"All the Ray’s restaurants (on the River, in the City, at Killer Creek) would make the Atlanta Restaurant Hall of Fame, but the original 1984-established Sandy Springs location would be our first ballot pick. Sitting on a picturesque bank of the Chattahoochee (not all riverside views are created equal), Ray’s on the River is an always-dependable choice for an upscale seafood and steak meal. From Sunday brunch to dinner, it’s never not busy—with industry folks, date nights, retirees, and folks taking three-hour cocktail lunches. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - demarco williams, nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
