Well, after much anticipation, I finally tried Ray's 2 weeks ago and it was really, really, really disappointing.
I have truly had better meals at the Outback Steakhouse. Now perhaps the reasoning for this is that it was fairly late when we dined (we were seated at around 10:30), but I believe that if you seat someone, you deserve to give them the experience they deserve. The service was horrible. The restaurant was not even 1/3 filled, and the server sat us directly behind a trio of very loud, very drunk individuals. We asked the waitress for wine suggestions, was offered a shrug so just picked something in our price range. We were never asked if we wanted more wine. I guess they wanted us to close up.
The food. Well, the potatoes were good. The spinach was very cold. I had "The Blue Devil", and it was incredibly tough. I could barely eat more than 1/3 of it, my jaw was in such pain. The highlight of the meal for me was the little peanut butter square that came at the end of the meal. My companions had also ordered their steaks medium rare but they were definitely just rare.
I am really disappointed with Ray's - I love Hellburger and was excited about trying Ray's the Steaks. Unfortunately it did not live up to the hype whatsoever.
