chicken seemed like it was some cheap breast defrosted. They could have grilled the chicken, had fresh black pepper to make it a lot better. The French fries on my son's plate were honestly sad looking. Cold and soggy. My husband ordered fish tacos and chili and admitted he's had better meals in his life. We drove pretty far to try this place and honestly wish we went next door for better food. Service was ok, our soups came out before we got our drinks, which I didn't like. The food is super overpriced for the quality. The best part was the view.... Hence the second star. I won't go back.
