What Tansy W likes about Rafael's:
Food was stupendous. Each course delicious. Service perhaps slightly too attentive if anything. Hard to get the balance right but authentic interactions work best every time. Lovely mellow NYE atmosphere. I look forward to a return.. View all feedback. What arroma1990 doesn't like about Rafael's:
The Beetroot salad, Wild sea bass, crown prince, and Green salad were all beautifully prepared. The Goat cheese with salsa verde was tasty. However, the Baked potato was nothing extraordinary. The staff was lovely and the prices were fair. View all feedback.

read moreNestled in a historic goods shed, this restaurant offers a unique dining experience with its emphasis on local produce. Diners rave about beautifully prepared dishes like beetroot salad and wild sea bass, praising the attentive and friendly service. While some highlights include a phenomenal damson gin and delicious scallops, a few dishes fell short, such as an overly salty partridge and a lackluster baked potato. The ambiance is inviting, especially during festive occasions, though service inconsistencies and high prices for certain items may dampen the experience. Overall, it stands out as a lovely spot for casual lunches and special dinners alike.
