After attending a group lunch with my subdivision, I decided to try Raymes for dinner. I was a little apprehensive since some reviews were not the best. My experience was great. Service was excellent. Multiple restaurant staff were very friendly, and the food was very good. I enjoyed the black bean soup which I also had during the lunch. My wife tried the French Onion soup which she said was very good also. I asked the waitress to recommend a house specialty. She provided a few choices including the pot roast which I ordered. The pot roast came with mashed potatoes, cut carrots, and peas all covered in a very good pot roast gravy. I would recommend. My wife had the fried chicken which she said was very good. I tasted her chicken which I will have during a future visit. I look forward to returning to try many of the other available entrées. read more

We were headed to a whiskey place down the way and we saw this one on the corner. It looked fancy so we gave it a shot. The entire visit was mediocre at best. The service from the male bartender was mediocre. The drinks were mediocre, the ambiance felt like an outdated bonefish grill. The food was mediocre. I'd pass on head around the corner. read more

This was the worst dining experience I've ever had 6.19.26. I came back here because about six months ago I had a great experience with good service and good food. I was excited to take my son here tonight, I just left and wasn't able to eat any dinner. The first thing that I noticed was the salt shaker was sticky and greasy with gunk all at the top and I asked for it to be exchanged. Just disgusting! I ordered prime rib, medium rare and it tasted terrible! It was definitely done medium and well done on the edges. I told the waiter I didn't like it and he asked me if I wanted something else. I asked him if the shrimp soup had gluten in it and he said yes. So then I told him I'll just take the escargot because it's getting late and I don't want to wait for another steak to be cooked as my son was almost done eating. Service was absolutely terrible! We hardly saw our waiter. He was not attentive. He wasn't apologetic and it seemed from my opinion that he was a bus boy filling in. ( sadly, the manager said he is a regular server) He gave us our dessert menus and filled our cups with water, but never took my son's desert order. We waited and waited. We couldn't even see him within eye shot for a good amount of time. MIA I went up to the front to request the manager. I spoke to a female manager, who was more than rude. Just nasty ( now that I scroll back there are other reviews referencing rude wait staff and a nasty manager) I kindly told her the experience I had and how awful it was and how I will not be back and I'm going to leave a review. I didn't yell but thoroughly explained the situation. I told her what happened and that I still have not eaten any dinner and My son had finished....His dessert order still had not been taken, and I have never received my escargot. I proceeded to ask her how long escargot takes. She said typically 20 minutes. Then she literally said to me in a loud voice. "well I was going to comp your dinner, but since you're gonna leave me a SHITTY review anyway I'm not going to do that". The first thing I told her was "I never asked you to comp anything for me" then she said she could've charged me for the steak. Lol charge me for the steak that they cooked incorrectly and they tasted terrible and they are already took back?? Excuse me? How can you have a Manager that curses at customers?? For the record, I never cursed at her. She must just have a potty mouth. I then relayed to her what I expect from a manager: to get another server or somebody to help us right away because we're still waiting. The manager had to go looking for the waiter about five minutes later she comes to my table with the waiter to " fight it out" and she tells me I never ordered escargot! Then the waiter tells me "you told me you didn't want anything else" I said where are you getting this from? I asked you if the soup had gluten in it you said yes so then I told you I'll order the escargot. So, in my opinion the waiter lied in front of the manager and said I never ordered anything! Of course, the manager completely believed the waiter and had no apologies to offer at all. Why would I go looking for the manager to check on my escargot if i never ordered it? Or was the waiter just not listening? or was there a language barrier? I have no idea but the whole experience was awful. If you're thinking about coming here for good food or good service, it's my opinion please just save yourself the trip and the money. After my son was done with his dessert, the waiter actually said "I'm just going to charge you for your meal and dessert" and I'm thinking to myself well what else would you charge me for? You took back my steak and you never brought out the escargot I ordered. One star is too much for this place- I will never be back. My son is a server at an upscale restaurant in Oakbrook and even said he thought the service was terrible and he would never be able to get away with that without getting in trouble at his restaurant. So I left tonight eating nothing but the the side of coleslaw and a sweet potato for dinner. Horrific experience that ruined our dinner. Maybe this is what you get from a family owned establishment that doesn't have to follow corporate rules like so many upscale restaurants do.... I went there once and it was good, but I should've read the bad reviews because they also reflect rude wait staff poor, Service and a nasty manager. Not to mention one review talks about the staff lying that they touched the drink that they wanted to refund on when they never did. I encountered all of those poor experiences tonight. And unfortunately, no one seems to care. Never again. Nope. read more

