I was in before dining began at 5P but got me in easily & got me a booth for myself & began with rolls (they little later than butter but wait) & had two rolls & then I got my entire which was a broiled seafood sampler featuring haddock, scallops & shrimp in garlic butter/lemon slice & though got through it because there's leftover seafood pieces in butter used the remaining rolls & a petite chocolate sin cake & perfectly for the finish. Nearly fifty years in the business & this bunch does the job right regardless of meat, seafood, banquets etc they got you set plus atmosphere in the place is another great thing as well.

Part of our reason for a return visit was the outstanding service provided to us by Molly. We felt double spoiled by having her be our server for dinner. The setting was delightful. Both times we got a great table by the window with fabulous views of the harbor and Lake Champlain. The vibe is relaxed, warm, and charming. No frills. The focus is on the food and the view. The food was really good. For lunch we shared a lobster roll. Now I know that there is a lot of controversy on what makes an "authentic" lobster roll. My take on having them in just about every state from Maine to Florida and and few tasty ones in my inland location. This one tasted good to me - lots of lobster, not too much mayo, fresh soft bun and some nice romaine for some crunch. They made me a lovely Cranberry Mule mocktail to sip on during the meal. For dinner my husband had the Crab Cake and I had the Shrimp Scampi. Both were quite good and the fish tasted fresh. We finished off with a decadent Key Lime Pie. Next time we are in the Burlington area, this will definitely be worth a return visit.

Our entrees were the Broiled Seafood platter and Lobster tail (approx 1.5lb at market price). We were craving seafood and I am glad we dined in because the food was delicious. The service staff was friendly, however, I'm docking a star for how long it took for us to receive our dinner. It was a two hour experience, while others around us, who sat after us, ate and left. We are convinced our server forgot to put our order in, especially since the tables surrounding us had different servers than ours. Any communication from our server would of been helpful as to why there was a hold up on our entrees. Either way, the food was good and I recommend the beautiful views.

We had a group of six, so they sat us in the private room on the second floor. Very friendly staff and the service was great. We tried a variety of cocktails, all unique in their own ways. As everything on the menu sounded delicious and the menu rotates, we decided to order almost one of each item and share plates. They paced the delivery of the dishes, so we got to enjoy them a few at a time. With the exception of one unremarkable vegetarian dish, we loved everything we tasted. We skipped dessert, as we filled up on the small plates and main dishes. We'll definitely return to this restaurant.

Located in the Courtyard (Marriott) Hotel, only a stone's throw from Lake Champlain and close to the center of Burlington, VT, the restaurant sits just off the lobby. I made a dinner reservation and we was seated by the window with a view of the park with the lake beyond. Off to a good start. My Dirty Martini was spot-on. The perfect balance of Tito's and brine. Only missing the 'bleu' cheese olives. I often order a second appetizer as my entree. My starter was carpaccio that was outstanding. The microgreens were a nice touch. The mussels (appetizer) that I chose for my main course were small in size but ample in portion and were the perfect choice for me. My husband chose the cheese platter for his starter. It was disappointing. Two slices of bleu cheese. Should have been three different ones for $15. And no VT cheddar? Not much imagination here. His Steak Frites was OK; the quality of the beef could have been better. We shared the spinach watermelon salad which was fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. Overall, we liked this restaurant and will return.

The ambiance is where I'll start, as it, is the least interesting. The restaurant is part of Blue Mall, a strip mall, and doesn't look interesting from the outside. The inside is a pretty open area for dining, so not intimate, and not romantic, but it works well enough, especially for family style. We had good service, checking in often enough but not too much. Not amazeballs but not terrible. The food though, was well presented. And tasteful. We did a variety with some rolls, some sashimi, and some nigiri. Very well done, fresh and tasty. For northern New England, definitely a good spot, and we'll return.

Their internet was down so they were only taking checks or cash and I wrote a check and pre-paid for my order for a 4pm pickup time. I went back at 4pm and the order had just been bagged and was ready on time as always. As usual, they were very punctual in getting this order ready on time! Excellent service in light of their tech issues that day and they still make the best lobster rolls around and do not skimp on the lobster meat! Their Lobster Rolls prices are quire fair and reasonable and priced a lot lower than other restaurants in the area. Still 5 stars and they are a local business which for us, makes all the difference in giving them our continued business. Well done Ray's! -------------------------------------------------------------- We've been delighted with the service (pickup) and food quality at Rays. I stopped by at opening on New Year's Eve (12/31/2025) to order 4 of their awesome lobster rolls and a quart of their house cole-slaw. There was no cashier ready as I'd arrived just at opening and the manager took my order and asked what time I wanted to pick up, I replied at 4pm and offered to prepay for the order as is the standard policy for takeout, but, she told me no worries and to come by at 4PM and everything would be ready. It was! I went back at 4pm and the order was ready to go. I paid for my order (and be advised, Ray's charges less than many restaurant do in this area for a solidly filled lobster roll). We are still very delighted with their service, quality of food and prices. Supporting a local Vermont owned company also means a lot to us. Zero complains and we will continue to give Ray's our business. Well done!
