 Taking good advantage of its position along Atlanta's iconic Chattahoochee River, Ray's on the River captures wide-span views of the riverscape, while inside, the restaurant's multiple levels seem to give it a stage-like presence. Many fish choices change seasonally, but you can count on Georgia trout and grouper to be listed regularly. One may also encounter ginger-soy tuna paired with bok choy and shiitake mushroom jus. And don’t forget to visit during salmon season. For carnivores, Ray's offers prime rib and hand-cut steaks, such as a 16-ounce New York strip or 22-ounce bone-in rib-eye, served with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, and we've enjoyed the lamb chops, too. The cauliflower gratin is a splendid side dish, but the creamed spinach swims in cream instead of being incorporated with it. Key lime pie is the signature dessert. The wine list captures a wide-spread collection, with heavy emphasis on California Chardonnay among whites, but more than a few French whites relieve the tedium. There are also a number of big spender business-account wines, such as Silver Oak, which is available in some depth, Beringer Reserve, Far Niente and Opus One. Live jazz plays at dinner most nights. Still family-focused, brunch (a buffet) probably is the best deal around; it's wickedly popular, so if that's of interest, show up early.
