An intimate all-day kitchen and bar inspired by the diverse Californian food scene and the “less is more” beachside lifestyle, Graffiti Raw offers the rich coastal flavors of Mexico, the Big Sur region, the Mediterranean, and more. With only a handful of raw dishes, Graffiti Raw’s name comes from the “raw” creativity, originality, and inclusivity of street art – reflected in the approachability of its menu – presenting high quality ingredients in a “raw,” relaxed package. Whether you stay for 30 minutes or for 3 hours, our selection of salads, pastas, proteins, crudos, tartares, caviar, frozen + craft cocktails, natural wines, sake, ice cold beer, and cold-pressed juices will transport you to a getaway state of mind – and keep you coming back for more.

Complimentary valet parking available. Due to capacity limitations, we are unable to accept parties of 5+ on Thurs, Fri, & Sat nights. For parties of 5+ looking to dine Sun-Wed or before 4pm Thurs-Sat, please email info@graffitiraw.com.

Excellent food and very good service. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Houston. Only down side is the extremely loud music making it nearly impossible to hold a conversation. In spite of our request to reduce the volume a bit, it remained still very high.

My 3rd or 4th time to the restaurant. Introduced a friend that had never been. Everything was excellent. The tuna over crunchy rice appetizer is really amazing but portion is small and I am always wanting more. Had their Very Green soup for the first time and it was very good. This spot remains high on my go to places.

This was our second visit. The food was good, but I was dissatisfied with my 6 raw oysters as there were really only 5. One was poorly shucked and had almost no meet left. The service was attentive. But the overall music and ambient noise made it unpleasant. Next time, weather permitting, we will need to eat outside.

The manager(Lauren) is heaven sent. The bartender(Audrey) is a piece of pie!! The sweetest, and the food is OUTSTANDING. Went for lunch & dinner because we couldn’t stay away. 10/10 recommendation. The ambience, the aesthetic, & the BATHROOM!! Definitely going back, and booking my special occasions here.

We had a great time. Food was delicious. Service was prompt. We took a little time deciding and our server (I can’t recall her name) was sweet and patient with us while we made our selections. Always a good job well done.

First time visiting - made reservations and arrived promptly on time. Despite the reservations, we waited at least 30 mins to be seated. Once sat, the server was pleasant. The food was good, drinks were good and overall atmosphere was fun and lively. It was busy but the restaurant wasn't as loud as you'd imagine. Tator tots and caviar as an appetizer wasn't what we imagined, it was more like chips and caviar. The beet salad was decent, not the best. Ordered the catch of the day and the fish was cooked well done but it wasn't soft. Overall - everything was good but not great. I'd visit again to try other items on the menu.

The restaurant was so loud everybody was yelling. We could not hear our waiter, I had to ask him to repeat themselves multiple times. Every single conversation that we had. The food was pretty bad. The chairs were really uncomfortable to sit in.

Great food, portions not Texas size; patio music much lower than inside. Very loud inside so we ate out. Excellent sweet potato fries. Avocado w crab very good and for me it was enough after the shared fries A friend liked his burger A salmon special dish was good but not special Two other dishes were enjoyed

We brought one of our Italian friends, who proclaimed that this was the best pasta he has had in the United States, in the last 28 years! So if that’s not a glowing endorsement, I don’t know what is! Keep up the delightful work!

The service was great, they actually looked like they were happy to be there. I’ve missed that going out the dinner these days. Food was super, if you don’t like garlic, linguini and clams may not be good for you. The shrimp ajo was great. Octopus, also out of this world.

The food and service are fantastic. The music is so loud it is hard to hear the server and the other people in your party. As a result the people around you also are loud just trying to communicate with each other. I’ve been twice and this was my experience both times. I was hoping it would be different. Sad face
