When we have stayed at The Ray, the rooftop experience was delightful and easy. Since moving to the area, we do not go as often and must be more mindful to plan ahead. That being said: 1) it is worth the effort and 2) the team running the rooftop bar and restaurant is sky high stellar. They are the loveliest people. Smart, welcoming, accommodating, friendly. The food and drinks are great, the setting is unlike anything else in DB. But mostly it is a joy bc of the atmosphere, which is carefully curated by this wonderful group of young staff people. Truthfully, if you were starting a company and wanted it to be a success, you'd just hire them all. But please don't! Let it stay perfect.

First timer at this beautiful roof top bar, upon arriving the hosts were absolutely wonderful! The fun started when we were approached by nick the server his personality was upbeat and refreshing as what our party needed! Extremely funny and had great recommendations on food and drinks! Will be back for him!!!!!

We came for happy hour and were surprised by how big the portions were! We were expecting little apps but we were full after 3 picks from the HH Menu (from 3-6pm). Great service, fun atmosphere, rooftop vibes, and good food! I'm definitely coming back to try the frozen espresso martini and the char grilled oysters!

Chic rooftop bar in downtown Delray on top of The Ray hotel. I came here to enjoy a cocktail and some conversation with my husband before we went to a show. Definitely plan on coming back to try the food and to come for the Dj on the weekends.

I'm typically not a fan of hotel restaurants, but Rosewater Rooftop was surprisingly good. The char-grilled oysters and lobster quesadilla were both exceptional. Drinks and service were solid. Great option for a convenient lunch or dinner when staying at the Delray Beach hotel. 3.5 stars

Super cute rooftop bar and restaurant with a pool as well. The hotel itself is adorable and picture pefect and the rooftop is even cuter. There is plenty of comfortable seating outdoors. I had a leeching martini that was delicious and my friend ordered a Cuban Caesar and I had the burger. Both were very good. The only downfall was the money wasn't very large and they needed a bit more help. We just was super friendly and was doing her best. Would love to come back at night.

Excellent table service, bar service was very slow, understaffed. We arrived for Happy Hour and order the Mediterranean Mezze (very good), Bang bang Schrimp, very good. The Smoked fish dip, was very spicy spicy spicy 3 Passion fruit Margaritas and a Tangerine Twist. Decent ambience. Overall a good experience.
