   We had the most wonderful dinner celebrating my wife’s birthday. The food, ambience and service were all amazing. We will definitely be going back!

   Not sure I would describe the loudness as energetic, it was too loud to enjoy a conversation with my guest. Definitely a younger/hip crowd. Food was good, small portions. They seem to lack servers compared to the number of diners. Everyone seemed harried.

   Honestly, the best dining experience in downtown Manhattan. Staff, amazing. Food, delicious. Diet Coke, crispy and cold. Owners, hot. 10/10 highly recommend. Bring your family. Bring a lover and conduct an affair. Have a besties dinner. Whatever the occasion, RAF’s is well suited and well appointed.

   RAF’s is a neighborhood gem, perfect for a dinner date, special occasion or just to satisfy hunger or a regular weekday evening. The food is spectacular. The menu is creative and inspired. The food is plated suberbly and our cocktails and wine were equally delicious. Waitstaff at RAF’s are courteous and knowledgeable about the menu’s dishes. The bar and restaurant are elegantly decorated. Dining at RAF’s is a real treat and I can’t wait to visit again soon.

   We were sitting at the bar at 8:30 on Sunday, and only two other couples were in the restaurant beside us. We were the only ones sitting at the bar, and it felt as if the staff wanted us to leave already. We sat on the left side of the bar, and the waitresses were polishing the glasses and closing everything, which made a lot of noise and made us feel unwelcome and like we had no privacy. The food was good as always, and we love this place, but it was an unpleasant experience this time.

   Loved our recent dining experience! The food was phenomenal and would go back for the ricotta and spaghetti anytime. It was a nosier restaurant, so be prepared to talk loudly but no complaints there.

   Really fun vibe! But we wish the off menu burger was available - we had a table and it was only available at the bar which was a bit of a bummer. All in all solid food - the half chicken was highly recommended but was a bit dry so would probably not have that again.

    Our evening started off fabulously. The food was excellent. The decor is charming. The music was wonderful. But as the restaurant filled up, our waiter abandoned us. Other servers filled in cheerfully, but since we were under a time constraint, we were unable to order dessert.
