Ray's on the River

SMYRNA. Views of the Chattahoochee provide immediate indication that seafood is king at this, the original Ray's. A rustic, upscale setting of wood, stone, and glass surrounds diners as they delve into a menu of always-fresh fin- and shellfish. Oysters Rockefeller or the raw bar's offerings let you ease into grilled fish or something more elaborate, like sun corn-crusted trout, ginger tuna, blackened mahi, or Australian lobster tail. Steaks, pork, and chicken can also be had. Live music is available weekly, and Sunday brunch is a well-attended event that locals eagerly anticipate.
