Wonderful little place with European bakery setup upfront and lovely upscale dining room in the back. Small menu but delicious menu choices. Nice wines. Good service.

Came here for brunch and it was such a delight. Our waiter had the perfect amount of helpful to leaving us alone balance. The food was delicious. There was a leek vinaigrette dish with hazelnuts and ricotta (I think). It’s an absolute must try.. we ordered another portion it was so good and I ate it with the onion bun which went really well with it. Also the pastries were all great. Mu friends loved the orange almond croissant. I had the tuna Niçoise salad - very tasty and fresh. I tried a bite of the burger and it might be the best bite of burger I’ve ever had. I’m not a huge burger fan usually as I find the patties not to be well seasoned or that flavorful. This one was perfectly cooked and melted in the mouth.I have no complaint or suggestion. Just a fantastic place.
RAF's I my new favorite restaurant. They just got everything right. Beyond the food, the decor is impeccable, the vibe is just right and you leave feeling good inside. Also, if you're lucky enough to have Pheobe as your server you're in for a treat. She's a little ray of sunshine.

What a wonderful experience for breakfast today. Soft scrambled eggs and sourdough toast, and get the sausage on the side. Exquisite!

Didn’t have my reservation but the host was kind enough to get us a seating at the bar with 15 min. I’d have to say bar service wasn’t that great and took so much longer to serve pastry’s and coffee which is just right in front of us. Definitely coming back for the kumquat tart and gotta try the olive oil cake.

Small, but nicely decorated spot. There’s a bar as well.Personally I felt this was an average spot- the food was good, nothing memorable. I’d have to say it’s pricy for the quality and the experience. Drinks are roughly $20 and taste like they can be made at your neighborhood bar. I wouldn’t come back for dinner.

Beautiful space. Service mediocre. Burger, excellent flavor - one of the best dipping sauces in Manhattan - served a bit too rare for my liking. Would ask for this one medium personally. Overall it's a go.
One of the coziest and most amazing restaurants in NYC! Food and staff are incredible- I would come here at least once a week if it were easier to book :)

Had an incredible lunch at Raf’s yesterday. From the perfectly citrusy Tardivo (make sure to get the sauce on the bottom with every bite!) to the crusted Iberico Collar Milanese and melt-in-your mouth Dry-Aged Beef Burger (listen to chef and get it medium rare), and closing with the most delicious olive cake - our service and experience was truly exceptional.

Very very good service 10/10All staff so attentive and professionalChestnut ravioli was 9.5/10Mafaldine pasta with pork cheeks and cabbage was 9/10Bread basket was 8/10 it was good but not to die for nothing special.Roasted half chicken 7/10 I'm not crazy about how its not crispy on the outside. The inside was tender but also the bones in the thigh and drumstick area were kinda pink and bloody. I can't enjoy chicken if the bone part is still bloody and same time the meat just Luke warm. I just can't personally enjoy that.
