The Raymond
Reviews
The Raymond is now my favourite place in Guelph. The new renovations look amazing, such an awesome atmosphere. Plus, their new summer menu has tons of selection and dishes with actual local ingredients. An ideal destination if you're 25+, especially Fri/Sat nights.
If it weren't for the Groupon discount it would have not been a great deal. The food is somewhat pretentious as in you pay for something that just isn't up to standard for the price in my opinion. It was still okay although I probably won't go back.
Brought my Girlfriend here for her birthday on the Wednesday night Date night deal. Great atmosphere, Great service. I had the Chicken which was delicious, She had the 3 Way Seafood. The Scallops had a little too much char for our liking but the sole and salmon were well cooked. The Calamari Frites were amazing as well. For dessert we had the Chocolate fondue. Delicious minus the under ripe melon and bitter grapes. Will return for another Date Night.
Went in on a whim after many years since last visit and happy to say these guys have upped their game. Food had a bit more thought put in it and service wasn't as contrived. So, great service and food. Fast too. Had a nice duck confit with crispy kale, finished with a ginger bread creme brulée. Also, nice to eat in a spot with s p a c e .
Made a reservation first thing in the morning only to be called back at 4:30pm to be told they were fully booked. Didn't appreciate being hung out to dry that when I'm planning a special evening ! Cant tell you anything about the food or service - don't intend to in the future.
