I've visited Ratafia on multiple occasions & each time the service has been attentive & thorough. The food has always been of great quality & every dish is an adventure made of flavors you had not imagined went well together. My favorite dessert is Cheese, in all its iterations it has been delicious though I do want to try again the one that had an olive oil emulsion sauce & chamomile (from 2022). I wish the best to the cooks & staff of this wonderful restaurant!

Delicious menu. Of the 6 dishes in the tasting menu 3 were dessert which may or may not be your thing. Extremely small portions so would be ideal if you are having a few alcoholic drinks- without drinks I felt a bit hungry after several courses which has never happened to me with a tasting menu. Still the food was great & it wasn't THAT expensive for the work that goes into the food. Will go back

Very impressed with this place! We tried the arctic char, cavatelli, & duck. All were superb & would highly recommend. The cavatelli was a little salty, but this could come down to personal preference.

The physical space is what you first notice, the art deco decor, soft lighting & great music all beckon you to come in. Ordering wine is a trip across the wine world, through the extremely knowledgeable sommelier. His stories of wine regions are captivating. We chose to come for dessert paired with wine. Not only is the presentation artful but the taste is out of this world. The combinations of original ingredients , those of which you would not expect to eat together, make sense after the first bite. We were blown away. I can hardly wait to return for dinner next time.

Magnifique découverte! Nous avons choisi le menu découverte qui est une véritable aubaine. Les plats sont tous délicieux (les asperges & les pâtes à la morille : wow!) & les portions très généreuses! Les desserts sont tout aussi délectables! Le service est impeccable. Un peu bruyant pour un souper romantique, mais autrement, c'est un 10/10 & j'y retournerais sans aucune hésitation!

L'ambiance & le style sont très sophistiqués! Le service chaleureux & impeccable! Nous avons toutefois été déçues par les entrées, qui manquaient de goût, mais ça s'est bien rattrapé aux plats principaux & surtout aux DESSERTS qui étaient excellents!
