Olivia the manager is beyond excellent her cool, calm and collected demeanor was exceptional. She treated her customers and staff with care, kindness and respect, always checking in to see how we were doing as well as the staff. Ray's you did well having Olivia as your manager, very hard to come by someone with her top tier qualities. Also Danny the bar tender was engaging took time to chat with us and recommend drinks and food. Even when he became busy? he still took the time to see how we were, if we needed anything. The restaurant in itself is beautifully done, music at a proper volume so you can hear yourself talk. The food & drinks for the price are great, no shrinkflation here. The prawn ceviche outstanding!we ordered a second one. Highly recommend Rays, will definitely go back! read more

We came for happy hour on a weekday and there were lots of seats available. Ceviche prawn - skip on this one. The chips are GREAT. Super crunchy and seasoned well. But the "ceviche" was not any good. It was cooked shrimp with a sour sauce. Not much flavour to it. The uptown burger with the fries is $9 plus $3 for fries. That must be one of the cheapest burgers in town. Taste wise it wasn't the best. It has an onion ring inside which would make you think it would be good but it was WAY over fried. Too hard to chew through. The beef burgers were also way too overcooked and dry. It did have a good amount of fresh veggies though The fries were okay. I wouldn't add them next time. Service - our server was super nice and attentive. Atmosphere - not too loud. Even though it got crowded later it wasn't too bad Cost efficient - this place has probably the cheapest and biggest happy hour menu in downtown read more

i walked by this new restaurant a few times so decided to check out its lunch menu Staff were great and the restaurant has a nice chic vibe. The menu seems to be focus on comfort and bistro items We ordered a pesto chicken quesadilla and the nashville hot chicken sandwich. Both items were very good. chicken on both dishes were very well made without dried up and overcooked chicken. The sauce for the quesadilla was my flavorite of the day The price range are very reasonable with the quantity and the location The only downside was the fries. they could be cooked/fried a bit longer to make the crispier Would return to try their other items. their cocktail and wine list looked extensive and would love to give it a try read more

I'm surprised. The resto looks nice and it's in a really nice area. Food was mediocre. Pasta was meh. Chicken had spices that were a bit too strong. The piña colada was also kinda strong and just didn't have a good balance. Not tasty. I couldn't drink it. I paid extra for some cheeseball on the pasta... not worth it. Barely anything for what I paid. Just unimpressive. read more

Ray's - Cajun chicken pasta, with a cheese burrata, slice of garlic bread, and piña colada - American Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This place has very quickly become a go to for me and my friends in Yaletown. Loves the food options, it's great value for the price. Everything is so reasonably priced! It was much needed in Yaletown where prices were getting crazy. The vibe is great and it's always busy. I enjoy the booth seating and the bar. They also have high tops and a big patio. read more

Giving this a 4**** This is only on the vibe and the atmosphere. I didn't eat. They opened on April 14th, so here I am, and it was packed for a Saturday evening @ 11PM. It's a big space and there is a constant stream of people coming and going. I like what they've done to the space reno wise. The patrons, a wide age range, which surprised me. Everything from early 20s to 50s+. The ratio is more skewed towards 30ish. Staffing is also more of a mature crowd - 30s, other than the front greet staff. The music also reflected the age range. Michael Jackson's Beat It, Bee Gees Night Fever, the Weeknd, Gwen Stefani and others. That's a 50 year range in music. I'd say it's worth a visit. The food is standard pub fare that's been elevated from what I can see. More mature than Earls, less nightclubby than West Oak, not as refined as Blue water and Elisa. Kinda in the middle and they open late I understand - till 3AM on Fridays and Saturdays. So it's hitting a bit of a niche market in Yaletown. They have a happy hour menu for late night. I'll be back to feel it out more read more

Went back a week later to check out their HH and our waitress was great. She helped me as I liked the ingredients of the Spa Day cocktail but w/ tequila. She recommended their tuna poke $16.75 (it is not on the HH menu). I preferred the chicken fajitas. Their food menu is priced so reasonably so hope to keep trying different menu items as do hope their business model is sustainable. read more

I had a fantastic experience at Ray's! From the moment I entered the restaurant to the moment I left, I felt very well taken care of by the staff. My server went above and beyond to make sure the food met my expectations. When I mentioned my fries were slightly saltier than expected, my server relayed the feedback to the kitchen and brought out fresh, lightly salted fries without question. She also checked in every time a new dish was brought out and appreciated all the comments. Oh and did I mention the prices here are also the most reasonable I've seen? read more

This is a great place! We got the truffle fries and pasta and they were both amazingly good! The staff are all super sweet. The inside feels like a mix of a bar and a higher scale restaurant (we went while they were playing a World Cup game). Would definitely recommend coming here! read more

Great place! I've visited for lunch and happy hour and enjoyed the salmon, general wow chicken, guacamole and lava cake. Service was friendly from the moment you walk in. Our server didn't check in on us as often as she did with the surrounding tables but that was fine since we didn't need anything. One of my new favourite spots in Yaletown! read more

There's a new player in YALETOWN ! Ray's has undergone a complete renovation and the ambience is very nice and tasteful. The menu at a glance looks pretty much like earls or cactus but more reasonably priced ! The best of all is the flavours, quality and portion size and they all hit the mark. One might say a burger is a burger - but the patty here is juicy with great texture. I had the Swiss burger on brioche bun - it was superb and my husband's Nashville chicken sandwich was also succulent and cooked to perfection. His truffle fries was a tad salty but we know now, next time we'd ask for less or no salt - and yes we will be coming back for sure ! This place will give Earl's, Yaletown brewery and Cactus club a run for their money ! We're looking forward to coming back and trying out the rest of their menu ! read more

Ray's - Entrance - American Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Was staying in Yaletown hotel and wanted a nice dinner before leaving Vancouver. Ray's was able to take a reservation for same evening. Nice to be able to view menu before. Prices were reasonable (compared to other restaurants in area) and food was delicious. Good service and ambiance. While making reservation I could hear a lot of background voices so I knew place was popular/busy. During evening the place was busy and everyone looked to be enjoying a nice evening out! read more

Ray's - Steak and Potato at its best! - American Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Nice ambience, great service, delicious food (I had a burger) & amazing prices! Definitely an asset to Yaletown.

Great vibes, great service, great food, great drinks. Staff was attentive and welcoming. Fajitas were perfectly portioned and the chicken was wonderfully done. The cocktails and red sangria really hit the spot. Thank you for a lovely lunch experience! read more

This place just opened in Yaletown and I'm sure it will quickly make its mark. My wife and I have already been twice and have had the steak and mashed potatoes, the chicken fajitas, the spag bolognese and the tuna poke bowl. All were excellent. The decor is cool - great wall murals and there's enough acoustic absorbing materials to allow for a conversation without shouting. The owners have obviously chosen the wait staff carefully and screened for personality. Everyone we encountered was warm, personable, helpful, bright, and fun. Prices are definitely low by Yaletown/downtown standards - by my quick reckoning dishes are $8-10 less than the same thing at Earl's and as good or better. These guys have done a lot of things right so good on them. Check it out. read more
