    We had one of the best dinners we’ve had in years on the lovely patio of the Drake. The halibut and the salmon were outstanding, as were the charred broccolini, string beans, potatoes, beet salad, and beautiful chocolate dessert. The live jazz was beautiful. The service could not have been more friendly, gracious and professional. We returned for another delicious dinner with family members the same week as our first one, and now everyone in the family is lobbying to be part of the next dinner at The Drake. This is a very special experience.

    The 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. Thank you so much for all you do.

    This was our third visit to Stella’s. The food and service has been consistently quite good. The ambiance is charming. Unfortunately, the cocktails have been disappointing. We had to send back our drinks since the quality was poor.
