Ray’s Boathouse

Located at the water’s edge in Ballard, critically acclaimed Ray’s Boathouse echoes the sleek lines and crisp corners of a vintage Chris-Craft. One of the most iconic Seattle restaurants, Ray’s Boathouse elevates fresh Northwest seafood delivering artfully composed plates with precision.

Everything we do is tied to the water… From our location atop Puget Sound to our humble beginnings as a bait shop and boat rental, to our direct relationships with fishermen who provide us the freshest locally caught fish, plump oysters, and tender crab legs.

Ray’s is a fixture in Northwest cuisine and synonymous with excellence. Bring your friends, family and visiting guests to Ray’s Boathouse for an unforgettable culinary experience at Seattle’s best seafood restaurant, whether in doors or on our seasonal Boathouse patio.
