That's an interesting expression in English. "Rather" seems to act like a verb. I think it's an ellipsis, or stuff. I'd say from the English point of view it's perfectly grammatical. This from Webster's: :) 7. had or would rather, to prefer that or to: I had much rather we not stay. We would rather go for dinner after the show.
