Nestled on the Seattle waterfront in Ballard, critically acclaimed Ray’s Boathouse offers an elevated waterfront dining experience featuring fresh, sustainably sourced Pacific Northwest seafood. With thoughtfully prepared dishes, an extensive wine list, and breathtaking waterfront views of Puget Sound, it’s the perfect setting for intimate dinners, special occasions, and unforgettable moments.
Ray’s Boathouse dining room echoes the sleek lines and crisp corners of a vintage Chris-Craft. One of the most iconic Seattle seafood restaurants, Ray’s Boathouse elevates locally-sourced, fresh seafood delivering artfully composed plates with precision and stunning views.
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 fisherpeople who provide us the freshest PNW salmon, oysters, clams, halibut, Dungeness crab, and more.
