We were a party of four who dined at Ray's last Saturday night. The service was impeccable throughout (our waitress even managed to move us to another table, away from cold draughts as the front door opened and closed). The food and wine were excellent as was the ambiance. Just perfect, thank you - we'll definately be back!

Fantastic food, service, and ambiance. Even on a cold January evening, it was packed! The team at Ray's are superb and always do it properly and go overabove to ensure you have the best time! Highly recommended.

I will start this review on a positive note. We booked back in mid November for brunch on Christmas Eve. We had a lovely brunch served by lovely and friendly staff. Ray’s is always a favourite with us and the food and service cannot be faulted. However, we were very disappointed by the attitude of one member of staff upon our arrival. All was fine when we were shown to our ‘reserved’ table. The problem was our table was right by the door and, although we had initially accepted this placing, it became clear once we were seated that it was draughty and customers at the counter were bumping into the back of my seat. Another table nearby became available and we asked to be moved. The smiles of welcome disappeared to replaced by a very abrupt response as if we were being a nuisance, not a paying customer. Some muttering of “being busy” and “I have my bookings to look after” and “I’ll have to check” were directed at us until we pointed that we had booked back in November! Only then were we told that “we could be fitted in on a table at the back of the restaurant”. This area turned out to be nearly empty all the time we were there. This table was fine, in a cosy corner. Christmas music playing in the background. I do not like having to make negative comments about Ray’s Kitchen but this is not the first time there has been a problem. Our daughter and her husband went for a meal in late November and were greeted with a similar abrupt manner. I was going to have a word with the manager/owner but it turned out the abrupt person was the manager. Awkward!

5 of us had a beautiful meal at Ray’s on Tuesday 5th December. My sister in law has mobility issues and the staff could not have been more helpful. We all agreed that Rays is the best Italian restaurant for miles around!Wheelchair accessibility: Staff quickly adjusted seating with sensitivity
We always head for Ray’s whenever we’re in the New Forest - we live 60 miles away or we’d be there every week! Tonight we enjoyed the prawn spaghetti and the meat ragu (which I had with spaghetti rather than pappardelle) - both delicious. I really wanted the bean and pasta soup as a starter too but I knew I’d never manage both. Great food, friendly service and a lovely atmosphere - well worth a visit!

There are many good Italian restaurants in our area but Rays is exceptional and although we actually live over in Christchurch it is well worth the travel. Special lunch menu highly recommended.

Ten of us (7 adults 3 children) took the private room for big birthday celebration. Everything was tip top and the 3 hours was time well spent.

The food here is really very good, full of flavour and a good choice of both drinks and dishes.
