Ray's on the River

Set along the Chattahoochee in Sandy Springs, Ray's on the River almost feels like a secret hideaway. Walk waterside along the river and for a moment, you feel like you're leagues away from Atlanta. The transportive experience continues inside the longstanding seafood restaurant. Traditional American seafood dishes mix with an array of inventive specials. Lean savory with the Parmesan-encrusted scallops served over lobster basil risotto, or opt for lighter fare with one of the Fresh Seafood Market options (like the Georgia Mountain Trout, grilled with a lemon caper, tomato and brown butter sauce on the side). A wide-ranging seafood menu is complemented by multiple salads and red meat selections, as well as a handsome array of sides. Vegetables, like the seafood, are fresh and most often, locally grown (maybe even on the premises!). Brunch is especially lovely and a great outside-the-box experience for out-of-towners.
