Ray's Gourmet Country: Premier Corporate Dining and Catering

Ray’s Gourmet Country offers a celebrated combination of first-rate, high-end cuisine and a community-oriented, neighborhood setting. An avid supporter of local farmers and growers, the restaurant is committed to serving seasonal and organic recipes in order to provide guests with the best quality possible.

Ray’s Gourmet Country provides meeting planners with three ways that they can enjoy the brand’s exquisitely prepared and great tasting cuisine. The restaurant features a spacious, yet, comfortable private dining room that can accommodate up to 50 guests, providing the perfect alcove for an exclusive event. Ray’s Gourmet Country is closed on Mondays and select holidays, but is available for private events when not open to the public. During these specific days, planners can use the entire restaurant for large-scale corporate functions and celebrations.

If planners have already committed to another venue or if the restaurant facility does not meet their event needs, then Ray’s Gourmet Country’s catering service company, Watercress, can bring their acclaimed menu to virtually any meeting space in the city. The staff at Watercress is dedicated to making each of their clients’ event planning dreams a reality. From a simple, intimate setup to an elaborate full-service event complete with wait staff, Ray’s Gourmet Country can help create unique events that will be remembered long after the last guest leaves.

What sets Ray’s Gourmet Country apart from other dining facilities and catering services is that they allow their clients maximum flexibility when it comes to putting together a personalized food menu. Clients do not have to use a pre-set menu. Instead, everything is customized and built from the ground up with the specific needs of each event in mind.

Owner Ray Salti and Chef Soren Pederson have made it a top priority to use local, organic and free-range products, adding a much more natural taste to every option on the menu. For example, fresh seafood is bought on a daily basis and the menu changes four times a year according to what ingredients are in season. The result is not only food that tastes better, but better pricing for planners and individual patrons alike.

The restaurant’s specialties include filet mignon, prime rib eye steak, chicken fried steak, slow roasted free-range pheasant and roasted duck breast. A comprehensive wine list provides a large selection of vintages to perfectly complement the enticing food menu.

Both Watercress and its parent restaurant have been cited by critics and patrons alike for their incomparable customer service and meticulous attention to detail. There’s no better way for meeting planners to show their clients that they matter than by incorporating a great dining facility and impeccable food into the event itinerary.
