Everything was superb. Steak cooked to perfection, service was attentive but not overly, and the restaurant always has a festive vibe. I’m on the verge of becoming a regular.

This is fine dining! If you're debating between the ones that start with V or RH skip them both and come here. From the service to the food this is truly the triangle's best kept secret. Everyone, including the manager was warm and welcoming from the door. The food was so well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The menu is a la carte so you have freedom of choice. The sides are meant to be shared and come in healthy portion sizes. The waiters were charming and kept the meal well paced. Highly recommend the surf & turf. Can’t wait to return!

Absolutely extraordinary experience. We decided to go to Rey's for my birthday dinner. I got a card from the staff which was so sweet. The server was incredible, I wish I caught his name. He took our allergies very seriously and was knowledgeable on what was safe to eat. He was transparent with pricing, which was appreciated. He forgot our refill of bread and profusely apologized. He gave us our drinks and a dessert on the house. We didn't even notice the bread because he was so quick to make sure we were taken care of. He truly went above and beyond, and we were very grateful. The prices weren't bad (depending on what you get), and the atmosphere was very classy. The steak was so juicy and tender, perfectly cooked. My boyfriend got the calamari, and said it was the best he's ever had. We will be returning!

We enjoyed a quaint private room for dinner with the children and grandchildren. As always, food was great and the level of service was outstanding!

My food tuna was very good. But the server forgot my potatoes and brought the wrong steak for a person in my party. When he got the correct steak it was cooked improperly.
Then after those mistakes it took forever for our waitress to bring the check.

I have eaten at Rey's and had celebrations there for the last 15 years or more. Everything was great, except for one thing. The prices have gotten out of hand recently compared to other restaurants of same quality and stature. I'm sorry to see this happen,

I previously visited Ray’s Steakhouse for my birthday and had an excellent experience, so I decided to return this year with a party of 8–10 guests. Unfortunately, the service this time did not meet the same standard. It felt as though we were being rushed through our meal and out of the restaurant, which was disappointing ; especially since the restaurant still had another hour before closing. I wanted to fully enjoy the atmosphere and celebrate my birthday with my guests, as I did during my previous visit. I’ve always appreciated Ray’s for its great food and ambiance, and I hope this feedback helps ensure future guests can have the same outstanding experience I once did.

I really wanted to enjoy my visit because the atmosphere and presentation looked great, but my experience fell short due to a mix-up with my order. I originally ordered a filet mignon, but the server brought out a New York strip instead. Mistakes happen, but when I pointed it out, they took it back and returned later with the filet — unfortunately, it was undercooked. The center of the steak was about 60 degrees. The service felt a bit disorganized, and it took quite a while to get checks.

Went for a celebration for my son. Food was exceptional. Steaks were cooked to perfection. Tuna was outstanding. Sides were solid as was the crab cakes. I would recommend bringing wine if you are a wine snob like me. The wine list is extensive but a bit pricey for the caliber of options. I would have preferred to bring my own nice bottle of wine to compliment the wonderful food. Cocktails were very nice though.

The food was very good. I got the rack of lamb but it could have been cooked a tad bit more. The Au Gratin was excellent!, Broccoli, Sautéed Spinach, Grouper was good, Shrimp Orleans and crab cakes were about a 4, they had a lot of bread and reminded you of crab stuffing. But overall the customer service was excellent and overall the food was great.

Great experience, the food is top quality, servers are swift with their assistance and knowledgeable about the menu which helped with recommending different items and informing us of specials. Rey touched the table to check on us throughout the night which showed a great deal of care which was appreciated. Strongly recommend if you're looking for a nice dinner date or birthday dinner.
