Haven't been here for a couple of years, as the last time we didn't enjoy the company of rats. They didn't even offer to buy in. This last time we went to a different area and the brunch was great. Truly like the croissant style cinnamon rolls and breve. We also had both types of benedicts and they were great.

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating... they called before we arrived to discuss the notes we entered when booking, and continued to perform at that level throughout. Food was very good, nice ambience, really all in all a lovely experience.

Today was ladies night out. We had multiple appetizers like bread, Caesar salad, tomatoes and cheese, shrimp cocktail, and our entrees. We were stuffed. We had a wonderful time with Joseph our and Alex visiting us from her outside table. Every time we go to the Raymond we enjoy our time with friends, staff, and dining.

What a delightful experience. We have a toddler so we went to eat dinner at 5pm. We had the whole back patio to ourselves. The waiter was very attentive and the busboy was on top of clearing plates and filling waters. Just an overall great time. We were able to park on the Main Street but when we left at 6pm it was filling up so you may have to pay the $8 for valet parking

My friends and I enjoyed the food and cocktails at The Raymond while having a birthday celebration. The service provided by Sarah was friendly and attentive. The Alien Pool Party cocktail was tasty and decorated with a cute green alien. The calamari appetizer was tasty, but I thought the portion size was small for the price. I would order the short rib again as it was very tender and went well with the potato and roasted vegetable sides.

Delicious brunch options and beautiful back patio seating. We always get the pistachio waffles, fruit plate, and a different egg dish each time. Never been disappointed. Our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and always pleasant.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, including good food and excellent service. We had not been here in over 35 years after moving out of the area, delightful to return for a wonderful meal.

It was a hot night in all of Los Angeles. The Raymond sat us outside as requested under the ceiling fan for a slight breeze. The wait staff brought out a pitcher of ice water, to keep us hydrated and cooled off as we enjoyed our drinks, appetizers and dinner. Our waiter was pretty knowledgable with the menu, discussing the details of each entree. Enjoyed our dinner!

Rating: 2 stars The service was great—our waiter was friendly and kind—but the food was a major disappointment. We ordered the crabcake benedict, which was unbearably salty, and the smoked salmon toast, which was completely bland. The panna cotta was far from creamy, with a texture closer to cottage cheese. Even the bread tasted like cardboard. It's a shame because they used to have such great food! I remember the Dutch baby they used to make was absolutely delicious. It seems like there's a new chef, and unfortunately, the quality just isn't the same anymore.

Great experience in the outdoor patio. It has a very calm and serene atmosphere. Our hostess and waitress were extremely pleasant, friendly, polite, attentive and professional. The best pancakes ever!!! We had a relaxing breakfast. I highly recommend this place. Jennifer, our waitress, made sure we were well taken care of.

Gina (the general manager) and Carlo (our server) were amazing! They took care of us from the minute we arrived. From drinks to dinner. they made us feel like Luke we were the only customers they had. What a beautiful evening we had. Will be back!

We had a large group of 15 people for a professional meeting and I couldn't be happier with the service. Claudia, Gina, and Leo were all perfection and made me look good in front of the guests and kept me within chosen budget. Can't thank them enough.

We have a wonderful girls night out each month. The food is delicious. I had the scallops which were plentiful and filling. Thomas was our waiter and he, as always, was quick and personable. We had a fantastic evening.

We had brunch outside. It was a perfect morning. Carlos was our server and he is such a nice guy and very attentive even when we didn't see him. He keeps his eyes on all his tables and is right there when he sees he's needed. Love Carlos! I tried the avocado toast and it was really REALLY good. It wasn't too much, but just right and served with delicious crispy potatoes. My partner and I shared a fruit plate - very fresh and refreshing. The ambience at The Raymond both inside and outside is cozy and inviting. Great place for brunch or dinner.
