    Food’s always delicious; service subpar this time - several mistakes and delays, and lack of situational awareness generally. Left without ordering dessert given delays experienced directly and witnessed happening to other customers seated nearby. Potential to be a top ten resto in Ottawa overall. Food’s already there (for me); service needs to catch up. Will return nonetheless.

    Delicious Valentine's experience. Everything was a delight including the music and the special Peruvian version of Tiramisu with a visit by the chef and owner. I'm not a fan of beef but the beef braised cheeks were soft and the sauce was hearty. All other dishes were filled with thoughtful, playful and melt-in-the-mouth flavour. The food was a set menu for this occasion and well worth the price. Wine is very expensive. A minor snag-the view is one of scaffolding and tarps as the building is under repairs but this will change in time. Temporary Signage is missing.

    This was our first time dining at Raphael and, with a set 4-course menu, we had no idea what to expect. For both my wife and I, we were very impressed by EVERYTHING, from the hostess to the servers, but especially the chef’s creations. It was a most excellent meal and we cannot wait to go back again…!

    The food was outstanding and the service top-notch, in a nicely decorated venue and intimate ambiance. A bit pricey but well worth it! We will 100% go again.

    The food was different, interesting but not necessarily extraordinary. Service was good and pleasant if somewhat slow. There did not appear to be enough staff for the amount of customers. That said, once our orders were taken we did not wait too long before the meal was served. The level of noise was very high. partly due to very high open ceilings (this site may have been a bank in a prior incarnation), certainly made worse by a large group of people sitting right next to us and having a grand time. One of our group has a very soft voice and we could not hear her most of the time. We are happy to have tried the restaurant. For us, it was worth going once, but not certain we would go back.