Excellent service and experience at The Bar. Great variety of cocktails; solid list of wines. Food was: 100%. Quality and care; sincere. Thanks, Raymes! I hope to be back quick ! read more

Raymes Steak & Fish House - Seafood Near Me - Lisle, Illinois

This is a nice, local spot to have to enjoy a cocktail and food that, in my opinion, is a notch above bar food. The service was pleasant and attentive. The ceasar salad that we split was not drenched in dressing which I appreciated and had fresh lettuce. My crab cakes had an overpowering taste of some type of spice and fried a bit too long. My sweet potato fries were also too well done and tasted like frozen and reheated. read more

This is becoming our go to place. The house salad with homemade croutons is served with delicious dressing ~ I think they may also make that. Bread is served with dinner. Ribs are fall off the bone ~ I am decades past fighting a bone for my meat. Filet medallions are always served perfectly cooked. Daily specials are offered with a special drink offer. All the servers are very pleasant. There are many regulars, so I suggest making a reservation if you plan are eating at peak time. Parking can be an issue and we have had to park down the block on the street. They are open for lunch Monday through Friday and Sundays. Dinner only on Saturday. read more

I liked this place. It could be a solid comfort food location. It has been here forever and there's a reason for it. Nothing was over the top great, but nothing disappointed either. If I wanted an OK place to drop in and get reasonable food - this is the spot for me. I had the walleye because I'm a sucker for walleye. I had it broiled and unfortunately, it wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping. But as with everything. It was a-OK. With the walleye I had the sweet potato which was marginally better. Also I went with the soup option and had the spicy black bean soup. I totally get why it is a menu favorite. Probably the highlight of the meal. If you want a low fuss spot, this is for you. read more

Ronnie our server was amazing. Staff was attentive. My father dropped his napkin and a new one was by his side as soon as it hit the floor. The coconut shrimp was great and the shrimp chowder was a great warm-up to the meal. Drinks were large and fantastic. Overall a great supper club feel with decent prices. My kids loved the kids meal meatloaf. Also, get the lemon creme cake, divine! read more

I have been here twice now and while the service and cocktails are great, the food is average at best. I can understand why the senior citizen crowd likes it. The place looks like a supper club, dimly lit, cozy kind of atmosphere. There are dishes like open faced pot roast with mashed potatoes and other "old school" types of dishes. But the quality is not there. The crab stuffed mushrooms we had were over cooked. The French onion soup had a smoky taste to it that did not blend well with the cheese. The wedge salad was decent, while the added filet was just so-so. There are too many other outstanding places in the area that serve much better food for the price. Might be worth some appetizers at the bar as the cocktails are superb (even if my martini did get spilled a bit as it was brought to my table). read more

Fantastic local restaurant!! There's a reason they've been around for decades. Escargot was fantastic. Had the filet, perfectly cooked medium rare. Walleye was great too. Highly recommend read more

Once again this was my pick for my birthday dinner and as usual it was wonderful. Efrain V took excellent care of us, he had a great sense of humor and we enjoyed him and his service. I can't say I know of anywhere else the Baked French Onion soup is so good. I always get the parmesan crusted grouper and as usual it was spot on. The Derby Lemonade is my go to cocktail, so good I got a second one (I wasn't driving). Efrain even brought out a birthday tiramisu for me that we shared, it was delicious too. The place was full and loud in a good way. I'm so glad my favorite place is so popular, people know a good thing when they find it. read more

Thank you too our server Ronnie R. Great service we appreciate it!! We came to our place Raymes for our 29th wedding anniversary today, everything was spectacular as usually!! Ronnie's Customer service was awesome best serve we ever have had!! Food was amazing, delicious in every aspect!!! We started with Blaked clams (which are always the best!! Followed by some amazing soups, (clam chowder, and French onion then hubby and I both had the NY strip which was cooked perfectly and so juicy!! Baked potato, loaded was on point!! I would recommend this place to everyone for a good steak and good food!! Pricy yes but no more then any other great steak place!! read more

