So good! When you remove the obvious racist political posts, this place is 5 stars, fantastic food, service, and ambiance.

Jaffa Cocktail and Raw Bar is a hidden gem that delivers a vibrant mix of Mediterranean flavors and fresh seafood in a chic, laid-back setting. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm atmosphere and a menu that promises both creativity and quality.

The highlight of the experience is the raw bar—offering impeccably fresh oysters, tuna tartare, and crudo that taste like they were just pulled from the sea. Each dish is beautifully presented and balanced in flavor. One standout was the octopus with harissa aioli—tender, smoky, and with just the right kick.

Cocktail lovers will not be disappointed. Their drinks menu is inventive and refreshing. I tried the Jaffa Spritz, which paired perfectly with the seafood, and the house gin cocktail, which was aromatic and smooth.

Service is attentive but relaxed, making it a perfect spot for either a casual dinner or a special night out. Whether you’re a fan of raw seafood or just looking to explore bold, fresh Mediterranean-inspired dishes, Jaffa delivers on both taste and atmosphere.

Really cute date night or group spot. Enjoyed cocktails, appetizers and live jazz on the roof! Very cozy seating and atmosphere was perfect.

We always enjoy stopping by Jaffa for a drink before a late dinner. Live music from 7-10pm is a vibe, and it’s a great spot to bring parents or friends from out of town. Drink highlights would be the the Espresso Mar-tehina and Oaxaca on broken glass.

Thanks Jaffa team, and Joe Vanable and his band who was playing that night!

Really lovely outdoor space that’s blocked from wind and has heaters! The food was excellent, as were the cocktails.

Excellent food. Lovely roof atmosphere. Creative drinks. We had some live music as well. Ignore the hateful reviews below.

They appropriated nomadic cuisine from Falastine, added giant price tags, and didn't even make it kosher. I'd say that's very, very 'Israeli'. Might I suggest adding surveillance systems at every table perhaps a checkpoint with barbed wire at the door? Treyf.

The food is sooooo mid .. this is more like a distasteful pop up than a restaurant. The servers were nice but we have heard that the owners are extremely rude & hateful people. Terrible experience from start to finish.
