First time dinner visitor and I will say it was a pleasant experience. I went in for a quick bite and ordered the Ahi Tuna. The... tuna was fantastic and definitely something I would order again. Read more

Very good American style restaurant in downtown Westminster MD. Pretty large lunch menu. Burger very good with many add on... options. Teriyaki shrimp stir fry was done very well (a little on the spicy side). BBQ chicken was excellent. Portions verynice for lunch. Good drink menu. No real parking, need to use metered lots nearby. Waitstaff very friendly. Definitelyrecommend. Read more
Today we had a baby shower for my daughter in law at Rafael’s! Everything was fantastic! It was so simple and convenient... from the scheduling, menu planning up to the day of the shower, Rafael and his staff knocked it out of the park. Everyone wassuper friendly and very attentive, the food was outstanding (and plenty of it). It was a great day and I highly recommend youcheck them out. Stop in for lunch or dinner or consider having your next gathering or event there! Read more
I would give 10 Stars if I could! You have to go and see the new renovations. The place looks amazing and the food is so good. I... recently had the Hot Italian and my husband had the Salmon BLT. Both were great and the hand cut fries were off the chart. Wehad an order of the Bang Bang Shrimp to start and they were BANGING! They also have a raw bar attached to the main bar, so ifyou are into Raw Oysters this is the place for you. The staff really makes you feel welcomed and our server couldn't have beenany nicer. During our meal the owner came by to make sure we were happy with everything. All around great experience from startto finish. So excited to go back! Read more
Since re-opening in October of 2022, I've eaten here close to 10 times. Sometimes I just stop in for an appetizer and a drink... and other times for a full meal with my wife. The new artwork and interior changes only add to the enhanced menu full of freshadditions. Service is excellent and the food is outstanding. The Oyster raw bar is a nice touch and there is a terrificselection of both premium and rail liquor. The menu includes options for those with dietary restrictions. The new white,ultra-leather stools at the bar and chairs in the dining room are SUPER comfy and classic in design. I know that's an odd thingto focus on, but how many times have you sat in a chair or stool in a bar or restaurant that was uncomfortable and yourattention is focused on that instead of the cuisine?

I actually love this place. But the night of December 6, 2022 I was served a disgusting burger very over cooked, and my fries... must have been old fries reheated in the fryer. I literally could not eat my meal. Usually the burgers & fries are fantastic atthis place. The waitress was very nice, however, she also commented that my burger wasn't what I ordered. My husband 's tacoslooked great. (It was toco Tuesday). Needless to say nothing was done. We paid for the whole meal. Maybe we should have beenmore insistent with the waitress. I just think the restaurant should be aware that the Tuesday night cook was too lazy to cooka medium burger and fresh hot fries. My fries were literally cold fries reheated in the fryer. I couldn't eat any of it. Also,I think if even your waitress agrees that your meal is wrong you should not be charged. Or the waitress should tell the cookthat the order was incorrect before serving it to the customer. I am disappointed that this happened & I wonder what happenedto the quality of this business.
