I don't usually come to this area but I heard good things about Rasa and decided to check it out. The restaurant has quite a lot of outdoor seating, may be even more than the inside. I came without reservations and there wasn't a wait. I sat inside and the atmosphere was very cozy. It wasn't loud at all.
Service: The server was friendly and welcoming. He explained the menu to me and my friend. He also made recommendations of his personal favorites. Our server was also very attentive and checked up on us frequently.
Food:
Chopped salad: this was their top menu item so of course I had to order it. It was well tossed and it had a bunch of everything. The jalapeƱo cheese sauce on the side of the peel was really delicious. I'll definitely order this again if I return.
Octopus: the octopus dish was good. But it wasn't outstanding to me. The sauce was nice, it was very bold in flavor.
Shrimp: the shrimp dish was good as well but nothing blew my mind.
Overall I had a nice experience at rasa. The service and food was great. I may return to try the tasting menu.
