As other reviews have noted, time of day is the deciding factor in your Ray's experience. Before 10pm, it's the first place I'd recommend in downtown Kent. After ten, the last place I'd recommend. The "late crowd" packs the place, to where there is nowhere to stand comfortably; forget about getting a single seat.
Food-wise, it's a step above standard bar fare, both in variety and execution. I've had a number of meals that were far better than they should have been, and the fries are the among the best in town. The selection of beers is staggering, The service is always competent, but nothing to rave about.
It's a fantastic choice for an early date, but a terrible choice for a nightcap.
