Summer is the perfect season to relax over lunch with a refreshing cocktail and fresh Northwest seafood. At Ray’s Cafe, you’ll find handcrafted seasonal drinks, delicious cuisine, and one of the best waterfront settings in the city. If you’re searching for a Seattle restaurant that combines incredible views with casual dining, Ray’s is the perfect place to unwind.

Our summer cocktail menu features two light, refreshing low-ABV favorites that are ideal for sunny afternoons.

Our Cafe Mint Moxie Spritz blends local Moxie Mule Bianco vermouth with house-made mint tea simple syrup, fresh lemon, and a splash of soda over ice. Crisp, herbaceous, and refreshing, it’s a wonderful match for oysters, crab, or any of our fresh seafood specialties.

For those who love a classic, the Aperol Spritz delivers bright citrus flavor with Aperol, sparkling wine, and a splash of soda. Light, bubbly, and easy to sip, it’s the perfect companion to a leisurely lunch overlooking Puget Sound.

Low-ABV cocktails have become a favorite for daytime dining because they offer balanced flavor and a lighter way to enjoy a handcrafted drink. Whether you’re gathering with friends, celebrating a special occasion, or simply taking a break from your day, these cocktails pair beautifully with Ray’s Cafe’s seasonal lunch menu and fresh Pacific Northwest seafood.

Of course, the drinks are only part of the experience. Ray’s Cafe has long been known as a premier waterfront restaurant, where every table offers spectacular views of Shilshole Bay and the Olympic Mountains. From the first sip to the last bite, guests enjoy an unforgettable combination of fresh seafood, warm hospitality, and breathtaking scenery.

Whether you’re a Seattle local or visiting the city, Ray’s Cafe is the perfect Seattle restaurant for casual lunches, afternoon cocktails, and memorable meals by the water. Join us this summer for refreshing cocktails, fresh seafood, and the relaxed casual dining experience that has made Ray’s a waterfront favorite for generations.
