Customer Reviews
Typically when there is a stellar view the food and service take a dip, but that is not the case here. It’s the full package of delicious cuisine and cocktails, attentive and personable service staff and million dollar views. They don’t take reservations so be sure to time a potential wait if you want to imbibe watching the sunset. Also you can order items from the Raya bar menu here. They even had live music that was great background and added to the full experience. The swordfish dip (on the Raya bar menu) and the ahi tuna sandwich were top picks!
Stopped in a few times on our trip, the views are amazing. Good place to have drinks and maybe an appetizer. Wanted to try their spicy orange coriander wings and was quite disappointed, wings were dry and not appetizing at all, whipped feta dip was alright, the pita bread could have been better. Drinks were good and so was the service. Not sure how they can serve food like this at the "Ritz" but it is a miss compared to places around them.
Great spot for a nice relaxing lunch 🥗 The service was great as well as the food. The portions aren’t huge and the cost wasn’t outrageous.
SAD----Wanted to try their wings and was quite disappointed, wings not appetizing at all-only positive point is the beautiful views but even that is not enough a redeeming quality for us to ever consider returning.I knew it was somewhere we wouldn't sit at and relax or enjoy long, the chairs were hard and uncomfortable. Causing butt pain to the backs of my legs. We asked for water and watched the table seated after us receive their cocktails and we still hadn't gotten a glass of water?? As we ate we listened to our waitress give so much time and attention to the table next to us who she seemed more than happy to be attentive to. I am certain they were provided far better service than we got. No water refills, $187 bill before we tipped.
I went here on my birthday for a drink and light dinner with my friend last Monday. The waiter was so attentive and kind making sure the heaters were on and even gifting our appetizer. I’ve been to the hotel for a wedding and will definitely make it a tradition to return. ☺️
