We were excited because 1. we just moved to Ballard and the location was convenient, and 2. Ray's had just re-opened after an extensive renovation just two days before.

Most of our food was awesome and the views are great we cannot wait to eat here again when it is 100% clear out. We started off with the calamari which was the best I had ever had and I have had some pretty … Read full review
