Best Romantic Restaurants in Woodside

Great vibe, wonderful service and menu except for the Garlic Shrimp. It was deep fried to the point of being very dried out. You could taste the cooking oil and not much else. Not served with a dipping sauce or anything else. We also had a ground chicken dish that was excellent, as were the meatballs and the yellowtail. We let the server know about the shrimp so she could let others know that might order it since the restaurant is new. She mentioned that it was a common comment and took it off our bill which was above and beyond. Desserts were wonderful, we had a coffee something and a rainbow sherbet cake. We will be regulars!

The food and ambiance was over the top. Our meals were scrumptious! Each bite was a true pleasure. Can’t wait to return! The bathrooms were a bit of a disaster. Too many people without a pickup service. I mentioned it to the gentleman who was confirming guest reservations but he didn’t really care. Wine prices were a little ridiculous. But the meals and decor were 5 star! Thank you!!!

Food was AMAZING but service was painfully slow. We had to signal to our server multiple times.

The restaurant's location is unbeatable, with expansive windows framing Central Park. It feels as though the beauty of the park has been invited inside to complement the elegant, yet comfortable decor. The menu is outstanding and offers amazing cocktails. This restaurant is more than a dining spot—it's an experience. Perfect for a romantic dinner, celebratory brunch, or simply a treat for yourself, it checks every box. With its exceptional staff and unparalleled view of Central Park, it’s no wonder diners leave with full hearts and happy palates. Five stars, without question.

Raf's is such a gem! The food, service and ambience are the best of the best! I always love eating here!