As a woman in Illinois, who is proud of my rights and hope to see the best in every business, I have to share a completely disappointing experience with you. This evening, 1-23-26, myself & 2 girlfriends came to this restaurant for appetizers & drinks. We sat at the bar and had exceptional service from the bartender Casey. He was kind, responsive, and quick with drink & food orders. While we were waiting for our food my good girl friend, who is in the medical field, told me that the chainsaw was actually invented to cut the vagina open or the uterus open, to quicken birth procedures, (this is a fact, please look it up.) I made a joke to my 2 friends, in a private conversation, that men are not smart. It was just a joke about this insane fact that I just learned. I had 2 c-sections and almost died during the first one, I feel like I am allowed to make such jokes. A waiter (a man with curly back hair - name not known), not someone working the bar or our bartender, walked over to us and proceeded to ask what we were talking about. I said, omg, did you know the chainsaw was actually invented for c-sections? As a mom who has had 2 c-sections, I was just shocked at the information. This man, once again, not our bartender, or in fact any bartender, just a waiter from the restaurant told me to 'tone it down.' Completely taken aback with such aggression out of nowhere, I said, okay, we'll be quiet somewhere else. I spoke to our shocked, and frankly embarrassed bartender, to cancel our food order and explained that we would be leaving. Then I pointed out that my medical specialist girlfriend had 2 sips of her drink, and said we would like a refund for that as well. The 'waiter' said okay. Casey tried to apologize and ask us to stay, which we declined in haste, we all were completely mortified and bewildered by how we were just spoke to. Then the 'waiter' handed us the bill, with my friend's unused drink on the bill. I said, she didn't have any of it, we need a refund. When I tried to show the full drink to the bartender, the 'waiter' said, 'I threw it away, because you shoved it at me.' Completely untrue, I didn't even touch the glass. And then he shouted at me that I was out of line for saying 'there's no more smart men.' This was completely and utterly shocking as we were having a completely private conversation between friends. I had no reason to believe that anyone else was listening to us, let alone someone who should not have even been behind the bar. I have absolutely NO IDEA why this dining room waiter was even behind the bar, listening to our private conversation, which we were all teasing and joking. And I responded quite angrily, 'as a man, you don't get to tell me to shut the eff up.' Then the woman bartender, possible manger proceeded to say we were ruining the bar atmosphere, which I stopped talking, paid our tab, & tipped our bartender, Casey, quite handsomely. And frankly, we cannot even be mad at the 'manager', because the waiter was so aggressive & quiet, she probably thought our outburst was out of nowhere. As we were leaving, I heard a guest say, 'oh, they must be liberals' as the waiter laughed heartily as he continued to stand behind the bar. Again, I ask, why was he even behind the bar? I am actually a second generation Raymes customer, my parents have been taking me here for years. In fact, I am the reason my friends and I were there, I spoke so highly of the establishment. This was my 2 friends' first time here, which will obviously be their last, not to mention every single person they will be speaking to about this. This completely unprovoked attack was absolutely sickening. I truly have no idea why in the world the waiter decided to walk over to 'teach us a lesson' after eavesdropping on our private conversation. We were just joking amongst ourselves as moms on a night out. This complete disrespect to women was egregious and unnecessary. What is even better, I have seen this waiter multiple times while eating in the dining room with my parents. I will be telling them about this matter, as well as anyone else I know who may darken your doorstep. Do with this information as you like, but as long as this person still works there, I will be on a personal mission to boycott your establishment. Respond however you may like, but this was disgusting and unforgivable. Words cannot express how angry I am. I have loved your restaurant for years, but this behavior is unacceptable and I will be spreading the message everywhere. read more

We went to Raymes on a Sunday at noon. Nobody in the restaurant. I read on Yelp mixed reviews. Our friends came once and liked it. The restaurant atmosphere is nice, clean, well lite, the staff are nice and we were taken care of quickly. 3 of us ordered Walleye and my husband ordered a patty melt. He loved his food not too greasy and he said it tasted great. I ordered the walleye broiled with broccoli. It was bland it looked good, perhaps I should have ordered it differently but it lacked flavor. I also got the onion soup which tasted watery with a glob on mozzarella floating on the top. I would skip that. We had carrot cake for dessert and it tasted fine. I don't know about this place. It was filling up as we left but I would probably skip this place next time. read more

Ambiance is perfection! Warm and cozy and yells of an old fashioned steakhouse. Our server Ronnie was the best waiter/server we've had in years. Attentive and knowledgeable, very proud of the restaurant Food is special, wide spectrum of options All are time proven and superb read more

