Most restaurant content only shows the plate. At Ray's in Yaletown, the room deserves a shot too, with exposed brick, greenery, and a full-length bar that looks great on camera. Approved Relishers receive a comped meal for two: a shared appetizer, two signature mains, a shared dessert, and two handcrafted cocktails.
Ray's opened this spring in the old Yaletown Distillery space, right across from Yaletown-Roundhouse Station. It's built to go from day to dinner to dark, and the menu of comfort food and playful cocktails is priced for any budget. The year-round patio means there's a good seat even when the weather turns.

Mood: warm and relaxed, a room worth filming as much as the food.
Do

Get close on the food and cocktails: pours, cheese pulls, first bites.
Get a shot of the menu prices and the year-round patio.
Don't
Don't film an empty room, even if you visit during a slow afternoon.
Do not use copyrighted music.
Ideas to get you started
Start wide on the full-length bar, then cut to your first cocktail pour.
Pan across the brick and greenery before your food arrives.
Ask your server which cocktail they'd order, then order it on camera.
Split the shared dessert and give your honest first-bite reaction.
Show the menu prices, then the full spread on your table.
