T-Ray’s offers a variety of steaks and burgers as well as scallops, escargot and poutine. There’s also a tapas menu exclusively available at the restaurant’s bar, with snacks and small plates to munch on alongside a drink.

The restaurant is hiring in advance of its opening, a date which has not yet been announced. Interested applicants can send in a resume online or apply in person at Oyster Bay Seafood Cafe.
