Rafina Greek Taverna - Greek restaurant in Boca Raton - 6877 SW 18th St, USA

Traditional Greek dishes & drinks offered in an upscale, relaxed space with a lakeside patio. Service was quick. Servers were attentive. Servings were big. We thought the pita with tzatziki, grilled squid, and Greek salad were excellent. Our entrees had more to be desired. My beef kebab was overcooked. It was rather chewy. The baked tilapia with the green beans was average at best. The appetizers were the star. We’d definitely come back for that.

Came here a couple days ago to try something new, and it was completely worth it. Food was delicious, staff was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is great overall. Very welcoming place, I would love to come here again!

Last night we dined at Rafina Greek Taverna, and it was a fantastic experience. The portions were generous, and the flavors were outstanding. The chicken and lamb chops were cooked to perfection, and I couldn’t get enough of the chargrilled octopus appetizer—it was definitely my favorite. If you’re looking for authentic Greek cuisine, this place is a must-visit!

This restaurant never disappoints. My husband does not like crowds, so we go off peak hours. We have the place to ourselves. The food is the best! Greek salad with anchovies, divine. Beef kebobs, spectacular.

The server took 15 minutes to acknowledge our readiness for service, despite the restaurant being two-thirds empty. The gyro they served had no resemblance to authentic gyro; it seemed to be taken from the freezer, heated, and served cold. Furthermore, my order for the Greek salad went unfulfilled. In light of this experience, I recommend reconsidering this place. Please review the attached picture for reference.

The dinners for our 51st Anniversary was amazing. The large lobster tail was perfectly cooked as were the lamb chops, risotto and creamed spinach. The beet salad was so fresh and gyro meat was tender and plentiful. To complete the perfect meal, our outside server Nick, was perfection in every way. Served with perfect timing,, suggestions and even packed our leftovers. He was so polite and very knowledgeable at his job!

Great Greek food, good service. We had a reservation which we got from Open Table just 2 hours before our reservation time and were seated right away.

I would return here. I would recommend sitting outside to have a view of the water. The service was friendly and attentive. It was quite busy so I recommend a reservation. All was very tasty and nice size portions. I would recommend the Athenian stuffed chicken, the Pork chop or the Chicken Kabob. I would consider the rice instead of the lemon potatoes, my preference.
