Widely regarded as a “must visit” by locals and travelers alike, Ray’s Boathouse is world-renowned for its impeccably fresh Northwest seafood. Our culinary professionals, led by Executive Chef Peter Birk, hand select the best products from local purveyors and then prepare them simply to enhance the naturally fresh, clean flavors and succulent textures.

The menu changes weekly to reflect what is seasonally and locally available. Combined with our spectacular bayside view of the Olympic Mountains over Puget Sound, Ray’s Boathouse is the quintessential Northwest seafood experience. Complementing Ray’s cuisine is our award-winning wine list of more than 700 selections, with an emphasis on Northwest vineyards.

Like the red 50-foot “RAY’S” sign near its front door, Ray’s Boathouse has become a Seattle icon that has changed the way the Northwest eats seafood. What began as a dockside cafe known for its home-cooked meals has become a must-visit restaurant with a majestic view of Puget Sound and rugged Olympic Mountains with a rare mix of dining elegance and hospitality. Its international reputation for seafood draws raves from publications like the New York Times, Gourmet Magazine, Chicago Tribune and Food & Wine.

Over the years, the restaurant’s reputation has continued to grow and it is now considered one of the ten best seafood restaurants in the country. Ray’s Boathouse was one of the select few enlisted to cater a gathering of over 200,000 people in Washington, D.C. prior to Bill Clinton’s 1993 presidential inauguration. Its chefs have been guest cooks for Julia Child and the James Beard House, and have been invited to prepare Ray’s cuisine in Beijing, Singapore, London, Paris and Stockholm, as well as many cities across the United States.

Ray’s is committed to its community, being a prominent participant in Seattle’s annual Taste of the Nation event, FareStart, and Children’s Hospital’s Auction of Northwest Wines, as well as numerous auctions to benefit AIDS research, children, seniors, homelessness and hunger.

Ray’s isn’t just a place to eat, it’s a place where people meet. A longtime staff, many of whom have been at the restaurant 15 years and longer, help create a special place where friends come to enjoy a memorable meal, an unforgettable location and a slice of history by the water’s edge.
