Hi. Heresy re Ray's the Steak
.
We live In the West End DC. Our home restaurants are at Westend Bistro, Ris, Blue Duck, Marcels, etc. A nice group. We frequent these places and are treated well. Nevertheless we decided to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary at Ray"s the Steak. We have eaten at Hellberger a bunch of times, even pre Obama, and were at the old Ray's location and even visited Ray's the Classic.
So we went tonight and were treated well, the food was quite good and everyone was friendly. Nevertheless we truly felt the prime directive was to turn tables. We did not linger, we do not do that, but nevertheless that's how we felt. Our dinner showed up before we finished our appetizers and the check showed up while we were still eating. No one asked whether we wanted coffee or desert. Don't get me wrong, the food was quite good, but I do not think we will go there for a celebration again. FYI total time there from being seated at about 7:40 pm to paid and out the door was about 50 minutes.
