This is not a sponsored post in any way, shape, or form. I made my own reservations, paid for my meal & Ray’s has no idea I’m writing this. All opinions are mine.

I recently shared a great place to eat in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, now let’s take it to the Dirty South… shall we?!

While on a recent visit to the #ATL, I had the pleasure of finding Ray’s in the City, located in Downtown Atlanta.

From their website: “Ray’s in the City is the quintessential Downtown Atlanta restaurant. Enjoy hand-cut steaks, made-to-order sushi and seafood flown in daily from the Atlantic and Pacific all in a casual, yet elegant setting. From exceptional service and entrée recommendations to wine pairings, our friendly and knowledgeable staff are committed to providing you a truly memorable dining experience.”

My dining partner & I were seated in the Peachtree Room, which has panoramic city views of Peachtree St.

We started dinner off with an appetizer. I’m a Texas Girl, so I went with a bowl of Seafood Gumbo. It was very tasty, but I couldn’t find the seafood. Have your kleenex handy, it’s got a kick to it! Next up, my Field Green Salad, which included blue cheese, candied pecans, dried cranberries, & roasted onion balsamic dressing. This salad was delicious, I couldn’t get enough of it! Excellent! It was time for me to order my entree & I was thrilled to see Oysters on the menu! The menu says Fresh Shucked Oysters, but I prefer mine fried… so I asked if they’d fry them for me & they said sure. Yay! Look at them beauties! I also ordered some mashed taters, Whipped Yukon Gold Potatoes, to be exact. Oh Em Gee! I love me some mashed taters & these were like butta! It was a huge portion too, I guess that’s why they’re called Sharable Sides. (For the record, I was not able to finish them). How about another Fried Oyster shot? I was in Heaven eating those oysters, they were everything! I ate them nice & slow-savoring each & every bite. After dinner, we were both way too full to order dessert, but I’m sure it would’ve been yummy. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the live music- Ray’s has live music most nights after 6PM.
