Ray’s In The City is moving forward with plans to overhaul its interior.
Last week a building permit application was filed with the City of Atlanta to renovate the 10,400-square-foot downtown restaurant in its entirety.
A spokesperson for parent company Ray’s Restaurants—Ray’s on The River, Ray’s at Killer Creek—Tuesday confirmed the news in an email to What Now Atlanta.
Plans include “refacing” Ray’s In the City with updated décor and furniture, adding a wooden chef’s table with “views of the kitchen,” and expanding the private Wine Cellar room and the bar.
The changes will cost an estimated $750,000.
Bill Johnson of Johnson Studios is designing the new look which should be completed by fall 2018.
The interior renovations at Ray’s In The City—originally planned in 2015—follow an exterior overhaul that was completed in 2013 in conjunction with the restaurant’s 10-year anniversary.
It’s unclear if the restaurant will remain open during construction.

Can’t imagine how they’re going to successfully control that.
I also wonder how many customers are gonna want to dive right in to a place like that at this point.
Good luck PCM!
I am ready to shop, be in parks…wherever at my own risk.
I wear a mask, wash my hands and do not touch anything.
I am glad business that can reopen with CDC guidelines can reopen.
I believe common sense will keep a person safe.
Happy Thursday
Amen. Staying safe in public is very simple, the trick is that keeping your hands clean and not touching your face is easier said than done. That’s the real benefit of wearing a mask — it reminds you not to touch your mouth/nose/eyes.
Similarly, the data is overwhelmingly clear that younger/healthier people have virtually no risk to themselves, the trick is protecting the vulnerable people they interact with.
A little (Swedish) common sense will go a long way towards healing our society.
Wait I thought Sweden has the most deaths per capita in Europe.?.?
Whatever the case may be, I’m guessing the Swedes have more compassion and common sense than some random bubba from the USA.
I think Sweden only has the highest deaths per capita at this time, not overall. That article was based on a 7-day moving average. There is also an argument – and I have no ability to gauge how valid it is or is not – that a certain amount of deaths is inevitable from this virus, countries only have the ability to affect the timeline on which they occur. Sweden chose to front-load the impact in order to minimize the impact to the economy. And given the emerging information about how damaging a bad economy can be to people’s health (increased mental disorders and suicides, for example), that may actually be the scenario with less overall suffering.
I completely agree. We know enough about this virus now to stay safe while engaging in MOST activities that we normally do. Now it’s completely up to people to actually do those things.
sounds like fun
wow, goodluck PCM
