Had dinner during restaurant week. Great service. Loved the California vibes of the decor. Drinks and food were excellent! Can't wait to return. Favorites: pearl drink (think pina colada on the rocks); calamari appetizer is a must, crunchy and fantastic on its own or with sauces; dinner was ok nothing bad but nothing that made us want to come back for it; beet cake is an experience not sure if I liked it enough to have again but I didn't regret trying it (and I love beets).

This place was on my Houston Restaurant Week "to do" list. So of course we had to check it out and see what the hype was about. The food did not disappoint! They have a 4 course meal and I wish I would have taken more pics because they say the first 2 courses are half sized, but I was full before the main course arrived. But big boy is going to make space. I don't usually eat seafood but this place had me indulging in shrimp and crab fried rice, calamari, and even clams. All of the food was amazing. The service was exceptional and they even kept my son company while I ate. The chicken was delicious and crispy, a California twist on chicken Parmesan, but better. We enjoyed every bite. The interior design is simple, yet amazing, it gives feels of eating alongside blue water and I loved basking in the ambiance. I'll be back soon!

We came in for houston restaurant week and it did not disappoint! The service was amazing and attentive. The food was all brought out in good timing and everything was delicious. It was a little loud and the seating can feel cramped especially with a lot of the waiting parties waiting at the bar area. We felt like we had to shout

Food and Service was extraordinary. They provide a complimentary cocktail while you wait. Saturdays get packed so I'd recommend a reservation. I tried them out for HRW 24 so that may be why. Everything I ate was delicious. The chicken paillard was light yet filling though it was fried. Wasn't a BIG fan of the potatoes that accompanied it. The crab and shrimp fried rice had a fresh flavor. It was one of my faves. The calamari was ok. It was light and cooked well. I felt something was missing flavor wise and I think it was the sauce. I'm a sweet chili or aioli girl. For dessert I had the beet cake which was surprisingly yummy. I would go back to Graffiti Raw again but not on a weekend. One star was removed because we weren't seated for another 35 minutes after our reservation time. Restaurants typically cancel your reservation after a 15 minute grace period

Took my dear friend out to celebrate all her accomplishments based off recommendations from friends and I'm glad I listened! First off the service was amazing! From the general manager to our waitress Brittany... we were well taken care of! It was a Saturday evening and business was booming ! Even with how packed the establishment was, everyone was very attentive ! Drinks - we tried the barefoot in Barcelona, welcome to Miami of their summer spritz list and capped off with espresso martinis (tequila) ! Well crafted ! Food - we had a feast. Started off with the calamari, oysters, and garlic shrimp. The calamari was a bit over fried but still good. The stare of the apps was the shrimp... the sauce it is glazed in was perfection. We split the crab & shrimp fried rice and the steak frites! The rice is the star of the show! That girl! The steak was also well seasoned and we asked to pair it with the sauce the garlic shrimp was made in and it was amazing! For dessert we had the tres leches and did not disappoint. Overall ... please make your way here!

Came here on a weekday during happy hour. Waiter was great, knowledgeable and said all the items I ordered were good and he wasn't lying! Everything came out pretty fast, the ambiance was nice. Cute brunch spot, their decor so pretty too, lots of windows for a nice scenery. --Raw Oysters (5/5) - Refreshing! Not too briny and their from the East coast which are the smaller oysters. The smaller ones are always the better ones. --Chips and Caviar (5/5) - Nice little savory appetizer, chips with creme fraise and caviar that was not too briny. --Roasted Oysters (4/5) - Big gulf coast oysters. Good but not much flavor just a creamy crunchy texture. --Ceviche Combo (4/5) - Some were a bit fishy too me, but the sauce sort of steered me off the fishy ness. --Linguine Alla Vongole (4/5) - Creamy pasta with clams, the sauce was a bit too watery to my liking but it was still good. Hints of spiciness to it --Crab and Shrimp Fried Rice (5/5) - Very flavorful, reminds me of a Thai style fried rice but a better version. The basil, spiciness with some shrimp, crab, and they weren't shiesty on the eggs which is usually a problem to me. --The Jacy (5/5)- a spicy tequila drink that's right up my alley! Definitely coming back!
