Why You'll Love It

Land. Water. Vegetable. Don’t let the simplicity of Raphael’s menu fool you. Spain, the Far East, Santa Barbara, and more come together on your plate in a whirlwind of flavor.

Citrus and lemongrass dress up the New Zealand snapper with Oriental trappings. The prime New York steak—accompanied by crispy mushrooms, potato, gruyere, red wine, and mustard—adds French depth to the American staple.

You may be enjoying an evening out in Studio City, but your taste buds are taking a trip around the world.