Food-5/5!! Service- 2/5. We were seated promptly for our reservations at 6:30pm. 2 of the 7 were running late so the waitress filled our drink orders. We had to ask for our bread at 7pm after the 2 last guests arrived. 30 minutes of no check-ins- no "would like to order an appetizer while you wait." Only after they arrived the waitress returned to ask if we wanted an appetizer (which we did). After our appetizer arrived we waited to place our order for our dinner...we had already finished our appetizer before placing our dinner order. The only time she was prompt was following dessert to deliver the check. We will return another time for the food but would ask for a different waitress. We were one of the last tables to leave the dining room area due to the significant time for the meal. read more

Rayme's is the pleasant combination of excellent food, a nice atmosphere, and wonderful service. Since they "re-opened" in August 2014, my bride and i have been there 100's of times. They're consistent! Once I gad a less than wonderful meal there (it's no longer on the menu), and a couple of times the service was less than stellar (law of averages), and a couple tines they ran out of Turkey on Thanksgiving (they no longer open on holidays). But, we know their menu by heart, and there's not a bad option on it. Things to look for: * Their big Ribeye. My favorite. * Gary's famous Chicken pot pie. * Their "King" Pork Chop. Truly excellent. * Their Smoked Salmon appetizer. Specially flown-in by NASA from Europa (Jupiter's moon). Better than any other Smoked Salmon you'll ever have. But, literally, everything else on the menu is noteworthy in its own right. They're accommodating, friendly, and want you to have a Fine meal. Worth the trip! Their King Cocktails (Martinis for me, usually) are about the size of the Gulf of Mexico. Imbibe carefully! read more

Food is excellent. Service is excellent. Pricing is fair. I plan on going back. Value is very good. The demo of the patrons tilts older. The seating is a little close to other tables. It seems a little loud on weekend nights, On 2 separate visits, I had the perch (a special) and the chefs special. Both were excellent. Others in my dining party had chicken and steak dishes. Everyone liked their food. read more

The best pork chop out there. Very good filets. All around a very good steak house. Very good portions and at a very reasonable price for what you get. I feel the top Gibsons and The Capital grill. Sitting at the bar is also a very good spot to eat, drink and unwind. The service has always been very good also. The dessert menu needs a little adjustment regarding more items...And it is in very good shape and always clean. It is not over the top atmosphere as far as decor...Always worth the trip for us. read more

Repulsive dried-out overcooked food, topped off with MIA server and the nastiest manager I've ever encountered. Atmosphere is hostile, and the ribs were the worst. Instead of fixing anything, they just make the situation worse. Lisle's memorable stinker! read more

Mediocrity as far as the food , the first hostess that came over to our table was extremely rude then a secondary waitress that was assigned to our table did a fine job. Ambiance was just okay. Not impressed for a Valentine's Day dinner. Nothing special read more

Sad, salty and slow. Pork roast too salty to even eat. Beef pot roast-eat the beef but throw everything else away. Never order the Cole slaw, taste dirty, yet not salted. Server did not see they were spilling ranch dressing like a bread crumb trail. Poured some on the table too and never cleaned it. Omg go to Culver's ...that is sad. Wish we went to Granite City next time. read more

I've been coming here for years and have had many great meals here but tonight was a disappointment. The roast pork ive had several times before was a generous portion of pork loin cooked to perfection with delicious sauerkraut and fluffy bread dumplings. Tonight iI was served 4 small pieces of overcooked pork tenderloin and anemic bread dumplings. Kraut was still good. While they were willing to take the dish off the bill they made a point of recharging us for my soup which felt VERY petty to me. We won't be back for awhile because of this and it makes me sad aince we've been loyal customers for over a decade. read more

Would not give money to a restaurant that employs rude and sexist wait staff. The food is bland too, many other better options nearby.

