Historic cottage setting with creative American plates and standout cocktails; excellent ambiance and many happy diners, but service pace and consistency wobble, especially on peak prix-fixe holidays.
Our take
The Raymond 1886 delivers solid neighborhood dining anchored by exceptional historic ambiance and garden patio plus excellent craft cocktails. However, inconsistent execution—variable steak temperatures, cold plates during busy service, and uneven seasoning—prevents a higher grade, while service pacing struggles on peak nights and holidays. Best experienced on leisurely regular evenings rather than high-pressure occasions.
One caveat: Service slows and seating delays on major holidays; plan buffer time
