    Honestly the best birthday Meal I have had. The food was amazing and well proportioned. The restaurant itself was breathtakingly beautiful, very demure. And the best part was Dion, our waiter. He was exceptionally polite and charismatic. What a beautiful person and what an amazing experience. I will definitely be going again next time im in NY.

    I chose RH Guesthouse, Dining Room to celebrate what would have been my Mother’s 80th birthday. Unfortunately, she died in February. I wanted to spend it as she would have with good food and drinks. The service was impeccable. The menu is elegant and abbreviated, but the selections are more than sufficient. I will definitely return. It may possibly be my annual go-to to celebrate the fabulous woman who was my Mom!

    We recently dined at STK-NYC and it was a fantastic experience. My husband had the ribeye, which was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and seasoned wonderfully, with a rich, flavorful taste that he couldn’t stop raving about. I chose the sea bass, which was beautifully prepared and had a delicate sweetness to it. While the sweetness was slightly more than I expected, it was still delicious and well-balanced overall. The atmosphere at STK was lively, making it perfect for a date night, and the service was excellent—attentive and friendly without being overbearing. We’d absolutely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great dining experience in NYC. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

    RH C&CB is a MUST visit in NYC if you can get a resy. Everything about the experience, from the walk down the stairs to the placement of the infinite champagne bottles around the sitting tables, is top shelf, literally. Recommend the caviar chips, which run $40 a chip, but are well worth it for the vibes.