I have been a Rayme's fan for many years. I love everything about it. The supper club atmosphere, the king-size cocktails, the service and the great food. The owners, Gary and Jerri, are wonderful and enjoy interacting with the customers. The bar area is a good place to have a meal and watch whatever games are in season. Favorites: Parm-crusted filet mignon; grouper; pot roast. All feel-good entrees prepared just right. read more

The service, menu and ambience is fantastic, we have been going there for over 20 years. I am not sure who Katie S from Naperville is BUT if you and your friends want to talk about chainsaws and viginas maybe you should take this somewhere else because WE as customers do not want to listen to this. Remember you are close to other tables and WE CAN HEAR YOU. read more

Raymes is a staple for us. The service is amazing, food consistently great and the vibe is inviting and welcoming. Love it here

My sister and I went to this restaurant to eat a steak dinner. After waiting 20 minutes at the bar we still had no drinks. The bar tender waited on all the "regulars" and still did not acknowledge us. I called to her and asked for drinks. She said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you (we where seated in the middle of the bar). You should have yelled get my attention." No one else had to yell???? We left and had a wonderful meal at Wildfire. Date:12/23/25 Time: 5pm. read more

I had a business lunch here. When I entered the restaurant, I was nicely greeted by a gentleman named Nick (who was great throughout the entire dining experience). I told him my colleagues and I had a lunch meeting for 7 people but did not believe a reservation had been made (our client told us specifically that a reservation was not needed for a Wednesday afternoon lunch as they frequent this restaurant often). Enter a woman named Lisa. Lisa overheard Nick and I chatting and immediately told me, "We have a party of 30, and only 2 servers, so service will be slow." That is not my problem as a patron trying to eat here and give business. She then proceeded to hand me the business cards that were on the host stand and handed it to me and said, Make a reservation next time. No greeting, no hello, nothing. I got to the restaurant at 11:15, lunch was at 12:00. I then took a seat by the bar, upon which Lisa came over to me and asked me to "move, this is where my regulars come in and sit" - ok Lisa. So I am new to this restaurant, and already treated like crap twice now. I move to the middle of the bar. My 2 colleagues arrive at about 11:50. Upon seeing my 2 colleagues standing behind me at the bar seat, Lisa comes over yet again to say, "Hey, can you go to your table now, I need these bar seats." Mind you, when I moved to the middle of the bar, I continuously overheard Lisa talking about, "can you believe a table of 7 without a reservation, the nerve" specifically speaking about my party - and the glaring looks I got from her as I sat at our table waiting for our clients were very off-putting. When I sat at the bar, she asked what I wanted to drink, I said nothing. She then proceeded to roll her eyes at me, and said something under her breath to the gentleman at the side of the bar as if I did not notice it. The experience was so poor, and I will never go back to give them business. Imagine, a 7-top business lunch, being given a hard time because we didn't make a reservation on a Wednesday afternoon at 12:00, and her acting like a total child and immature...Nick was outstanding though. Compliments to him. read more

The food was excellent! We had crab stuffed mushrooms, the filet and Walleye . The service was prompt and friendly. Will definitely be back again! read more

Bit noisy on a Saturday night, but the food was great. I had the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and corn (look, it's Illinois!) and I have zero complaints. The gravy was fantastic. Also had the French onion soup, which I would absolutely order again. Although I was stuffed, I also tried the pumpkin cheesecake. Good stuff. I don't know if they have an actual children's menu, but my four-year-old niece was given chicken strips, by which I mean a platter of chicken strips, steak fries, bread, applesauce, coleslaw, and a pickle. She ate the pickle and half a chicken strip, then crawled under the table. She came back out later for a few bites of ice cream. read more

Service and value is top drawer. I would highly recommend their large pork chops and calamari.

We have been to Raymes for dinner before and thought it was very nice. Lunch at Raymes today was HORRID - including dryed-up pot roast and desiccated ribs. The server was scarce to missing in action, and it was very slow every step of the way. Water was good, and the plain salad was good. Perhaps the server had too many tables. Our lunches wouldn't pass muster for left overs, although my german shepherd dog would have loved it! Almost forgot, the baked potato was room temperature... they replaced it with another that was pretty good. They refused to swap or fix my entree - full slab of ribs . The part I will remember most is the lecture I got from the ill-mannered manager. She was rude and condescending. We had guests with and the whole experience was embarassing. read more

We ordered the Gary Special and a New York Strip both we excellent, the side salad with garlic dressing was excellent & so was the Spicy Black Bean soup all in all a great dinning experience read more

We had a lovely dinner for 5 of us The cocktails were on point and they pour heavy. However, very slow bar. Appetizers, we got calamari and shrimp cocktail. They were okay. Calamari a little over done so not as tender as they could be. The shrimp were okay but the cocktail sauce was like tomato paste with no flavor. No horseradish!?! French onion soup was really salty. 3 orders are of the boneless ribeye with twice baked potato and ceasar salad. The meat was cooked to order but very fatty with quite a lot of gristle to cut off. New York strip with twice baked potato. Was cooked to order and was good. The beef medallions with Brussels doroutsb were good and cooked well. Not terrible not wow. I'd go again if I was in the area and someone wanted to go. There were a lot of cute restaurants right in the area to check out. read more

