- JJJustJessCalifornia Central Coast •10 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe Raya experience begins and ends with valet parking. Everyone from valet, reception and food server Javier were friendly and amazing. Long time Raya patron and will continue to invest my time at Raya. One small concern, the agua chile was more of a seafood cocktail, is not agua chile by any means therefore was not what I expected. Overall experience was amazing.
