Raw

Great date night place! We were looking for a place to have dinner for our 14 years of marriage, but most of the restaurants closed at 9pm, so we decided to meet Raw and have a drink. We had a great night, we also ordered the table of meats and cheeses with all its ingredients, and a Thai ceviche, for my taste needed a little more lime, but everything else was very good! the spectacular drinks, we ordered grapefruit cahipirinha, whiskey, Rob Roy and Manhattan, all the cocktails very well presented

Very unique place in the downtown area. Awesome drink selection and superb Hors d’oeuvres. Anything on the menu is worth it. The place can get a little tight when busy. Waitstaff was welcoming but seemed to never have the same person wait on me and took a while to get served. Most focus seemed to be at the bar but I would still give this place a big thumbs up since my one experience may not be the norm.

It's ok... shrimp in the civiche was a bit chewy, and overall I didn't pick up any lime flavor. Hummus was fairly standard, but flavorful. Biggest surprise was that the hummus came with carrots and celery... Which I didn't realize. They did include a complementary sample of a edemame hummus that they are trying out. It was tasty but could have used a bit of acidity and some finishing salt would have added a nice pop. Kicker was when I asked for a box, server said they would have to run across the street to get one from a different restaurant...what? I think they really want the bar scene business.

I hope you take this as constructive criticism and not me bashing the place. Love the atmosphere, drink selections, apps, and specials from here. But something has to change with the service training. My wife and I used to come here often but the last multiple visits have shown us it’s best to stay away. Each visit we’ve not been greeted, but also just ignored for 10-20 minutes until someone comes over. When they do it feels like we’re an inconvenience to be there and there’s no energy in the whole bar behind the counter. To add to that, it’s clear that the bartenders don’t know their menu and it never seems that anyone is in charge. We hope this place can turn it around because we would love to start returning again. We’ll give it another shot in a few months hoping things have changed.