I have lived in the lisle area for the past 7 years and have driven past this restaurant all those years. Yesterday I decided to stop by for dinner with a friend and our overall experience was great. We were greeted immediately upon our arrival and seated immediately which I always appreciate. We were given menus right away - along with bread and ice cold waters. The waitress helping us was extremely sweet and recommended the top favs for all of our three courses. We ordered: Calamari Raymes Burger w/ fries Filet Mignon 8 oz w/ Caesar salad Chocolate Lava Cake Also the cocktails are to die for! The food was a 8/10 rating wise but the customer service provided was a 10/10 because - We stayed 30 plus minutes past closing time and the staff accommodated and made sure we were not rushed :) Definitely recommend! read more

This has been a family tradition dining experience for us for decades. Tonight was such a disappointment. My rosemary chicken was so overcooked it looked destroyed and shriveled on my plate. The asparagus was disgusting. I have no idea what the kitchen did to it, but I had to spit it out. So gross. Another entree, chicken cordon bleu, came already cut open. The juices and butter were gone. So dry, our dining companion could not even eat it. The ribs were excellent and the drinks were tasty. Service was good. Owner/chef needs some actual training. read more

Wow. Our family had a reservation for five with family that we hadn't seen in several years that came up to Lisle (from another state) just to see us and catch up with our 90 year old Mom. We had a reservation at 6 PM. We arrived promptly. At 7:30 PM we were asked if we were done and leaving. We were told they had a reservation for 14 and they needed our table. Not once did they offer a solution to put us at a different table so they could use ours. They just basically said we're not technically asking you to leave, but we need your table. My 90-year-old mom was embarrassed and mortified -we hadn't seen our family and they came up special to this restaurant to be with us and spend some time together. It's not like we were sitting for many hours just doing nothing and not eating or drinking. We had literally just finished eating. They had just taken away our plates, brought us the check and then asked if we were leaving. It was not our problem they could not accommodate their large reservation. We live in Lisle and we are embarrassed that we even recommended this place for us all to go. The owner wasn't much help either. He said I'm pretty sure they didn't ask you to leave and I said they did -and not only once they asked us twice. We will never return. And all of us that live locally will make sure we tell people not to go to this establishment- horrible service horrible treatment. How embarrassing that we are the ones that live here and recommended Raymes-trying to support a local business for our special family dinner. (We came to Raymes regularly ) Well...Way to go Raymes. You should teach your staff to have better alternatives when you kick people out out of their reservation because you don't know how to accommodate the reservations that follow it. And three of us at our table had worked in restaurants for many years in our careers so it's not like we don't understand how the business works. But you provided no alternative, no apology and were pretty callous in your response. I hope that table of 14 were regular, loyal, big spending customers of yours. Because we WERE regulars (who typically always ordered apps, entrees, many drinks and deserts) and we had always highly recommended your restaurant to our clients and friends. (Many of whom live in Naperville and local and had never even heard of your restaurant) We will be sure to update them on our experience this evening and how we were treated and asked to leave because you needed your table back. read more

Raymes Steak & Fish House is a spot that can easily be overlooked while cruising by on Route 53, after all I've done it many times, but you should definitely stop in for a meal, it's great! We came for dinner with a small group (six of us), called ahead for a reservation, and were seated at a nice table near the center of the restaurant. The hostess, our waitress, and the other staff all were very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere of this place is classy, but not stuffy, and the crowd is certainly on the older side. However, we still found it to be rather lively and enjoyable! In fact, it was a very friendly ambiance. The menu is obviously focused on fish and steak but they do have a little bit of everything. In fact, I found it very hard to choose what to eat because everything sounded so good. We ended up with a few apps before our mains and I went with the Grouper and a loaded baked potato. Let me tell you, the food is PHENOMENAL! Bursting with flavor and portions that are sizable made me fall in love at first bite. Everyone else agreed, DELICIOUS! It has been years of me passing by Raymes but that ends today. It will be sitting on the tip of my tongue for a while, ready to recommend to anyone that will listen. And I, myself, can already not wait to return for a repeat meal! read more
