    Extra large pepperoni and half mushroom
    Kathryn M.

    Since we moved into the area, locals have been telling us about Ray's Pizza. If I remember, it's a small "hole in the wall." I ordered for delivery on a Friday evening. The lady was super nice when taking my order. I ordered an extra large pepperoni pizza half mushrooms. We also ordered a Greek salad to share. She quoted 45-50 minutes time. It came here a little ate the time but no problem. Pizza was still hot. I had originally asked for extra feta but the lady insisted I hold off since they are generous with their feta cheese. (It would have been $2). Boy was she right! Lots of feta! This made my heart and mouth happy! Pizza was delicious! It was very close to NY style. This place was great! We're definitely ordering from them from now on! They also had a lot of pastas and subs on their menu!

    Mold near the restroom

    This place has gone downhill fast, (MOLD AND ROACHES). The last time I went in there, multiple employees were talking amongst each other about their checks bouncing. I left on hold for over 10 minutes and had to call back to get my order taken. The food is hit or miss and I caught a picture of the mold on the wall. Ray was scratching himself and pulling up his pants, then preparing food for customers without washing his hands or putting gloves on. I talked to some of my friends/neighbors about this place and they have heard about ROACHES around the kitchen! I tried to call the Health Department a few weeks ago but they claimed to have the place "flagged" already, whatever that means. The owner (presumably Ray) doesn't even seem care about the state of things and no one that I have contacted has done anything about it. So I figured I would let you know on here. In summary: There is mold and cockroaches at this place and it continues to have them. No one in enforcement will do anything about it and the owner continues to let things get more disgusting. (this place sells FOOD?!)

    Garlic knots- soooo good
    Amanda S.

    Ordered from Ray's for the first time tonight. We were not disappointed. We placed our order online- easy to navigate. Email confirmation of order and pick up time. At pick up- the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was ready right on time. We will definitely be ordering from Ray's again.

    Unbelievable meatball sub!

    Love Rays! Consistently the best pie & subs in the Grassfield area. Staff is amazing. Ray is ALWAYS there working his ass off. Thank you sir for a great neighborhood restaurant that isn't a chain.

    a piece of bread and a cup of sauce

    Authentic NY style food! It's so good. Hailing from the northeast and missing this authentic style food, made this random visit more of a welcome surprise! I ordered the calzone with sliced ham inside and it was just like I remember it from home. Even the dough had great flavor and I had to eat the whole thing. The staff was so sweet and eager to help and serve. The setup is simple but welcoming. This is a must visit and must return!

Can't say that am partial as the owner is an acquaintance but I do know that he works hard and has a presence in the kitchen himself and comes out to mingle to make the ambiance friendly and personable. The service is very friendly. I was immediately greeted at the door not only by the wait staff Sarah! but those in the kitchen. Giving very local neighborly vibe! With the weather being 100 degrees, I wanted to start off with the gelato bomb. It was vanilla and chocolate gelato enrobed in chocolate that was thin enough to crack and enjoyed with a spoon. IG has maraschino cherry in it. I also decided to order something light, so ended up with the caprese salad. In other places they use large heirloom tomatoes but use of cherry tomatoes here works as well. Love the balsamic dressing, seems authentic with it being a great balance of sweet and tart, not watered down. Would definitely come back for a pizza next time.

I thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Vino. This is a great spot to take a date for a slightly fancier italian vibe and some good wine! They have booths, tables, and bar seating. The restaurant is open concept so you can see everything that's going on! The foods are served with such beautiful presentation and they taste very good too. We had the burrata for the appetizer and capellini pomodoro with meatball add-ons. Both were very delicious. The pomodoro sauce was nice and tangy but not overly acidic. And the meatballs were full of flavor and just the right saltiness for me. But if you're the type to add more seasoning, the tables come with pepper and salt so you can season to taste!

Once while dining in we had the arancini ball and it was ice cold in the middle, other times our food tasted just luke warm. Today we gave it another shot and ordered delivery after a long travel day and we were so disappointed, paid $10 for a ceaser salad and it was very small with 5 croutons and looked like the lettuce was just poured out of a bag you'd buy at the grocery store. The pastas were okay but nothing impressive. Expensive for what we got. I don't love leaving bad reviews but now that this has happened a few times here I feel the review was warranted.

I was told that there was no availability for the evening and I should try to walk in for bar seats. Upon arrival, the bar was not busy so we took three seats and noticed that the table behind us never got sat the entire time we were there. To me, this is a pretentious restaurant that falls below the bar in every way. Second time dining here and would not return because service from Branice C. was a C- in her caring that she was even at work, to the upcharges for extra marinara sauce to go with the greasy overbreaded calamari appetizer. The oil saturated flavor was almost nauseating. Please change the oil in your fryer! Prices were not excessive but the upcharge for using a credit card was. Who really walks around with $300 cash in pocket to pay for dinner without a credit card fee. JUST ADD IT IN YOUR MENU PRICES!!!! The Boar Ragu was truly not boar but probably run of the mill ground beef and the four tiny slices of steak on the Caesar salad was a joke. There are so many other lovely restaurants along this block that this is a skip right past for the future.

Time your visit well, and you'll be rewarded with a sunset that is nothing short of spectacular--an ideal backdrop for an already memorable dining experience. The restaurant strikes a rare balance: refined without being pretentious. The atmosphere leans toward fine dining, yet the dress code is refreshingly unforced. Jackets and ties coexist comfortably with shorts and flip-flops--a subtle nod to Chesapeake's "come as you are" sensibility. Whether you arrive by boat or by car, the experience begins the moment you step inside. We started with the ahi carpaccio and a classic Caesar salad--both fresh, well-composed, and thoughtfully prepared. For entrées, my wife chose the crab-stuffed shrimp, finished with a lemon-herb beurre blanc and accompanied by sautéed vegetables. It was an excellent dish--rich, balanced, and, notably, not shared. I opted for the 13-ounce New York strip with a garlic and herb demi-glace. Cooked to a precise medium-rare, the steak was properly seasoned and executed with confidence. In a moment of generosity, I offered a few bites across the table--well received, though her loyalty remained with her own selection. From the waterfront setting to the attentive service and well-crafted cuisine, Amber Lantern delivers a dining experience that feels both special and approachable. It's a place worth seeking out--and returning to.

I ended up exchanging it for a wine. My husband had a old-fashioned. It was very watered down and sweet. It's a shame it's a beautiful restaurant, but it's literally been a run by kids right now. They need a better management team in there to overlook everything. Everything got late to our table. It wasn't our waitress fault she was so apologetic. I really want more for this place. It's so pretty and it has a great view. I would recommend new management or manager and to upgrade the menu and train the bartenders .
