Rafael is a new restaurant on the Upper East Side serving delicious food, with recommended dishes like lamb, octopus, and natas. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, featuring an outdoor patio area in the back and an upstairs section for quieter dining. Service is described as kind and attentive, with friendly staff who ensure guests feel welcome. The ambiance is relaxed, clean, and neat, making it an inviting spot for those looking to enjoy a meal.
The brunch menu is especially popular, with many tasty and well-priced options available on weekends. Guests appreciate the attentive and friendly service, and while food can take a bit longer to arrive during busy times, the overall experience is enjoyable. Rafael is quickly becoming a favorite addition to the neighborhood, with many looking forward to returning for both dinner and brunch.
