Ray’s — Restaurant in New York

I’m not the one for bad reviews but the service was terrible. Me and my boyfriend came here sun 11/03 a little bit after 12am. First time here. It was packed out to the max but me and my boyfriend managed. But we were completely rubbed the wrong way once we were randomly selected to show ID by a female bartender with shorter dirty blonde hair. She was never insight prior but popped up randomly to question us. Very odd. We were the only ones she asked to show ID. Mind you I’m the only black female there and my Hispanic boyfriend. This was after about 2 1/2 hours of already drinking at the horrid place they call a bar. The bouncers did their job and ID us at the front door. I asked one bartender What kind of margaritas do you have?. She said only classic. Later on, I noticed someone with a margarita but it looked flavored so I asked a different bartender. Do you guys have different flavored margaritas and she said yes and proceeded to name them. Very weird on why two bartenders are telling me two different things. The place is not Up kept at all. They charged my boyfriend over $30 for 2 Jameson shots. Should have read all the other reviews for there service and quality. After reading this is not surprising at all now… Picture below in...

Listen, I don’t complain often, I’m in the industry and I hate it. They charged us $30 for 2 Tito’s and sodas and $10 for shot of espolon. The price didn’t faze us… what did is the fact that all we tasted is club soda. Also, not a big deal… we’re accustomed to these prices, we didn’t care… but felt something was wrong. So we asked how much are these drinks to a different male bartender. He said they were $14 each. Fine. We got charged an extra dollar.. no biggie. We said listen, we’re both bartenders.. we’re not trying to be difficult, but… it tastes like straight club soda. Here taste it. He grabbed the bottle of Tito’s and poured it into our drinks and said “here you got what you wanted and we don’t play those games here.” Clearly, they do. Otherwise, his response would not have been as harsh. They assumed we were tourists and attempted to add a slight dollar amount and not give much alcohol. We left both drinks after this and said that isn’t what we wanted, take it. That wasn’t even what we were after. It was just a very odd experience and beware cause if they think that you are a tourist or not a regular they will add a bit to the bill (not much, but still) and...

I came here with some friends after my friend got broken up with and we were greeted by a very handsome rough bearded masculine bartender whose sensual aura took my breath away. I told him our friend's unfortunate situation and he made the entire night a fruitful and beautiful experience. Jamison's drinks were delicious and catered to our taste, he made the best French 95 I have ever had in my life and I will say that my tastebuds are rather refined. He was working alone and single handedly helped a full bar in a timely manner, making sure everyone stayed at the bar having fun for the entire night. His personal catering was consistent and caring to us and his ability to read what we needed before we asked made us feel like we were VIP members of a top club in the city. The bar has a fun, simple, and warm atmosphere that is great for conversation and good times with friends. I recommend coming here with a group and taking a table to play games and listen...
