Ray's on the River Raises a Glass to 40 Years

For four decades, Ray’s on the River has welcomed guests for its award-winning menu, approachable, elevated service and spectacular riverside views. Guests have come to know and love the restaurant for its prime steaks, house-cut chops and extensive selection of cocktails and wines. This year, guests will have the chance to taste some of Ray’s on the River’s fan-favorite dishes from throughout the years, with a special anniversary menu.

The special anniversary menu features a bi-monthly rotation, ensuring patrons can try all kinds of dishes from the restaurant’s four decades of service. The first $40 prix fixe menu rotation includes a starter and entree. For the starter, diners can choose from a Caesar salad, steakhouse wedge, or Ray’s salad. The entrees include crispy fried jumbo shrimp, crab stuffed flounder or blackened mahi Alexander.

Dinner is not the only time to celebrate this milestone anniversary. Along with the special 40th anniversary dinner menu, Ray’s on the River also will start offering select a la carte brunch menu items on Saturdays. This menu includes brunch favorites like challah French toast, poached lobster Benedict, brisket brunch burger, smoked brisket hash, the “chip” biscuit with crispy catfish and steak frites with eggs. The brunch menu also includes signature cocktails like $18 bottomless mimosas, Betty’s bloody mary, brunch punch and even an espresso martini tree.

“Being in business for 40 years isn't just a milestone, it's a testament to the bonds we've formed with our loyal customers,” says Ray’s Restaurants founder Ray Schoenbaum. “At Ray's on the River, we've always believed in not just serving meals but creating experiences, and our guests have been the heart of our journey. For this 40th anniversary, we're excited to take a trip down memory lane with our special anniversary menu, featuring beloved dishes from over the years. It's our way of saying thank you and inviting everyone to continue making memories with us by the river.”
