“ Raffia is a Good restaurant. The service was very slow. Over 15min from ordering to drinks arrival. Then a long 50min wait for mains. Mains arrived sporadically. When I walked to the pizza oven enquire about the delay because my table had eaten their mains ; I noticed that the pizza oven was prioritizing the take out orders. I could barely see the ham on the pizza and the base was not cooked through. The location is peaceful and tropical. I would certainly return ”
