Had a great experience at Ray’s Boathouse today ✨
There’s a nice selection of both alcohol-free and regular drink options, and the parking lot is huge, making it super easy to find a spot. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating makes it perfect no matter the weather.

The view is an easy 10/10 on a clear day ❄️ snow-capped mountains in the distance, and right on the water – sea lions lounging nearby, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a whale

The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. This visit was just for a few drinks and good vibes , but next time I’ll definitely be coming back to try the food too!

Killer view with a great service. Four of us ordered a bunch for appetizers and shareable dishes instead of main dishes and enjoyed the meals. The table by the water in the evening has a cool vibe with the light reflecting on the water. Our server John was super attentive which made our visit even better.

Stopped by Ray’s Boathouse today to pick up a burger to go. Super easy process — I called in my order and it was ready right when I arrived. Service was prompt and friendly. The burger itself was pretty delicious and definitely worth the $21. Great experience overall.

We came here from our hotel in downtown, was a longer drive than expected. Decided to order the bread plate (not included but worth it) , the bacon wrapped scallops, arugula salad, fish and chips, and salmon. Scallops were not bad but we probably liked that dish the least. The other three were really good!Fresh ingredients. Yummy sauces, well presented, service was good. Ambience was mediocre but the view is quite nice! For dessert we ordered cookies pannacotta and coffee (all of these were just mediocre).

I absolutely loved the Monae (non alcoholic drink). The seafood were ok – quite pricy for the portion and the taste. None of the fish was seasoned well and was relying on the sauce to get flavor, but it’s not a good balance and does not bring out the fish’s natural flavor. The albacore with pear puree was so overpowered by the sauce and the texture was overpowered by nuts on top.
The ambiance was absolutely great. The service was ok.

While visiting Seattle, we were in search of classic, non-fried seafood with a great waterfront setting—and we found exactly that at Ray’s Boathouse.
Ray’s delivers delicious, high-quality seafood with breathtaking views that’ll have you planning your next visit before you even leave. The service is top-notch, the staff are genuinely welcoming, and the extensive wine list complements the menu perfectly.

If you can, reserve a table by the water and time your visit for sunset—it’s an experience you won’t forget.

Parking can be a bit tight, and while they do accept walk-ins, reservations are highly recommended as the place gets busy.

Come for the food, stay for the view. You won’t regret it. Thank me later.

We’ve been to Ray’s many times. Always solid. Most of the time we go during happy hour and sit in the bar. Winter is much quieter than Summer but in Summer the patio is open and it’s arguably the best in Seattle.

Long time establishment still gets it done right. The food is excellent. The drinks are surprisingly good too. Hard to beat a window side table at sunset. Said another way, no one from out of state should be allowed to eat here during a great sunset, lest they discover the truth of where we live and move here!

One of the best places in Seattle on a sunny day. I was upstairs in the cafe section, having a drink and snack sized small plates. Food was excellent and I’ll definitely be back to try the main dining area.

The views of the sound is spectacular too.

We came for the food which was less to be desired. Scallops were the best tho for paying a full meal price, was served 2 1/4 scallops. The view was the best and we stayed to watch the sun set in the rear and the moon lit up in the front. It’s all about atmosphere and the company you’re with.
