Raphael Restaurant - An Epicurean Experience. The Raphael’s charming atmosphere is enhanced by Executive Chef Peter Hahn's creative continental cuisine. Hahn’s innovative menu features sumptuous nouvelle American fare, a playful mix of style and cuisines that includes beef, seafood, lamb, poultry and vegetarian dishes, artfully presented and complemented by a world-class wine selection. His famous rack of New Zealand lamb is a menu favorite, as are pan-fried oysters served with cheesy grits, a Belgian slaw made with white endive and tossed with apple, mint, walnut and pumpkin seeds, and Tuscan rib-eye with roasted tomatoes. And The Raphael’s chocolate mousse is Kansas City’s guilty pleasure!

Raphael Restaurant - A Feast for the Senses. The Raphael’s artistic Continental fare is enhanced by themed four-course, prix-fixe dinners with winepairing options. Consistently selected one of Kansas City’s most romantic dining sites, The Raphael becomes even moreso on Thanksgiving night, when Kansas City’s famed Plaza lights illuminate the streets. Dining at The Raphael is a ritual for Kansas Citians who come to enjoy a magnificent meal and the Plaza’s festive atmosphere with friends during the Season of Lights.
