Great first time experience! The calamari as an appetizer was very good and flavorful. I got the angus prime rib, which was way too much to finish, but it was very good. My husband got the ribeye which was a tad too crispy for his liking, but it was still delicious. We also ordered a side of mashed potatoes and mac and cheese, and they were sooo good. Our server was very professional and attentive! Also, shoutout to the hostess, Grace, for complimenting me and my outfit! she also took pictures of us outside afterwards. Thank you for taking your time to make sure our night out was memorable.

Last night we met others for a birthday dinner. Arrived at 6, ordered about 6:20 and received our meal an hour later. One of the meals was a steak filet which was dry as a piece of leather and not warm. Another was a pasta dish and the shrimp wasn’t cooked throughout and the pasta was cold. Another was the same with chicken, not cooked throughout and cold pasta. One of the kids had a burger and it was ok. I was completely disappointed in the mediocrity of the kitchen. The steak must have been cooked some, taken off the grill and left to sit until other meals were ready and then put back on the grill. For the price that was charged this is not right. This is the last time I will eat there. I understand good food takes time but an hour waiting is a long time and the restaurant was not at all packed, now I understand why. The waitress we had was wonderful and none of this was her fault. Blame goes on the kitchen staff. Something needs to be done with that staff or more and more people will stay away. Those three meals were taken off the bill and the waitress said she would let the manager know but they never came to our table. That tells me management doesn’t care.

The service is SLOW, but the food is GOOD. Maybe it’s worth the wait, but one hour of waiting for food still sounds lengthy. My friends and I still had a great time.

My family and I had a nice brunch here! The restaurant is beautiful and overlooks the Lake. Our server was very friendly and attentive with our large party of 14.I tried their Migas and their French Toast. Both were excellent and had large portions. The Migas had a nice salsa that came with it, and the French Toast was so indulgent.They had bottomless mimosas and Bellinis which were fun. We'd love to return next time we're in the area!

I had no plans to go to Raffa's until I was already there, and oh, was I delighted. The ambiance is refined, and the staff is pleasant. The location on the lake is wonderful, and the food was amazing!Parking is a bit of a challenge in this whole area, and there are few dedicated parking spaces, which is a design flaw of the entire area.

What can I say about Raffas? Well, let me start by saying that the ambiance is absolutely incredible! The food is absolutely top-notch, and the service is simply outstanding! I recently hosted a Meet & Greet brunch for a group of lovely ladies, and from the very first phone call to make reservations, Crissie (apologies if the spelling is incorrect) was there to assist me every step of the way. Despite several seating changes leading up to the brunch, Crissie remained incredibly helpful and attentive from beginning to end. I had the opportunity to decorate our table as I saw fit and it came out beautiful! I cannot express enough how truly wonderful the experience was for all the ladies in attendance. And I have to give credit where credit is due - Raffas made me look like an absolute ROCKSTAR! But truth be told, it is your amazing staff who are the true Rockstars! I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for an absolutely amazing Holiday Brunch! Rest assured, we will most definitely be back for more incredible experiences at Raffas!

Just dined for the second here and the first time two years was excellent! Tonight…, geezzzz my meal was great ( pork chop ) but a friend had a ribeye that was awful. Grisly and tough. We were so disappointed in the service and with all the places to eat, probably will not go back. Our salad plates were never removed and the young man struggled on where to place our entrees!!plus the manager was there and never said a word!! Drinks we had to wait… very unhappy with our dining experience! Think twice about going to this restaurant to eat!!

I love going to Raffa’s on Fridays after work to see Jay! I’ve been coming for two years now and he is legitimately the best bartender in Kingwood. His espresso martini is the best I have had and I do a good amount of traveling. All the servers are amazing and friendly! I have never had a bad thing on the menu, but you have to try the pork chops! Great place, great food, and great service!

I love Raffa's. This was my first time dining there. The food was excellently prepared by the chef. The service was on point. We never had to wait for assistance. Who does not like eating near a waterway. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a chance. I plan to go for the Sunday Brunch.
