Editorial Review for The Raymond Restaurant – by Rebecca Olmeda
In Short
This historic mainstay, once part of a grand hotel, features a warm dark wood interior and lush candlelit patios, which provide a balance between intimacy for quiet romance and comfort for indulgent dining. The menu has been infused with eclectic touches, adding European hints such as pork chops with an herbed mustard crust and pate maison, a lighter ground pate served with pears. Brunch offers everything from apple fritters to the signature Raymond curry.

My partner and I have driven by the historic place for years, but we had never tried it so we decided to go during the week on a Tuesday evening. The decor was reflective of its history and the food was good, but the service was definitely sub par, which brought down the overall experience of this establishment. The restaurant was not very busy, but our waiter was not attentive at all. He did not ever once stop by our table to ask us how was our appetizer or meal, or if we needed anything. We also had a bottle of sparkling water, but our empty glasses were never topped off by any of the servers during our evening. For the price that we paid for our dinner, we would have expected much better service. While the food was good, I would rather spend my dollars elsewhere with service to match, especially in this great city of restaurant paradise.
Pros: good food
Cons: poor service

Following the advice of this web site I took someone here on a "First Date". The food was excellent. The service was beyond reproach. The experience was going real well ................ Then, no less then six twentysomething couples with infants were seated right next to us. One mother proceded to change a diaper and the noise level in the room doubled. I won't be dining here again for a long time and especially not on a first date.
Pros: Excellent food and service
Cons: They let babies in the front door (what were they thinking)
