Raffa's American Bistro is the first restaurant to open in the King's Harbor Waterfront Development located in Kingwood, Texas. Kingwood, also known as the Livable Forest, is part of the Houston Metropolis and is conveniently located near George Bush International Airport and downtown Houston. Raffa's stylish architecture and design, urban energy, and the New American cuisine appeal to a diverse suburban crowd.

Raffa's features American favorites with culinary influences from Europe, Asia, the Southwestern states, as well as fresh Gulf seafood. The dining room accommodates 160 patrons. There are an additional 40 patio seats along the lake. The award-winning Bennett Design Group of Houston helped create an interior that gives the restaurant an unprecedented look in Northeast Houston. The interior is spacious with soaring ceilings and 12 foot windows that overlook the water and the plaza. The design features an open kitchen that energizes the bar area which also overlooks the water and has seating for thirty patrons. The private wine room can be reserved for parties of ten or less. The dining room has an area that can be designated for private parties up to fifty people and features a beautiful 30 foot granite buffet which can be used for appetizer receptions or a full dinner buffet. Daily "chef" specials are intriguing and Sunday Brunch is offered from 11 AM to 2 PM weekly.

Raffa's is owned and operated by Tony and Leslie Raffa along with chef/partner David Welch.

The Raffa's bring family tradition and over 50 years of restaurant experience to their new "Bistro".

Chef David Welch ( a Texas native ) was trained in Paris at the Cordon Bleu and is the Executive Chef and Director of Operations at Raffa's. Chef Dave, as he is affectionately known, graduated first in his class and was the recipient of the "Gran Diplome Le Cordon Bleu."

We look forward to serving you in the near future!

Cin Cin!
