Do you ever get a craving for seafood? Something in your soul just cries out for clams? Well we were hit by this hunger last Friday night and decided to try out "Ray's Cafe" which is located right on Seaview Avenue on your way down to Golden gardens. Ray's Cafe is actually apart of a larger restaurant called Ray's Boathouse, but for the price conscience food consumers like ourselves the Cafe offers a slightly more limited and simplistic menu at about an average of $10-$20 dollars cheaper than the Boathouse. But do not be fooled by its simplistic demeanor, because the cafe offers some of the best seafood entrees in the area!
The cafe has the ambiance of a cozy Pacific Northwest cabin and is located beach front with a wonderful view of the Puget Sound that makes you feel right at home. We started off with an order of their Skookum Inlet Manila clams which are steamed in beer and dill butter. Great light snack to start off the meal! And the broth the clams are boiled in serves as a great dip for bread throughout the rest of dinner! Then for our entrees Shelby ordered their grilled top sirloin steak, which comes with creamed Washington russets, Dungeness crab meat, and horseradish hollandaise. Caroline decided to go for the pan-seared Southeast Alaskan halibut, which came with pea and parmesan risotto cake, pea vine-spring onion salad and ginger carrot emulsion. Both dishes were melt in your mouth good as I'm sure any of the options on the menu would have been too! We gave Ray's Cafe four stars, but would warn anyone contemplating eating there to expect to spend around $35 per person.
