This restaurant is amazing! I went there last night for the first time. Food was delicious and very well presented, decor of the place was beautiful, warm and welcoming. Our waiter Francisco was incredibly friendly and experienced! My friend and I had an amazing time and will definitely return. Would strongly recommend 🙂! If I could describe this place in one simple sentence, I would say this: Fancy restaurant with yummy food and without the snobby attitude! Muchas gracias!

10/10 Best food I've ever tasted. It was so good, like heaven in a dish. I over ordered but I still ended up eating everything because it was so good.

I've been to the restaurant before. While it was packed for a Monday night, there was not enough staff to handle a full restaurant. Drinks were very slow, had to repeat multiple times asking for sharing utensils and plates in between courses.

Unique experience for those who never had Peruvian food. The service was friendly and the food was tasty and presented with elegance. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the ambiance on a Tuesday evening was great. It is pricey but worth the money spent if you are having dinner with interesting people.

Overall extremely positive experience. The food was spectacular. So was the presentation. I would have preferred the music to be slightly quieter (that's just me though) but the choice of music was pleasant. We will definitively go back. I highly recommend.

The experience at Raphael's was like no other. There were a variety of beautifully balanced flavours and complex dishes. Each bite we absolutely decadent. Nice ambience with top notch and enthusiastic attentive service. Everyone was very warm and welcoming from the hostess, our server, and even back of house staff. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an elevated style of both service and fantastically curated food!

Incredible service and the food was phenomenal. I dont usually go to fancier places such as this but I was impressed all around. Wish I knew the servers name but if she sees this, thank you so much for the outstanding service and hospitality! My girlfriend and I were there on October 28th at 6:30pm, and left extremely happy with the whole experience. Honestly, wish we tipped the waitress more because she absolutely deserves it. Wishing all the chefs and waitresses well in the future. Thanks again for an incredible experience.

This was our second visit. We ordered the crab, the salad, and the scallops. The crab dish was fairly bland and short on crab. The salad was too acidic- heavy on lime juice? The scallops were overpowered by the smoky risotto. The fig cake for dessert had a tiny spoon of gelato, and was ok, but could not taste figs. The room is very noisy and we were cold. Expensive and hard to find parking ( we got a ticket).

We ordered lighter dishes such as ceviche and heavier dish such as duck and steak. I would have expected to be served with ceviche first, instead the dishes were served rather randomly.

First time ever. I do not usually complain about price because I do not mind paying for good quality food. Price is way too high $17 for a glass a wine, $29 for a crab dip with two very small pieces of crab with a lot of mayo and a purée of something, $48 for a so so risotto with 3 scallops that did not taste fresh! Come on, how can we share 3 scallops when we are 2! I am sorry but we will not be back there. Although our server was very nice. The steaks brochette was really chewy but seasoned well. Overall did not enjoy the meal for over $150. We will bring our appetite somewhere else.
Great experience, amazing food from mocktails to main dishes to dessert, every item is a work of art, bursting with flavours. Highly recommend this place.

Delicious and interesting new type of food for me. Presentation was superb and service was excellent.

We all loved our food, and not a single bite was left on anyone's plate. As a picky, nervous eater, I enjoyed my salad and was able to add a protein without issue. We had the flan for dessert and it was excellent!

Servers were very friendly and professional. They answered any questions clearly and were able to help menu selection for one of our group with allergies. Orders came in a timely manner and each item exceeded expectations. All in all a fine evening.
